About this place
A restaurant up on the mezzanine level (accessible by lift) as well as a café, both with consistently good food. The restaurant runs a carvery sandwich and homemade specials, and the café is known for its cake selection and cream scones. Afternoon tea can also be booked, including in outside cabin spaces.
Grass Hoppers indoor and outdoor play areas is also available with bouncing pillows and zip wire in the outdoor area and a soft play area indoors.
Tong Garden Centre is also a large, well-stocked garden centre on the outskirts of Bradford, part of the Yorkshire Garden Centres group. As well as the full range of plants, trees, compost and outdoor furniture you'd expect, there's a food hall (Hearty's), a lifestyle and gift section, houseplants, a pet and wildlife department, an aquatics area with Koi Carp, and a handful of retail partners all under one roof. The Christmas displays in particular are worth a special trip.
