Staplecross Garden Centre

It does look a bit neglected and a lot of the plants looked decidedly unwell. Popped into the cafe in the train carriage, which is quite sweet. The girl who served us was delightful and we had a nice cuppa and a nice fresh toasted tea cake. The menu looked good. Would we come back? Probably not due to the poor quality of plants - doesn't help with Blackbrooks just up the road. It's a shame.

Went to the garden centre yesterday and couldn't belive my eyes when we found a beautiful converted train carriage into a cafe Tea room. It wasn't actually open as it's just been taken over by a wonderfully friendly lady and her very chatty husband.They invited us in to have a look and it was amazing. It felt like we was in an Agatha Christie novel. The lovely lady gave us a preview of the new menu. She made us a coffee and a home made scone which was mouth-watering tasty.We could tell just by looking at the place and talking to the couple that they both are passionately dedicated to excellence within their business. They informed us they are opening this coming Tuesday.If the food and service are as good as the decor, ambiance and feeling this place gives off then we will be regulars.

Having been here many times to the Railway Tavern. I can say that the staff are all loverly. Only beaten by the high quality of the food. Daniel has a passion for food and it comes across in the food. There is a Breakfast Challenge worthy of a Man Vs Food Episode.The Train carriage has a history and a story of how it came to be in the location.If you visit this cafe is a hidden gem. If visiting the area have this on the list to start your day.

Excellent no-nonsense food in the quaint railway carriage cafè.

Very disappointing. I had seen a flyer in the What's on magazine and thought we'd have a drive out.The plant section was a bit sparse but to be fair it is under new ownership. There were little huts at the rear with homemade items, antiques and brick a brac.We didn't stop at the coffee shop but could see outside seating.The nursery shop was dark, untidy and not very inspiring sadly. Maybe one to revisit next summer!

This is a hidden gem of a place with a very good cafe that’s in a old railway carriage will very good priced Menu and there’s some food eating challenging meals if your up to it

What a wonderful Garden Centre. Excellent breakfast in an old railway carriage! Nice Latte. Kind, helpful staff to serve you. Easy parking. Great prices! Lots of little shops! Very interesting old tram museum! This is a must visit!

My husband and i went for food here as we keep passing the shrub centre for years! The food was delicious and the staff really friendly! And then after we wondered round the various sheds. Really enjoyed whole experience and definitely going back!

What an amazing garden centre. We popped in today for wire and we were blown away by the kindness of the staff. My husband's glasses had broken on our drive to Bodiam Castle (hence the need for wire) the staff helped to ensure that my husband's glasses were secure and safe. Thank you so much! X
