Southwell Garden Centre

What a great garden centre, excellent helpful staff and a great restaurant with a massive selection of home cooked food and cakes

Great place to sit inside or outside when the weather is good.Food is lovely,cakes a d puddings are amazing and staff are really friendly and helpful.Definately recommend.

Such a lovely garden centre, The staff are very friendly and professional, I am a complete novice and I didn't really understand what I was looking for. They gave me inspiration and guidance on what was needed.

Consistently high standard of home made food on offer, great big choice of cakes. Friendly staff and a lovely homely feel to the cafe. Well worth a visit, super selection of plants and garden items. Reasonably priced.

End of the season and looking slightly tired. Decent selection of plants but in varying quality, some have obviously been sat around some time, week filled pots broken and dead branches etc. However the prices of the majority of plants seemed reasonable, certainly compared to other" local sources. Staff friendly and helpful. Didn't use cafe. Will return."

Nice garden centre with the usual plants and gifts on offer. They do a great selection of homemade cakes, flapbacks and brownies. Capachino £2.75 and cakes £2.95. Other more substantial meals also available. Definitely worth a visit.

Great selection of cakes and good coffee! Plus discounted overall price for cyclist for drinks, cakes and meals! Plenty of space and also a great selection of plants and gardening essential needs! :-)

We hadSunday DInner roast pork, fabulous. Home cooked style, quality ingredients, reasonable price, puts all other garden centres cafes to shame. If you are a cake lover, then the home made cake range is unbelievable

Unusual to have such a nice coffee shop in a garden centre.I was surprised to see how big it is.Fab choice of cakes and hot food, with generous quantities.Staff very friendly and helpful.There’s lots of seating outside too. With better weather it will defiantly be the place to go.I will be going back again to try some more of the cakes.25/8/23 Update.We did go back and try the cakes.The millionaires Rolo was disappointing. It has a dry shortbread base that just fell apart when cutting, a very thin layer of caramel but with a reasonable chocolate layer.Teas and quiche for main course were very good. Toilet in the café a little tired.It is a very popular place, being a nice day the seating outside was being used by a good number of customers.The customer service was excellent.10/9/23 Update.This is our third visit, and on a very hot day. We sat outside as we had our dog.There are outside toilets (as well as inside ones), and good doggie facilities. e.g. a doggie water station and bowls.Dogs are not allowed inside.The Tuna Salad, soup and the growler (Ham, cheese & egg cob) were good. Decafe tea's good and lovely staff.The chocolate flapjack (No. 4) was dissapointing. Kept for too long in the case it was showing white speckles. Still edible we did eat it, but the dissapointment continued. Using cooking chocolate instead of 'traditional chocolate' was a mistake.The garden centre cafe obviously has a high turnover of customers. However, because the quality of the cakes have been disappointing and the outside toilets (gents) floor is an absolute disgrace and needs replacing before someone falls over it, I have reduced my rating from a 5 start to a 4.
