This isn't just a café it's a unique environment. Set in the greenhouses of a proper plant nursery, not a retail therapy garden centre, the mismatched (but oh-so-comfy)furniture and crockery make it feel homely. The staff are friendly and attentive, and made a fuss of our dogs and the coffee is good and strong, with huge scones and butter for elevenses. You can watch the nursery staff potting up and doing their jobs, and there's a small bookcase of garden related books to browse at your table. Even better than we remembered from last year!
On arrival I was initially disappointed that The Glasshouse was no longer serving cooked breakfasts. We were advised that everything to eat was on display in the glass chiller cabinets. So a venture into French cuisine with two Croque-monsieur. One ham, one mushroom and both very nice. Also on display various cakes and some interesting other savoury dishes. A limited menu on display but nevertheless interesting.
We have visited this cafe twice recently, coming across it at the nursery. It is excellent in service. Food and location. All the products are homemade including the jam for cream teas. It's hard to decide what to choose .It has improved tremendously in the last year or so under new management. I think we'll be coming here regularly, buying plants too after walking the dog in the beautiful nearby countryside.
I don't think we've ever had a tea break in a greenhouse before! This is a quirky place with mismatched furniture and crockery and we loved it. We stopped for an afternoon cuppa after a day's walking and enjoyed the generous teapot and cakes, while watching two ladies potting up plants and two dogs playing in the next door greenhouse. Cheerful staff and value for money.

My family and I are regulars at the Glasshouse and we are always welcomed by the owner and her friendly staff. We are always spoilt for choice from the menu which uses local home grown produce and includes tasty homemade recipes. The staff always cater very well for our various needs and we always have a wonderful time relaxing with tasty food choices.
Fabulous food with local produce, endless tea and wake up coffee. Very friendly and attentive service. Had the full breakfast which was very full.Children very much enjoyed their varied mini versions of a cooked breakfast. The specials board looked very interesting too for a lunch so we will be back to try one another day.
It's not often that you find a cafe in a greenhouse, but it works. All homemade food, very friendly service from the owner the ideal coffee stop while you're buying your bedding plants. Open during the opening hours of the garden centre/nursery.
This is true old world charm with an amazing family run Plant center. The food was rustic we had Spanish salad with Chorizo and Hallumi. The cakes were unusual and very good .
