We discovered this little gem this week. Looking for somewhere to meet up with friends for a pre Christmas catch up but needed to be able to bring 4 month old puppy too! Booked the festive afternoon tea. Delicious homemade selection of festive sandwiches, sausage rolls and sweet treats with proper teapots of tea. Outstanding, tasty spread. Service was excellent and included the dog . I was especially impressed with the quality of the Christmas cake slice!

Pleasant place. Lots of parking. Lovely sandwich , with fresh quality ingredients and carefully presented. Sadly service was a bit slow so didn't have time to look around garden centre. Staff were polite and friendly. And pleased to see teas and coffees served to the table rather than as many a garden centre people standing around in big queues. If you're passing definitely worth popping in. But remember to give yourself time if you want to look at the plants as well.

The afternoon tea was lovely today. The sandwiches and cake were gorgeous. What made our meal though was the service from Oliver. He was attentive without being too much, he was friendly and eager to please.

Lovely choice of cakes although sadly not gluten free, however they did come up with a brownie which wasn't on show and had to be served warm. I assumed it was frozen and didn't hold out for much flavour but it was actually delicious, light and chocolaty! Little Ru loved his puppachino too. Service was friendly and efficient and you could sit inside or out with dogs. Will call again and may even buy a plant or two, very healthy plants at competitive prices.

We visited the cafe on a Saturday in order to be able to compare it with its sister cafe (Bowring Park Cafe in Wellington). It didn't disappoint, the coffee was excellent, the Club sandwiches - delicious and the cake to die for. We will be going back.
