Arrived for breakfast and was surprised to wait 25 minutes when there were only 3 other tables being used. Popped to the gift shop next door while I was waiting and the older lady cooking left the food to speak to staff out the back and I could hear her over the wall in the shop giving orders to staff about where they were to be working that day. Not in a friendly manner either. Perhaps talk a bit quieter so customers can?t hear. Finally when the food arrived the drinks were cold though not that warm in the first place! I ordered American pancakes and watched her take them from the freezer and put them in the microwave. I apologised to the waitress that I could only eat half of them as they were hard from over microwaving. She whisked the plate away and went to speak to the cook. No apology! My husband had finished his breakfast so We got up to walk out and the cook (the older lady) said ?dont you want anymore pancakes ??? I said ?I hadn?t been offered any?? She then said ?they were soft when you got them. It must?ve been the maple syrup!? I?ve never heard of maple syrup making pancakes hard, perhaps cook from scratch next time! No apology, clearly ruffled that I had dare complain about her cooking! Instead of barking orders at your staff work on your own customer service skills and learn to apology when necessary. Won?t be returning to this cafe in a hurry. Very disappointing as such a lovely garden centre with friendly staff, but sadly not in the cafe!

Our first Sunday roast lunch at the Foundry, definitely not the last! Wife had roast beef and I tried the turkey. Both very tasty, good size portions and served with masses of vegetables. The biscoffi cheesecake was perfect. Have always had good food here and the staff are friendly and efficient!

We were amazed at the service. The cafe staff could not have been more helpful. We had sandwiches, cakes, tea and coffee. All of which were excellent and we were happy to discover the majority of cakes on offer were cooked on site by the staff. Very impressed.with both food and service.

We ordered 2 breakfast and wasn't advised the wait would be 40 minutes ( four staff working & four tables waiting for food...) When the breakfast arrived no apology was given for the time delay, the food was very greasy, having to mop some up with a napkin, the bacon was hard, the toast was cold. One of the breakfast had baked bean sauce on it after asking for no beans due to allergies... we returned this for a refund, of which was given reluctantly. We visited some two years ago and we walked out because a woman was rude to us, maybe I should of learnt the first time not to return.

Visited today, dining area is nice and clean. Nice chairs and tables, staff friendly and helpful. Given menus and take are drink order. Ordered the pork roast with all the trimmings and my husband ordered the beef. Fantastic meal by far. Cooked to perfection by the chef Elliot. A really first class meal. It was followed by strawberry meringue with ice cream sundae wow what a pudding for only £4 99. The chef was friendly and had a chat. Would recommend to anyone 10 out of 10 fir everything couldn't find fault.

Incredible roast! Nicest one I've had eating out and on a Saturday!! The Garden room restaurant is a beautiful setting to dine, the sun was out and I felt like I was in the Mediterranean and surrounded by beautiful plants (which are fantasticly priced might I add) Service was friendly and efficient. Gold stars all around!

Very pleased with my 1st visit to the foundry plant centre Norwich Norfolk today. 1st thing was to have my breakfast from the Coffee shop that was freshly made and very nice ?. The main reason for my visit today was to purchase a trypod roster for my Kadai fire pit. I was impressed with the range of accessories that was on the shelf. With a generous 25% of Kadai accessories so I was happy to purchase more than the trypod roster ? Thanks I will be back ?

Visited for the cafe. Food was amazing- one of the best hot breakfasts around. The cafe itself however, is very hot and the wait time for food can be 45 mins+. Overall would recommend if you?ve got the time.
