Redfields is ‘simply the best’
Redfields in Church Crookham is ‘simply the best’ Garden Centre. It has a great selection of plants, shrubs, water features, seating, everything you could ever need for your garden.
There is clothing, shoes & boots, toys, & gifts as well as a well stocked food hall.
The restaurant is amazing & can highly recommend for breakfast/lunch/afternoon tea or just a quick coffee.
I am a regular visitor and lucky to live a short distance from this amazing Garden Centre.

We always make a stop at the Blue Diamond when in Cardiff and think it’s a great store.
We particularly like their cafe and their staff are also very polite and helpful.
We think Nick Denslow, the Cardiff Restaurant Supervisor, needs an extra mention. Nick is a bright, positive member of staff who goes out of his way to ensure you have what you require.
Nick is ready to answer any questions about the food and provide extra help when needed.
We think he is a great ambassador for your stores and a credit to the company!

Don't buy third party products from them as they don't manage their suppliers very well.
Ordered & paid £15,000 Pergola with 14 week lead time. Still waiting 24 weeks later. Communication was poor I had to keep contacting them. Blue Diamond had my money almost 6 months. Profuse apologies but eventually there are only so many sorry's acceptable when there is no delivery of what was paid for in advance. Blue Diamond promised to keep on top of this but failed every time & it was me contacting them. Was offered a £1,000 goodwill gesture, which Blue Diamond subsequently took back when I eventually cancelled order through broken promises & no pergola, due in May but still not here mid August. Don't buy third party products from them as they don't manage their suppliers very well.

Good afternoon, Jackie Lambert,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review on Trustpilot.
We are genuinely disappointed that, following the unfortunate delays and difficulties you experienced with your pergola order, you ultimately felt you had no choice but to cancel your purchase.
We hope you were able to find a suitable replacement pergola and that you are able to enjoy your outdoor space as you had originally planned.
Kind regards,

What a fantastic time we had.
What a fantastic time we had.
I took my 7 year old Great Nephew to the Animal Encounters event at Beckworth, Mears Ashby. Firstly the price was unbelievable £6.99 for the child only, I mean how great is that, you were not being ripped off. These days to be able to take a child somewhere and the adult did not have to pay as well, 1st class as far as im concerened.
The presenter was just great with the children, they got to hold a Python, Tarantula, Meer-Cats, Mongoose, Pigmy Hedgehogs, to name but a few of the animals, every child their was not left out and all had a turn.
Definitely please hold the event again. Fantastic time. My Great Nephew was so excited with all the animals he saw and asked can we go back tomorrow. Bless him.

Good morning, Mary Lancaster,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review.
I am absolutely delighted to hear that you and your 7-year-old great-nephew had such a wonderful time at our Animal Encounters event at Beckworth Emporium. It sounds like he had an amazing experience meeting and holding such a fascinating variety of animals!
I am particularly pleased to hear that the presenter made sure all the children were involved and had the opportunity to take part. Creating memorable experiences for our younger visitors is something we really value.
It is really wonderful to know that your great-nephew enjoyed it so much that he was asking to come back the very next day, what a lovely compliment!
Thank you also for your kind comments about the value of the event. We really appreciate your support and hope to welcome you both back to Beckworth for another fantastic event in the future.
Kind regards,

Super experience at Cardiff Garden Centre
Super experience. My wife and her friend spent 4 hours at the garden centre as there was so much to see. They looked at all the plants, garden ornaments, and pots, before going inside for a very tasty light lunch. They then went to look at the clothing and bought a few items, before looking at all the gifts and home furnishings and bought a few more items. All in all, they said it was an excellent afternoon out.

I have visited this location before after visiting the Cambridge American Military Cemetery and decided to return with my parents.
There was plenty of staff if needed for queries. The shop was clean and tidy. Plenty of products to suit all tastes.
We stopped at the cafe for a coffee and met Chris the manager. He was very friendly and approachable. We will be returning soon.

I visited Hereford garden centre…
I visited Hereford garden centre yesterday; in the garden aera I got very nice and helpful service from a young man, he brought the garden furniture I wanted to the till, later on helped loading the chairs onto my truck.
However, my experience in your restaurant was quite negative. The overall ambiance was quite depressing and basic, no nice atmosphere at all, two ladies were wiping and mopping the floor in between seated customers (at 3.30 pm!!), everywhere chairs were just shoved away, nothing orderly or inviting.
Also the tea I ordered was served with a mismatch of cup and saucer, the lid on the teapot did not fit, and worst of all the meringue cake I ordered, was most disgusting and old and fell apart because it was wet all over (from the freezer??). Nothing to do with meringue at all, for sure.
I paid 8 Pounds for tea and cake - money badly spent !
I will definitely not visit this restaurant again.

Good morning Christina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback via Trustpilot for us.
Firstly, we are delighted to hear your positive comments about our furniture colleague at Hereford Garden Centre. It is lovely to hear how helpful and accommodating he was throughout your visit.
We are very sorry, however, to hear about your experience in the restaurant and particularly the cake you were served. Had we been made aware at the time and given the opportunity, we would of course have been happy to replace the cake for you.
We are again sorry that your overall experience was disappointing, and we genuinely hope you may decide to give us another try in the future so we can provide you with the experience you would expect from us.
Kind regards,

Returning a faulty item.
Recently (14/08/2026) had to return a faulty item (6 months old). My experience with the staff on the Furniture Department and Customer Service I felt was extremely poor! The staff member on the Furniture Department was in general unhelpful regarding replacing the item, I felt I was being inconvenient in having to make the return, not even a sorry for the situation. Customer Service the same the staff member was abrupt and blunt with question's regarding the purchase.
