New! Order from your table at Floral Days Café – no queuing!

We’ve got some exciting news to share with you here at Hilltop Garden Centre. We know how important it is to make your visit as enjoyable and relaxing as possible — whether you’re popping in for coffee and cake or settling down for a leisurely lunch. That’s why we’ve introduced our brand new table ordering system at Floral Days Café!

From now on, you can order your food and drinks straight from your table — no need to queue at the counter (unless you prefer to of course). It’s simple, it’s quick, and it gives you more time to enjoy your visit.

How it works:

  • You’ll find a handy QR code on a poster on every table in our café and dog-friendly seating areas.
  • Scan the QR code using your phone’s camera or a QR code app.
  • Click the link that comes up to view our full café menu.
  • Add your favourite dishes and drinks to your cart and when you’re ready, hit ‘View Cart’ then ‘Checkout’.
  • Enter your email or checkout as a guest, select your seating area and table number, then proceed to payment.
  • Sit back and relax — your order will go straight to our kitchen and our team will bring it out to you.

Why you’ll love table ordering:

  • No more queuing – enjoy more time relaxing and chatting with friends.
  • More comfortable for everyone – if you find it difficult to stand for long periods, you can order while seated.
  • Dog-friendly dining just got easier – if you’re sitting in our indoor or outdoor dog-friendly seating areas, you can now order without having to leave your dog to queue up.
  • Browse at your own pace – there’s no rush to make decisions, just take your time browsing the menu on your phone, or view our large printed menus that are on each table, decide what you'd like, and then order from your phone!
  • Quicker service – your order goes straight to the kitchen without waiting in line.
  • Easy, secure payments – no need to handle cash or cards at the till.

And don’t worry — if you prefer to order at the counter, you can still do that too. This new option is all about making things easier and more flexible for you.

Next time you visit Floral Days Café, give our new table ordering system a try! Whether you’re stopping by for coffee, a sandwich, or one of our famous seasonal specials, you can simply sit back, relax, and we’ll take care of the rest. See you soon!
