It is right by the river so beautifully placed for watching the river and boats flow past. The gardens are a little treasure trove and fantastic for children as there are statues,animals, all sorts of interesting things hidden in the flowers and trees. The food and coffee are lovely and the folks serving are bubbly and friendly.I would thouroughly recommend a visit to Lilys :)</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16155830912903166734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552948486316323930.post-75257496219844233272014-07-15T16:25:00.000-07:002014-07-31T08:04:48.340-07:00Wonderful Cream Tea<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">We found this tea garden near our hotel and stopped for a cream tea.

The setting is gorgeous and full of character. As others have said it is accessed down some steps off the main road into a wonderful secret garden full of mature plants and quirky decorations and we discover new ones every time we visit. It is all outdoors but there is plenty of shade if wanted and the views of the river are outstanding. It is quite rightly popular but we have always found a seat, or the staff will produce a table and chairs from storage somewhere. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The cafe is closed in winter but this is for very good reasons. Firstly sitting outside by the river in the cold lacks appeal unless you are very hardy. Secondly and importantly, the garden appears to flood every winter as there are chalk marks on the toilet door to show how high it floods. One flood is as high as the toilet door!</span><br />

The food is fresh, generous portions and very reasonably priced. My husband had a large ham baguette served with coleslaw(home made and very good) and chips. I had salmon fishcakes, coleslaw and chips with the nicest lemon drizzle cake and cream. </span><br />

My husband commented that was very good value at £2.00 each. We spent a very enjoyable long lunch eating and and watching the ducks on the river and left feeling full and happy from another Lily's experience. </span><br />

Beautiful setting in a quirky, leafy, pretty garden overlooking the River Severn. Feels like you're on holiday here, so tranquil... </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">It was a gorgeous sunny day when we went yesterday and I honestly couldn't think of a more perfect place to sit and enjoy the sunshine. I only had a cold drink, so cannot comment on the food. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Good bar though, plenty of choice and cheap too! Good choice of places to sit, some seats in small private areas of the garden and very friendly staff - what more could you ask for?!!!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16155830912903166734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552948486316323930.post-24367792629674653482013-07-19T04:57:00.000-07:002014-07-08T04:58:59.519-07:00“Charming secret garden”My husband and I visited today for the first time and we will definitely return. The food id nice and very reasonably priced. We both ordered a ham baguette and it arrived as a huge warm baguette the length of the plate with chips,side salad and a very good home made apple relish. <br />
<br />
Although lunch was nice the real charm of this place is its location. <br />
<br />
The café is set in a fabulously well established and charmingly slightly unruly garden next to the river. Access is down little twisty paths with the odd branch or two to lift out of the way to get to the tables. It very much has the feel of sitting in a much loved secret garden with lots to see and full of butterflies and pretty ornaments. <br />
<br />
The lunch which included a cup of mint tea only came to £5.50 which is a bargain for a nice lunch in such gorgeous surroundings. I love unusual places and I cant think of anywhere nicer on a sunny day. <br /><br />We will certainly be returning.
