“A well-deserved success for the RHS” – this large venue at their Wisley HQ provides a “glorious setting for lovely lunches”. The gardens are hugely popular all year round, so it’s “always advisable to book”. Top Tip – “don’t forget, you do need to pay to enter the gardens in order to eat at the restaurant” (about £20 per adult).

“How nice to have a decent restaurant to round off your visit to the RHS gardens”, with a “short menu of good-quality food” in “attractive surroundings”. Wisley can get enormously busy, though, and service can struggle to cope with the sheer numbers.

This “lovely, airy, half-conservatory-style restaurant” makes “a nice treat when you visit the RHS Garden”. The “sensibly short menu” is (as you might hope) “good on food origins, and uses Wisley fruit and veg when possible”. It’s also “good value” and – “even on days when there’s a long queue to get into the gardens – calm and organised”.

“Such a lovely venue”; this “friendly” restaurant certainly has a “great setting” – being “located within the RHS Gardens at Wisley”. Add in some dependable food (including a “brilliant set lunch”) and a visit can be a treat.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
