The tables were dirty and cluttered with dirty crockery and cutlery from previous customers. The roast potatoes were overcooked and dry. We had to clear a table in order to be able to sit and eat. At no time while we were there did anyone clear any of the tables. We had to wait quite sometime for a tray which when it arrived had gravy on the bottom of it, obviuosly not cleaned first.  
Very dissappointed and would not go there again unless we heard of significant improvements.

Very disappointed today. Travelled over from Lydbrook and Garden Centre was closed. It said on website : closed on Christmas day and Boxing Day but not Easter Sunday. There were cars queuing and being turned away. We could have gone to the restaurant but no incentive although we have been told we can come back Easter Monday and have a discount on plants. But we want seeds. We are now off to Country Garden Centre Huntley, who are smaller, but open today!

The management of 3Shires are very sorry that you were disappointed. Unfortunately we are not allowed to open our entire Garden Centre on Easter Sunday due to strict trading laws, where some other Garden Centre's are allowed if they have a smaller area of retail space. In response to customer demand we have opened The Gallery Restaurant for the past few years, as many of our regulars like to come anyway, perhaps meeting up with friends and family for a delicious carvery for Easter Lunch. The discount voucher for plants for customers returning on Easter Monday was offered as a goodwill gesture and we found many people did use it, I'm sorry that it did not suit you. I accept that our website should have been more up to date and should have published that we were not able to open on Easter Sunday. I will do my best to ensure this is rectified and the information is current. Once again, we are truly sorry for your disappointment when you came to see us. Best wishes Roy Walker, Centre Manager, 3Shires Garden Centre.

I disagree with the previous comment. I have had coffee/tea/cakes etc here a number of times and always found the quality good and the prices reasonable and similar to what I expect to pay elsewhere. I have been today and had a hot chocolate, a pot of tea and a large cake shared between my wife and I. Cost - £5.25 - not expensive!

This has become an expensive restaurant. When you pay nearly £4.00 for a slice of cake you expect a slice not one so thin the server can't pick it up!! I used to take my visitors here and advise people to eat here, I wont any more!!

Thanks for your feedback. We are so sorry that you got a raw deal on the size of your cake slice. Our cake slices are normally extremely generous, as are all our portion sizes, so not sure what has gone wrong here, but we would really love the opportunity to put it right as we value your custom and your feedback. We haven't increased our food prices at all over the past 12 months, and 
offer a range of patisserie items priced from only £1, in addition to daily special offers. We'd be really grateful if you would get in touch with our Restaurant Manager Amy Cosnett on 01531 828370 so we can try to put this matter right. Thank you, 3Shires.
