Hattie's Kitchen

Hattie's Kitchen is the family-friendly café at Otley Garden Centre, part of the Yorkshire Garden Centres group. It serves breakfast from 9am and lunch from midday, with a menu that covers the classics: full English, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, fish and chips, and a carvery. There are vegan and vegetarian options on the menu too, so there's usually something for everyone at the table.

The format is order at the till with table service, and the place tends to get a good buzz going, especially at weekends. Scones, cakes and sweet treats are available throughout the day if you're just after a coffee and something to go with it. Seasonal afternoon tea is also on offer (booking essential), served Monday to Saturday between 12pm and 2:30pm, from £19.99 per person.

The restaurant has a wheelchair-accessible entrance, toilets and seating, so it's straightforward to get in and get settled whatever your needs. Opening hours run Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 5:30pm, and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

It's a solid spot for families who want a proper sit-down meal while visiting the garden centre, and the kids' menu means little ones are well catered for. It's the kind of place where you can easily stretch a browse around the plants into a full afternoon out.
