Customer Service

Pros:

  • "It really is nice to deal with a professional firm."
  • "The gentleman who comes round to check if everything is OK is an absolute star!"
  • "Without hesitation or question over postage/returning the mistake, Jackson's arranged for the correct order to be sent out that same day."
  • "The delivery team were great in what was quite a challenging spot to deliver to!"
  • "The staff are always happy to help and accommodate."
  • "Customer service was outstanding and I will be back to order more plants again soon!"
  • "The staff are very friendly and helpful which contributes to a very pleasant atmosphere."

Cons:

  • "Absolutely appalling delivery service - not even a notification that the tree was delivered which at least would have alerted me that something had gone wrong."
  • "I would not buy from them again because their customer service is poor and I don't believe they can be trusted."
  • "Not v impressed, product didnt quite live up to expectations/description, was way later than advertised delivery dates with no contact explaining delay."
  • "So unhappy with the service received and will not be revisiting."
  • "Horrendous customer service in the end."
  • "Go elsewhere and don’t take the risk of using this company - especially if you value your personal security."
  • "Really unhelpful customer service, apparently we should have known it was young bamboo even though it doesn’t say on the website or show it in the photos?"

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food is fabulous, all homemade including the chips, value for money."
  • "We nipped in for a cuppa and a piece of cake with cream and it was mega."
  • "Enjoyed a lovely Sunday dinner followed by a tasty chocolate chip milkshake."
  • "The food looked really nice."
  • "The food is excellent with a varied menu."
  • "The food and service what can I say. But par excellence as the French say."
  • "Food and service is absolutely amazing can not fault the Sunday roast well worth a visit."

Cons:

  • "Be prepared to wait a little for food at the busy times."
  • "Four of us had steak pie and chips, the pastry on the pie was so hard we didn’t eat it all and the meat inside was dry."
  • "We only ordered teacakes + large coffees but it took nearly half an hour for the teacakes to come.... Then even longer for the coffee.... It was lukewarm."
  • "Lunch was very nice, good size portion for your money. Breakfast the same again very good value but way way to greasy."
  • "The lasagne was dry and sticky with little taste."
  • "The tuna mayo on the baked potato was too big for me."
  • "Would not recommend this company - they left the tree on the street outside a block of flats in a random road that isn’t where I live with my personal mobile number and home address on full display."

Plant Quality

Pros:

  • "Their plant selection is very good and the whole atmosphere of the place is lovely."
  • "Nursery well stocked with plants and a lovely little farm type shop."
  • "Always a good selection of plants, many you will not find elsewhere."
  • "All the plants were top quality and fresh."
  • "Most importantly, my new plants arrived already flourishing with more growth than I expected."
  • "The plants looked great. Now planted in my garden and thriving well."
  • "Tree and climber arrived in perfect conditions and really fast."

Cons:

  • "Ordered a plant online, waited nearly 2 weeks for it to arrive and its come in a shocking state."
  • "Their website shows a beautiful lush tree, the reality was two thin, pitiful trees, where some 30% of the total height was a bare branch sticking up."
  • "The size wasn't worth the cost."
  • "The last couple of visits has been spoiled by the amount of wasps that have been swarming around - there is obviously a nest near the pond."
  • "The plants often arrive in poor shape anyway, and I've had to repot and look after them for some weeks."
  • "I bought a grafted wisteria from Jacksons in 2013 after being assured by them in writing that it was 'likely to flower next year'. It's now 2017 and... it still hasn't bloomed."
  • "I purchased 2 delphiniums from here... they died after 3 days as there was hardly any root in the pot."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The shop isn't the cheapest place around, but it's currently selling Christmas gifts so that's normal."
  • "The tree that arrived was of good quality and value for money."
  • "Great food and service in the tea room. The home cooked meals are delicious and the cakes superb!"
  • "The bread was so soft and really fresh."
  • "The homemade cakes are fabulous!"
  • "We had three shrubs on our list that we wanted... Good to say you had all three and of excellent quality."
  • "If you want an afternoon out looking at plants etc then look no further than Jackson's Nursery !! Then pop in to the Cafe to have a cuppa and something to eat !! You will NOT be disappointed - food and service OUTSTANDING !!!"

Cons:

  • "The shop was all upside down and boxes everywhere."
  • "Way too expensive but I suppose its that kind of place, tearoom, farm shop, homewares all about profit. Didn't buy anything and went to my local garden centre on Brookhouse Lane instead and saved a fortune buying plants."
  • "Do not buy bamboo from here."
  • "I ordered some small red Robin root balls online... only to find out after checkout that I got stung £10 for delivery."
  • "The fact my husband was able to carry a 5/6 ft tree with one hand should have been a warning sign that the tree was of very poor quality."
  • "I am shocked at how overpriced they are now."
  • "The response I received from the nursery was similarly as disappointing, accepting no responsibility for the poor quality of the tree."
