Didn't eat but quite busy at 11.45am so suggests good, quality food and service... Did look at menu which was diverse and reasonably priced.. Much more than just a place to buy plants, worth a visit...

Took ages for anyone to serve us, loads of staff, most bickering in the background while we stood waiting to order. Scone was nice but fell to pieces so hard to eat as you were eating crumbs.

Nice cafe in the garden centre at Epworth. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced, and the cakes in particular are very good, with lots of choice. It’s self service, but hot meals and snacks are brought to your table. The cafe is clean, well maintained and there is a lovely outdoor area for sunny days.

Looking for somewhere to eat that was open in Epworth on a Sunday- and it was mostly closed. Called in at a pub that seemed v good, but no food. Ofound Lemon Tree Tea Rooms, @ £12 each for meat & potatoe pie, chips, vegetables & veg lasagne, chips & salad. @£4 for a huge slice of cake. Over £30 total including pot of tea and a coke. Portions were good, everything tasted great, it was clean and friendly, helpful polite staff.Sorry no photos but we will come back.
