"I came to this place with a member of my family, with the aim of having something eat at this venue. After sitting down at table 16, our order was written onto the menu that was set at the table, I opting for the pork steak, potatoes and vegetables, while my companion requested steak pie and chips, along with two lattes for the both of us. This all came to just under £18. As per habit with Covid-19, baby wipes were used to wipe down the table surface, to ensure it was clean. As this was being done, it quickly became apparent how filthy the table was, as the wipes turned black with filth from the side of the table. The staff may disinfect the tables after they are used by customers, but they are certainly not cleaned thoroughly. The server, who acted as cook behind the counter, came and brought the tray, practically slamming it down onto the table before departing, doing all this without comment. Evidently customer service is not a high priority. The food that was served was edible, however, I would not consider it appetizing, especially not for the high price that was paid for this meager, particularly as I've been to similar independent food outlets that offered more for less, and with a friendly smile to go with it. Overall, but for the fact its located at a popular garden centre, this food outlet would not be up and running for long with its business model, of serving small portions of overpriced food, by disgruntled employees to customers sat disinfected, dirty tables. I would not recommend this outlet for its food."
