"The selection of outdoor plants at this restaurant is amazing! The staff is very friendly and the site is huge, so make sure to set aside an hour or two to explore. There are no parking time limits, which indicates the size of the place. I was lucky to visit during a 50% off sale on some outdoor and indoor plants, as well as pots, so I found some great deals. While there were some damaged houseplants, they were discounted accordingly. The selection of houseplants, though small during the sale, was very unusual. I can't wait to see the store restocked with more rare and unusual plants. The selection of trees is also fantastic, with great prices on pots and bargains throughout. I will definitely return and would even bring my family for a fun outing. There is even a cafe on-site if you need a break after spending so much time exploring!"

This is a fantastic spot for plant lovers, and the coffee shop serves a delicious ploughman's lunch. I will definitely be returning.

Went for birthday breakfast. Staff were excellent and very helpful. There was plenty of food which was well presented and very hot. A great experience. A big thank you to all concerned. Helped to make my birthday a great day.

The service was attentive and quick. I ordered a regular americano, but it resembled more of a weak filter coffee. However, I was mainly impressed by the vast selection of plants available at competitive prices. Overall, it is definitely worth a visit.

I recently spent £115 at this restaurant and was disappointed by the rude and dismissive attitude of the women at the checkout. Another staff member joined them and they had a conversation in front of me, making me feel like I was being ignored. I have been a loyal customer and have seen these women multiple times before, but after this experience, I will not be returning to this restaurant. View menu

We used to love Simpsons but we found today it has gone downhill. Staff in coffee shop ok but food was not as good as it was, had something floating in my tea so had to ask for a new cup and also door to tent area left open and was a massive draft so again had to ask the staff to close the door! The nursery was not much better, staff not helpful at all, can't be bothered, I'm afraid I won't be returning, time to find a new nursery to get good food and plants

Had I read the reviews going back to 2023 for this place we most definitely would not have visited for lunch. We visited on 26th March 2024. I had ham , egg and chips with salad and my wife had the Caesar salad. These were followed by an apple pie and a lemon meringue. All were very good and we were served by pleasant and helpful staff. We didn't have to wait too long, considering they were very busy and it is obviously popular. We would happily return if we are in that area again. It is also an excellent garden centre with, mostly, very good quality plants. I am a keen gardener, once worked at a garden centre and recognise good quality when I see it.

"We were here for a family reunion on Fathers Day. I was going to give 3 stars but having had no response to 2 feedback emails that I sent I have downgraded it. This is the honest feedback that I sent: I’d like to thank you for your help in putting our family meet together. We were pleased with the comfort and ambience of the area where we were sat. We also felt the staff were pleasant and courteous. The meals and the drinks received a mixed feedback. We felt that the vegetables and sauces were very good although a group of 4 were given a small dish of green vegetables to share. Some time later a request for more green vegetables was dealt with but the timing was not good. The fish and chips were commonly well received. I’m afraid that the other aspects of food and drink and most importantly ORGANISATION were poor. When we arrived a waiter came over to take orders of the people that had not placed an advanced order. 2 people at one end of the table asked about the ordered drinks and had to say what they ordered and their order was delivered. I was a little concerned that 2 coffees ordered for the sweets of Peter and Jenny were bought with those 2 drinks but they seemed OK with taking them then and despite all the complaints in this email I don’t want to find fault. At my end of the table the waiter told me that he would come to me with my order but he must have forgotten. Starters were brought for those few that ordered them and a waitress eventually came through to enquire if everyone was OK. I said me and my wife were still waiting for our drinks order. After another 10 minutes someone cam back with the 2 decaf flat whites that we ordered for the end of the meal. Unfortunately the waiter, who was clearly distressed to be told to take them back and bring the correct drinks order, wished to engage with me in a disagreement about where the fault for this lay in front of all my family. This did upset me. Eventually my ale and my wife’s wine was delivered to us – it had taken over 90 minutes to arrive and both the ale was tainted and the red wine not pleasant. In addition the 2 pre ordered drinks were brought for a second time! The poor organisation also meant the meals did not arrive in good time. After nearly 2 hours most people had not had a bite to eat. The meat was very poor. The beef was inedible (very tough) and the poor standards of both meats was fed back to a waitress. By the time that sweets arrived staff was particularly flustered. The sweets came so late that 3 of the people that had ordered ice creams had to leave to catch their train. Again our drinks were forgotten so I asked for the 2 decaf flat whites. These were eventually brought but they were luke warm. My wife felt embarrassed for the staff so she drunk hers anyway as she did not want another accusatory conversation in front of our group. I had to ask for mine to be replaced as I felt that it was unpleasant. That concludes my feedback although I should say that there were other deficiencies. You have been warned!"
