A well stocked garden centre with a fantastic selection of quality plants, shrubs, and trees, all at very reasonable prices. We spoke with several members of staff during our visit, and each one was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Great customer service all round. We also took advantage of a 25% discount at the till by simply registering for a free loyalty card . The large hanging baskets and heavy duty brackets we bought have now been installed and look brilliant. We'll definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

My self and sister popped into Thirsk garden centre.we headed to the cafe.i ordered the quiche Lorraine meal £8.95 latte £3.85. x hot, my sister the coronation chicken salad £8.95 peppermint tea £3.10. Great service, plenty of seating. You pay at the counter, pick up your drinks and meals delivered to the table. Only a very short wait for the meals. Nice and hot , latte X hot. Good size portion. I felt good value for money. Place has great seating much better than a normal cafe. My sister the gardener felt plants weren't cheap in the garden centre. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the café, next time out on my motorcycle I will call again. Definitely on my list. If out this way ,you should call in.

Coffee not hot just warm Food after a certain time it's just taken out of the chiller very cold, no salad or warming food etc. We were informed of no side food but charged the same. Not warmed ... Microwave 1 min would be nice. Salmon quiche far too salt and party unable to eat. Over all staff felt like that they were doing us a favour not friendly. To busy chatting to serve. This is not the first time we have visited, But we thought it was a one-off poor service. But not, disappointing visit and the cost ££.
