I've always loved this garden center but recently its lost its 'sparkle' since they've started selling 'cook' products and other foods there's little room left for the lovely gifts they used to sell. Today I visited with friends who had not been before and we...stayed for lunch. The restaurant was very busy and the menu looked good but what a disappointment. The drinks arrived almost instantly by a silent waiter who plonked the tray down and walked off. The food soon followed and was very mediocre. It was advertised as cottage pie with veg. The veg was a dish of peas and the cottage pie was tasteless apart from the oversalted mash. In future, if I'm passing, I'll pop in but will stick with tea and cake.More
