Bellis Brothers Ltd Reviews Summary

Family-Friendly Activities

Pros:

• "We had a lovely afternoon pumpkin picking today. Lots of shapes & sizes to choose from."
• "Recommended for sure. Pick your own -a bit expensive than in supermarkets but believe me sweet strawberries and raspberries we picked were totally worth it."
• "The maze was good fun getting lost & finding the clue boards dotted around."
• "Great place to shop for all things garden, really good food and service in the cafe, options for gluten free too."
• "Fantastic selection of pyo fruits, lovely clean restaurant, great choice of menu and friendly staff!"
• "Always enjoy a visit here. Lovely lunch and great choice of garden plants and equipment."
• "Great strawberry picking with the family today, even in the rain it was fun!"
• "Really fun day picking pumpkins and going through the maize maze!"

Cons:

• "This is a great place to visit without a small child. Went today in the pouring rain. No parent/child parking so had to park quite far from the store."
• "Went for the spooky maze and pumpkin picking unfortunately the weather has been poor turning the maze into a mud bath."
• "Have been visiting for years as it's very accessible for mum in her wheelchair. She has a small appetite and the restaurant is not as accommodating as it once was."
• "The main shop was great. A little play area for children. Only shame was there weren't many fruit bearing plants that could go in a small garden."

Food and Restaurant Experience

Pros:

• "The restaurant might be busy on weekends, but it's worth it for the veggie-filled sandwiches and hot soups."
• "Nice cafe, plenty of tables. Grab something quick or order off the menu for table service. Kids meal options."
• "Very interesting plants and unusual gifts to be found in this lovely garden centre. Also an excellent selection of fresh produce along with butchers."
• "Went for the spooky maze and pumpkin picking unfortunately the weather has been poor turning the maze into a mud bath however in spite of the weather it was well set out and young kids would love it."

Cons:

• "Love everything about Bellis' but tried the restaurant for the first time to experience miserable service and horrendous food."
• "Despite complaining about luke warm food 2 yrs ago nothing has changed!"
• "Been coming here for many years and food's been great but on 2 visits recently had breakfast with my wife last week then 2 friends today and have to say the breakfast was very poor."
• "Sad to report the worst Sunday Roast we’ve had in years. Perhaps it was due to the volume of customers on a warm Father’s Day."

Quality of Produce and Plants

Pros:

• "The shop had cheese tastings during the Christmas event. It was very helpful which cheese we should choose."
• "Lovely plant area. Always stocked well, with some of the old favourites."
• "This is a shopping experience where I am proud to support local. The produce, quality and overall atmosphere is sublime."
• "Great selection of quality fruit and veg. Situated in the very pleasant village of Holt."

Cons:

• "The logs this year are awful. They don't hold weight when you pick them up, nothing substantial to burn for the money paid."
• "Great garden centre, though disappointed with the quality of the meat in the butchers counter."

Accessibility and Family Convenience

Pros:

• "Parking was great & really well organised."
• "Plenty of car parking includes disabled spaces. Internally all on flat suitable for wheelchairs."

• "They don’t allow dogs. I visited yesterday with my yorkie to be told emphatically NO dogs allowed AT all."
