The restaurant is part of the Hillier garden centre and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Well worth a try if you are visiting the garden centre. For drinks or something more substantial to eat, we very much enjoyed our soup and toasted sandwich for lunch. Service was good and clean toilets are nearby.

Went in for lunch, good service, nice food. Was a great place to refuel for the evening ahead at the Music by Candlelight.

Spacious, contemporary and comfortable inside the restaurant and large, spacious outdoor area so you can dine alfresco with comfortable rattan seating outdoors or modern bench-style seating and chairs inside. Ordered the full veggie breakfast which did not disappoint. It was value for money as it included two eggs sunny side up, mushrooms, tomato, two hash browns, toast with butter, baked beans served in a small bowl and two large sausages which had a delicious seasoned mash potato texture. Tea or filtered coffee is also included in this breakfast option. The service was quick and excellent, staff were very friendly and happy to help with any query we had. We'll definitely be returning. Hope they add pancakes to their menu as my wife kept on tucking into my breakfast which I could have happily eaten myself!

A great place to have a quick lunch or an afternoon tea after scrolling through the park. A lot of families comes with kids so it can get a bit loud.

There are some history boards on some of the nearby buildings, as it was previously a dairy farm with working horses. The food and drink is very good and outside tables are available.

In the cafe there were 2 history boards, the iced fruit sponge cake and apple juice were delicious, we turned a paper cup upside down to make a shallow pool, to feed a family of 5 wasps 2 teaspoons of apple juice.
