Simpson's Nurseries Coffee Shop

Had I read the reviews going back to 2023 for this place we most definitely would not have visited for lunch. We visited on 26th March 2024. I had ham , egg and chips with salad and my wife had the Caesar salad. These were followed by an apple pie and a lemon meringue. All were very good and we were served by pleasant and helpful staff. We didn't have to wait too long, considering they were very busy and it is obviously popular. We would happily return if we are in that area again. It is also an excellent garden centre with, mostly, very good quality plants. I am a keen gardener, once worked at a garden centre and recognise good quality when I see it.

We used to love Simpsons but we found today it has gone downhill. Staff in coffee shop ok but food was not as good as it was, had something floating in my tea so had to ask for a new cup and also door to tent area left open and was a massive draft so again had to ask the staff to close the door! The nursery was not much better, staff not helpful at all, can't be bothered, I'm afraid I won't be returning, time to find a new nursery to get good food and plants

there was lots of staff standing around doing nothing (chatting to each other). Once we placed our order there was a very long wait for food. We ordered cheese sandwiches so no cooking time required. It wasn’t busy when we were there. The crockery was dirty and had to be replaced. Again you had t9 wait ages to get staff members attention, they were too busy doing nothing except chatting with each other. Shame really as food is usually good.

Went for birthday breakfast. Staff were excellent and very helpful. There was plenty of food which was well presented and very hot. A great experience. A big thank you to all concerned. Helped to make my birthday a great day.

Very attentive and quick service. Ordered a regular americano, it was more like a weak filter coffee. I came mostly for the amazing selection of plants on offer at competitive prices, so overall well worth a visit.
