Spring Garden Centre

Had carvery, couldn't have most of the veg or any of the potatoes... already knew I would miss out on Yorkshire pudding. Apparently the carrots are cooked in butter as well as the roast potatoes! I had 2 slices beef, green beans and swede with gravy rubbish value for money! Felt I had to apologise for asking although I had actually asked at start of the carvery. My daughter also had battered Quorn and chips, I had to ask for the salad and BBQ sauce to be brought to the table as they had forgotten all that! Rubbish service and rubbish value for money

Haddenham garden centre. Big dog and pet accessory department. Well stocked. Have used this garden centre many times with #rockylongdog as they are dog friendly as advertised on their website, or so I thought. Had gone to purchase a harness so needed to take #rockylongdog in for size. “Sorry, no dogs allowed”. I asked why as it’s advertised on your website that you are dog friendly. “We have had problems”. Was the response. Have a look on Insta and you will see #rockylongdog. Disappointed as had my mum with me who suffers from Alzheimer’s and she could not grasp why we could not go in. Anyhow, went to Dobbies Wendover and no problems. Great pet section and #rockylongdog was sorted out.

The Carvery was very nicely cooked what we had. This is our second visit and both times was the same, the staff was filling up as fast as they could when they had the food to fill, the lady serving the meat had to keep going and collecting things herself which should not happen, there was no chicken or pork ready, someone from the kitchen came and took most of the potatoes so there was none left for people waiting. Also when we finally sat down someone had sat next to us with a dog this should not be allowed. We will not be visiting again.

Visited this cafe whilst taking our 2 young children to the Christmas display. We bought an adults carvery as well as another adult meal and a children’s meal. Our 1 year old doesn’t eat much and has a bit of a cold, so eating even less than usual, and so would no way have eaten a kids meal so we decided, as we’ve done MANY times before to ask for a side plate so as he could just have a little bit of ours. Never in my life have I known an eating establishment refuse this request until today! I was told rather abruptly that it was against company policy to do so, even after explaining the situation. We had spent well over £20 in the cafe, as well as more in the centre itself, I really didn’t think this should be a problem. In addition the baby changing facilities were disgusting, dirty nappies piled on top of an overflowing bin! It wasn’t particularly busy (Wednesday morning) so this obviously hadn’t been attended to that day. I will not return here with my children again, I will go somewhere they are more willing to assist with babies. Really disappointed!

Now open at Ramsgate having taken over Wyevale, but no TripAdvisor page yet? Firstly, don't arrive between 11am and 11.30am expecting hot or tepid food. Breakfast orders finish at 11am, lunch orders don't start until 11.30am.. no, you can order but they won't start cooking it until 11.30am. I ordered the gammon at 11.15am but had most definitely finished my coffee by the time my food arrived at 11.50am! The food was average. It was warm, not hot, a complaint seen elsewhere amongst these reviews. I was most disconcerted to see various store, garden and what appeared to be maintenance staff wandering in and out of the kitchen. Some went in and left with plates of hot ? food that they took across the shop floor to a staff room? , before my food was ready. Tool belts and dirty boots. I wonder what their health and safety, infection control procedures are?
