Studley Garden Store Cafe in Stratford-on-Avon

Mom and I popped in for lunch - what a treat! I chose one of today’s specials - chicken, bacon & leek casserole - so much tender tasty chicken & mom chose pork. There were 5 specials alongside a wide choice on the menu. Great portions, piping hot & staff were so friendly & efficient.

This review is in relation to Supervisor /Manager I believe her colleague called her Jess. When I asked if an umbrella could be placed over our table her arrogance and body language said it all. She really shouldn’t be working with the public. The other members of staff were helpful and polite by and the food was lovely. I feel sorry the staff have apologised for the person who should be setting a good customer service example. I visited with my elderly Mother on Sunday 7th July, needless to say with another two Garden Centres close by we shall not be returning to this one. This looks bad for both the Restaurant and the Garden Centre. She needs a lot more training or maybe a job away from the public, she was so miserable.

Went here on a Saturday morning, and bought some garden furniture for £2,500. We had decided to have breakfast after finalising the paperwork, and went to the cafe, arriving at 11.04, to be told by the'Head of Command' that we were too late, breakfast finishes at 11.00am! Despite my protestations, she would not budge, and wasn't even pleasant with it! Needless to say, I cancelled the order, and went elsewhere for both garden furniture and food! Pathetic customer service at its finest! I've had to enter 1 star which is 1 more than its worth.

Very disappointed. Ordered full English breakfasts and received one sausage, one piece of bacon, one under cooked egg and a ramekin of beans for £12 each! Cups were dirty; had tea/ coffee stains on the outside. Milk had black bits floating in it. Had to ask for cutlery. Spent a ridiculous amount of money for the worst breakfast I've ever had. Won't be returning.

Great soft play area our grandson loves he is 2years old I am 68 so it was fun trying to keep up with him on my hands and knees he loved oit

Dropped in for a coffee. My wife selected a scone for me and very glad she did. Good sized cheese scone, very fresh with plenty butter on the side. Washed down with a decent coffee. My wife had a toasted tea cake which was of a similar standard. Nice homely and relaxed surroundings. Will return.

Visited the Studley Garden centre they have large selection of plants and shrubs and a shop selling a large selection of merchandise including clothing at a reasonable price a soft play area for the children and a lovely coffee lounge serving lovely coffee and snacks and people were enjoying the breakfasts on offer. An excellent experience.

This garden centre and café is now part of a nationwide chain. The coffee was not of barista standard and we found the cake to be overly sweet.

Very friendly staff in the restaurant. Attentive. Met friends for lunch. I had a panini with Brie and bacon. It was very hot 🥵 in the restaurant though and very little shade outside

Just back fro having an afternoon tea in the cafe. The general afternoon tea was great but we had asked fur a special vegan afternoon tea as well The staff went over and above to ensure this was as special as it could be . Lovely sandwiches ,selection of nibbles and fantastic vegan cakes. The staff were so accommodating. Could be more impressed. Thank you for all your hard work.it really was appreciated

Visited Studley Garden to purchase wild bird feed that was very pleasing as the bird food I wish to purchase was on offer a good selection of merchandise also used the Cafe that was very good. Well worth a visit

I would like to say what an excellent asset Rhys is to the restaurant. I visit regularly with my family with the past few times just myself and my 5 year old grandson. Each time Rhys has been the member of staff to greet and serve us at all times very friendly, polite and nothing is too much trouble for him. I visited on Sunday 29.1.23 again excellent service from him I also heard him training a young lady at the till his manner and patience was excellent. I know how hard it is to find good staff he is a keeper!

Visited for breakfast with my partner and little one, we were first ones in and all the staff were friendly and engaging, breakfast was good and tasty, only critique is I like my black pudding crispy. Would return

It's been a while since we visited Studley and it was a combined visit. To buy some tropical fish and have lunch. It was a great a surprise to see such a huge improvement on the cafe/restaurant. It's at least 5 times the original size and the menu is much extended. The surroundings are very pleasant , cane furniture and pot plants made it feel very fresh. It was very busy so be prapred to wait a while as the food is cooked to order. I had the fish and chips and my other half had the steak pie. Both were served piping hot and not a bit was left! Would definitely go again.

Spent a while browsing the centre with a large Christmas section clothing garden requirements plants ect we made a number if purchases and had coffee and a snack in a very nice restaurant lovely coffee and service there is a child's soft play area ideal for youngsters Well worth a visit .

Fab!!! Cakes are the size of my head. It is pricey but you get fed! Fresh food all day and so much choice. Crockery needed updating, the tea pots were really chipped. That us the only moan. It's warm, ideal for family or small groups, disabled and pushchair friendly. Lovely afternoon out. Thanks again x

Our family eat here regularly, and we really like the comfortable surroundings. We have always found the staff to be friendly, and excellent choice of food, always served to a high standard. We have recommended it to friends and look forward to eating there again soon.

Feel I need to write an updated review. Visited Saturday lunchtime so quite busy. Went up and ordered a cold drink and a decaf tea. Waited over 30 mins before I went to chase my tea, lady swept her hand along her backlog of drinks orders, saying she was busy however she was also on her phone! I saw others going up to chase their drinks. No apology just moaning about no staff. The staff seemed to be walking round with lots of food not knowing where to take it. I think my tea came after 45 mins and it came from the children’s play area next door. Didn’t taste decaf. Defo won’t rush back here
