High Legh Garden Centre in Cheshire East

Lovely Garden Centre. Handy to nip have coffee and wander round

John in the garden centre is a real star! Thank you, I have been trying to get my complicated hose connections to use my power wash right for a very long time. His expertise and patience soon sorted it. I’m so grateful ☺️ Visited again on a Sunday , please change your opening times on Google as they were incorrect! Because I was too early to pay for an item I ended up having an excellent breakfast.

We love the Topiary restaurant and come most weeks with our grandson, especially for breakfast. Excellent food and staff make it a great experience. Thanks to all concerned.

Very good selection of plants. With a good cafe.

Handy garden centre, cafe with good range of food but slow service.

One of he best garden centres around, big with lots of choice, some more breadth in plants would make it even better

Please give me a ❤️ if helpful I think this garden centre has improved over the years and it's a very nice and varied garden centre with lots of choice for the home and garden. Not strictly just a garden centre as they sell everything else too from clothing, furniture, food and artificial flowers to tropical and pond fish and items and treats pets, garden rooms and sheds etc etc. Plenty of parking too. You might also want to visit their restaurant. Very 😋 Definitely worth spending a few hours there.

Nice place for a walk around well set out, but make sure you have a healthy bank balance

Great place for some retail therapy and a coffee. Pleasant cafe with friendly staff. Be sure to join their reward program and receive two hot drinks each month.

...went there with a friend who keeps koi in his garden. He needed anti-algea muti for their pond and, was successful.

Got what we wanted plus a lovely unusual colour rose

Another very good Garden centre 👍🌺💐

Love the cafe - good quality food 👌 😋. The plants are of good quality.

Fabulous garden centre so much to see and all good quality. Cafe/restaurant excellent. Good home made food. Very spacious inside. Will go again.

Nice cosy place for a brekky, we had the vegan breakfast which was a good price with all the food well cooked just how it should be, we was waiting 40 mins before we realised they had forgotten our order which I can let go as it was a one off accident which is the reason why the review is 4 stars and not 5, would recommend. I would add if the food does not arrive within 15 mins then ask the question as they were prompt as soon as we let them know they had misplaced our order.

Lots of lovely plants, gifts that you won't find in the shop's. Not forgetting the restaurant serving delicious food especially the cakes! Having a Grow card has it's advantages giving discounts on certain items! Well worth a visit.

Was a little disappointed with the cafe not having brown bread for Toasties, or skimmed milk. Good choice of cakes and hot and cold food. A large assortment of plants and shrubs.

Nice place to visit for meal or just coffee and to look round not just for plants, but gifts food and drink etc. I also like the clothes outlets

Knowledgeable garden staff always there to help and advice supported by carry to car service . Nothing is an effort for this team at High Legh , Adam , Alex Lauren in particular are experts in their own right and great to discuss your needs . The range of choice. In plants , soil treatments , tools , pots , seeds etc are vast as is the Garden furniture, stones , along with a Fantastic Range of sheds and Summerhouses , Offices , Workshops , where again Mel the building advisor is there to help . Then there’s the Restaurant- excellent choice -great menus from tea to banquet if you want and Julie is the Manager who ensure the standards are high in quality and choice . Need some socks and shirts and the cloths range for out door , walking along with shoe and boot range is good . Brought wooden carvings from here and had one specially made for me . Great day out for the family where there is a great miniature railway with a great train ride experience along with ice cream and gift shop . All in all a good day out and shopping experience.

Extensive garden centre with large cafe / restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. I had lunch there - the food was good and reasonably priced.

Fantastic garden centre. We visit so little man can go on the excellent miniature railway.

Great place to stop on a land's end to John o groats cycle ride. The lovely lady in the cafe even donated to our JustGiving page. Excellent ice cream too.

Lovely plants great to have a look around and get ideas

We had a wonderful afternoon tea today for our twin daughters' Holy Communion. Thank you so very much for everything. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We all really enjoyed ourselves x

I have mixed views about this rating…. The garden centre itself is really worth a visit. For someone Who spends a lot of time in garden centres (I am now at that age) it is good to see one that is not a large chain and actually has some Unique and different items for sale. The staff in the main centre are extremely friendly, the customer service team were very help helpful and I even engaged with a manager who could not have been More helpful!! So, why only three stars… It’s the restaurant! I have never been so disappointed. Two hot drinks and two scones, one a cream scone and the other with butter and jam. The cream was literally whipped cream!! The scone just collapsed and it was very dry and broke apart. Was a mess. Then we got charged 65p per butter portion as a ‘breakfast extra’. I had joined the loyalty scheme and asked about my two free hot drinks the guy at the till said I must have had Them already. I tried to explain this was the first but he didn’t seem interested and just wanted to serve the next person. I will revisit soon and I will give the restaurant another shot - if it was a one off - I will re-review. I would still say, if you like a good garden centre - then this one is worth a visit… just avoid the scones!

Lovely place, & you can chill and have a coffee. 🫡

Really nice garden centre. Dog friendly (except the food area but they have nice outdoor seating for that) nice range of both indoor and outdoor plants as well as garden, gift and pet items. Even has an aquatic area for those who keep fish and aquatic pets.

Nice garden centre with clothing stores,food shop and pleasant cafe.

Great selection of everything. Cafe wonderful food excellent. Staff friendly and efficient

Nice café, good food. Seems more popular than the rest of the shop. Lots of things here can be purchased cheaper elsewhere, sadly. But that is ever true of garden centres, hence the cafés!

Brilliant place to enjoy gardening ideas and food.

Nice garden centre we had a breakfast here came out warm again. Don't think I'll be having breakfast here again. But the service was good. In the cafe and the garden centre.

Great garden centre, plenty of choice, more reasonably priced than a nearby garden centre

Friendly and helpful team, nice café, great plant selection.

Lovely place, gorgeous items, as little pricey but definitely worth a visit

This large garden centre with cafe, clothes, pavers shoes and cotton traders. Nice plants but very expensive compared with others visited.

Coffee was nice my boss had a bacon roll. Just one tiny dry slice of bacon on small roll. I had Victoria sponge which was stale.

Been going for breakfast a ling time at the cafe but just lately the breakfast has been terrible, cold and not freshly cooked sorry to say as we enjoy going there

Lovely cafe area, good food, service on drinks very slow need more staff at busy times.

Nice garden centre, albeit a little over priced

Lovely morning trip for Easter Sunday. We had a light lunch in the cafe. Large selection of outdoor plants and reasonably priced. Large indoor shopping area, outdoor furniture, indoor plants, fish shop and lots more. Really easy to get to, large car park, large cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

Fantastic place to visit great little train ride for the kids ,nice food in the cafe & great aquarium to look around every inseason plant you could want just a really lovely place to visit

Great garden centre with a very nice restaurant

Large garden centre Cafe Clothes

Went to High Legh Garden Centre with my wife purpose of buying plants/soils, etc. Queued up for 15 minutes for a coffee and tea. Poor young girl serving drinks totally overwhelmed by sheer numbers and the till crashing. Then spoken too by a surly older women (with no people skills at all) and asked, "Is there something you want?" I told her I was still waiting for my drinks. Talk about rude. I had a Drill-Sergeant like her in the 1960's!! To top it all, the young assistant had forgotten to put coffee into my cappuccino! Expensive hot milk. My wife and I spend a lot of money on our gardens but will not be stopping at High Legh again. This not the first time that I have complained about the attitude of some of the older female staff. Generally the younger ones are lovely and polite. Pay the young members of staff double and get rid of the surly older ones!!

After my review in February I was contacted by high Leigh garden centre to get in touch and talk about my comments, So I sent them an email and heard nothing back Not very good customer service

Great food and beautiful setting.

Lovely garden centre with a fantastic cafe. Extensive menu, quality produce and plenty of seating. Highly recommended.

Over rated im afraid, restaurant, poor quality food, layout is laid out poorly, choices on the food section disappointing, and we found some of the staff lacking in knowledge of products. It is all simple to rectify with the right guidance

Took my mum for an early mother's day afternoon tea, we were a little early as my mum is in a wheelchair and I wanted to get her settled in a chair while I went back and ordered the food. They were very accommodating to our dietary needs, they went above and beyond. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend. Will definitely return Thanks Again :)

Went for Sunday lunch, been loads of times and the food has always been perfect, But as I was eating mine I tasted the Yorkshire pudding was cold, my partner said her's was frozen, We told the staff who although they didn't apologize changed the Yorkshire pudding straight away and we were happy with that I had to have the day off work today because I have not been off the toilet all night In future it would be nice of the kitchen staff to check that everything is defrosted and piping hot

Food is good sometimes drink are ok

Only went to Aquarium there, bought some fish, plenty of variety to choose from, tropical and cold watet, will go again

Pleasant enough, but the whole place appeared to be swarming with affluent 'Cheshire Set' types and if you're not adorned from head to toe in tweed/Barbour, then you can become a little conspicuous and a potential target to be run over in the car park by one of their vanity vehicles. If you're lucky enough to make it to the front doors for having the audacity of not looking like an Esther Mcvey voter, I heartily recommend the bacon sandwich 🥪 .It can be consumed with the added bonus of dining amongst some of the great chatterati responsible for electing the architect of austerity.

Lots of lovely things here, very well stocked, various other mini shops inside too, cotton traders included. Good size car park, there is a cafe there but I didn't visit so can't comment, it was very busy.

Very good vegetarian breakfast.

Nice place to look at plants and have breakfast. Lady at breakfast counter is so friendly and nice.

Was expecting better to be honest. Had a jacket potato which was on the cusp of being cooked through, disappointing. Flat white was quite weak too, I don't get why these places can't do a decent flat white, if you're struggling to make one, Google it!

Great visit just before Christmas, picked up some gifts, enjoyed the singing reindeers, and a lovely lunch in the restaurant

Very quiet, lots to look at indoor and outdoor. There is a little train for children too

Just having a Afternoon tea for two. £30 and worth a heck of a sight more.. it's 😍 gorgeous... we are stuffed.. on our 3rd filtercoffee and its refillable superb.. staff are fantastic.. thank you

Lovely place to meet up for coffee and cake and an amazing place to browse and buy. The drive there is pretty too if you take the back roads 👍

Lovely garden center not too bad to go round. Always call in there on the way back from other places as it's on my way home and it's lovely to see what they have in that new

Great garden centre, especially at Xmas. Fantastic displays, great gift ideas. We'll worth a visit.

Dad loves me to take him to High Leigh garden centre for a look round and lunch. The staff are lovely and the cafe is fabulous .

Paid a visit for a look around. Found some interesting stuff which gave us food for thought. Had a snack which was very nice. Worth the visit..

Lovely place to visit, and the food is excellent

Loved this place. So much on offer. I couldn't resist buying something for my window that was in the sale.

Really nice has a brilliant cafe.and the garden centre is nice.

Love the variety of things and good decent prices

We arrived in time for breakfast at the cafe. By the time staff had finished chatting to customers we were told we were too late to order breakfast by 2 minutes. Seemed the kitchen couldn't be bothered. Ruined our visit.

Brilliant service and food Friendly staff French toast, bacon and maple syrup so delicious Breakfast good too Highly recommend

Great place. Amazing staff, very friendly! Well done guys 💯🎉🤗

Food in restaurant is always great .but the cobwebs on lights and in ceiling the chairs with food and drink on the fabric isn't hood the walls need painting .the staff and so very nice

Massive and very child friendly with the little train rides.

Aquatic staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Fish looked well cared for and healthy. Coffee shop had plenty of seating for a reunion with 10 family members.

Wonderful breakfast with Santa today. The whole event was well organised and the staff were as friendly as ever. The food was very good and there were some fun activities for the children. Santa took time to talk to everyone and read a lovely story before giving out some very nice gifts.

We go once a month for breakfast and use our drinks vouchers, the gardners breakfast is usually excellent but not today 21 December. On both breakfasts Fried Eggs were hard and rubbery, Sausage overdone, bacon indifferent, beans cold and toast (it was more like a slice of bread) Not upto standard. I wanted to complain there and then but my wife doesn't like a fuss. If they don't know how bad it was they will never improve

always a great afternoon out and cafe is excellent

Often in the garden centre but not eaten in the café before. Went today for lunch and really disappointed. It seems they don't serve tomatoes on or with anything! All the toasties come with caramelised onions. We wanted a cheese & tomato toastie but none so asked for cheese and fresh onion toastie but they only offer caramelised... infact only caramelised onions with all toasties; even the ham toastie and the tuna toastie.. and every sandwich. We had lattes with our toasties and although my hubby only walked from the counter to the table with them, they were cold. So cold that we only managed to drink half a cup before it was TOO cold to drink! Lovely place but the menu needs tweeking and the addition of fresh salad items as basic as tomatoes and onions for the sandwiches etc would improve the offerings no end!

I did not stay long.It was too far too busy for me. It was probably because it was coming up to Christmas. There were not enough disabled car parking bays.Even the normal car parking space was full.It is a nice place.I would say it has changed a lot since I was last there last. More toys,ornaments, candles,books,cards,food,than gardening stuff... There are toilet facilities and a cafe.The downside is you have to go all the way around to the tills. I only saw 2 tills. Could do with wheelchairs for people people like me.

Brilliant place lovely staff beautiful food

Excellent place to shop good variety of choices at resonable prices.

Took the kids to the 'breakfast with Santa' event. It was very nice. The staff, food and entertainment was good. The kids loved it. Top marks for Santa, he was great. We then walked around and had a look at the store. It was very well presented and clean. Very nice garden centre.

Maravilloso! Gran variedad de muchos productos, para está época tienen atracciones y funciones para los niños; puedes ir en el tren en miniatura y ver a santa y recibir una bolsa de regalos, además de ver mucha decoración navideña, me encantó!

Very well worth visiting beautiful displays, sorry we did not take photos next visit we will

Really enjoyed, had lovely food

Great choice of items. lovely cafe..

Lovley garden centre great staff

A return visit for me and a far better experience. Took Dad for lunch, my fish goujon sandwich was lovely, the fish was crispy and hot (a must for me as don't like luke warm food that's supposed to be hot !) My dad settled on the cheese and chutney sandwich and said it was great. The chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside 😋 All finished with nice hot coffees. The restaurant was busy but was clean. Thanks again

Lovely garden centre, with loads of Christmas gifts under £20, initial perception was that the cafe is not cheap, £9 for a toastie, however very good quality food and well worth the higher than expected prices. I was disappointed that the train ride and visit to Santa's grotto was £5 per head regardless of age (2+), whilst I can understand the cost for children as they receive a bag of sweets, I think it's a little heavy charging adults the full amount also.

My grandson loves the railway. Always friendly

TERRIBLE BREAKFASTS We have been coming High Leigh for years, and the standards have gone down.Breakfasts arrived on cold plates, hard bacon, overcooked black pudding, sausage was hard.Looked like items had been cooked earlier in the morning and left on a griddle.We mentioned this to the waitress and she did she would speak to the kitchen.Then our friends on the next table received the same condition of foods It was a waste of time explaining such poor quality breakfasts.Will not be returning for food, and will eat in Lymm.

Some good things, I feel some are overpriced

Great garden centre, you been to one in the area you been to them all but this one is nice and nicely decorayed for chirstmas

Visited my my brother and his girls. The Minature Alpine Village is incredible, the singing reindeer are worth a visit just to see them. Lots of Christmas gifts to choose from.

We venture to the garden centre monthly for a sandwich cake and coffee.Noticed that the sandwiches(tuna) have changed in presentation now..they were formerly served on a slate with salad chrisps and some relish.It was particularly busy the day we went in,but the sandwiches had been pre prepared I'm sure.Despite being packed in there it had arrived at the table within less than a minute of sitting down,hence thinking it was ready to go..it almost appeared to have been under something warm.The chrisps were dreadful,the bread dry on the top,and the salad looked like it had been prepared earlier that day..We didn't complain because it was clear they had their hands full..But disappointing when you pay for food that isn't up to standard .

HAD A LATE LUNCH /EARLY TEA.PACE WAS FULL BUT SERVICE WAS GOOD. food AMPLE --TOOK SOME HOME FOR LATER

Awful food. Staff not friendly. I had coronation chicken baguette. Stale. Side salad limp. Crisps slightly soft not as crispy as should be. Coronation chicken tasteless. Not much filling on the baguette. Very dry. Food in my honest opinion was As if pre made and stood waiting in the kitchen. Expensive. I would really avoid. Go Bents garden centre for a better experience.

Lovely place ,lovely food was perfect although a tad expensive x
