    We thought we would try this cafe again as we had not been here in a while. We were greeted by a friendly and polite member of staff and shown promptly to a table. The selection of food is quite wide and a great selection of pasties and cakes. You order at the till but you have to set your own table as cutlery isn't provided by the staff. The cafe is very well spaced out and you can feel quite comfortable and relaxed They also have comfortable sofa type chairs to sit on. I would say probably best to book these if possible. I ordered the 8oz bacon joint and we also had risotto. The latte I had was really good My food was very well cooked and served hot. It was really tasty 😋 My partner said the risotto was served hot and was very good. Overall it was a great experience and definitely will be going back. Price wise this cafe is at the top of the price scale so best to be aware before hand. The quality is definitely worth paying for. ❤️❤️😋😋 Well deserved 5 stars from me

    The garden area was excellent, although 2 staff members were arguing and raised voices to each other. Lots of choice of plants and other garden related items. Even I was walking around I found members of staff extremely helpful offering to move, carrying things for me. And full of advice. I visited the restaurant and found a great menu with specials I hade open steak sandwich for £10.95 which was beautiful and great value for money. My wife had the open prawn sandwich for £10.95 which was a huge disappointment at for the price was very poor in portion size. The staff in restaurant ware polite and friendly.

    A very bright and trendy garden centre restaurant. Very popular with retired folk when we went. Does a good selection of light lunches and brunches. A little pricey for the amount you get. A great place to take your elderly Mum / Auntie. The special goats cheese tart was delicious. Also had a good selection of cakes but didn’t have any. Parking can be difficult at popular times.

    Went for Christmas dinner and the food and service was beyond amazing. The staff were also very lovely and approachable. I would recommend this place to anyone and they have a large range of food from just coffee and cake to very nice meals.

    Good food, service very good. The portions were generous. I personally thought the uncomfortable chairs were a bit too close together. When the person behind me move, their chair hit mine. Not their fault. They were just too close together.

    First visit. What a wonderful place to eat! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit today. Ourselves and our friends all had panini, salad and coleslaw. It was delicious! The wedges are amazing, especially with the sour cream and chive on the side, nice touch 👌. I love the fact you put the wedges and chips in the little plant pots, that was great. You have some wonderful staff that look very smartly dressed and work very fast and efficient. The mature lady with brown hair, sorry I didn’t catch her name, she was very smiley and pleasant and seems like a lovely member of staff to have. 5* for food and service. If you are ever in the area you won’t be sorry. I do wish the specials board was a little bit more noticeable or in view when entering. We were trying to work out what a dish that looked really popular as it was flying out. Then we realised when people kept standing near our table that the specials board was behind us and that a lot of people were having the open steak sandwich. It looked amazing!! We would have gone for that if we’d known. We really enjoyed what we had anyway, so please don’t think that was a complaint as it wasn’t. Thank you for a lovely experience.

    The Seed Room would stand alone as a cafe/restaurant. It is a fantastic addition to the garden centre. There is a great selection of well cooked dishes, using top quality ingredients. The staff are friendly and professional. Prices are reasonable and cakes etc are to due for.

    My fiance works here and took me here for my birthday. Visited England for a week. First time having an Afternoon Tea and it was amazing. The staff wanted to meet me while I visited. They was all lovely. The best thing I ate was the salmon sandwich that was part of the Afternoon tea. Probably the best thing I ever had. Their cream cheese and chives pulled it off greatly. The other sandwiches was amazing and the soup was great. I loved trying scones with cream and jam for the first time. The food is great. I think the tea cups and plates are adorable. I had a great time! Thank you! I also love the natural lighting and atmosphere of the place. Thank you so much!

    Great place to enjoy Great food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Sometimes can be very busy, but you won't be waiting long before a table becomes available. Great place, great food.

    My wife & I went for afternoon tea - a present from friends. The whole experience was amazing. Lovely welcome & explanation of what to do. The sandwiches were out of this world &, for once, we were not overloaded with sweets, desserts etc. At £14.95 per person very good value for money.

    Nice size cafe with a good selection of treats and afternoon teas. Young waitresses can lact a little social skills. Convenient for a coffee and cake after visiting the garden centre. Overall OK but unfortunately nothing special.

    Great choice of food, hot and cold. Great choice of sweets/desserts and cakes. Staff lovely and friendly. Lovely place, clean and tidy.

    Really friendly staff, great food and garden centre as well. Afternoon Tea is very popular and looks amazing! Haven't tried it myself, but everyone partaking looked more than happy.

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was first rate, everyone loved what they had. Clientele was a little older than most of us but can't complain. Only thing that confused me was the large flat white... Guess it's just extra milky but isn't that a latte? Whatever everything we had tasted great. 2 x Fish platter, New York bagel and quiche.

  • 5/5 Rita W. 1 year ago on Google
    A very busy venue. Best to book before you go as you could be turned away or told its a long wait. Excellent food, despite being busy we did not wait long for our order to arrive. A great selection of cakes to finish. Well worth the visit and l will be back.

    Called in here again on the way home after Wakefiekd. Always a lovely place to stop off at. The only slight downside like all garden centre cafes. The noisy atmosphere. Only because of the high roof and hard floors I guess. That said, the food is brilliant and coffee always good. Great service too. Will be back.

    Very busy on a Sunday, but lovely friendly staff! We had two takeaway coffees which were good. The cakes looked amazing, will definitely be back to try them!

    Very crowded, and finding the overflow car park was 'interesting' to find. But once inside the food was amazing in both choice and quality. I had 3 courses instead just a quick snack because it was all so appetising. The staff were especially great, funny, attentive, and quick

    Fantastic cafe. Breakfast is stunning and really popular but the wait is worth it. Staff, although really busy, are very polite and friendly. Love this place.

  • 5/5 Wendy D. 2 years ago on Google
    There were 4 of us, arrived at 11:30 so the breakfast menu was still in force. We had either sausage and bacon on granary or egg royale, both right tasty and I think a good price. The table was clean and the service was quick. And we drank tea for Yorkshire! Added bonus with this cafe is the lovely garden centre that it resides in.

  • 5/5 veronica R. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place. Good food. Vegan and gluten free options. Can be very busy. We sat outside as it was a warm day and there was a 20 minute wait for an inside table.

  • 5/5 Emily W. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed a great breakfast here today. All beautifully cooked and piping hot. Nice surroundings and friendly staff. I'd definitely recommend this place.

    Been today for the 1st time on recommendation. Very clean bright and friendly. The food is excellent with a wide range of dishes. Attached to a lovely well stocked garden centre. Booked for mums birthday in December.

    Upon entering, as a walk-in party of 11, the staff were prompt in offering us the options for seating arrangements to suit our needs best. The offers of drinks, and the speed of receiving them was swift, especially considering the beginning of Dinner service and the relatively busy service. The whole table enjoyed their meal, with almost the entire table opting to choose something different. My Open Steak Sandwich was presented beautifully. The steak cooked perfectly, and balanced well by the Button Mushrooms and Caramelised Red Onion; this is a testament to the skill of the chef, and not a single person at our table had anything but positive feedback for their meal. Strongly recommend this eatery if you enjoy good food and excellent service. If you are passing through, especially given its convenience to a beautiful Garden Centre, stop in for a bite.
