We asked for some suggestions over on our Facebook page and have rounded up the best for an afternoon tea or a cake stop.
1. Barton Grange’s Riverside Cafe (and Willows Restaurant)
Garstang Road - Brock - PR3 0RB (@BartonGrange_CG) Riverside Café offers views of the River Brock, homemade soups, seasonal mains, sandwiches and salads. Everything is cooked and baked from scratch using fresh ingredients - and the perfect pause as you stroll through the garden centre. Make sure you book your afternoon tea in advance.
