Re-opening our Café
About The Bell Plantation Café
We are delighted to be re-opening our Café doors once again since lock down. We have been working hard whilst we have been closed to make necessary changes to keep you and our team safe. We have also completed the renovations to expand our Cafe area which means we have been able to give you lots of space in all the seating areas.
We are currently running an adapted menu. However we are still bringing you delicious, simple English food that is made as fresh as possible.
At breakfast, you can have anything from simple toast to a full English breakfast. Mid-morning, we serve delicious barista-made coffee and home-made cakes.
At lunch, you can have a simple home-made sandwich, a baguette, lasagne or choose from one of our specials on the board. In the afternoon you can relax with a cup of tea and a slice of cake or try a full-blown afternoon tea (Monday – Saturday from 3pm).

Wow, what a transformation they've had since I last visited. It's three times the size! Due to Covid-19, new restaurant/café wasn't open, but again, wow, very impressed. Friendly staff as well. Animals (birds and goats) to look at and some for purchase. Other new, not yet open, buildings accessed through the car parking area. Will be back!!

Was really looking forward to it opening again, and wasn't disappointed. There were '2 metre' notices and markers everywhere. Enjoyed my look around, and didn't miss out on coffee and cake either as it was takeaway.

Good large garden centre, we come 20 mins drive to get here. Wide variety of local produce from food to seeds and sheds as well as plants and trees. Also sell live poultry and caters for large animals like horses. Good for bird things but less so for cats. Good selection of alpines and pots. Have and will continue to return. I would bring my mum here.

Always a fantastic selection of products on offer - especially their Christmas decorations. Although it could be argued that you can find similar products for less money elsewhere, the quality at Bell is top notch and (usually) worth the premium. Only criticisms are the surface and layout of the car park (both poor) and the short opening hours. Other than that, it’s pretty much spot on.
