Tasty lunch
We had the lunch offer of a lunch and cake or crumble for £9.95 and the food was excellent. The food was hot and the staff in the restaurant worked very hard to prepare and serve the food without having to wait too long

There was no heating and the store and restaurant were freezing cold. My friends and I met up to shop and enjoy time in your restaurant but it was so cold not even the hot chocolate warmed us. The staff were freezing and all the customers felt so sorry for them. We didn’t stay too long as it was too u comfortable so how they have coped for a week I’ll never know !

Happy experience
We received great general advice from Stephen which pointed us in the right direction to research what we needed online. When we went back another day to purchase some plants we found some really good bargains, everyone was really helpful in putting our choices aside to await delivery and it was easy to arrange delivery. The delivery was made today preceded by the promised call to advise they were on their way. All in all a simple and hassle free experience.
