Top Cafes in Ashurst and colbury, Hampshire

Beautiful garden centre, clean, amazing displays, choice of products is outstanding, nothing not to like, the ailes are wide and everywhere is easily accessible.

My elderly Mum and I visited for me to buy plants and a pot as a gift. We decided to have lunch. I chose a baked potato with Mediterranean vegetables, my Mum had fish and chips. Unfortunately, as baked potatoes do when they are cooked and then not eaten straight away, go soggy inside and out. It's not the fault of the catering, as it's impossible to know how many people are going to order at any one time. The Mediterranean style veg was bland and tasteless though, which meant my plate was sadly left mostly full. My Mum said her fish and chips were "Ok". The batter wasn't crispy and the chips were pale and thin, not chunky. I loathe to review the food like this, but it's just honest feedback I'm afraid. Loved the Mango smoothie though! 😊

All in all we had a lovely visit and will definitely be returning.

Local to us but a must visit garden centre for their Christmas shop. Great hot chocolate and cake too.

After looking around the whole centre, we decided to have a meal at the restaurant. I was told that it was going to be at most a 25 minutes wait for our food. At first, I was apprehensive, but then I decided to wait. I ordered a pannini. There was obviously a backlog of orders as the restaurant was exceptionally crowded. There were so many things from which to choose.

The man with whom I placed my ordered told me straight away how long my order would take. A very rude woman barked at the man and stated that she had been waiting for half an hour. There was no need for her to be so mean. The place was very busy and the members of staff looked as if they were doing everything that they could to please everybody.

When it arrived, I did even have to wait for 25 minutes. My food was served with a lovely salad and it was prepared nicely.

We attended this place again recently and it was evident that the members of staff had worked hard to put up Christmas decorations.
