Mothers Day Surprise!…read more We wanted to take the Mothers somewhere nice and out of town and had seen The Garden Kitchen had been visited by a number of our friends and family on Facebook, all giving great reviews and I can see why! We arrived for final service at 6pm and as you can imagine it was very busy on Mothers Day. The maître d' came straight over to us to let us know how long it would be until we were seated and continuously gave us progress updates. Whilst waiting we perused the small shop of local produce, had a drink and soaked up our surroundings. The Tea Room is a new addition to Holden Clough Nursery being built in the last few years, but looks like it should have always been there! It is beautiful and sympathetically designed to its surroundings. So, the food....WOW! I'd seen pictures but when our Afternoon Tea arrived on a mini picnic bench I felt like clapping!! (In fact, I think I did!!) Such a great idea and adds a little bit of originality and quirkiness to your experience. Everything on my picnic bench was delicious. The Mushroom soup was silky, creamy and full of flavour. The mini Roast Beef Dinner served in an individual yorkshire pudding was beautiful and of course came with a little jug of gravy and beef was tender and pink. The scone was fresh and light with jam that had just the right sweetness and fruit mix. My other main highlight was the Rocky Road, I'm not usually a fan because its too rich and sweet but O-M-G this was amazing. I still find myself thinking about it now two days on. The chocolate melts in your mouth to find small nuggets of biscuit and mini marshmallows.....all washed down with a great cup of coffee. John & Kate who own and run The Garden Kitchen have done a fanstastic job transforming Holden Clough Nursery over the last few years. The service, quality of food and surroundings are 10/10. We will be coming back during the day to visit the nursery (and no doubt the Garden Kitchen too). Thank you for a fantastic evening...and the Mums loved it!! : )

I went with my mum, sister and partner for the Valentine's afternoon tea, it was great it was so different from traditional afternoon tea you got soup in a tea cup, two open top sandwiches and a mini quiche which was a nice change from just sandwiches. The cakes you got was a scone. A mini red velvet cake, a heart biscuit, marshmallows with chocolate, profiterole with white chocolate and a mini love potion in a glass boot. We got a glass of pink proseco it was £19.99 each which is a little expensive for the place as its a tree nursery but they do a different theme for different seasons so it's well worth a visit. I would defiantly go

We were in today and I was a bit disappointed at the new menu, mostly because the croque monsieur is always my go-to. I had the beef brisket instead and it was very nice. Everyone at our table was pleased with our food. We didn't have hot drinks today but stopped in for coffees a few days ago and they were as gorgeous and tasty as always! My only critique-I keep hoping they will add noise reducing panels to the ceiling. It is very noisy and hard to even have a conversation at times when it is busy, which is most times!

At 4.30pm on Saturday 22 January, we drove by Shackletons and decided to bob into the Pavilion…read morecoffee shop and restaurant, part of Shackleton's garden centre. The garden centre and coffee house was open until 5.30pm according to the opening hours displayed on the door but staff clearly wanted to get out early and didn't appreciate us making this that bit more difficult. When we walked in, they looked at us as though we'd just arrived by Boeing and ordered a five course meal but were visibly relieved yet still a little disgruntled when we ordered hot chocolates. Just a few minutes after, a cheesed off looking blonde woman brought over our chocolate which I have to say, was gorgeous; served in a large mug with a generous dusting of chocolate and a complimentary, bizarre tasting biscuit. However, it was difficult to enjoy when she immediately turned on the vacuum cleaner and started vacuuming round our feet, making conversation almost impossible. At the same time, another happy staff member wiped tables around us and started moving and scraping tables and chairs. They could not have made us feel any more unwelcome if they had stood beside the table repeatedly asking, Are you finished yet? Have you finished? Come on hurry up. We're closing We were finished by just after 5.00pm and even before we'd manage to get our coats on, staff started wiping our table and rearranging the chairs. The coffee house entrance leads back into the main entrance of the garden centre and three staff members eyed us and were visibly annoyed when I decided to nip to the loo before we left and one muttered that they'd just been cleaned so mind the wet floor. The toilet floor was wet however, nothing else in there looked like it had been cleaned for days. The soap dispenser was actually dusty, as were the waste and sanitary bins and the towel dispenser. When I came out of the loos and we exited the main building, staff started locking up and switching off before we'd even made it to the car park and it was still only 5.15pm. For those who aren't familiar with Shackletons, it is an incredibly overpriced and have-yourself-on home and garden centre. The prices there are extortionate and extend to the Pavilion coffee shop and restaurant so it's no surprise I'm not remotely impressed with the way staff treat customers with contempt. Next time we're fancying a hot chocolate, it'll be ASDA cafe. At least £1 cheaper and served by staff who will at least pretend they're pleased to see you.

Our starters were massive so go easy here if you're not starving - my gnocchi with nduja was great - a generous amount of sausage and some delicious broccoli to balance the dish which almost stole the show. Some lovely rocket paired with my main - chicken milanese again nearly stole the show. The milanese was a tad burnt underneath but overall was very nice. Bf was impressed by his large portion of properly layered nachos to start and his pizza was good too. Service was pretty slow and we had to go down to the bar to get our bill paid in the end, but we were still out in less than two hours and considering how busy they were the food didn't take that long.

And finally why oh why are they not doing a full range of ice cream sundaes (banana splits, nickerbocker glories etc) The kids only just enjoyed their 'run of the mill ' cornets !

I enjoy the antiques and rocking horses on the mezzanine - always taking home a very reasonably priced scarf or piece of jewellery. The shop has an excellent choice of homemade frozen meals and some small gifts. I also always take home a meat and potato and/or steak pie and some of their bluebell soap.

If you enjoy fresh salads, perfectly grilled meats and have a love of olives then Continentals won't disappoint!
