They've changed ownership and operation so you now order at the counter. Blackcurrant and apple slice with cream was good.

Lovely food in a lovely setting. There's plenty of seating in a bright conservatory and a good selection of healthy foods including jacket-potatoes, toasties and homemade quiches. The staff were friendly and helpful too

21 Jun 25. Very nice coffee shop at the garden centre. Reasonable selection of food and drink. Seating inside and outside. Dogs only outside. Was advised they finish hot food at 2:30 which was a shame as we were going to drop in for food after 3:30. No access from the main road.

I don’t have to sell this place as find it a treat every time I visit whether it is to visit the garden centre or for something to eat. We visited on Sunday with my father in law who is wheelchair bound and sounded very friendly for wheelchairs. In the garden centre the staff are very helpful and friendly. We had coffee this particular morning and had a visitor to the table see picture.

I love Tall Trees, great selection of food and drinks. we called in for a latte and a tea recently the staff were warm and friendly. The drinks were served quickly and tasted great. We sat at an intimate table for two, but larger groups are catered for, including a large group that had reserved their tables beforehand.

Really nice cafe with the most amazing scones, gardening centre has all sorts (including quirky moustache teacup flower pots) and the shop has a wide variety of gift and home ideas
