Reviews of Secret Herb Garden Cafe & Bistro
"Excellent food. Great place to pop in for lunch with friends and family, especially if they like gardening."
"I loved the venue, really beautiful and tranquil-seeming spot with plants everywhere and grapes hanging from the roof. Service was a bit slow, we waited about 20 minutes for our coffee and cake to arrive. There were four servers and, given the total number of tables and floor area, they should have been more than enough to serve the basics faster. Food was underwhelming, the cakes were quite dry and tasteless, my caramel/toffee honey cake and my husband's spicy (not) carrot cake both tasted identically like plain vanilla sponge. The cake portions were also very small for the price. My bacon and brie sandwich was good, but not £10 good and quite small, and I ended up sharing it with my husband anyway because his bread platter was simply shocking; six small slices of 3 different breads (neither fresh nor flavourful) with a small container of green oil, not even a pat of butter, salad garnish, or any other spreads. I have never seen such a poor plate for £5 pounds. As a final comment, a child at the table next to us had fun stomping his bread sticks into powder on the ground and the mess, although brought to the server's attention, just remained there without being cleaned up, even after the table had left. By that time the restaurant was at about 50% capacity, so not very busy."
"This is now my favourite cafe. I hadn't been in for years and finally went back α couple weeks ago. The cafe is in the greenhouse so you are surrounded by plants which is lovely. There are also little tables hidden throughout the greenhouse which is α great idea. My mum and I just ordered coffees and scones and both were fantastic. Our server had great customer service skills; we came in with my baby and he was chatting away to us and my daughter. It made us feel very welcome. After coffees we went for α walk around the grounds and bought some herbs. They also have distillery tours and tasting so I will try that next time"
"Update: They have updated their catering team and seems like the quality has gone down a bit. We miss the old delicious focaccia bread and the beautiful presentation of food with flowers. They have put cushions on the chairs which is great. I'm dropping to 3 stars because the service this time was so slow, we waited 1 hour for the coffee to arrive and another 20 minutes for the food. This place has amazing potential and the food was tasty but needs improvement. This is a really cute authentic garden cafe with delicious selection of treats. The cafe is inside a greenhouse which can get quite warm if it's sunny but they also have seating outside. The food is really good with all ingredients locally sourced from the surrounding garden. You have sweet treats like a chocolate fudge cake as well as trout sandwich. The staff are kind and friendly. We're giving 4 stars because the wooden seats were uncomfortable, perhaps they could add a cushion on them. Overall, a great cafe to complement the herb garden and I would recommend you stop by for a snack!"
"Today is my first visit to the Fhior Garden Cafe. The cafe is inside a glasshouse which gets very warm when it's sunny. The staff is very friendly. I ordered the vegan foccacia sandwich and enjoyed it. The Isle of Wight tomato is sweet and juicy. The garden leaves are fresh and flavourful. The black garlic puree inside the sandwich tastes nice and is not spicy. I also ordered a peppermint tea which is flavourful. The herb is from the garden."
