lindylou53 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Been here today for lunch - overcrowded, overpriced and far too busy. Can't see the attraction myself but it's having a new extension to the restaurant built! Each to their own I suppose but over £8 for a jacket potato is taking the <removed>! Whatever happened to austerity?! Most customers seemed to be 'poor' pensioners or yummy mummies. More and more extraneous tat - how much Christmas stuff do you need in October?! Well I won't be going again! Even the plants are a rip-off! Edited October 8, 2019 by nikki-red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wornout53 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Before my partner died we used to go at least once a month often more for a coffee and a cake or a meal in pleasant clean surroundings with lovely staff. It is what it is...it gets very busy hence the need for an extension but it is somewhere that all ages can have a pleasant hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think £8 is a bit top end for a jacket spud, £7 at Chatsworth, £5 to £7 at Cannon hall, I will let you in on a secret, we go to Bolster Moor farm shop and cafe, Huddersfield HD7 4JU. Jacket spud £4.50. Smashing place. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 A lot of things at Wentworth Garden Centre are overpriced but as long as people continue to pay the prices, they will continue to charge them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may think its overpriced but clearly many people are happy to pay this hence the need for extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Cats Hat Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Wentworth Garden Centre spent a few million quid about five years ago to remodel itself as a ‘day out’ rather than as simply a traditional garden centre. It was money well spent judging by the amount of people who go there. Plants are a bit dear but are good quality and a wide variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Another extension? They must be making some right brass. The last extension to the restaurant was only completed around 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewalk Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Restaurant has the feel of a Butlins canteen. Too big and noisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
