Thurlaston Garden Centre and Tea Room

Lovely tea room.. fantastic wide range of food and drinks available and very good quality, with lovely customer service. They even had a doggy tea room, where you can sit with your dog and both eat.
Only suggestion, the plastic chairs are not comfortable to sit on.

Garden center, had a good range and a few surprises (e.g. euphorbia at £7 🙂).
But, a bit to be desired.

A very disappointing experience today. The staff were so loud and noisy we couldn't hear ourselves speak, crashing pans and dishes, shrieking and shouting to each other, it was dreadful. I did ask them nicely, to tone it down, to no avail. Was looking forward to a long awaited catch up with my best friend, but we downed our food and left. We were given cups of much different sizes, as if one of us were 5 years old, no saucers, the prices were, even in these times, to my mind, exorbitant and it was card payment only, not flagged up anywhere that I saw. We will not be returning.

Awful place! Garden Centre itself is lovely. However the cafe is shocking. Ordered two sandwiches, ended up waiting 50 minutes. I've never had to wait 50 minutes for a sandwich. We were the only customers that had to go up and ask where our order was, they'd forgotten about us! A table next to us came in at the same time, ordered two burgers, a jacket and a club sandwich. They got served straight away. We were still waiting for our two sandwiches. Never again. Maybe if they got more experienced and professional staff, instead of 16 year old girls, that haven't got a clue what they're doing. Then it might be alright. It's places like this that put me off. Safe to say we won't be returning

We love this garden centre plants reasonably priced, also the dog room so bright eddy loves his visits. Forgot no hot food after 2pm only sausage rolls or quiche. Sausage roll beautiful bit expensive on cakes but will always go back love the gift shop to and sketchers.

Lovely café with a dog friendly area. Really polite staff & great menu options.

We had a really lovely lunch. The staff were charming and helpful. We saw people having afternoon tea - it looked awesome!
A little disappointed with the shopping experience - a bit messy, not too thrilled with the products but, each to their own, I guess.

What a great place to meet, shop, eat, drink, chill. The cafe is lovely and light, and warm, it’s accessible for buggies and wheelchairs and has a Family room (Disabled toilet & Baby change).
I’ll definitely be back.

Very popular cafe at this garden centre location. Extensive menu covering all tastes. We were put in the back room, which was cooler due to a door being left open. Dog friendly, with a menu for dog snacks as well. Staff are polite and efficient.
