I felt compelled to reach out today to express my dissatisfaction with the poor service and subpar meal my autistic adult son and I experienced on 22/12/25. We used to enjoy visiting this garden center during our time in Leeds about nine years ago, but this visit was disappointing. We enjoyed browsing the store and were pleasantly surprised by the donkeys and the aquatic section. However, when it came time for lunch around 11:00 am, we encountered confusion at the cafeteria. We joined a queue but noticed others bypassing it and getting seated. An assistant directed us to a table, but many were still unaware they could sit down. The signage was misleading and too cluttered, causing confusion. Once seated, we ordered jacket potato with beans for my son and fish and chips for myself, only to find out the hot meals wouldn't be served until 12:00, despite the menu stating the time. I opted for a tuna sandwich instead, and while waiting, we ordered hot chocolates that took 20 minutes to arrive. My son's jacket potato was warm, not hot, and my tuna sandwich was disappointing, with thick bread and low-quality tuna. The prices were high for the quality offered. Overall, this experience at what used to be a pleasant dining spot was extremely unsatisfactory, and I wouldn't recommend this kitchen to anyone.
