Delicious food in an unusual setting

The food is modern British and delicious. Wholesome and seasonal with plenty of choice. Think confit duck, watercress soup, lemon posset, prune and brandy ice cream - all traditional British in grown up portions. The staff are helpful, enthusiastic and clearly proud to be part of a winning team. The location is unusual, the South Bank of the Thames, next to Lambeth Palace and is part of the Garden Museum. It is busy so booking is required.

The food is amazing cant fault it

The food is amazing cant fault it. But here comes the down size. Ordered 2 pots of tea. The tea pot came with one tea bag. Which we both found a bit weak. So went up and asked if we could have two more. Was told no problem. But then told us it was a pound a teabag. Let's just say i nearly fell over. Most places give a free refill. Was a complete shock

After visiting The Garden Cafe for…

After visiting The Garden Cafe for breakfast on a number of occasions we decided to have my daughters 1st birthday there. It was fabulous. The staff were so helpful and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The food was beautiful and everyone commented on how lovely it all was. Thank you so much for letting us have such a wonderful time celebrating. We will be back to try lunch soon!

The garden cafe take away only

This is take away only. It is no longer a secret garden accomodating dogs. It used to be my favourite place to take my pooch. The staff were not very welcoming on this visit.
Their Web site does state only take away but several search engins still rate it as the best pooch friendy eateries in Frome.

Lovely Breakfast

New to doing reviews but think this place deserves one. Was stretched on staff and still managed to make me a lovely breakfast with a lovely cup of tea.

Wonderful cafe!

Wonderful cafe! We had a delicious lunch, staff are friendly, and whole place - including toilets - immaculate! Definitely worth a visit. (Soup highly recommended!)
