Gardeners Rest Tearooms in Blaby

Lovely tea room.. fantastic wide range of food and drinks available and very good quality, with lovely customer service. They even had a doggy tea room, where you can sit with your dog and both eat.Only suggestion, the plastic chairs are not comfortable to sit on.Garden center, had a good range and a few surprises (e.g. euphorbia at £7 🙂).But, a bit to be desired.

Visited here last week, got some lovely plants/roses. Prices were fair, and good selection to choose from. Great little cafe, with separate sitting area if you have a dog, which is a nice touch to cater for everyone. Also a small little play area outside.

Visited for the first time after hearing good things. Couldn't fault it. Lovely eating area. Lovely pot of tea, fantastic warm cheese scones, the milkshakes were really lovely too and made with fresh fruit. We will definitely be back 😃

Had a fantastically repaired afternoon tea for my sister's birthday here and it was brilliant! They catered really well for vegetarians and a fussy eater in our group. The garden centre had a lot of lovely and interesting plants though they seemed a little on the expensive side.

Plants are really healthy and good value for money. The inside is a bit cramped to get round(my wife is on a mobility scooter) but there is a good variety of non-plant items to browse. The restaurant was quite full and we had to wait a disappointing 40 minutes for our food to arrive by which time we had drunk our drinks to stop them going cold and we like to have a drink with our food.That said the food was excellent, served fresh we had a blue burger, which I am still full from, which was unctuous and delicious, a brie and cranberry toastie with a generous salad, which was oozing with content and thoroughly enjoyed, a cheese burger which again was big and hot and flavoursome according to our grandson who is a burger expert and a cheese and ham sandwich on white with another generous salad. I'm told the ham and cheese were delicious and the salad dressing really good.Had we had room for dessert there were some delicious cakes going out around us huge portions and many a box being called for to take home at least half of it. There are also a selection of hot puddings. Was it worth the wait, I would say so but still only a 4 as I think the waiting time could be improved.

Fantastic Cream tea that exceeded our expectations. Lovely staff, great venue, beautiful decor and presentation and tasty food. What more could you want? Well there is also the gift shop, and a fab garden centre. Perfect. Thank you.

This Garden Centre is a hidden gem. I paid my first visit yesterday, and will undoubtedly return for future visits. The prices of the plants are extremely reasonable, with a vast amount of choice. The garden centre is set within beautiful countryside; and boasts a popular tea room & well stocked gift shop. One star was lost, as the garden centre itself is somewhat in disarray, presumably due to renovations; however this will not deter me from returning.

Great place, their cakes are amazing and you get a generous slice. I had breakfast with a friend and it was delicious, well cooked and good value. Although it got very busy we never felt rushed.

I've visited the tea rooms on several occasions for breakfast and will continue to do so in the future. However, the breakfasts always arrive on cold plates. Often by the time the breakfasts have arrived at the table they're cold.The presentation and the taste are spot on and the staff are fantastic but please warm the plates as a cold brekkie can ruin the experience.Sorry for moaning.

Can't fault it here. We go for the tearoom tbf not the garden centre. Good prices on food and friendly staff. Great milkshakes and cakes!
