Whitegates Nursery - Northallerton

It's a lovely drive into the countryside to get to Whitegates. There is ample parking. Mainly rough ground.
The garden centre has a wealth of different styles of plants, both indoors and outdoors. The prices are on a par with other garden centres I have visited in the area.
The cafe is well worth a visit. We had a short wait for a table to become available. Once shown to our seat, the staff couldn't do enough to help. It speaks volumes for the reputation of the cafe when a queue is in evidence on a Tuesday lunchtime. The cafe is by no means small. The menu is quite extensive. We chose one of the specials. Our meals were soon placed in front of us. Such is the detail and care taken by the cafe, the plate holding the salad was cool. The bowl for the jacket potato with chili con carne was nicely warm. The food was hot and very tasty. Again prices are on a par with other similar establishments. A very pleasant lunch. Nice one.

What a lovely spot!

Visited earlier in the year and had such a lovely time! All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable! Bought quite a few plants and visited the cafe. The cafe is obviously very, very popular. It's quirky with all the mismatched furniture and spotlessly clean. Good selection of cakes and divine cheesecakes! The staff in there are lovely and were happy to check out my intolerances. So nice to have someone come round later to ask if everything is okay too!

Called in again last week as I wanted to see what their Christmas display would be like! O!M!G! I was not disappointed! Fabulous!!!! Worth visiting just to look at that! There was everything you could ever want! And the lady in that department was so friendly!

Good parking!
Wheelchair friendly
Dog friendly - even in the indoor entrance way tables for the cafe.

Would I recommend it - definitely
Would I revisit - absolutely.

I visited yesterday with 2 friends. The service and attention we were given was amazing. One friend is in a wheelchair and needs to have their leg fully extended at all times. The staff saw us arrive, they opened the doors with a warm welcome and asked just the right questions, so we were all seated at the best table. The staff were all so kind and accommodating of our needs.
The food and drinks were delicious and good value for money.
Thank you Whitegates for making our visit such a pleasure. We will be back again soon.

What a wonderful nursery. Great selection of the best quality plants around & more reasonably priced than most other ants sold in the area.
The plants are magnificently maintained. Not a single leaf put of place on any of the greenhouses.
Restaurant is always busy.
Biggest issue is there is so little choice for vegetarians, so we settled for a plate of chips & sweet potato chips. Only other thing was a curry. Even the cakes were 99% unsuitable. The flapjack was however delicious, so too the cuppas.

We all enjoyed the food which was served quickly and plentiful. The plants all looked healthy and there was lots of variety, thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Lovely garden centre with a nice cafe & good food. We had lunch here & it was very enjoyable. We also had a good browse inside, especially at the gifts, bulbs & Easter items. We looked at all of the plants outside too. There was a very good selection of plants at very competitive prices. We'll definitely be going back when we're garden ready
