I visited the Topiary Restaurant at Lady Green Garden Centre last week for lunch. I hadn't visited this place for years but having heard some glowing reviews from family, I decided to give it another try. Although we arrived around 12pm, the restaurant was far from full so we weren't fighting over tables. We were served quickly at the counter by two members of staff, who between them were working very efficiently. I ordered the tuna sandwich on brown which was absolutely delicious. The cost of this was around £6.75, which admittedly sounds expensive. However, the quality of the food meant that this was good value for money and I really enjoyed my lunch. The sandwich was also served with fres...
This cafe has long been one of my favourite places to eat as the food is great, the staff are lovely, the prices are reasonable and the setting within the garden centre is really nice. However, I was disappointed yesterday when I asked if I could have the gammon, egg and chips from the main menu but without the gammon as I don't eat meat. The server asked the chef who replied that he could do that for me (like he was doing me a big favour) but that I'd still have to pay full price. Given that I'd have to be an idiot to pay almost thirteen quid for two fried eggs and a portion of chips, I politely declined. I reckon double eggs and chips would be a very popular addition to the menu and ask th...
We decided to take advantage of the '2 meals for £15' offer on Thursday evening at this restaurant. The deal runs from 5:30 to 7:00, and we placed our order around 6:15. I chose the trio of farmhouse sausages, but to my surprise, I was served two vegetarian sausages without any explanation. When I inquired about the discrepancy, I was informed that they had run out of regular sausages and only had the vegetarian option available. The meal consisted of two veggie sausages, a serving of mashed potatoes, and a dollop of thick gravy. To make matters worse, the small bottles of soda were overpriced at more than £3 each. It was a disappointing experience, and I couldn't help but feel like I was be...
Roast beef baguette with caramelised onions? Sounds nice except beef was last week's dry and chunky, onions do not come in a jar? They should be cooked in a pan..terrible never again, wife had chicken tikka jacket potato that was dry and chicken hard sauce again from a jar? Time they got a chef that can cook and make an easy sauce..and fry onions?

I have been a patron of Lady Green for several years, bringing clients for lunch. In recent weeks, I have noticed a significant improvement in the food quality. Previously, the food was inconsistent, but during the last 2-3 weeks, I have visited multiple times and have been pleased with each meal.
Love this garden centre and the cafe. They do some lovely meals and snacks which are all well presented and delicious. Usually go for a sandwich but decided on a full lunch meal which was great and not too expensive. The gift shop and garden centre is great also and well worth a visit.
We ordered two coffees, a cake, and a scone. The scone was large but extremely dry, with only a tiny bit of jam. We were disappointed with the lack of food hygiene, as there were flies around the uncovered food. We would not return to eat at this restaurant.
Staff not very friendly. Cup which was given to me was dirty. I asked for a clean one and was passed to me without an apology nor a smile. I just feel like It was too much trouble for them. Food quite expensive.

All the cakes and desserts are not covered and are exposed to people queuing to be served. The pies and quiche are not covered either,all looking very dried up.
We go here on a regular basis and enjoy coffee and cake. The plants are reasonably priced and good quality.
