Mere Park Garden Centre, part of the Blue Diamond Group in Telford and Wrekin

Great selection of Christmas decorations. And various other items including a regatta shop.and a large cafe with a variety of food.

We came for the cafe, which was amazing! However, pretty sure we could also have done the whole of our Christmas shopping here too. Toy shop a particular highlight.

Beautiful displays.great restaurant. Well done

The stars are for the very helpful staff sadly let down by misleading marketing/offers. Went in today very excited as I had a 20 percent off voucher for all Christmas things yippee. Bought 4 sets of sparkly Christmas tree lights (oh dear they not Christmas lights as they are not displayed in the Christmas part of the centre) so not included in the offer?? Ok so bought a huge set of Christmas lights already discount price because I am a loyal customer and have a blue diamond card. (So not included in the offer)Voucher worthless felt a bit scammed

Much improved garden centre,taken over by Blue Diamond and refurbished to a high standard.I enjoyed the visit to this store and cafe ( lovely coffee &cake) and found the prices ok too. bought 4 small house plants £3.49 but had a reduction 3 for £9.00 next visit Dec 23 used cafe still good and good choices too. Also had to buy a Christmas cactus for £3.99. Back Dec 24 still good but now decked out with their Christmas things.

Oh dear, Blue Diamond have done it again! A twisty long route through clothing and most everything else! Haven't you learnt from Trentham Gardens complaints? Are you borderline discriminating against less able visitors? Restaurant tables are too crowded - less able out older guests are struggling to weave their way through to available seats.

Never been before but will go back in the summer. There were 3 of us on the day brought some presents for family. Then went into the restaurant, absolutely great. Had a lovely lunch definitely recommend everything there. Staff were very friendly

Didn't get what we wanted loads of Christmas stuff

Nice selection of aquatic items for all aquarium enthusiasts

Wow! What a fabulous restaurant. The food is the best I've ever seen or eaten. The service is excellent, the staff are lovely! I had takeaway salads from the deli... delicious!

What a lovely surprise....visited here recently after not being there for some years. Now 'Blue Diamond' have taken over, they have transformed it to a delightful place to shop and dine. Filled with beautiful things to enhance your home and garden. They currently have a delightful selection of Christmas decorations. You can take your dog too!!

I was surprised at the diversity of their product lines. I haven't been to a garden centre in some time and was amazed at the fact that they had clothing etc. the coffee shop was great and dog friendly which is excellent. Mere Park Garden Centre is a great place to visit for all your gardening needs. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and they have a wide variety of plants, tools, and other gardening supplies to choose from. The center is also well-maintained and clean, and it has a pleasant atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, you're sure to find something you'll like at Mere Park Garden Centre.

Was only a 'sighting lap' visit, done in prep for a proper shop and look round. Looks good anyway,

Excellent choice of garden plants, equipment x

Love this garden centre, the christmas displays this year is great.

So much variety and friendly staff

Very similar to all Blue Diamond centres. Smaller than Trentham but with just as much choice. Staff were friendly. Goods were well stocked. I'll definitely go again, with my aging parents who will find it easier to navigate than larger centres.

Great garden center similar to the Trentham lakes site without any where to go for a walk. Some great products and all stuff for your house/kitchen and garden. Lots of Christmas stuff too in November and December

Nice place and a great choice of stuff to choose from clothes to food and drink and of course all what you need for your garden

It's a really nice place to visit lots of indoor space with classy things to buy as well as a good choice of plants and everything a garden centre should have. They serve amazing food which we highly recommend. It's a popular place so their car park was almost full.

Perfect stop over pointless for lunch

Love this place. It has quality products and a lovely cafe

Lovely garden centre, had some lovely plants and garden furniture. Staff very helpful

Not been for a couple of years. I've got to say it has transformed itself, doesn't look rundown anymore, and has a great layout had a breakfast in th cafe, which is amazing well done to you all thanks

Went in for a look. Nothing else. £100 later..........

Bought a broom on Monday, sadly, broke on Thursday sweeping leaves, exchanged today, no quibble by friendly professional staff !

Some good bargains this time of year. But some of the plants seem quite expensive.

Lovely set out. Very friendly Staff. Cafe staff lovely.

An amazing place, looked really festive! The lady at the till was so friendly, she alone deserves more than 5 stars

Lovely garden centre both inside & out. Staff were just finishing off the christmas displays, so will definitely go back to see in the next few weeks 🎅. Lots of free parking too

Such a lovely garden centre which has this lovely restaurant on site. It's a great place for tea and cakes or sandwiches. The garden centre has quite a large selection of shopping other than plants too. Like clothing and house good so be prepared to shop.

Great garden centre, not masses of plants but a lovely Sunday dinner!

Ended up leaving the items I had selected from womens clothing section due to the way I was spoken to by the two sales assistants (I use that term loosely) in the clothing section. Absolutely no people skills and clearly not customer focused. Shame really as I had intended buying a load of garden supplies but I will not be shopping here again. The sales staff in the womens section need to understand how service works.

Nice place to look around baked potato I had was hard inside could of microwaved it better myself

Lovely restaurant, sad that there is no lunchtime 'specials' rather expensive too

Nice garden centre with lovely restaurant

unfortunately we didn't have a good experience, after waiting an hour for a sandwich and watching other people arriving and eating we were given a refund. Update to this review been twice since, and both time's food and service was excellent

Clothes store very good. Restaurant not so good.

Lovely garden centre and more . Nice restaurant/cafe

Very well organised, brilliant stock and the prices are competative. I would come back here.

Waited over 1 and a half hrs after we ordered meal wasn't really that good

Called in today for a coffee and a pot of tea and a toasted tea cake each both my wife and myself enjoyed the experience a little pricey but very clean and tidy and great staff

Excellent food value for money great service delicious cakes.

Loads to look at, lots of parking

A good but weird little setup of a garden centre! To get to the garden centre you have to walk through clothes, and fragrance section first!! Only a small centre but set up lovely. Big restaurant/cafe area.

Decent selection of greetings cards

Amazing selection of goods. You could spend a long time in this place. Whilst there pop in the cafe and have a relaxing cup of tea.

Excellent staff at maidenhead aquatics, very helpful, always staff about to help

Lots of lovely plants and varied clothes and homewares. Cafe is nice

Very pleasant and helpful staff, plenty of choices

Went for breakfast it was ok but items were cold. Hi Simon, the black pudding, eggs, and tomato were all cold.

Great place for plants, garden furniture, plus women's clothing and shoes, and summer hats. Nice yo gave a sit down after purchase and have a bite to eat in a beautiful conservatory area, good food and drink at good prices. Enjoyed time out.

Pleasant helpful staff, good quality products and excellent cream tea

Really good garden centre with a great Cafe! Good place to visit for a wide variety of reasons, popular with locals for food and drinks!!

Excellent products of amazing quality, this is the place to furnish your garden.

Mere Park has always been one of my favourite garden centres. You could easily spend a few hours here (unless that's just me loving shopping and eating too much 🤣). It's quite big and the food in the cafe is bloody lovely! Get yourselves there if you've never been!!

Good variety of plants. Very helpful staff.

1 star because we were waiting over 30 minutes just to get two breakfast (full English) normally it is amazing but recently it's been really bad so yeah not recommended

They stock the Kew gardens soap which is lovely

My wife bought 2 plants, a blouse and a handbag!!!!!! She was only there to accompany my niece. She loved it and is badgering me to go back.

Great place to visit, even get some lunch.Maidenhesd aquarium just across the road.

Loved our visit to Mere Park; what a beautiful garden centre with so much on offer including ladies clothing and lovely restaurant/coffee shop

Cracking garden centre with an amazing restaurant.

My tofu stir fry was delicious, but companions' sausages were a bit gristly. Super service though. Very kindly a wheelchair waa found and brought over for our use.

Staff where pleasant found everything I wanted Very good quality products

Lovely dog friendly garden centre and a really nice cafe. Good coffee!!

Cracking garden centre. Knowledgeable staff. It's a fair distance from me.... roughly an hours drive..... but it won't he the last time I visit.

Nice shopping place, several outlets plus a nice cafe.

Great Garden Centre, really good restaurant, excellent selection of plants

Good choice, much improved cafe.

Went with my husband, who is disable but we won't be able to go back the way round is not very wide for a scooter ( so we left it in the car )also the toilets are quite away from the entrance there are no cut through to get to them if you need to go . The only plus side is the bright restaurant and the lovely cake.

Superb layout. Excellent facilities for diabled access plus parking. Some cafe staff a bit unhelpful

First visit here loved looking round the garden centre and also we booked up for afternoon tea in there restaurant.. I must say I would definitely recommend it as it was delicious 😋

very nice, good plants, lots to see.

It's a lovely garden centre, there's so much to see. The staff are really friendly, and always take time for a chat. Thank you for a lovely service.

Great garden centre. Polite, helpful and courteous staff. Good range of products. Great café with homemade cakes to die for. Very clean with fantastic decor. Would highly recommend.

The most exquisite garden centre we have been to in Shropshire so far. Not a massive one, but their products are attractively displayed. The restaurant/café is also very nice, and the staff is very friendly. With a good range of plants that look healthy. Will come back whenever we get the chance.

Wide variety of choice in all departments, great cafe.

What a gorgeous place, with lots of lovely gifts

The best full English breakfast I've had in a long time. Each element was good quality and tasty. The whole thing was cooked and served brilliantly

Good garden centre with large selection of plants, related furniture and garden accessories. Large bright cafe area with a selection of on site made cakes and salads.

Dislike how you are channelled through the store, no freedom of movement.

The garden centre is fantastic. We visited on a few occasions and had breakfast in the restaurant on the last two occasions. The first time the restaurant was quite busy, but we were served our breakfasts quickly; the second time, we waited 30 minutes when it was relatively quiet and I had to go and ask for our breakfasts. The breakfasts were lukewarm at best, although still tasty. Dog friendly, which is a plus with water bowls for your dog to drink from. Great selection of goods available and a pleasant experience.

First time I've been here since it's been improved and it's laidcout quite nicely with everything displayed nicely and easy to find Lovely selection of decorative items , garden staples and I found to be not too overpriced .

Whatever you do don't go to the restaurant at 15:55 on a Sunday, you will be told by every member of staff that they close a 16:00. Very strange as I thought if a business was open till a certain time that they should in fact be serving till then. So we arrived at your restuarant after perusing the plant area, we grabbed a tray and had a look at the cakes, we were then approached by one very stern young woman, No Hello just that they did infact close at 4pm and they had to be out by 16:30. Strike 1 which in all honesty got my back up a little but the wanting of cake outweighed that so i bit my tongue and continued to the till to select our drinks, we were then greated by another one of you pleasant staff members to again be informed that they did in fact close at 4pm - She then asked us to make sure we sat in a certain area as they were trying to clean as they closed at 4 (Again told of the closing time), we informed this extreamly friendly lady (Obvious sarcasm) that we had our dog with us, she then rolled her eyes and said "well you will need to sit there then, there is nothing we can do about it" - I then looked at my mom and although the cakes looked amazing I felt my money was best spent elsewhere so advised we would leave it, i then walked back over to my basket full of flowers and questioned if i should spend any money at all with you as you are all the same entity, I did and i can only praise the kind lad that served us in the Garden centre, Pleasant and couldn't do enough for us, As i was a pro on the closing times i informed him that he shut at 4:30 and to not visit the restaurant as they shut at 4pm. I feel your staff should be taught some manners, I can assure you in my business if we started packing up our desks 5 minutes before and informing customers of our closing time that they wouldn't be in a job for very long. We are regular visitors of your restaurant and im sure losing 3 people won't make a dramatic difference to you but i can assure you i will tell all friends and family about our experience. I hope you have a lovely day and thank you for saving me money that would have been wasted in your restaurant.

First visit there the gardening side of the business looked very good but difficult to make a judgement out of season. The rest of the product range was good quality and the restaurant was excellent. Our second visit since the takeover by Blue Diamond and it has improved dramatically. The restaurant was excellent an improvement on the prior owners who were very good the range of goods was excellent and the staff seemed incredibly well trained and helpful. The standards set by Blue Diamond are still as high as ever.Todays visit was as good as ever even though they were exceptionally busy.

I had to bring some items of clothing back that were faulty , but the woman over the clothes department was very unpleasant. She spoke to me in an attacking manner that’s made me feel that I really don’t want to go mere park again.

Great garden centre with a good balance of plants and other goods

Lovely atmosphere food expensive but nice for a treat. Good range of plants looked very healthy

Meeting friends for lunch, it's an awful long walk through the whole store before we even see the restaurant! Having to use crutches or a walking stick does not encourage return visits,

Lots of choice from clothes to garden plants great place to visit

What a horrible food experience today. Used to use this restaurant regularly but not any more food has gone continually downhill from a great start. Food today was vile. Waited 45 mins ok they were busy. Paid £27 for two cold drinks and two sandwiches. Got a dry and unmelted tuna melt. Old salad and a baguette as they describe it which is actually a small crusty roll nothing more. You are losing it Mere Park which is a shame and other garden centres are stepping up!

Extensive range of products and plants.

Delicious range of cakes, afternoon tea was great. Some indoor tables are dog friendly too

A really nice garden centre with a good choice of plants. Also a lovely cafe, had the 3 cheese quiche and potato salad, which was delicious. My mom had tiffin and coffee, which she enjoyed as well.

Lovely store to browse for plants, gifts, clothes, cards and books. A really good selection and often reduced items in end of season sales. A large cafe which we didn't have time to visit on this occasion but will next time. There is a dog friendly area too for beloved pooches. Plants are good quality and there's a very large variety to choose from. Staff a little sparse on the ground but are around to help. A pleasant way to spend a few hours.

Have driven passed the garden centre many times en route to Whitchurch or Chester but never been able to call in. On this occasion we did and we were surprised at the size of the place. A bit of a maze to walk around through the indoor plants and gardening accessories to get to the outside displays. We were not disappointed with the variety of plants and shrubs stocked. The cafe was well organised, good choice of food available - hot and cold, full meals or lite bites. Would definitely recommend a visit and we will ensure we make time for a return trip.

A lovely garden centre with a wide selection of gifts and plants.

Great place everything under one roof. lovely food but not cheap for what you get, but enjoyed it. Deffently need a second visit

Very nice garden centre with large and reasonably priced stock of plants. Also a large restaurant with outdoor seating. Store also stocks clothing.
