Beautiful gardens in a gorgeous part of south Shropshire - a tranquil setting with friendly and welcoming staff. Would highly recommend.

A gardeners delight, I've always wanted to visit this place ever since I saw on TV last year its so different from others I like how it's planted and staff are helpful.

A delightful hidden gem! Wildgoose Tearoom is part of a walled garden nursery. The food, cakes, and coffee were some of the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to visit again.

Interesting to see this walled garden featured (free advert) on Gardeners’ World. Shame they didn’t mention how the owners respond so badly to negative feedback about their tearoom, rather than welcoming constructive criticism.

Lovely tea & cake in a beautiful and tranquil garden on an extremely hot day in August. Tea was served in blue &white china outside under shade, surrounded by wonderful planting. Really appreciated the philosophy of the garden such as no watering. Could afternoon tea be served anywhere more pretty? The lunch menu is simple and short. This is for short stops whilst enjoying a small part of paradise.

Have never eaten lunch here but have enjoyed excellent tea, coffee and cakes many times. Fantastic selection of sweet goods; an ever reliable Victoria sponge and many other interesting options. Ate there this afternoon and had Persian love cakes which were heavily flavoured with delicious nutmeg and were new to me. The view of the garden and the hills beyond make this place a really restful and interesting place. The gardens themselves are beautiful and full of interesting plants and planting ideas. Thoroughly recommended.

Having had a nice afternoon tea here in the past, we visited again for lunch. How disappointing! The lunch menu had just one item on it - quiche salad - which I hate. Only option for me was the one and only starter of a bowl of soup and bread roll. Tried to fill up with a piece of carrot cake - they had run out. The waitress gave the impression she would rather be doing anything than working there! In short, don’t bother to visit this place if you want anything to eat.

Lots of choice of plants, most with labels and descriptions. Price range okay. After buying a number of plants we didn't use the tea rooms, decided to pay £5 each to view the planting schemes in the gardens. Perhaps viewing the gardens could be complementary if a quantity of plants are purchased.

Visited for the first time this weekend, don’t know why we’ve not been before, and had a lovely lunch followed by a tour of the gardens which still looked good despite it being late in the season. Nice chilled out experience. Looking forward to going back.

We really enjoyed our visit to this beautiful walled garden. Lots of colour and interesting plants. The lunch menu was not huge but it was all freshly prepared and very delicious. I particularly enjoyed the pea, olive and pepper salad. We sat "in the garden". The cakes looked great too, but didn't have room for one unfortunately. The staff were very friendly. I hope to make another visit in the spring if not before.
Beautiful and exuberant planting in a walled garden. A great location, lovely coffee and cake, unusual plants to buy. What else could you possibly need for a great day out.

We fell in love with Wildesgoose Tearoom on our first visit and were made to feel so welcome, we now try to call in most weekends during the season. Based in a large walled garden that is being lovingly restored after lying untouched for years, it boasts magnificent views over the Shropshire Hills. On a sunny day you can sit outside and admire the garden while tucking into a lovely afternoon tea. Graeme, Janette and their helper Nick are friendly and welcoming and I cannot fault the service which is second to none. The food is really good. It's fresh, homemade using quality ingredients, and nicely presented on pretty crockery. The different varieties of bread come from a local bakery and the delicious soup is made by Graeme who has converted my soup hater husband into soup lover. He also makes great Rocky Road while Janette's cakes and scones are to die for. Any drawbacks? Yes, just one, it only opens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! We are going to miss our weekly visits when the place closes for the winter on October 13, but will hopefully visit again during the two special winter weekends at the end of November and the beginning of December.

Unsure whether title should have been 'Walled Gardens with lovely Tearooms' but either way an excellent visit. A Sunday morning visit & whilst part of a group, this was no problem with plenty of viewing to be done. Excellent achievements with the gardens in the 8yrs (ish) to date, and it appears plenty of more opportunities for the future which will require further visits without hesitation. Lovely tearoom inside & out (fantastic views) with a good choice of foods and drinks.Very efficient and pleasant service to match.
