Howdens Garden Centre

"Just left the garden centre restaurant and I’m so disappointed. Ordered the hearty breakfast with tea… it arrived with cold burnt toast was told the toaster is broken. Sausage not cooked through and no egg on plate. I know it is busy but I don’t think there is really no excuse. Staff are lovely and polite but must be used to complaints as they don’t seem like they listen or have an excuse ready prepared for the poor quality of the food. Will not return and will be telling everyone I know"

"Staff in restaurant were very helpful, polite and cheery. Breakfast came on piping hot plates and was all cooked to perfection. Lovely hot coffee. The scones.....well, they were something else! Huge, moist and gorgeous! Would feed a family! Cheese/ fruit or cherry. All fabulous.....how a scone should be and very reasonably priced. Our compliments to your baker. But.....Lemon Tart.....10/10. The perfect level of tartness. Restaurant was spotlessly clean and well presented as was toilets and main store. All staff that we engaged with were very helpful. Well done!"

"A great car stop, huge veried range of garden products and lots more. We stop to charge the car battery nearby, and go to the cafe for a cuppa and a rest before moving on. Not cheap but well worth it."

"Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient for EV chargers. Good coffee. It was a cold day but I had to sit outside with my dog while I waited for my car to charge. Perhaps and area inside could be designated dog friendly as in other garden centres and most cafés? Took me a while to find the exit as entrance is one way."

"Great place! Amazing selection of plants, trees and garden furniture. Inside in the shop is everything you could need for gardening and nice gifts for loved one's! Then there is a cafe/restaurant for a bite to eat!"
