"We popped in for lunch whilst looking around the garden centre. We should have guessed the standards, as the place looked tacky, horrible dust collection plastic flowers etc. No hand sanitiser available anywhere even. No menu’s available, we had to ask someone who looked like...they worked there (no uniform or name badges, so lucky we guessed right) if they just served cakes, as it really looked like that was it. We were told sit at a table and a menu would be brought to us. Unfortunately, no drinks menus available. While we were choosing what to had an elderly lady came to our table with plates full of food, and insisted it was what we ordered . Two old ladies at the table across the room from us waved at her and told her it was actually their food. We chose our lunches, then had to queue for ages in front of the cake counter. I asked if they had wine, was told they did, then had to go over to a bar area to choose which wine (totally ridiculous they don’t have a drinks menu). Once I let the lady know, I had to return back to the cake counter to place our food order, unfortunately an old lady hadn’t been paying attention to me needing to go to tabard to order my drink, and was now stood at the counter in my place, she then had to back up, as did the other people patiently waiting behind her! Certainly no social distancing here. like a lunch club at an OAP’s home. I ordered a root veg curry, and asked for a coronation chicken sandwich, instead of toastie. The lady taking my order said it was no problem, she’d write do not toast, just sandwich requested on my order. Those, a portion of chips, coffee and wine were so definitely not cheap. Even after asking my table number to begin with, before I placed my order, she read back my order and quoted the wrong table number! Fortunately I was able to correct her. We had to pick up our own napkins, salt and pepper from dishes too, rather unhygienic. No cutlers or sauces available. We were sat at our table for minutes, then my friends coffee arrived. I asked where my wine was, the waiter said I had already had it! I assured him I hadn’t, then expected him to get it for me, he didn’t! I flagged down a waitress (my friend had half finished her coffee at this point) asking for my wine. She said she’d get it for me. About minutes just to get a drink after paying for it is ridiculous, having to ask for it three times is bonkers too. Our food arrived. As you can see from the photo, my sandwich was actually toasted! Ridiculous. There was some salad on my plate (not mentioned on the menu), with peppers and tomato on, revolting. It seemed like someone had put just drops of a balsamic dressing on it, incredibly tight. The coronation chicken was very thinly spread, far too many sultanas bulking it out and replacing chicken, no apricot in it whatsoever. The ‘crispy’ bacon mentioned on the menu was actually undercooked streaky fatty flabby bacon, certainly nowhere near being crisp. Really disappointing, I left half of it, at it was worth about The chips were really nice, but I had to ask the elderly lady delivering our food for ketchup. She brought a bowl of tartare sauce! I told her we asked for ketchup, for the chips, she seemed confused, said she thought we would want tartare for the curry! Fortunately she did come back with the ketchup. She brought cutlery and napkins with our food. They must waste a lot of money on unrequited sauces and lots of napkins for no reason. The root curry was horrible, tasted like it came from a tin and had been reheated in a microwave, yuck! All in all, untrained clueless staff, most of which look like they should have retired years ago. Awful food, very expensive for such poor quality. Definitely not a customer friendly place. It seemed to have quite a few elderly customers, perhaps they have OAP specials? Definitely not somewhere either of us will waste our time or money again. Garden centre was dreadful too, fake/plastic plants or decorations, lots nothing to do with gardening, handbags etc as well. There’s a couple of decent garden centres, which also serve food, around minutes away from this place, surprising anyone bothers wasting their time or money here."

We ordered a full English breakfast and pancakes with maple syrup. The flavors were good, but unfortunately, the food arrived cold and was served on cold plates. It was a disappointing experience.

My partner and I came in to have a look at the Christmas decorations and grab some lunch, a very helpful manager in a checkered blazer helped us with our order and gave some great service! A true example of leading by doing! Excited to...come again.

Came here for breakfast mid week weds morning so as you can imagine it wasn’t busy. Ordered at the till and paid to then find out a breakfast wasn’t put through and never came out… then tried to charge me for it even though it...ruined the breakfast as my partner had pretty much finished by the time they offered to put one through. Customer service from the manager was appalling, you’d think they would put it through free of charge for the spoiled morning breakfast but no. Very disappointing.

Sadly really really disappointing. Took minutes to come which was nearly understandable as busy but when the meal came it wasn’t even what was advertised and was clearly not fresh. We both ordered the avocado and bacon which is meant to come on sourdough...toast with rocket. The bacon albeit tasty was so so dry and had clearly been sat around for hours. The bread wasn’t toasted and didn’t seem particularly tasty and came with spinach not rocket…! For you would expect something considerably better than I could easily do at home. Sadly won’t be back.

Its a shame this place didnt meet our expectations as its such a lovely venue. The afternoon tea is pp, which is over double the price of many other nice places. We thought you would atleast get a glass of Prosecco or a cold...drink of choice, but these were all an additional cost. Even asking for a hot chocolate was a problem. The coffees were luke warm and not once did anybody come over and ask how our food was. Scones came out later as they apparently were in the oven, but they came out cold. Its evident this type of review is common and people feel it is overpriced so I'm unsure why they havent done anything about this. Would not attend again or recommend this to friends or family.

Visited for breakfast one day during the summer holidays. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast itself was OK, but could certainly have been warmer. The bacon was quite fatty and the sausage was chewy (it seemed to be quite coarsely ground), however...the poached egg and garlicky mushrooms were really nice, the roll shaped like a mini loaf was cute and I liked that the baked beans were served in a separate ramekin. Having lost track of time talking, we also ended up ordering coffees and a slice of the profiterole torte to share. The coffees were lovely and came quickly. The torte slice was really nicely presented on the plate with a fruit garnish and raspberry coulis. The...

Last Sunday we endeavoured to go for breakfast here. We were greeted by a young lad who offered us the table by the entrance with two hard chairs . I explained that my wife who uses a walking stick due to hip problems, would not...be comfortable sitting there. The bench seat next to it was empty but he would not let us sit there. His only response was sorry guys It's the two uncomfortable chairs or outside. Again not acceptable for someone with hip problems. No other options were offered, he didn't even go to check if there was another seat available. He just explained that one side of the restaurant was reserved which was totally irrelevant to the situation, other than to emphasis their slo... Voir le carte

On a recent Hampshire road trip, a sign at a roundabout for “Arturi Garden Centre” caught our eye and we decided to go for a break to stretch our legs. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had a restaurant, The Orangery Tea House,...and stopped to have late lunch. We were warmly welcomed by the restaurant staff. No reservations are required (although you might consider booking during busy times) and ordering the food was very simple. The menu is diverse: All-Day Breakfast, All-Day Bruch, Lunch, Burgers, Seasonal Salads, Catch of the Day, Deli List, Deli Classics, Lunch for Little People… (menu details on their website). There were options for various dietary requirements. We ordere...

First off all there was no-one to greet us so waited like lemons in a que for minutes to advise them of our reservation then to be told to wait somewhere else and a waitress will come to seat us. Everything would have been...fine it there was clear directions on where to go and a greeter! We was then took to a table but had actually called before hand to ask to sit outside and that it was a special celebration which wasn’t noted down! The waitress sat us down and minutes later came back for drinks but we wasn’t gave a drinks menu, my partners coke tasted like Lidl coke and had no fizz in it and my mock-tail was ridiculously over priced. The afternoon tea didn’t match the menu at all, so for...
