I have been there several times, for pleasure, or to hold informal meetings in connection with my businesses.
Yesterday was a family time with one of my sons, and his family, after a lovely walk around Cowm Reservoir, Whitworth, watching the water skiers and having fun times with my grand sons.
A couple of things stood out for in particular, leading me to give them another entry on my blog...
Firstly, the rather cool G logo on the top of my cappuccino, and secondly, a rather impressive example of exceptional customer service.
One member of our group managed to accidentally drop their sandwich on the floor, while trying to share the very generous portion of coleslaw and side salad with someone else. When the waitress realised what had happened, she immediately took the recovered sandwich away and said they would make a completely fresh one. A few minutes later she returned with a freshly-made replacement.
Bearing in mind it was a customer's fault the sandwich was dropped, there was no obligation to replace it, but they did so without thinking about or questioning the situation. Top marks in my reckoning.
The prices are not the cheapest, but the value is excellent, if you know what I mean. Presentation, quality and quantity of food are top notch for a garden centre cafe, and I would thoroughly recommend Gordon's Bistro to anyone.

We go here all the time. They are brilliant with the kids, often encouraging us to take their cake offcuts to give to children for nothing. I helped out with a Playgroup trip there the other day (to look at the fish and lizards!) and they gave us a whole load of shortbread biscuits for the children for free. As you say, it's not particularly cheap (although not outrageous) but worth it for the customer service.
