Unless you have a compelling reason to visit the beautiful gardens of the Scampston Estate, just a mile or two east of Malton off the A64, forget rounding off the experience with lunch or a snack at the Café. The Café itself doesn 't disappoint, but the quality of the food offer and value for money are simply out of touch with reality. On this occasion, we were told that there were staff shortages and so a limited menu was in place; they had ample opportunity to put alternative measures in place but still couldn 't meet the demands of properly servicing the establishment on the Sunday over the bank holiday, the last in May, and potentially one of the busiest long spring weekends before half-...
The gardens are so lovely but the cafe is rubbish if you 've got kids and you want more than cake. The kids lunch bag included a babybel, pombears and some raisin which is all OK but the sandwich was ridiculous a big floury roll with really thick hand cut ham in it. There is absolutely no way my 2 year old would eat that and when I requested sliced bread instead they said they didn 't have any. I question how many children would be happy to eat very thick cut ham in a floury bun. Would have been nice to have a piece of fruit in there too. My 'panini ' was a very dry toasted ciabatta roll with a lot of cheese, a few whole sundried tomatoes and a few basil leaves I don 't often leave lunch in...
Visited for a family reunion meal and was really impressed by everything. Friendly, professional staff. Exceptionally clean toilet facilities. Ordered a prawn sandwich and a beer. Was informed that the beer is locally brewed and was great value for money at only £4.95. The sandwich was served on a soft granary roll and was amazing. The price was £8.95, which was great value for such a large portion size. Shame it is not closer to home or I would be definitely become a regular. Beautiful setting and a lovely relaxing afternoon.
The place is just lovely! The space is bright, airy and clean. The food is cooked/made fresh and tastes fantastic. There is a good range available too. The coffee and drink range is brilliant too. But what made our visit so good was the wonderful, friendly staff. Nothing was too much for any of them (we had a large group so kept them very busy). They were helpful and just made our visit extra special. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend to everyone to visit.

The orange passionfruit cake was possibly the best I have ever had, my friend I have coffee cake every week, we both agree that this is the best we’ve had Aside from the food the staff were lovely, and the nappy change/disabled loo was a joy! Emergency supplies of nappies to Tena pads so……. Considerate
We called in for our morning coffee break before looking around the garden. The scones we had were good, as were the drinks. It was probably the most we'd paid for a coffee break. It is classy, service is good I suppose that's what you're paying those prices for.
We had a wonderful lunch at this restaurant. We enjoyed the Gardener's Platter which included cheese, ham, pork pie, sausage roll, apple and tomato slices, along with relishes and a side of sliced ciabatta. Everything was very fresh and tasty.
We were very happy to discover this restaurant just 18 miles away from where we had never been before. The Garden Cafe was delightful, and we were very impressed by the walled garden. We are now heading off for a walk around the lake.

would have liked to have had experience of dinning there but unfortunately not much on offer for gluten free so ended up with a pot of tea and a brownie, standard fair for anyone G.F.
The cream tea was incredibly tasty. The fruit scone was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a delightful visit. Thank you.
