We go to this useful cafe quite often with an elderly relative. We enjoy the food and the staff are pleasant. It is a bit complicated queuing for food at various points but never a problem as one of us queues and the the other gets the elderly relative seated. Plenty of space for her walker near the table, which is a plus. One problem and I did contact Millbrooks Garden Centre about this in January but did not receive any reply in order for a 90+ year old, or a disabled person, or someone less able in some way to get to the Cafe they are forced to navigate a sort of maze of wooden tables where lovely plants are for sale there is no short cut from the back door of the garden centre to the caf...
This review was originally (and mistakenly posted against the old Green Cafe account. On 1 September we booked out the function room at the Mill cafe for my son's Naming Day. In the run up to the event, Caron was an absolute star. Nothing was too much trouble and she made a lot of helpful suggestions to ensure the space was used to it's full potential. The space itself is great light and airy and would be excellent for any kind of event. We had 40 guests and there was ample room for them to sit down and enjoy an afternoon tea once the official bit was over with. On the day itself, I cannot praise Caron and her team enough for their help and professionalism and everything went incredibly smoo...
A friend and I booked to have Christmas Afternoon Tea here after previously having an excellent lunch. We were not disappointed. The service was friendly, attentive but not overbearing. Our table was laid out beautifully including a green bottle of elderflower presse which was included in out Tea, we were also told we could take it home if we didn’t want or finish it. We both had coffee and when I went up and paid for another later on Caron, our waitress, apologised for not replenishing our drinks and promptly gave me a refund and then brought the coffee to our table! The tea itself was delicious and very generous in size, when Caron noticed we were struggling she promptly brought us take aw...
My main issue is the tea and it lost a mark simply because the previous place in the garden centre main room itself use to serve tea in better teapots and supply better cups. I tend to go for the self service mugs now as a result of the fact that I do not like the teapots !!!!!! Harsh but its just my opinion. Its not cheap but on the other hand its not expensive either. This new restaurant has a lot more room and the toilets are far superior to the individual one that use to serve everybody !!!! It is a great deal more comfortable and I cannot stress this enough; although if it is raining you have to go outside to access it once entering Millbrooks. However there are Umbrellas. There are var...

We visit the cafe often as it makes a very good meeting place with of course the bonus of nice cake and fabulous plants. Today was not a good day to go as they are having some work on the buliding.My goodness was it noisy! They were working on the roof right above our heads made it almost impossible to hear ourselves talk. Anyway we did call the manager over who we have to say was very opologetic after listerning to our moaning he offered us a complimentary drink which we accepted .Julie who served us again said how sorry she was which was a lovely way for them to address our complaint . Will go again but may wait until the work is completed.
We have always enjoyed the nice cafe and although there have been past hicups we still go back.Obvouisly thing have had to change due to Covid 19. i cant work out why we can no longer have a pot of tea. The reason given was to cut down on extra handling which I kind of get but in that case why cant the tea pots be placed where the self service mugs are and we can make our own. Seems simple to me. Also find it frustrating that its card only. When did cash not be legal tender! Maybe someone forgot to tell me!
A group of six of us were in the garden centre planning a proposed landscaping job for the family. One of the group said the cafe made great cake so we stopped shopping and had a light snack. There was a good range of cakes, sandwiches, scones and biscuits. We noted there was breakfast available (this was 11:00am), the pot of tea and various coffees were also of good quality. We were pleasantly surprised at the range and quality for a garden centre.
I went to The Mill for Christmas afternoon tea with my elderly mother and a friend. The afternoon tea was excellent and catered well for two vegetarians and one meat eater. Our waitress Caron was very friendly and helpful. My mother, who has had afternoon tea at the Ritz before, said that the food at The Mill was even better. We all agreed that the mincepie scone was the best scone we had ever tasted. We will definitely be returning.

Yesterday I had the most loveliest afternoon tea with my friendThe service from the moment we were greeted to Caron who was our wonderful lady who attended to our every need made our time at the Mill such a wonderful experience.The food itself was scrumptious, but way too much for us but even take away boxes were provided!! We will definitely be booking next year ,thank you to Caron and all the staff we met.
Visited Millbrook garden centre today and feel totally robbed on arrival cakes in the open food fridge uncovered with a fly sat on one.staff seem very run down and unenthusiastic food was poor and very over priced.how do the old folk in the area afford these prices will not be returning.
