Santa’s grotto DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY…

Santa’s grotto DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY star off with a load on teenage elf’s that really don’t want to be there an started talking a load of rubbish , then Santa’s helper not even dressed up at all .. the there’s Santa one of the worst I’ve ever seen his beard kept falling down his shoes wasn’t shoes an just covers he just seemed to not want to be there the goes on to say oh that’s an expensive present you want .. if Santa an the elf’s are meant to make things it shouldn’t be expensive that’s not something Santa says to a child . What a waste of time a money not worth it as all . Other years were way better this year was definitely don’t on a budget £50 to see Santa on something never again I’d rather of thrown the money down a drain … oh and the reindeer food saw dust with glitter in wth atleast use grain or seeds or oats silly saw dust what a load of rubbish …. Wouldn’t recommend to anyway at all I might as well dressed up as Santa myself !!! Would have put better effort in to it .

Went today to santas grotto!

Went today to santas grotto!
Awful! I know it was cheap but why was santas beard not even on his face!!
There was a ‘niceometer’ and the poor elves asked the kids if they been on nice list and to look at the niceometer… that was a picture. I’m surprised my kid didnt call them out on the fact it did not move.
Santas beard was hanging off his face like the scene in home alone! Awful!

Garden Centre Good but Expensive. Loft Cafe not worth the money.

Used to visit Garden Centre more than I do now. Like most other places like this, products are getting more expensive. Have a good selection of Christmas stuff and le the way they display their string lights.
But it the last time I visit their Cafe called The Loft. Cafe used to do a really good Club Sandwich. Over £5 for a piece of cake, over £3 for my coffee.
No more custom from me.

What has happened to the aquatics at hollybush they are disgusting and dirty

I went to hollybush aquatics yesterday to purchase some fish for my newly cycled fish tank,All I can say is I was shocked to say the least,what I was seeing was nothing short of disgusting, those poor fish the conditions they were being kept in was astonishing, THe tanks were all dirty covered in brown slimy sludge,to the point in some tanks it was hard to see what was in there.Now I've been going on and off to the aquatics for years with my dad they were always the best ,After not going for some years and returning to fish keeping I though they would be the same as always,how wrong was I, what has happened ,I'm absolutely shocked they used to always be so clean with healthy fish ,not a chance I was getting
Any fish from there,come on hollybush aquatics pull you fingers out and clean your tanks for those poor fish

The minted lamb Sunday lunch was small

The minted lamb Sunday lunch was small, the vegetables were obviously straight out of the freezer, not at all impressed with the tasteless food. The roast chicken was obviously frozen, not fresh. Used to be a good place for Sunday lunch, but won't be coming back.
