The Garden Village Café — Restaurant in England

I take my gran here often. Staff are so helpful and accommodating. There is accessible parking just outside and you can book a table if you want to, so I always ask for one near the door to save my gran much walking. It is next to a radiator too, so it keeps her toastie in winter. My gran enjoys lunches out and this place is always her choice. Staff are accommodating if we request a smaller meal, as a big plateful puts my gran off eating. Changing daily specials. Homecooked food, generous portions and very well presented. Staff all work hard and always have a welcoming smile. There is some outside seating too and being at the garden centre you can walk around it before or after. Coffee is good and have lovely homemade desserts in the display chiller....

Today was my first visit under the New Management, and upon arrival was impressed by what I saw. Staff immediately acknowledged our arrival and pointed us to a free table, already prepared for the first customers of the day. A very friendly waitress arrived straight away with menus and took our coffee and breakfast food order. The New Village Cafe, had good sensible background music playing which added to the atmosphere. The coffee was good and both our sausage baps arrived quickly were excellent. With no parking difficulties and good opening times, a prompt return visit is likely. Thanks again to our waitress who...
