The Beth Chatto Tearoom

After a lovely walk round the beautiful gardens, a snack or luncheon is really good here. Becoming a member or friend of the gardens is also beneficial .. You get discounts on plants and are able to take a guest for free. Good value all round.

As always the service here is friendly and fast, we had cheese and apple pickle sandwiches, really good and the slaw served with it the best I have had, no soggy mayonnaise and lumps of cabbage here, the coffee was excellent, the tearoom warm and welcoming, well worth visiting if you are not a gardener.

The best afternoon tea I've EVER had!! Wonderful selection of sandwiches and the scones were light and fluffy and warm. Beautifully presented by attentive staff who were friendly and knowelagble about the gardens. One of our party is vegan and she was served with a separate tray with vegan sandwiches cakes and gluten free scones. Speisekarte ansehen

Wonderful 'Afternoon Tea ' at Beth Chatto tea room which included warm sausage rolls n mini quiche n savoury sandwiches. Great selection of delicious homemade cakes n cream tea. As many hot drinks as required. Staff attention was so friendly n excellent. An absolute 'must ' to enjoy all the above plus the beautiful outlook over the dry garden. Visit the gardens n plant nursery n unique shop.

As a follow on from viewing the gardens we chose to have lunch in tbe café as neither of us fancied a picnic in the car park as picnics are not allowed in the gardens.We felt the menu was overpriced. We chose a quiche and a meat platter (minus the pickled onion? . We were not overwhelmed by the presentation, quantity or taste of the food. As we did not know the area we felt like a captive audience when it came to the food and drink.

This is a lovely café for general refreshments but was most impressed with the Beth Chatto Lunch Platter which comes with sausage roll and gammon ham there is an alternative vegetarian option. Like a ploughman 's but more sophisticated. The warm bread was definitely out of the ordinary and the sausage roll home made and generously filled with sausage meat. Nice chunk of cheese with homemade pickles and salad leaves with cherry tomatoes and garlic pesto. A very generous lunch. Speisekarte ansehen

I included this in my review of the Gardens, but just to be clear, this is a super place to visit even if you only want lunch or afternoon tea and don't want to go round the gardens as well. The food is delicious, and home made. You can get a full breakfast or lunch or just a cup of tea and cake. A good and wide choice. There is outside seating, some under cover, as well as inside. Even after they had had 2 coach parties in, there was still plenty of choice of food left late afternoon. Their sausage rolls are spectacular, my husband loved his! A lovely tearoom in a beautiful setting. Also accessible, without going round the gardens, the nursery and the shop.

At mid-day the choice of sandwiches on offer was very poor, no ham, cheese etcOnly left with Tuna. Handed a sandwich in a cardboard box which remined me of a Motorway service station.I was expecting a sandwich freshly made on site and not in some outsouced factory.There was no label on the packaging to show it was a Beth Chatto product.On opening there was so much Tuna inside it was oozing out of all sides.When I took my first mouthfull it dripped onto the table, getting a plate would have been to much to ask, It was absolutely Disgusting and Nauseating I was so hungry I removed the filling and just ate the breadI seem to recall the menu mention side Crips but they didnt materialiseThe queue...

After a lovely walk around the grounds myself and my mum went into the tea rooms the restaurant was fully booked because it was Mother’s Day eve, which we fully anticipated . As this was our first visit we had not booked so we went to the tea room side and queued up . There were 6 people in front of us and it took 20 mins before were served . The tea rooms are a very delightful setting and my mother went outside to get us a table . I gave our order . 2x chicken salad with mango and avacado . No avacado left, fair enough . More than happy without it . Now the chicken was delicious I can’t lie and it worked well with the 2 small slices of mango. However it was just all on a bed of rocket with... Speisekarte ansehen
