Didn't know it had re-opened as a bistro/restaurant. We went for brunch and only stayed for a cuppa as we were the only ones in there. Could do with some music playing possibly. More on social media might help as only noticed when passing and thought it had opened as the old acorn.

Great little place. We stopped for a coffee. Great cakes too. The rest of the menu looked really good too.Dietary restrictions: Vegan cakes available.

Quite an odd cafe, especially for a garden centre. The atmosphere is dark and moody with a feel more like a mini nightclub.We only stopped for coffee which was ok with a price of £2.59 for an Americano.

Now under new ownership with good access, bigger outdoor seating area and new look restaurant serving Italian dishes for a reasonable price. I went for lunch but they do evening meals and cocktails as well.Most importantly it was clean, tables got cleared quickly, the staff were attentive and friendly.They had some tasty looking cakes so I'll have to come back and try those out.Vegetarian options: Plenty of meat-free options in the Italian kitchen, to name a few: caprese salad, goats cheese and grilled veg salad, margarita pizza etc.

Now called ACORN WESTERLEIGH. Namek and Richard have done a great job with completely changing this establishment. Now an Italian restaurant open from 0830 - 230pm and 5-10pm in the evenings with a great menu! A must try for everyone!

Had a lovely breakfast, the two guys that run the acorn now for a couple of months are really nice and friendly. Latte was very nice and hot. Had eggs on toast and was very nice. I think they will do very well so give the acorn a go for breakfast, dinner or evening meal you won’t be disappointed

ACORN WESTERLEIGH is the new name. Completely different establishment to before. Great changes made and very welcoming. Lots of changes on site as well.

The Acorn has been taken over and although not actually open fully until the 16th July, the owners served us 2 lovely omelettes, very nice coffee and were very pleasant and friendly

Great place for a drive by lunch. Good menu. Plenty parking. Friendly staff.Go try it out
I don't even know where to start, but I will try. Past experience, amazing food was having a good day, so wanted good food. Current experience staff all over the place food came out quickly after trying to explain we wanted a breakfast and pulled pork baguette. The breakfast was a mess bacon, which looked like it had all been shredded and put in a little pile eggs way over cooked and dripping with oil sausages cold and had a very weird taste hash browns looked like they had gone for a dip in the sea. Toast was nice, and the beans. Coffee I had one sip not good cost 10.50. The pork baguette was microwaved, so it was soggy in parts and felt like rubber in other parts. No sauce cost 9.50, not a good place would not recommend possibly maybe just a tea ?

Breakfast was warmed up in microwave really small breakfast for nearly £8.Got our toast 15 minutes before our actual breakfast. Thought it was greasy and Luke warm. Took ages to get a coffee. No menus and dirty tables everywhere.

Think they were short staffed but we had to wait 45 mins for a simple lunch. Couldn't cope with only 15 customers to cater for. Won't be returning in a rush. When food arrived it was was nice.

The meat was like a packet meat not a freshly carved joint. The suede had been burned or the steam pan burned dry as it had a strong burned taste and there was a tang about the whole meal. The desserts were very nice though.

Stopped here for a light lunch after a walk with the dog on Yate Common.Very dog friendly restaurant and the food was excellent. I had a tuna melt panini, which came with side salad and crisps. Plenty of filling in the panini and the right amount if salad and crisps.Will definitely return.
