St Peters Garden Centre Recensioni 

Havnt been for a while but went today as I’ve not been out much since having surgery.
We headed for the restaurant first before the mad rush at dinner time.
Asked at counter to double check it’s ok to find own table, I got told yes it ON the board!
That was first thing, then I got told to order food on the app thing they do. As not using tills.Took us around 30 mins get it done correctly.
So got drinks first , 1 cappuccino which was ok then pot of tea with full fat milk or sterilised milk I think, well it ruined it. Then husband wanted to try a soda water with lime flavoured, which was like plain water and fizz. First impressions of meals was ok till we me and my mother both had cheese and sticky pickle her on white loaf me with brown. Both rock hard at the bottom of loaf awful the to top it off hubby had ploughman’s salad with thin slice of ham with hard bits in and tiny slice of scotch egg which on menu I’m sure it stats that you get “a” scotch egg none of the meal which came to £60 + was enjoyable I’m not going to comment on the puddings as I think I’ve ran out of words.
Have to say we won’t be back and won’t bother to go to garden centre as we like a treat when we go places .

We ourdered an afternoon tea for 3. 2 sweet one savoury. The quality of the food was very poor. Some of the sandwiches had very little filling and there were only 3 flavours. The sweets side was cheep cakes not finish well and dry. We were not aproched once to ask if we needed more tea .
Not worth £25 each more like £7.50 each .

Very helpful and friendly assistants. One went out of his way to find the plant I wanted and the lady on the till was friendly and helped us with the offer we were not sure of.

The David Austin rose talk was very interesting. I think we all leant something, even experienced gardeners. The host was light hearted, helpful, had many years of experience and clearly enjoyed the topic.
ST Peter's staff were also helpful. Steve looked after us. I went on to make purchases( informed choices!). A great afternoon.

The Terrarium course was not only really interesting but the speaker was really engaging and made it an incredibly enjoyable experience I would certainly recommend this course to others should it be coming to ST Peters Garden centre in the future. We created our own terrarium and understood the importance of each of the steps involved.

I recently visited the garden centre, dont get the chance to get there too often as im disabled. And the outdoor cafe staff on shift were brilliant with catering my needs. Ellie especially went the extra mile with helping me find a seat and bringing my order to me which was made exquisitely well and fast! I would love to come back more often to see the staff and their excellent customer service.

Attended a terrarium workshop which was incredible.
The staff in the garden centre are so friendly and welcoming. There’s also a coffee shop/ eating place, which is also very high standard. I had never visited the garden centre before. But definitely will be back soon! Thank you for a lovely day.

Always first class service.

When we arrived the table was already set for us. The lady who served us was very friendly and polite. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea and we felt very relaxed. A lovely experience.

My grandchildren (aged 4 and 6) thoroughly enjoyed their Painting/Planting a Plant Pot experience over the Easter Holidays. Thank you, St Peters - and thank you to the lovely member of staff who made us all feel so welcome. Hoping those sunflower seeds grow and flourish!

The afternoon tea is delicious, so much choice. The bread for the sandwiches was so light. I was pleased that the scones came with proper clotted cream. Definitely value for money.

Very helpful and resolved the issue promptly.ii

This review isn't about the Garden center part of the establishment but the potting shed resteraunt.
To start me and my family had walked in just for tea and cake, as a family of 6 we were going to sit in the booths, I had seen they were reserved not an issue, but the fact that from across the dining area a staff member shouted whilst clicking their fingers at us to not sit there was already a bad start, should have walked away then but I had promised my daughters a treat.
Now on to the other issue the coffee and hot chocolate, they have a sign at the til saying "award winning hot chocolate" it was anything but, I can only compare the flavour profile to one of those cheap artificial packets you can purchase from a corner store, the was nothing award winning about it ! And the coffee it wasn't spectacular, honestly on par with morrisons best which tastes over roasted on a good day all that considering the price of the drinks, astronomical to say the least, absolutely insulting when your paying for nothing special.
You can visit other local garden centers even supermarkets cafes for less the price and better flavour.
Then it took the staff that long to actually make the drinks a queue began to form, causing several potential customers to walk away!
One good thing I can say is the cakes that we ordered were phenomenal, the only bright side about the experience, I would recommend someone goes for a cake but not a drink save your money !

Also whilst having our drinks and eating our cakes staff began to close down the restaurant, wiping tables, sweeping and stacking chairs, at the same time as still taking orders from incoming customers, it made the entire environment unwelcoming.

I would like to add I've have regularly been impartial to a drink and cake from the potting shed over the years having not been there in a couple of years since moving away its a shame to say id sooner go elsewhere now.

We had afternoon tea but don't drink tea or coffee and forget to let them know we ordered drinks and didn't have to pay for the first ones which was very nice of them , would recommend
The garden centre to nice to have a walk around plenty on offer

We did the pot painting and planting at St Peter’s for my daughter and it was adorable. Darcy who ran it was so kind to the children and chatting, helping with whatever they needed. We also got a butterfly hotel and colouring to decorate plus free fruit and squash for the kids. Such a lovely event for Easter!

Wonderful Easter holiday event decorating plant pots and saucers. Grandchildren aged 5 and 9 years thoroughly enjoyed decorating the pots then being taken through the steps in planting and propagating sunflower seeds. In addition they decorated but houses. Event included refreshments and a piece of fruit. The yurt is a tranquil environment. So many goodies to take home to give lasting memories.

Really lovely spring activity for children, planting sunflowers and decorating the pots. The whole thing was really great value, the children got so much from it and a very nice time was had by all.

Great experience for our grandson. Staff are so friendly. Yurt is an experience in itself could be warmer in colder months but you just have to remember to wear plenty of layers.

Easter pot decorating with my 2 year old granddaughter was just great!
Staff were friendly and welcoming and explained to Immy what she should do, they were on hand offering advice and refreshments during the session. She loved it! Would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed painting the pot and planting seeds. The staff member was excellent-very friendly and explained everything really well to the children. ,
