Atmosphere and Layout
Pros:
"This place is a lot bigger than you think from the front, excellent Christmas display, all at a good price."
"Great place to visit, even if you're not thinking of planting just yet! Lots of homewares, gifts, animal supplies, outdoor goods, etc."
"Another fab visit to this lovely garden centre. It may be small in scale compared to many but is always jam-packed with interesting and quality goodies."
"The garden center bit is lovely shame that the Cafe let's it down service is none existent."
Cons:
"Too much Christmas tat at the moment. A shame to see the arrival of a loyalty card. It means carrying yet another bloody card! Ditch them."
"Arrived at 16.35 to buy a couple of things. In their haste to close up, all the lights inside had been switched off."
"We visited this garden centre this weekend, the staff from the moment we walked through the door, were very warm & friendly."
"Didn't like it much. 1st visit. Staff not brilliant. Freezing cold. Was going to have coffee but all I could smell was old frying fat."
Café and Food
Pros:
"Had lunch here, last week. Good menu... Spacious seating area. Can sit outside. Wheelchair friendly. Special seating area inside, for dogs, with dog bowl."
"We had a lovely meal, good choice on the menu, freshly made, & once again very friendly, warm staff in the restaurant."
"The food in the restaurant is excellent and plenty of choice. Staff very polite and friendly and efficient."
"Lunch was very nice (fish chips&mushy peas. Only gave 4 stars cus peas were over cooked but would recommend the fish & chips they were lovely."
Cons:
"The garden centre itself is lovely, but the café really let it down. We ordered 2 lattes, 1 tea and some scones. The tea arrived, but nothing else."
"Dreadful cafe, ordered a bacon &brie ciabatti which arrived as a panini tiny slivers of burnt bacon instead of rashers hardly any brie."
"Visited the cafe. I ordered the cheese and pepper scone. When it arrived it was completely bland with no sign of cheese except a little sprinkle on the top."
"Ok. Cafe was very overpriced almost £19 for 2 coffees and 2 small cakes? Unfortunately, we were sat next to the kitchen and all we could hear was the chefs messing around."
Customer Service
Pros:
"Staff polite and friendly, will definitely be returning when up in Nottingham again."
"Just met with friends for a bite to eat. I have a food allergy and have to be careful what I order. The young woman who served me couldn't have been more attentive."
"After duly waiting quite some while at the 'wait here' sign, a surly waitress eventually arrived."
"Friendly knowledgeable staff. Lots of choice, keeps my wife busy for ages..."
Cons:
"Someone was using a machine to wash all of the floor which was soaking wet with water and soap sude creating a health and safety hazard."
"AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE !! I purchased a Large garden parasol from here, at £299. Initially, I was told there was a set of bolts missing."
"This review is solely about the restaurant. If it were possible to give no stars, I would do that. Horrendous service."
"I think everyone in the restaurant is fed up and overworked, I had to send one pizza back as it was burnt on the base and we couldn't eat it."
Product Range and Quality
Pros:
"Nice to see an independent still surviving. A fair range of plants at reasonable prices."
"Went only to look around and came home with loads of new plants for the garden. Not a bad price at 4 for £10 either!"
"Brilliant selection of plants all well grown and healthy. Some more unusual plants too and a good selection of shrubs and trees."
"A wonderful garden centre. Cheap, fantastic plants, and very helpful assistants always happy to advise."
Cons:
"Not a good experience today. We ordered a pot of tea for 2 and 2 light lunches - a baked potato with prawns, and a small gammon with chips & salad."
"Never visited before. Good selection of plants and sundries. Only a shame that not everything priced. If I can't see a price, I won't buy."
"After going here frequently before the change of name and ownership I will now say that I will not be going here again. Very disappointed in the range of plants stocked."
"I used to love coming here, has my main supplier for my garden... I understand accidents happen, but I was disappointed afterwards and didn't receive too much of an apology."
