We are delighted to announce the long awaited and much anticipated re-opening of our Café!!! So nice to have our Café colleagues back and to feel complete again! We have reduced the gift offering in the Café building and created a large airy interior with plenty of space between the tables. For those who prefer to sit outside we have the covered outdoor terrace, and we have also created a whole new picnic area for take-aways.

Please take time to understand the new processes that we have introduced and pay attention to the signs. Things may take a little longer than before – please bear with us – because our objective has been entirely about making both you and the staff feel safe so that you can enjoy their delicious food!! There will be a reduced menu initially but this will include all our popular dishes. Please note that we are taking Card Only payments. The lead member of each party will also be asked to fill in a short slip for Track And Trace purposes (NB Loyalty card holders will only need to provide your card number, date and time) For further information or to make a booking please email cafe@root-one.co.uk. If you want to book in advance please do so by 4pm at the latest for a next day reservation.

Can we please remind you of the following general points:
We are working hard throughout the garden centre to keep you safe by minimising points of contact and areas of congestion. Please follow the one-way systems that are in place, observe social distancing rules, and in general once inside, please keep to the left as you make your way around.

Your safety and the safety of our staff are paramount. Screens are in place at all tills and the staff all have access to protective masks. Hand sanitisers are widely available.

At busy times we may still need to limit numbers on the site. Apologies for any inconvenience so caused.

We are taking card payment only (but including HTA gift cards and vouchers). No cash please. Contactless payments can now be made at all tills up to a value of £45. The keypads for larger amounts will be wiped after each use. Where possible you will be invited to place the items you wish to buy on a table where they can be scanned by the till staff without having to be handled.
Trolleys and baskets are available as usual, and all handles are wiped between uses.
