"Wonderful experience picking fruit, veg, and flowers at Garson farm."
"It's a great place for fruit and vegetables picking."
"They definitely have the largest variety of fruit and vegetables I've seen on 'pick your own' farms."
"You can drive close to each field and gather what fruit or vegetable you want, very convenient."
"Great to pick your own fruit and veg. Reasonably priced."
"The crops are reasonably priced, you can pick as many as you wish."
"Pick your own' is a great day out, you can take your children along and show them where their food comes from."
Cons:
"The sandwiches were greasy and the chips were over done. I will not be rushing back to eat at the cafe again."
"Had booked to PYO and really only to buy strawberries. Sadly fruit had totted due to the rain and they should have been taken off sale."
"PYO very disappointing and even more so was the 'sarky' response by one member of staff at the Pay Kiosk."
"We found no broccoli, no courgettes, and limited plums."
"Went picking strawberries, did pick any as they tasted bad."
"Disappointing… huge PYO farm but most the crops we were allowed to pick from were over ripe."
"Moved to the plums, didn't take any as most were rotten."
Restaurant and Cafe
Pros:
"Visited the cafe, which was busy and buzzing with families enjoying lovely drinks and food."
"The coffee they make at the restaurant is lovely too."
"Food: jacket potato with cheese, was nice, hot."
"Once ordered the food came very fast and was delicious as usual."
"Very tasty food. Great selection of Christmas decorations as well as everything your garden and home might ever need."
"Staff wonderful, food and food choices amazing, portion sizes fabulous, speed of service excellent."
"The cafe was delicious for lunch and the farmshop with butcher and deli counter looked fresh and inviting."
Cons:
"The only let down is that the restaurant table was dirty when we arrived."
"The food wasn't that great (would have expected better from a farm)."
"Exceptionally poor service in the restaurant which then after a long wait surrounded by empty tables served us over cooked expensive food."
"Restaurant was very poor, over priced and poor taste, I've eaten better at a little chef."
"The Menu is limited (lack of vegetarian options, salads and sandwiches), the food overpriced and the service usually poor due to it being busy."
"We asked multiple servers where our food was and while they said it was coming soon, it never arrived."
"Very odd unpleasant taste to the red velvet cake; tasteless muffins and a very weird combination of putting a highly sugared waffle with egg and bacon."
Customer Service
Pros:
"Such lovely staff, great for many garden items and they sell quality products."
"Customer Service always very good."
"All staff very welcoming as well."
"Staff there were very helpful and kind."
"Service was excellent and staff were super friendly."
"Lovely staff."
"Very friendly and helpful staff."
Cons:
"New ticketing system to get in to the farm. Poor customer service."
"You really need more staff clearing tables in the restaurant, especially outside."
"However we were rudely asked to take our dog out, not realising they weren’t allowed."
"We turned up without tickets with a 5 year old, 3 year old and 2 month old to meet with friends. And the person at the door show no empathy at all to let us in."
"Absolutely rude staff not letting children into the toilet!"
"Not enough checkouts open and the one I was queuing at said he was closing after the customer he was serving."
"We found they were very rude to my sister in law and her kids when wanting to buy items from the shop."
Facilities and Accessibility
Pros:
"The place is well signposted and laid out over a large area and parking is plentiful so easy to drive from one field to the next."
"Big shop with big parking area. Decorated beautifully outside and inside."
"Parking is also free."
"Spacious flexible seating for wheelchair users."
"Also there are a toilet facility, market and restaurant at the farm entrance."
"The fields are big and easily accessible."
"Restaurant and toilets on site all easily accessible."
Cons:
"The entire pathway may take up to an hour if you are on foot, so it is highly recommended to take your car till the end."
"Be aware all of their bags and punnets for your crops that you pick, are plastic :-("
"Very unwelcoming to see no dog signs all over car park walls and a big sign saying no dogs with a cross through it at entrance."
"Getting from the garden centre to the additional parking was challenging with a trolley and two young kids and all the cars reversing and driving around."
"Also beware that if you're then late getting out of the PYO farm part, the shop & cafe will have closed so there's nowhere to go to the loo!"
"The only downside was the lack of walkways and cars, getting from the garden centre to the additional parking was challenging."
"The reason for the low rating is because there were no seating areas and no toilets."
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"The overall cost is very much worth it. The fruit and vegetables are delicious they last much longer than supermarket stuff."
"If you want a cheap few hours and fresher than fresh fruit and vegetables this is the place."
"The prices were very affordable and we really enjoyed the experience."
"This is a huge place with a very reasonable entry fees per person."
"Prices are reasonable (don't expect cheaper than the store)."
"All parking is free and the entry fees to the farm can be refunded for your total purchase!"
"Prices of products is not expensive."
Cons:
"Nice place for a coffee but the plants & other goods are crazy prices."
"Expensive but good quality."
"Quite expensive now so advise only get what you can consume."
"The only thing which I found overpriced was the products at the Garden centre."
"Sadly virtually every product on sale is over-priced, sometimes quite dramatically."
"Very expensive and the cost adds up very quickly but I must admit the strawberries were certainly worth the premium."
"Admittedly this is not cheap place to buy produce, but you are paying for quality and freshness."
