Green Fingers Cafe - Piatti

We visit this cafe and garden centre on a regular basis after walking on the forest. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Coffee and cakes are delicious. Dogs are mad welcome with complimentary dog biscuits and plenty of water bowls. It’s especially lovely in...the summer to sit on the deck or in the courtyard.

Called in today on way home from Brighton. £5.95 for Toasties I thought to myself these must be good at this price. Standard toastie plan white sliced bread a wafer thin tomato and piece of cucumber on top of a piece of lettuce that was...smaller than them. The coffee was a small cup overpriced. The only saving grace was the fruit strudel with cream at £4.95. Total bill was £25.10! Would I go back not on your nelly at these prices. The toilets were to their credit spotless.

This place is pretty tragic. Dirty tables, slow service, staff that didn't look well managed. We ordered 2 drinks, it took about 20 minutes too arrive. No friendliness from the older lady taking the order, a hello would of been nice and nothing from the...waitress delivering. Another customer stormed out as he was completely ignored. I gave an extra mark as some of the hot food look quite nice. The cakes are way overpriced though £4 for a slice of fruit cake? Avoid at all costs. Visualizza piatti

It is a lovely spot for a breakfast as it is part of a lovely garden centre. The big breakfast, veggie breakfast and eggs benedict were utterly delicious and staff were helpful and friendly. I would possibly suggest increasing the portion to two sausages on...the big breakfast. We also ordered sides of hash browns as these were not included. An added bonus was their outdoor seating so we could take our dog. Would definitely recommend for breakfasts and look forward to returning.

I can’t say enough to recommend this cafe. We were lucky as not too many people when we ate here. I should imagine when full it is a little difficult to move around as tables packed in. However the service is really good. Nice and...friendly. The food-home cooked was really tasty. My husband had the cheese board (decent size cheese wedges) and I had quiche Lorraine and salad. Will definitely eat here again and had the added advantage of being an independent garden centre with really reasonably priced plants.

This cafe reuse milk left on the side in other peoples drinks from the days leftovers and milk bottles are visible on the side and do not seem to be refrigerated throughout the day in between use , no hairnets and only one chopping board...visible. Overall, the owner was not very accepting or accommodating of people with learning difficulties or mental illness. Would not recommend the cafe, the food is poorly prepared and overpriced for the disappointing meals presented. When I visited, the bathroom appeared unclean and cats and a dog seemed to roam behind the counter of the cafe which is an issue for me as my daughter has a cat fur allergy so sitting inside the cafe was not a viable option...

A lovely little cafe situated in a garden centre on Ashdown Forest. Having gazed at delicious looking cakes and scones on the counter, our light lunch arrived after a 45 mins wait, by this time very hungry. The large jacket potato was far from large...and had been microwaved so no crispy skin and just cooked. The so call roasted vege as a filling, dare I say had not been roasted and tasteless. Plus a few slices of goats cheese. A small inadequate , poorly presented meal for the price. Instead of a lovely big chunk of fresh crispy bread on the ploughman’s, there was one of those small repacked frozen baguettes meant for the oven. Ours and all the others in the restaurant looked a pale insipid...

We visit every couple of months, and have done for years. Sadly, the last few visits have been a bit disappointing. The cakes and desserts are still excellent, large portions, lots of choice and delicious but the savoury food has really gone down hill. We...visited today and were really disappointed with our lunch. My husband ordered a BLT baguette which was a bit of lettuce and tomato in a baguette with the bacon placed over the top. It looked odd and like they couldn't be bothered to make it properly. He said it tasted okay but not that great. I had quiche which had a nice flavour but the pastry was so soggy it was as if it hadn't been cooked properly in the first place (this happened last...

I had written the glowing review below on Friday and decided to revisit on Sunday. I’ve now marked down from a 5/5 review due to the poor experience on Sunday: I went to the counter and began to place my order, starting with Welsh rarebit...for my co-eater. The older (usually quite flustered) lady taking my order turned round and looked at the clock over her shoulder, which read 2:40pm. She then looked back at me with a pained expression on her face, as if expecting me to interpret her meaning. I enquired if it was too late for hot food (it can only take a few minutes to grill a few slices of cheese on a piece of bread to which she replied, “it is getting on a bit, yes”. There was no note th... Visualizza piatti
