Our afternoon tea is a firm favourite with no need to book.just turn up, order your sandwich choices then sit back and relax and enjoy.
You will find our takeaway deli counter tucked away in the corner of our main shop and it showcases a range of locally sourced food and drinks available to eat on site or take home. We currently stock homemade pies, quiches, cakes and tray bakes range.

We arrived at 3.10pm to be told that 3pm was the latest to use the playroom. However, we were allowed in for the 50 mins until closing at 4pm. Although we paid full price £16 for 2 adults and 2 children staff came in at 3.20 to tidy the playroom. In the circumstances £16 seems a bit steep

Visit with Santa making an 81 years old lady dream come true. I cannot thank Lanchester garden centre and Santa of course, enough for the kindness they showed when this lovely lady who truly believes in Santa and who had never had a visit with him ever before, made her wish come true.
Not only did they make her feel special on the day, they gave her two beautiful gifts that she will treasure for the rest of her days.
It was an emotional day for all concerned but truly a day she will never forget. Thank you.

First time visiting! Excellent! Very friendly staff, both in the gift shop and restaurant.
The gift shop had a great range of products, including seasonal products.
Lunch was superb. We had the Greenhouse Burger and fries and the pie, chips, with mushy peas. Both meals were of the highest quality with local ingredients and tasted home made. For dessert, we opted for a slice of raspberry ripple cake and a slice of sticky toffee cake! Huge, but very delicious and naughty!
We had a great trip out and well worth the drive though beautiful countryside. Looking forward to returning soon.

Not just a place to buy some plants, the choice is far and wide:
A huge selection of varied stock from cards to Garden Seating offered with Pride.
The view is certainly Beautiful on a fine and Sunny Day,
With a comfortable Restaurant to satisfy hunger or while some time away.
All Staff are more than helpful, off-times, rushed off their feet;
We have visited over many years and applaud there Expansion Feat!
