Johnsons Garden Centre

Is Open BUT The restaurant is Closed but on a wet day there is plenty to see and they have loads of Christmas things to look at and by if you so wish right along the main road with good disabled parking and toilets P.S. WE ARE HEAR FOR A GOOD L;OOK ROUND

Well I am hear today with one of my support workers and yes it is Begin to look like Christmas they have started to put the Christmas things up and they look very nice with the different colours ect And They are still on the Mark with the CONVID-19 Thing and this we find gives you a safe place to look around and eat

Ok Johnsons Garden Centre are now Owned by Dobbie's Garden Centre and we had a look round the restaurant at the minute is only doing snacks (ect) they have a wide range of garden tools (ect) and plants shrubs flowers you have to go to the restaurant to sanitise your hands place your order and then go sit out side as they are not allowed to serve anyone inside they have a big area to sit down in for your snacks the car parks are still the same disabled (ect)

We visited the garden centre and restaurant for the first time. We were greeted by a rather rude young waitress who seemed put out by our arrival at 3.30pm, explained we could have tea and cake only, we were seated, she arrived 5 minutes later to take our order but didn’t give us a menu. When asked for a menu it was like we had put her out. We paid £13 for 2 x scones and 2 x hot drinks which if the experience was good wouldn’t have been a problem but the service left a bitter taste.

When this was Johnsons Garden Centre we've eaten here and much enjoyed the food. Some of our family live in Spilsby, so it's become a kind of tradition of ours to have breakfast here. Would it be worse now it's part of a big chain ? The easy answer is NO, it's just as good. Excellent breakfast, quality ingredients, well cooked. Friendly, helpful staff, sensible prices. (Excellent plants as well, plus they have kept the local butchers etc in the shop, which is now a kind of Sainsbury Local)

Visited with my wife and her parents on Sat 19th June. Cafe is clean and well decorated. The coffee was great, but my issue is with the shortbread. I noticed on the menu it was £2.95 for biscuits and said to the waitress would that be enough for 3 to share. She served 3 large discs of Shortbread and I paid the bill without checking it first. It was not till later I noticed that I had been charged £7.85 for the biscuits !!!! This is ridiculously overpriced, when you think you can buy a whole tin of shortbread for under a £5. As a cafe you need to make it clearer what you get for £2.95. It ruined my experience

I know it 's nearly Trick or Treat time and we were certainly 'had ' in the restaurant. After spending quite a bit of money in the garden centre we decided to have a drink and some food before going home. I ordered a snack and a pot of tea with some extra hot water. What I didn 't realise until I arrived home was that whilst we were charged £1.40 for a pot of tea, we were also charged £1.40 for the hot water. Basically we were charged for a pot of tea, less the tea. It 's the first time I 've ever been charged for hot water in any cafe or restaurant and I certainly won 't give this restaurant the chance to do it again.

I love Johnson’s garden centre as it is dog friendly. Each time I go to Boston I always call. The restaurant has a good selection of food at reasonable prices and they have a daily specials board too. We had a delicious roast beef dinner with all the trimmings cooked to perfection. A wonderful garden centre selling everything you might need. A pet shop, mobility shop, gift shop and clothing. I leave the dogs with my partner so I can visit Johnson’s well stocked food store selling a good variety of wines beers and spirits as well as locally produced fruit, vegetables, meats and cheeses. A visit to Johnson’s is always looked forward too.

Thinking ahead to Mothers ' Day, and how to make it special in Lockdown, I chanced upon the 'takeaway afternoon tea ' box and service at Garth 's. We decided to try this out beforehand, so ordered just one box to sample before ordering for March 14th. It was fresh, absolutely delicious and very good value. I have, consequently, ordered a couple with mini prosecco bottles for Mothers ' Day; ensuring I booked these before writing this great review! The three staff I had contact with Sarah, Amy and Lesley were all delightful, and a great big thank you to them for providing this service and preparing such great food. We are new to the area I need to change my 'ChocoloverBedford name and I look f...
