I went to brookside garden centre today with the oaks college and the class I think it feels like the first time I have been with the oaks college I'm new to the oaks college We had a look at the animals there and the fish And saw the christmas decorations they were amazing I really like your christmas decorations that you have in your garden centre I think my best part of going there today was seeing the fish and seeing the outside of the garden centre Everything is very lovely about brookside garden centre You have a very lovely garden centre The staff that work there are very kind and very lovely and polite and wonderful and amazing This garden centre gets a 5 out of 5 star rating by me 5 stars all around Hope you enjoy reading my google review by me Have a lovely rest of your day

This garden centre is like a tardis. It looks small on the outside but when you go in, it's an aladins cave of just about everything you can imagine for your garden needs. Friendly staff. It's a shame they don't have a loyalty system like many other good garden centres. Nice little cafe too. Well worth a visit. I like thier pre planted indoor plants. You can always find something unique.

One of our favorite cafe's for lunch, all the staff are lovely and work brilliantly as a team with quick friendly service. The food on the menu is excellent and a very good price.

Very nice would recommend. We went to the cafe which is clearly very popular. The wife tells me prices have shot up but I felt we received value for money especially the Jungle Box for kids and I enjoyed helping with the colouring book. One criticism. I liked the display by the entrance to the cafe but our 3 year old can't read he can't touch it and whatever you might think he is always going to be quicker than us. We tried our best to keep him away but it is fascinating to someone like him.

Amazing! Simply Amazing displays. Superb staff, knowledgeable and friendly- one the most stylish Christmas displays and then you discover there is a whole further section at the back. Kids love it, just the best dressed xmas trees. As well as Christmas decorations I was able to find a couple of Witty cards and a gift from the gift section. This is a friendly sized garden centre - big enough to have great choice but not oversized like some centres that make you feel you have to walk 200 yards for the WC.

Always liked this Garden Centre but was amazed when i visited on Saturday and was going to buy some Christmas Decorations. I picked 4 gold and 4 red of the same decoration and when i looked at the price the gold were £2.50 and the red were £3.50 (a 30% difference). i queried this with a member of staff and was told i should expect to pay more as there was a premium for red decorations. I have never heard anything like this before. Needless to say all the decorations were put back on the shelf

Been here a few times, becoming a regular visitor mainly for the cafe, mostly for the ‘Mr Whippy’ type of ice cream that they have there. Also wonderful sausage sandwiches too! Shop is decent but the plant section outside (apart from shrubs, lots of them) always seems a bit low stocked, maybe that is just me visiting at the wrong times. Carpark’s a bit tight but always able to find a space. Cafe though, easily one of the best for quite a distance around. :)

The garden centre itself is brilliant. A wide range of products across the board, a really comprehensive garden centre. I shopped mainly for indoor plants and the range was exceptional! The only reason I haven't given 5* is because of the café located within the garden centre. The staff were lovely and service was quick and with a smile! However the food was sub standard, sausages were dry to the point they tasted past their use by date, very dry scrambled egg and very soggy toast, all could have been much better. The 2for1 hot drinks before 10am on weekdays is a nice idea. Will be returning for the garden centre without doubt but maybe not the food. Edit: Revisited this garden centre today in a bit of a rush as I arrived 5 minutes before closing time. Prior to arriving I called up to enquire about the availability of a product which an extremely helpful member of staff checked whilst he spoke to me on the phone and confirmed they stocked what I needed. When I arrived a member of staff was by the door and directed me straight away to where the compost I needed was. Again, staff were very helpful and friendly and the garden centre alone is worth 5*.

I recently dined at Kathmandu Restaurant for the fourth time, and once again, it was a marvellous experience. The food consistently impresses with its rich flavors and authentic Nepalese dishes. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Highlights from our visit included the succulent Chicken Tikka Biryani and flavorful curries, which were cooked to perfection. Each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I highly recommend Kathmandu Restaurant for anyone looking to indulge in fantastic food in a delightful setting. I can’t wait for my next visit! Great food. Great service. My fourth time here with the family and it won’t be our last.
