The Garden Kitchen

I think the food here is pretty good as is the place but unfortunately the waiters look as though they don’t actually want to be there! Each time we wanted attention we had to summon one of them . No one ever voluntarily came to wait on us . They look as though they should be in the gardens in scruffy fleeces rather than smart waiting attire. No enthusiasm for the job at all!!! However when we did manage to order the food arrived quickly and was very good . Poor management of waiting on staff to blame .

Great setting, bright and airy. The food was lovely, I had a falafel wrap, salad and chips, really tasty, definitely recommend. My partner had the baked potato which was also good. You could tell that a lot of thought had gone into the menu which was very varied and lots of vegetarian options. Staff were very pleasant. Very reasonably priced food too!

I ordered the Sunday Lunch roast beef. It was all served piping hot, possibly microwaved prior to service. The veg and roast potatoes were good although the broccoli was overcooked and had disintegrated. The Yorkshire pudding was soggy and lacked any crispness. The beef was well done and firm, it lacked flavour and any succulence Overall 6 10 reasonably priced and edible. around £12 50 service was good

We had a lovely lunch on Saturday. The service was excellent and the food freshly cooked. Attention to detail and presentation wonderful. We visit regularly and have never been disappointed. We will return again soon.

Today, four of us enjoyed a fantastic Christmas lunch at Ness Gardens Cafe. We started with creamy roast chestnut soup topped with crispy red onions and ham hock terrine on a watercress salad with piccalilli. For the main course, we all had the traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings. Dessert options included Irish cream Tiramisu and traditional Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. Coffee and mince pies were included to finish off the meal. The food was beautifully cooked and presented, and the staff were welcoming and attentive. The service was efficient, and we felt that the meal was great value for money. The venue offers free parking and good disabled facilities. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience.
