My personal view of the full English breakfast was a 2/5 but as that's my preference I'm leaving a 4/5 for the place overall
The staff were so so friendly and warm when we arrived at the little garden centre cafe opened. The interior is prettily decorated with care and style - there's even a little alcove with a few tables and library wall paper which is fun
My husband had a chocolate shake which he said was very good and we didn't wait long for breakfast to arrive with hot toast and cute little piped butters.
It went downhill from here for me as the beans were EVERYWHERE on the plate covering all the other items in bean juice. Now, if you're a bean fan, I'm sure this isn't a problem but I am not keen on mushrooms, sausage, tomato etc etc being slimy.
The egg was cooked well but it was one top of everything so it had a beany underside and made the other items taste of eggy oil.
Nearly everywhere I've been in recent years serves the beans in a separate ramekin which also makes the plate look nicer.
However, as I said above, this is totally my preference so it wouldn't be fair to mark them down.
The loss of one star is because 1. the sausage didn't taste great quality and 2. the mushrooms were too watery. 3. At £13.75 a full English, I think that's quite pricey for the quality.
The garden centre has some excellent edibles, gifts and cute cards, so well...
Read moreWe have eaten at Treetop many times and the food has always been quite good although a little pricy but last week I ordered a buttermilk chicken burger….this turned out to be a sinewy, fatty chicken thigh which was really horrible. Nowhere on the menu did it say that it was a thigh. I did complain to the waitress who didn’t even know what a thigh was and went off to check and on returning just said yes it was a thigh, REALLY! I just told her that. I was not looking for a refund and my complaint was that it should have said on the menu it was a thigh. It was inedible for me personally and I gave it to my dogs so I spent nearly £15 for some chips and a dry bun. On the plus side their vegetarian sausages are the best I’ve tasted. I was very disappointed in the reaction of Treetop to my complaint, the waitress just said “well nobody else has complained” which really...
Read moreThis little coffee shop is so nicely decorated, giving it a very warm, homely feel. The staff are friendly and service is quick. Prices are not cheap but, looking at the bigger picture of running a place like this so well, it's understandable and we keep coming back! There's a great choice of good options whether you want a full English, lunch, sandwich or a yummy cake/ scone (not sure if they're home made but they certainly taste like it). My only comment would be that it would be great if there could be a "large" coffee option (or a free refill!). Not fair to criticise on here when there's an issue because the staff are very receptive and with the one issue I had, it was dealt with perfectly and very sincerely...
