Hatties Restaurant in Leeds

Breakfast only gets more average here... generic mass-market sausages, budget supermarket sliced bread, slivers of mushroom and curiously, if you want a protein-rich start to the day, even on the 'large' breakfast you only get one fried egg while the 'scrambled' version is clearly considerably more than that. Price-wise we're hovering in a bracket where, give or take a quid or two, you can reasonably expect a pretty excellent breakfast in a venue that doesn't make it's money on garden furniture and all things green and leafy. Hawthorne Farm, for example, offer the same level of 'generic' foodstuffs but at a lower price in 'buffet' quantities. Moss&Moor in Ilkley have a higher price point but some seriously tasty tucker. The Caring For Life Farm has a very worthwhile breakfast offering, as does the little roadside cafe just outside Pool in Wharfedale on the road to Harrogate. Lots of opportunity to really up the game a notch, but leaves the sense that as long as the regulars are satisfied, it's job done. And I could understand that... if the price was low enough to anticipate averageness.

Nice food and coffee, good staff

Went for breakfast, lovely food but wish we could order item individually.Great place.

Traditional fare set in a garden centre be it a full meal or a light bite it is excellent very busy at times

Generally not too bad, only slight niggle food not really hot,unless you order something that as to be cooked to order.

Nice place really clean lovely food great staff really friendly

Lovely restaurant inside Stephen Smiths garden centre . Always made to feel welcome and has a self service counter . Plenty of room for a wheelchair and help is/was available by the staff if needed .I noticed that there is a decent variety of hot and cold food . The restaurant is well frequented by the older members of thecommunityI would definitely recommend a visit !

Simple buffet style cafe/restaurant. Very expensive for what it is - £8.60 for a microwaved jacket potato with two toppings.

Today my daughter took my mum (recently widowed) out for dinner, with our two year old granddaughter., to the restaurant. Mum's first visit without dad. The ladies chose their preferred food and beverages, and my daughter also bought chips (something the waitress questioned fit for her little), and drink for our grand daughter. Waiting for the food our granddaughter became fractious - so, my daughter took a packet of Skips from her bag, and gave her a couple. Within seconds the afore mentioned waitress marched over to demand the money for the packet of Skips that she said my daughter had not paid for, so my daughter explained. To which the waitress replied that food could not be brought onto the premises, and eaten in the restaurant. If my daughter had intended to bring her own food into the restaurant to eat she would hardly have paid for food and a drink! On putting the Skips away my grand daughter was then in tears... which in turn upset my mum, and the whole experience for mum who is finding issues with her confidence a complete disaster. The waitresses attitude was not only accusing but also hostile, belittling my daughter in front of other diners. We have frequently dined in the restaurant and have come across this particular waitress , and her judgemental attitude before - but, safe to say we will not be back.

Very disappointing especially after their refurb. Very expensive for the quality. Sunday lunch looked like waht you expect from a cheap carvery in a pub but twice as expensive even down to the large pan of coagulated gravy. We had a dishwater coffee with UHT milk, a slice of cake, a tea and a scone and it cost £10. The scone and the cake were so dry and tasteless they stuck to our teeth. Not up to the standard of the otherwise excellent garden centre.
