Ambleside Bistro and Garden Centre in Solihull

Lovely cafe. Food always nice and reasonably priced. The older waitress has a funny attitude. Always nice to be asked how our food is, but after the 5th time it gets a bit annoying. When asked if we were ready to order, we apologised and said ‘no sorry’ as we had been chatting. ‘ok’ she said, sounding almost annoyed that we were not ready to order.

Lovely food as always and very friendly staff. Got a bit confused by twins serving us 🤣🤣

Very good cafe. Can highly recommend. Good menu, hygiene and friendly, helpful waitress service. Lovely homemade cake selection. Prices a little expensive but nice ambience, and worth it. A relaxing experience.

Popped in for a coffee, was seated and after 10 minutes they still had not comw to take our order, dispite attending the tables right by us.They was not overly busy only about 8-10 tables in there, when we left and told them why, we got a shurg an half heart "sorry"Would not go again!

Had the plants we were looking for. Smaller than your average garden centre but still plenty of stockWas advised throughout the visit by a lovely gentleman who worked there. Very knowledgeable and friendlyWill no doubt use again !

Popped in on a Tuesday after checking out the reviews of another garden centre restaurant nearby and giving them a swerve.I'm glad we did, because it was spot on. Clean, tidy with a nice feel to it.The staff were all friendly and attentive and the food and drinks complemented them. It's not an area we are in often but i will make a point of coming back next time we are. Well done to everyone involved.Oh and I got a bargain from the Garden centre too. :)

Very good food and coffee. Only negative, you can't pay at the till due to "health and safety ". I was "told off" for not remaining seated. As I was in a hurry to get to an appointment and was in a party of six, I wished to pay my portion. Staff were extremely busy so knowing the amount I owed I offered my payment at the till. I was told in no uncertain terms that I should have remained seated. Despite this I would definitely revisit.

This may be a small garden centre but has lots of variation of pots to plants to compost I would recommend a visit.

Visited on a Saturday, not too busy, loads of plants, shrubs to look at, ornaments for the garden, and a lovely coffee shop too. Would recommend and will return.

Very welcoming staff in store that are always ready to help. Also there are a verity of plants on offer at a great price. Best local garden center.
