Fatty food weekend - Part 3 - High Legh Garden Centre - Saturday Lunch Yes, I must be getting old if I am visiting a garden centre cafe HOWEVER, I was there looking for an arbour (yeah how rock'n'roll am I???) and my toddler was asking for some dinner so I had no option really. This has recently been refurnished and now they have a swanky new cafe that is much bigger than the old one. I was impressed with the kids meal we got, a big fat sandwich with proper ham - although we did manage to put the young couple (no kids) next to us off their dinner when my 2 year old spat his ham into my hand (he'd had enough). Oh well, cest la vie. His meal came with crisps, fruit, drink, sandwich and biscuits (which I ate). I had a cheese and onion sandwich and some chunky chips. And they weren't kidding when they said chunky - I could have used them as a weapon. They came with a miniature pot of garlic mayo which was yummy, just not enough of it. And this was all polished off with a bottle of water, juice and large slab of victoria sponge cake for £15, which I think is quite reasonable for a garden centre. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which I think is a good indication of a place if the staff are cheerful. If you are in the area or just in the garden centre, it's worth visiting for a light lunch. read more

I booked a table for Myself and 8 friends, unfortunately one was unable to attend. The table was laid beautifully with floral decoration. We were served by Karis who came & took our orders saving us queuing individually to place our orders. Every meal was beautifully presented and tasted scrumptious! The cost for 8 of us including coffee's was just over £74...good value for a Garden Centre of this caliber. The Restaurant is spacious & nicely decorated & the staff are friendly and helpful . Thank you Karis for looking after us so well. We all enjoyed our visit and will be back. read more
