Garden Kitchen And Cafe - Cheshire East

And I had both the crispy belly pork and chalk potatoes with black pudding. and it was absolutely fantastic. Ben who served us was very polite and friendly and efficient. and is a loan to the facility.

Fantastic location. Lovely building. Loads of parking. Nice food and selection of drinks. Pictured is the tempura beef salad with black and blue fries.

Lovely food, very tasty and well presented! I had the duck pancake starter, good portion. Came as a whole leg with 3 pancakes. Main, I had the gammon which was a D Cut gammon came with pineapple and a poached egg. The pineapple was not cooked, it was fresh which didn't taste bad, but wasn't quite as soft as it would've been if it was grilled cooked to some extent, but still nice. Wife had a Chicken, bacon and leek pie which gutted me as it was a good sized portion. I went gammon thinking the pie would be small, but it certainly wasn't. I tasted it, came with a rosemary sauce and was really nice! Wish I'd had that! Great service, very attentive! Only criticism is the service was very fast. We had 2 courses and we were in and out, literally back in the car in 50 minutes. Just felt a bit like they wanted the table back. Personally, I like things to feel more relaxed and a wait between courses, felt like starter plates went and mains arrived. It was busy too, so surprised at the speed of service. Great if you're in a rush get your PJ's on I guess

Came here to try the place out, wishing we hadn't. We tried the one next to Lakeland Decor is simple. Staff are not overly friendly nor enthusiastic. Prices are atrocious, as you would expect better quality food for that. I had the lasagne... It was just like a school dinner, maybe even worse. Lukewarm in the middle. The accompanying salad was terrible. My relative had the soup which she said was very mediocre. Now the service was extremely quick, it only took them 1-2 minutes for our food to be ready, I assume it was microwaved. Also they have no water taps/fountains to fill your glass, you have to get it from the kitchen. So the food was beyond good to say the least. Overpriced prices and simple decor.

Blue Diamond have taken over from Wyevale. The garden centre and main non franchise) shops look like they are being run down for closure. The restaurant has had some changes.....prices are the same for meal deals but the deal itself is much worse. Previously included coffees not cheap) are now extra.....quality is at best average. The significant numbers of elderly customers means that long queues at tills are a regular feature,food is cold by the time that the till waits are over. Lots of lunch attenders particularly OAP ' s) were chuntering that they wouldn 't be returning. You only get one chance to make a good first impression as the saying goes.....Blue Diamond could well consider this !
