Forest View Nursery

Like previous reviewers we live locally and having heard good things from friends, decided to walk up the road on a sunny Sunday afternoon at 3.15pm to see what all the fuss was about...it’s a good job we didn’t leave it any later as last orders in the cafe are 3.30pm on a Sunday (3.00 if you want a cooked meal/sandwich), which I instantly found a bit off for a weekend when surely that’s when you’d expect to get most of your trade?! Anywho, two cakes and two coffees ordered for just under £10. Cakes ok but a little dry; presumably bought in. Coffee just your average fair. I found the setting and experience uninspiring and can’t say we will bother to go back.

On visiting your cafe today me and my friends got greeted nicely and seated we bumped into a another friend of ours who had a baby, we also had a baby so that made 5 and 2 babies we were stood apart whilst just saying hello and wishing her baby a happy birthday to be shouted at by a member of staff who was wearing no face protection or anything your breaking the rule of six it 's against the law please leave We have been coming to the cafe for over 1yr and have never been spoken to so rudely! This was not necessary as a polite request would not have sufficed. We will not be returning

We originally visited looking for plants to fill a recently weeded flower bed. Decided to have lunch here and so glad we did. Lovely selection of sandwiches and panninis as well as salads, jacket potatoes and a childrens menu. Very reasonably priced and freshly made. Good selection of cakes too. Garden centre is just that with a wide range of plants great to see it was not selling all the household, clothes and shoes! Well worth a visit for both food and plants.

Went here for birthday lunch with my mum and daughter. All food freshly prepared and well presented. Can recommend the cheese or meat platters, with lovely warm artisan bread. Lovely friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Amazing range of plants to walk around and look at before you leave. Reserva una mesa ahora

This must be the only place on the Isle of Wight who charges an extra 20p for extra hot water for your pot of tea! Very rude person in charge made a big scene when this was queried by a customer. Food is quite good, but after witnessing their customer service, I won’t be going there again.

Had lunch here very good quality ham, eggs and chips cooked to order. My daughter had a sandwich. Very quick service, good food and lovely cakes. Reasonably priced as well. Only one small gripe I had to pay extra for decaff coffee 25p.

Great resource for the trade. Quality plant material at great prices. Terry and the crew have really expanded the operation and it’s truly a one stop shop for you tree and shrub needs.

Cake dry and flavourless. I'm guessing not fresh ever day. Coffee not good either. I don't think there is a lot of knowledge in the place on food and equipment procedures. Reserva una mesa ahora

Used to be a lovely garden centre, now they are focusing on the cafe which is nothing special. Sadly Will not be returning to the garden centre and cafe.
