The middle-aged waitress said "Its there" pointing to a drinks menu attached to the coffee machine. I had to explain to them it was a drinks menu, she didn't listen and after twice of telling her she told me" Menus are on table" Yet again it was only drinks menus. We then walked out and went and spent £50 in Cafe Ambio at Haverthwaite which was very good. We will not return to this cafe probably go a bit further to Greenlands which is much more organised and always recommend to people.

It's not like your normal garden centre where they just point you in the general direction, Palmers know their stuff and will educate you too if necessary. Great place to go for a walk too - like a tropical wonderland in places. Video link: http://www.youtube.com/v/crwN1bkjOzY

They have a good variety of tools and seeds, a wide range of pots of different quality and the usual assortment of garden ornaments. I was sorely tempted by the water-features, until I looked at the price labels! The cafe is quite spacious and has a terrace of about half the size again. The only problem is that I think £1.45 for a pot of tea or £2.25 for a capaccino is expensive. I did have a wonderful Ice-cream Sundae with 3 flavours chosen from 14(see photo)for £.3.50.
