Plantation Room Cafe at the Botanic Garden

Stunning place! The gardens had so much variety of plants, trees and wildlife...saw turtles, lizards, red squirrels, huge dragon flies and many different birds. Lovely shops with great gifts and produce. Excellent cafe with a good selection on the menu. Friendly staff, good facilities and ample parking... definitely well worth a visit!

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting The Plantation Room Cafe, which accommodated my gluten and dairy allergies exceptionally well. Graham, who assisted me, was not only attentive to my dietary requirements but also very personable. The salad was delightful—I could have easily gone back for more. The customer service provided by Graham was outstanding; he engaged us in conversation about the island and all the amenities the venue offers, clearly showcasing his passion for his work. Although we had already planned our day and were merely stopping by for a takeaway lunch, we are looking forward to returning to the Isle of Wight and visiting again.

Just visited for the first time and had the Under the Sea. Perfectly poached eggs with lots of hollandaise and salmon! The freshly squeezed OJ is also amazing. Great service from the team too - very friendly and welcoming.

We were passing on the nearby A35 from Southampton and knew the cafe was near the Totton roundabout, and we found it quite easily. Plenty of parking and an excellent farm shop next door to the cafe for post-lunch shopping! There was plenty of space as the cafe is surprisingly large but it was pleasantly busy with a lunchtime vibe. We were immediately greeted by very friendly staff, shown to a table and brought menus. Lunch and drinks arrived quite quickly but everything was home-made and freshly cooked. I had a veggie quiche which was delicious and my husband had a burger which was very substantial. We particularly loved the chips which were crunchy but not greasy at all. For a quick bite of lunch it was perfect, but actually somewhere that I would got to meet friends too as it is ideal to have a leisurely coffee with scrummy looking cake or perhaps brunch. They do close at 3.30pm so more of an earlier in the day venue. Very impressed with this new venue, and hope they are very successful, which they certainly deserve

Me and the inlaws stayed at signal point last weekend and had a couple of breakfasts in the cafe but the best was Monday 12th May. Cant thank Graham enough, the food was beautiful and the omelette was the perfection. What a lovely soul Graham is, and his wife. So nice to chat too and you can tell he truly enjoys his job. I forget the lady's name who he was working with (May have been Sophie) but she was lovely too and cant fault her in any way. Thankyou so much for everything x

A must pick is their botanical ale and lager, and occasionally they do have the very unique hops if you are keen in brewing your own

A lovely cafe surrounded by beautiful serene gardens. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food and tea were delicious. We even had some local wildlife show up during our stay!
