St Peters Garden Centre Reviews 

Afternoon tea was not the award winning experience we were expecting and unfortunately not worth the £50 price tag. All cakes and scones were so dry and had clearly been sitting out all day not fresh at all. We couldn’t eat the scones. We were not asked about any dietary requirements on arrival and were refused to be able to swap cold salmon sandwiches (could not eat due to pregnancy). Asking dietary requirements on arrival should be standard practice especially as these afternoon teas are often given as gifts. When the afternoon tea was brought over we were not told what any of the cakes or sandwiches were, it would have been nice to be told what we were having.

Wonderful Half term activity for the children, very well organised, value for money and great staff. Thank you!!

Defo value for money at poppy’s grandson was delighted again.

We booked onto half term activities with our two children aged 6 and 8, they both enjoyed the activities and were made to feel welcome and comfortable enough to engage with the staff there. Good value for money - the staff accommodated dietary needs when we made them aware. Would take mine again and would recommend for children aged 3-10.

Friendly staff and both my children enjoyed the activity.

Went to have coffee and cake here on Sunday at 3.15pm, only to be turned away by a young waitress there and was told they were now closed,apparently they need time to clear away really???.
Disappointing, who closes this early on a Sunday, we've been in the past and have been served later than this before.
Oh well, it will be Webbs Garden Centre then next time.

We bought our grandson to the Activities in Poppys farm in half Term.
Excellent value for money
He really enjoyed it.
Planting a tomato & painting the pot & a wind chime. Also he was given some sweets & a puzzle & colouring pad.
We looked at the Goats , pigs & chickens.
Then had ice cream & Nan & grandad had a coffee
It was lovely

We took our 2 grandchildren (aged 6 and 3 years) to the half term tomato planting and painting a windchime and pot. They both loved it. We had a good time doing the activity, then went to see the goats and pigs.
Only downside was that the paint used unfortunately did not come out of their clothes. We washed them as soon as we got home but the pink and yellow would not come out despite using stain remover and washing several times.

my daughter loved the half term activity and it was a really good price, the staff are so friendly! we visit regularly and we are always happy :)

Excellent value for money and a great half term activity for our granddaughters. The staff helping the children were all very good and the girls loved the activities, planting their own tomatoes and taking them home. Thank you. We will keep an eye out for future school holiday activities.

Took my 3yr old Grandson to the £10 Tomatoe Acivity + Windchime+ Sweets and Juice. Well worth the money in a great venue with lovely friendly staff. The animals nature trail and outdoor games were great fun too. ! Would definitely return .

We had a lovely time doing the Tomato planting with our nieces. It was fun painting their plant pots, a wind chime and clearly a hit, as they’re watering the tomato plant daily. Only criticism is the paint was a bit watery for the pot, and didn’t seem to show up.

The staff were friendly, helpful and on hand to help/answer questions from the children. Great activity for a wet afternoon in a magical teepee setting.

Loved the allotment and got inspired to look into gardening myself! Nature trail was a good addition and the garden centre was a well thought out retail experience overall. Will definitely return in the future.

A really lovely morning with the family. We booked onto the tomato plant pot activity (£10). Includes plant pot painting, tomato plant & soil (kids plant their own) wind chime decorating, sweets and a drink along with some crayons and an activity pack. My daughter really enjoyed it! Both the staff were lovely and super helpful. We went for a walk around the “trail” afterwards and thoroughly enjoyed all the free lawn games they had. Browsed the garden centre shop afterwards which was great.
Only downfall was the restaurant in the shop, it was really busy (expected for a bank holiday I guess). We sat down and waited 15minutes and nobody came to serve us… we ended up leaving and getting lunch elsewhere.

This was our first visit to the garden centre and we decided to book in for the half term activity of tomato planting for our 2yr old.
And I must say it was a great day out for all.
They were very accommodating in allowing me to change the date of my booking, the event itself was super organised and setup in a lovely teepee. Both organisers were great with our little one, got him involved in the tomato planting and he absolutely loved it.
We had a walk around the trail which was lovely as is the garden centre and cafe, could easily spend hours there!
We would definitely come back for any future events and would highly recommend it.

This was the first event organised by the Garden Centre that I have attended and it was a brilliant start. Between them Will, Stewart and Mark told us all about the history of the Garden Centre and how they raise plants for the sale. It was very interesting and they answered all the questions clearly.

The tour finished with Coffee and lovely cakes in their Yurt. A great morning.

Just a great place to visit - thank you 😊

STAFF VERY HELPFUL AND GARDEN CENTRE LOOKED VERY SMART

lovely setting, friendly staff, 30 pence extra for soy milk for the tea, I noticed on the bill. Don't normally question food outlet prices and wouldn't normally respond to such pettiness, but on principle... This is not justified. Soy milk is 50 pence per litre in the supermarket. I recieved around 50 mg, which equates to £6 per litre. Soy does not cost more than dairy milk, so why charge extra instead of exchanging like for like. I didn't receive a discount for not using dairy milk.

This is unfair and after years of coming to The Shed with family for food and drink, I think this sort of ridiculous petty penny pinching is unacceptable.

This was my first time for an afternoon tea. I appreciate that it was a bank holiday and you would be busy but 82 years ago my mother wouldn't have taken that into account. My heart sank as my husband and I were shown to our table. I may be old fashioned but for afternoon tea surely you could run to a tablecloth even a paper one and being a garden centre a tiny bunch of fresh flowers or a small pot of flowers.
As for the food where was the daintiness? I had informed the chef on booking that I was a vegetarian and disliked dressings on my sandwiches. No finger sandwiches but slices of bread cut into four two of which were covered in a pickle four more had undescribable lumps of food on them. The scones were enormous I think that a couple of small scones instead would have been more in keeping with the occasion. The pastries were acceptable. We had coffee with extra water as the only tea offered was Yorkshire tea which is far too strong in my opinion.
You asked for my review and I am sorry that it is not glowing as my husband and I enjoy morning coffee and scone on regular visits.
For this visit I would rather have given the 50 pounds to charity than waste it on such a disappointing occasion.

Attended the terrarium workshop because it was being given by Ben from Worcester Terrariums that I have followed for ages on social media. An enjoyable couple of hours making my own terrarium. Very pleased with the result. Everything provided. Included tea/coffee and scone with jam and cream although not easy to eat with a table full of plants, soil etc. was a bit worried that it might be cold as held in the yurt but it is a lovely light space with a wood fire so was warm and cosy. Would recommend this workshop and will look out for other workshops in the future.
