Hildreth's Garden Centre in Chiltern

Really fab restaurant & a goldmine of things in the ironmongers

Does what it says on the tin. Good selection of stuff.

We went to lime coffee is in garden centre. I absolutely loved it

Independent. That's the most important point of all. Good plants, plenty of BBQ and outdoor seating, good cafe Really good hardware and ironmongery section too

Great assortment off all sorts as well as plants, outdoor furniture anything DIY

Small privately owned centre, really helpful staff

Great customer service very polite and always on hand to answer any questions you have.

Had lunch. Food is out of this world. Quality of sales equipment 1st class. The little gift shop is a must visit. Staff 1st class. I will visit again and again 🤗

Good stock of plants and goods. Perhaps they could hold a few more budget options on things, as some of the branded stuff can be pricy.

upped their game with garden plants. house plants limited. good range of garden accessories. cafe reasonable and airy

Really good sized garden centre. Huge selection of gas/wood BBQ Plant selection is also really extensive Worth checking out the on site care, was nice to sit and have a coffee

Went for breakfast excellent poached eggs on toast. Always get a hot coffee. Service is very good

Plants look half dead but they're still charging full price for them! The toilets are also a health hazzard. All in all it's a place to avoid in my humble opinion. I love garden centres but this one is possibly the worst one I've been to in years. Plants look sun scorched and dried out, haven't been pruned and generally look totally abandoned. I'm not sure how the owners decide on a plant care routine, but if I'm paying £12 for something I'd like it not to be half dead! Think I'll venture back to my tried and trusted place in Bourne End. Might be more expensive but the quality is superior.

Visited on Saturday 17th August Only really popped in to get breakfast on the way home from High Wycombe. We were given menus as soon as we sat down in the restaurant, there were 4, maybe 5 staff on at the time. We waited 20-30 minutes listening to the staff chatting and laughing behind the counter and in the kitchen, there was only one other customer there......we got up and walked out

Good selection of plants easy to navigate well laid out.

I had the fish it was cooked up perfect and the service was top marks

At The Limes Cafe here for the first time. Attentive, pleasant staff and many good food and drink options. A little more expensive than I'd normally pay, but the food was plentiful and nicely cooked and presented. Will definitely try eating here again.

For its small size, it packs in a lot. However, we were visiting for the cafe, which is in a separate review. We had a look around and felt there was just about enough for basic shopping, but we would go elsewhere to a much larger place for a better range. Hence, this is a good 4 stars.

Spacious place with everything I need for my garden

Has on site one over the best stocked hardware stores in the area.

Haiku review : Forge to flower bed Quirky blooms, garden treasures Blacksmith reborn Last minute gift heaven Unique finds abound within​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We have lived local for years and never known this absolute gem was here. The garden centre... stunning. The status... beautiful and incredible value for money. The shop connected... any tool or part you could ever need will be here. Pet shop... lovely.

Garden Centre Is Ok, and the Ironmongers shop is the Best For miles, looking for something and they will have it. 5 Stars for the Shop, 3 for the Garden Centre as the plant area lacks selection and quality.

Hello I am very disappointed with the two young girls behind the counter today 21st April 2024 instead of working to take people's orders out they were chatting it took them 10 mins to get our apple juice to us as all they wanted to do is chat wasn't like it was busy.

Awful food and service in the restaurant

Very helpful team. Always smiling and willing to help.

Love this place; great cafe/restaurant/tearoom with amazing home cooked food after you've browsed around the wonderful garden centre.

Still always interesting, never know what you'll find. A wide & wonderful warren of wares.

Great food. Superb hardware store and excellent garden.

Bought an Ooni pizza oven from Hildreths. Great knowledge of product, full range of products available and better pricing than is found online currently. Their range of top end BBQs is also very impressive!

Really good garden centre with a great array of goods both inside and out.. Also has a really good hardware store supplying both hardware and electrical goods.

Has a very good selection of d.i.y stuff pet food china upstairs and a garden centre the other side of the car park worth a visit

Amazing place with hardware shop where prices are often lower than the web, garden centre, café, easy parking, friendly staff. Deservedly in business for nearly 500 years. I've been buying there for 49 of them. Keep up the good work.

Always a lovely place to visit lots of facilities and lovely staff members. Great pit stop for a coffee and cake.

Staff are very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, got some plants, cafe worth a visit too, very friendly, good food

Really good garden centre, always had excellent communication and customer service from Simon and the rest of the team. Also they have a fantastic selection of EGO products! Definitely would recommend.

Lovely garden centre local to me. Has a great cafe/restaurant too serving good food 👌 a handy hardware shop and a sizable garden centre area. Caters for many needs.

I loved it,although the item l wanted was out of stock,it will not deter me from visiting them again.The staff were polite and very helpful,sadly something that is very amiss in this hectic world we live in.Well done Hildreths.

A hidden gem of a store. Sorted my Brexmas presents in their gift shoppe.

Excellent food and really helpful friendly staff

Nice place for a very civilised bite of lunch. Staff are polite and helpful, and the cakes pretty sound.

Everything i need there staff always polite

expensive but gets you out of trouble when you need something

Great choice of garden equipment and other stuff. Good place to go if needing an iron monger

Went for a gas cylinder good and prompt service and happy to help.

A nice family run business that deserves support from local residents Good range of plants, shrubs and garden supplies

Cafe - Lovely food, good service and dog friendly!

Always my "go to" place for garden pots. Good selection at reasonable prices. Stopped for lunch in the cafe, again reasonably priced, basic menu but served by cheerful, helpful staff

Very versatile but more expensive than similar places.

Excellent value and more than happy to support such a great local business. Purchase of a weber bbq far better price than other national outlets

Really friendly nice venue to enjoy a coffee and cake. We are regular visitors and enjoy our get togethers with friends here.

Food has really gone downhill of late

As we had an established garden we usually just topped up with cheap and cheerful bedding plants but we regained a 12ft by 8 ft bed and wanted to do it once, do it right. We chose Hildreths as they are family owned and that's the businesses we like to support and boy oh boy we are so pleased we did. The plants are excellent quality, clearly they had been watered that morning. I realised l hadn't checked the hardiness of one but the young man who served us had the knowledge and advice we needed.This will definitely be our go for annual top ups. Might go wild and try the cafe having seen the reviews 😁

Good choice of healthy plants, reasonably priced.

Whatever you need, you can find it here. I have never been let down. Ironmongery, kitchenware, garden maintenance, and plants. The staff are knowledgeable and provide service with a smile.

Good selection but aimed at the local population so top end, high priced, products.

Lovely cafe, but experience spoiled by over charging full price for reduced/sale veg plants.

Lovely place , good quality plants and wonderful breakfast

Hildreths is one of those great places that seems to have everything. Garden centre and hardware store. Living a fair way from the nearest town it is perfectly situated for the communities for whom a trip to town might be an expensive trip for a lightbulb, a hose clip, tomato fertilizer or a wheelie bin number. The staff are very helpful and the garden centre folk have a wealth of knowledge for the novice to the expert.

Helpful staff and reasonable prices

Always good to pick up most garden supplies. A good selection of garden machinery. Decent deals on bedding plants.

Nice garden center. But a small stock of annuals.

Excellent service and excellent staff

You can get everything you want ... but quite expensive.

A really nice well ordered and well stocked place with the ordinary and some very different things definitely worth a visit we bought garden Furniture that we didn't go for But the prices were pretty unbeatable so we had to Have a nice day there a coffee or lunch all very enjoyable

Worth a visit, has a nice eating place, nice food

Lovely large selection of plants/trees & shrubs. Cute little well stocked gift shop-friendly helpful staff. Nice tea shop,,fairly priced. Always worth a visit if passing.

//Update 03-Feb-2023// I have been welcomed earlier and later in day the day when coffee isn't available in other areas of the village. I enjoy a flat white and croissant every now and then. I come here with friends :) The tired items on the shelves seem to be less these days, though the cookshop needs some work. Excellent for getting keys cut - reliable and cheap service with friendly staff. I love that N+P fruits is now there. Good access for parking ------------------------------- I go to the Limes coffee shop generally. Nice coffee, but they still can't do the flat white art I'd like. I generally go here for coffee and I get the impression they'd prefer I was there for food. That said, it's a nice central meeting place in Prestwood and has excellent free parking. Toilets are a little bit to be desired, but ok (at least they have them!). The gift shop is ok. I tend to find that stuff in the shops here has been on the shelves for a long time and is missing a box or might break or some other problem. Cards and gift wrapping are nice. Ups and downs!

Just the place for a coffee with friends

Lovely staff, very friendly and professional. It's a rather odd place, but it has pretty much everything you could ever need.

Helpful and knowledgeable staff make a trip to Hildreths an enjoyable experience - but be warned! you may not set out with plans to purchase anything from here, but will always find something useful or unusual in the china shop, ironmongers or garden centre.

Limes cafe, very expensive! Stopped for breakfast and the full breakfast was £13, the sausage and bacon very dry, only margarine available for the toast, £2.80 for an extra sausage! The was staff friendly and the coffee was nice but I wouldn't rush back

Agood well established ironmonger

To call Hildreths a garden centre is misleading. Apart from plants and garden paraphernalia, there is an excellent hardware shop and above that a cookwares store. If ever I need a more unusual item for the kitchen they usually have it. Also a range of quality crockery and glassware with friendly service. The latest addition to the car park is my favourite fruit and veg shop N&P Fruits. Here you will only find farm fresh produce with minimal soft plastic wrappers and the best eggs available ( at least in Bucks !) You won’t be disappointed

Absolute gem of a place. Great prices, superb selection adding in the convenience of the traditional hardware store. Buy the nuts, washers etc you need, not a pack of 100 for 2. In a day and age of so much waste being able to buy what you need is the way forward again.

Hildreths is our local garden centre and we've been going there for many years. It also has separate hardware store which is very well stocked. Very good parking and friendly staff. I've dropped them one star as they are quite expensive.

Met up with a friend for coffee, ended up having brunch. Food was lovely and well presented. Staff were all happy and service was very good.

Fantastic place. Been going there for over 5 years. Our house has many many things from Hildreths. Excellent customer service and Ricahrd is knowledgable, friendly and always happy to help.

Everything to do with gardening and DIY they always seem to have from bird food to power garden tools down to a nut, bolt, screw or washer. Got something to repair and lost a small screw or bolt. Very high chance they have something to fit. The kitchen and home section is great as well with many good ideas and things you don't find in diy superstores ect. A great asset to the community.

Great shop,good staff and has all you might need from a garden and diy store.

Good place for a meal or tea and a cake. Did not get any plants which was why we went there. Plants selection was poor and they looked a bit past it.

Helped unload brilliant for delivery drivers

Good choice of good quality plants !!!!!

Found what I was looking for. A bit hot in the main building!!

Lovely garden centre. Good selection. Helpful team. Lovely café. Cute little gift shop.

It is a nice place for an occasional visit, but just been in and was rather disappointed. I saw a plant that was not marked up with a price and asked the price. The bloke behind the counter apparently looked it up and said £14.99. I walked around the centre and on the way out saw the same man putting price tags on the same plant for £10.99. I am not sure I can trust the staff In this place.

Good portion sizes, tastey food.

Great little garden centrer a bit over priced in the hardware store. The cafe on site cooks a really good meal and great to have a coffee. The plant area could do with a update to show the plant off a bit better. Staff very helpful and do all they can to help.

My partner and I visited Hildreths Garden Centre yesterday for the first time and I can safely say that it will be the last. The presentation and information about the plants was very inadequate and the staff were unfriendly, abrupt and rude. I think concerning supporting local businesses, this establishment is a very bad example which is a shame for the surrounding areas. More courtesy is definitely order of the day here.

Mandy at the Ironmongers was brilliant. I came in with a piece my window cleaning equipment which was broken. She went above and beyond to fix it. Would highly recommend Hildreths for any DIY issues

Delicious food in the café and great banter from the carry-out service - Thank you

My friendly garden and DIY center.

Brilliant brunch today, lovely being able to sit under cover in the sun 🌞 Food was delicious and great service

Friendly garden centre, good quality plants, nice cafe, gift shop and hardware shop.

We visited cafe food was good service nice and quick overall great experience 👍 we visited gift shop and found it very well stocked with many quality items. Garden Centre itself has nice plants and decent prices.

Lots of choice for everything 'garden'. Took a while to find a trolley and it handled badly with a 2 lots of compost and 3 bags of charcoal in it. They will carry out to the car but you may have to wait if it is busy.

Good garden centre. Decent range of plants. Good range of composts etc. Good prices on lots of things, but a handful of things are quite a bit more expensive than usual.

I love coming to Hildreths. I came for breakfast and a browse with a friend. The cafe looked smarter than it has done in the past and the waitress was lovely. The food was delicious and there was a good selection to choose from. We enjoyed looking through the gift shop and garden centre as usual.
