The Waterside Café

I'd booked afternoon tea for my 90 year old relative. From the start it was very simple and easy to book and pay the deposit. A table was reserved for easy access as 2 members of the party are disabled. The cafe was clean, well lit and has a wonderful view of the lake. The food was delicious and there was certainly plenty of it. Now for the service. I have never been anywhere with service like it. The team couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble. We brought a cake with us which was brought out when we were ready and the ladies gathered around and sang happy birthday which was a lovely gesture. Sharon who looked after us whilst we were there was friendly and so attentive. She genuinely made our visit and didn't stop smiling even though the place was packed and she was incredibly busy. Our relative absolutely loved her day there and can't stop talking about it. Thank you

Went for Afternoon Tea, a belated birthday present. Had to queue to be seated, but it was very busy, however a table had been reserved for us. Food quickly arrived and looked delicious. Only down side was only filter coffee and breakfast tea included, I usually have decaffeinated drinks. Maybe they should look at that or allow you to pay extra. It was very busy, so noisy and we struggled to get more coffee for my husband. Maybe they should give you a small pot. For the price it was very enjoyable and would definitely return.

Had a fantastic Christmas afternoon Tea, great value for money, especially with little extra surprise of Xmas plant, really friendly staff, great service definitely give the Waterside Café a try

Clean, tidy,friendly staff,food wait was not long came out with coffee and it did not dissapoint will be returning in future.

This cafe is superb! I can't fault anything with the food, service or atmosphere. It is just lovely.We went on Sunday afternoon for lunch as a party of 5. The staff were all so pleasant, attentive and friendly. The food looks pricey but is worth it for the massive portion sizes! Everything was really delicious too. The oat milk hazelnut lattes knocked Starbucks out of the park.The food came out really fast and was hot and fresh. The sprinkle cake that my daughter had was divine. Will definitely be back.

Friendly and helpful staff look after you well at this wonderful garden centre cafe, whether you sit outside by the lake with the ducks or inside in the comfy booths. Cakes are great and the coffee and tea give you a lot of choice. Fairly standard lunch menu is a good quality and all at a fair price. Wonderful place to take an older parent or a young child. Why not walk round the lake and meet the fairies before feeding the ducks.

Big difference from last time I went there food Was very good now it did drop significantly but it's back up there were it should be WELL DONE I'M PROUD TO BE SEEN THERE

Wow what an amazing cafe/restaurant. One of the best toasted sandwiches I have had for a long time! Served with salad. Offer a large selection of teas and coffee.And the cake selection well just check them out the caramel cheesecake was heavenly !Thoroughly recommend!
