Went on Sunday 23 August. No signage from car park so tried side door first and looked like fool. Good checks at entrance although doorman needs to be sensitive to the needs of people with autism. Eating area could be better ventilated - clear screens that could have been opened up. Didn't have plantain when I chose vegan ackee & calaloo with plantain rice so had vegan tart instead. Lovely staff and nice environment but need to get the basics right.

Avoid if you like your bowels. The place is great if you just don’t eat, how dare the server to not even make eye contact but after we ate we knew why he made no eye contact. Shame on you and shame on me for sticking around.

One of the best place visited in the Uk. Definitely best Garden center :) as you come in, it feels you have travelled to Africa thousands of miles in just a minute. Great experience, interesting and different taste of food compared to the usual stuff..

A lovely place to visit ,the lady at the entrance was so friendly and welcoming and very thorough with making sure that you had masks on ,sanitised your hands and used the gloves provided to handle the goods ,she even took our temperatures which is the only place we have been ever since lockdown eased to do all this ,I think that they are setting a good example and everywhere should follow in this good covid19 prevention As for the place itself although it was extremely difficult to get around on my mobility scooter due to the pebbles (we will try the manual wheelchair nxt time we visit to see how that goes) it was amazing,the kids loved finding all the different metal animal sculptures and there was even a beautiful waterfall which is a treat to the eyes ,they have all sorts of plants and shrubs at reasonable prices ,and its lovely to look at all the tropical plants that you typically dont find in a usual garden centre ,we didnt visit the cafe/bar or the restaurant this time but it was quite full so must be good,we will have to try it nxt time we visit ,however we visited the gift shop that is filled with lots of fair trade African gifts at very fair prices , so much to see and do at this venue you could spend the whole day here and enjoy every minute ,on our way out the lovely lady who originally checked us on our way in asked us how our visit was which I think was good This place Is definitely worth a visit and is suitable for young and old alike , Give it a try and you will love this hidden gem
