Southern Lakeland Nurseries in South Lakeland

My friends and I had Christmas Lunch here, in 2022, it was beautiful, we booked somewhere else for 2023, no comparison at all. We decided to book again for our 2024 Christmas Lunch and we were not disappointed, food was served piping hot, on hot plates, turkey was very succulent, veg cooked to perfection, if I had 1 minor criticism it would be that the Brussels sprouts could have been cooked for slightly longer as they were very hard, other than that, it was perfection all they way, 2 of us had sticky ginger cake and 1 of us had Lemon & Lime Cheesecake, all absolutely beautiful. Staff were very attentive without being over the top, all in all we had a fantastic Christmas meal at a very reasonable price and we will definitely be returning next year. Thank you so much.

A great little place, clean, airy with pleasant staff. The food was excellent and the service was spot on. Good car parking and decent disabled access. The garden Center stocks most things. Liked it”!

Fantastic little cafe. Friendly staff and lovely food. Bright and clean with indoor and outdoor seatings very dog friendly!

This garden centre cafe has been transformed from its little corner spot in the garden centre, to a full-scale and very welcoming cafe. It's lovely, light and airy with outdoor seating as well as indoor. A good range of snacks, cakes and light bites, and also soups, and lunches. We often have coffee and a scone after walking on Hampsfell or at Grange-over-Sands. Very friendly and helpful staff, including a lovely lady from Bordeaux who always has a specially warm welcome. Highly recommended!

Clean and bright cafe. A staff member very friendly and attentive. She made us feel very welcome. Service good and food was amazing.

Local nursery. Nice little garden centre with good selection of plants and sundries. Lovely cafe serving excellent food by friendly ladies. Tables outside too with parasols which is nice in this warm weather. You can also choose cakes to take home which they put in a cake box for you. Highly recommended to others.

The garden centre cafe has been re invented into a bright sqeakyclean space (cheerio portacabin!) with extra outside in sunny weather. Soups, mains for lunch, 'specials', cakes and desserts on offer. Very helpful staff, prompt service and overall pleasant. We were there for birthday tea, but there can be hungry walkers and cyclists, families too. Only criticism was the overloud rather intrusive music; light classical would improve the ambiance!

Riding the Bay cycle route, a fellow cyclist recommended this cafe, which is well hidden behind the garden centre. Set in a simple cabin, the food was homemade and very reasonably priced. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to the table. A good selection of food was available and the pies and quiches we ordered were very good. Worth finding.

Another great experience. It was a late for lunch so did not expect much would be left, but we were lucky to get two lovely pieces of quiche with salad and two pots of tea. All for under £13. Great value. Staff always friendly.

Took my two grandchildren here, 18 and 17, they loved it!. Pretty basic but the food is so homely, and of great quality at a great price. Service spot on and staff very pleasant and helpful. Clean and table's cleared quickly. They loved this place, reminded them of somewhere they loved near their old school. I enjoyed it as much as them A hidden gem which is not fancy in any case at but is spot on.

Don’t be put off by the look of the shed cafe. Wonderful home cooked variety of cakes, great big wedges of cakes lovely memories

Place could do with a make over ,BUT but the food is consistently good ! veg soup usually on offer ,good menu with wide selection of sandwiches , baked potatoes etc , excellent latte !!

Great value for money, excellent cakes and drinks. Staff always really friendly. Not the most comfortable cafe, but look beyond that and you will not be disappointed. Always very popular at lunch time.

A basic cafe environment but with great friendly staff. Menu is limited but all made on the premises so everything freshly baked and lovely fresh salad and sandwiches and cakes.Great coffee and hot chocolate.

We called into the garden centre this afternoon on a day out with my mother and uncle. We admired the plants and commented how healthy they all were. Unfortunately the guy (who I think was the owner) was very rude and clearly did not want to be bothered by any questions. When we asked him if he stocked certain plants he waved his hand in the direction of them and rolled his eyes. He certainly does not deserve any customers! I for one, would never buy another plant from their in my life!!!

Called in here today to pick up some vegetable plants, seeds and other bits and pieces. Was quite disappointed as they seemed to be short of stock which is very unusual. Staff always friendly and helpful. Will not prevent me from returning.

This is the place to buy plants from a massive selection both in their greenhouses and outside for trees and peranials.

Called in here as we were in the area and wanted a few bits for the garden. It was very quiet and hoped we would have picked up a quick coffee but the small cafe at the front was closed. If we had more time we would have visited the excellent cafe at the rear, in the porta cabin. It is always busy but has excellent food and drinks. The nursery did have some very good quality plants.

Visited this small garden centre on a coffee stop while walking to Cartmel. Small friendly coffee area with limited food. Garden centre is nice with friendly staff

Arrived at 11.00 but the cafe was shut and nursery only half stocked with plants. Did buy a nice rosemary bush though.

Jardín que venden vales jardín nacional, pero cuando vuelva a pasar allí no te dan cambio. El asistente no era servicial, diciendo por todas partes es el mismo, pero cuando le dije que no era que ella no estaba interesada. Las plantas son de buena calidad, pero que necesita volver a algún sitio donde el servicio al cliente es pobre.

Encontramos el jardín en un pie y necesitaba algo de sustancia. El café y el pastel donde encantador, el servicio fue amable, y el entorno general es muy agradable. Mientras mirando alrededor después, vimos algunas cosas que me gustó, así que volví al día siguiente con el coche a comprar. Parecía un pequeño jardín bien equipada, pero lo que es más importante, sirve café y tarta a caminantes hambrientos!

Un lugar excelente. Debe ser el mejor café, buena relación calidad-precio. La comida es excelente, y el personal amable. La porta cabaña no tenía buen aspecto desde el exterior y el interior es un poco cutre. Mira más allá de eso y no te decepcionará. Las raciones son bastante generosas y normalmente terminan compartiendo pasteles. Es muy popular y concurrida la mayoría de veces el almuerzo.

24/03/2107 Visited this very pleasant garden centre today for the first time. Very good quality plants and excellent service from very friendly people. The cafe is to the right as you enter and is great . Will return again very soon David from St Annes...

Para un café cabaña porta en la parte trasera del jardín, la comida es excelente. Grandes porciones sabrosas a un precio muy asequible.

Traditional cafe with nearly everything home made ... i can safely say their scones are lovely , as is their...

A lovely little nursery which provides the needs of gardeners. The nursery also sells bird food and related products. They also sell various gifts and cards. They also have a small coffee shop.

Garden centre dons't stock the largest range of plants and seems to be more targeted at what the local gardeners will need around the year. If your thinking of going for coffee, I would personally try holker hall instead if it is open, or go to Cartmel. The cafes in the garden centre are ok, but suited to those who came in their gardening gear to get a few petunias!

Been visiting this cafe for years! Lovely friendly staff. They do a mean toaste sandwich with a generous side salad & enormous, delicious slabs of homemade cake which we usually can't resist but often have to share! Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

We nearly missed this cafe when you entered the garden centreThere is a small coffee place just to your right and today it said closed it was only when we looked for the toilets at the back that we spotted the cafe the food was great as were the staff(nice and friendly )The building is very tired looking and could do with some TLCsignage at the front wouldn't come amiss we will certainly call again

Wanting a rest/break whilst cycling around beautiful Southern Cumbria. Going through Cark? Then stop at this Garden Centre. Walk through the shop and at the back there is an excellent Cafe serving Hot/Cold Cafe type food and fantastic Cakes (Carrot Cake, mmmmmm). Don't eat too much otherwise you will break your Bike frame!
