A very good garden centre with a large stock of everything you could need for your garden and a lot more besides, it's also got an excellent café with lovely meals cooked to a high standard and served by the very friendly and helpful staff. Both the garden centre and café are keenly priced with plenty of on-site parking and spaces for disabled people along with toilets in the café it's got easy access, everything you could need, and more. 👍

It was OK. The mai reason was we wanted to visit the cafe. The cafe had limited options for breakfast however they were nice. The garden centre had everything you would expect.

Two adult meals and a toddler had food. Pot of tea for two.. quite expensive for what we had £32. A pie meal is now £9.99 with stodgy overfried chips, £7.99 for cheese oatcake Garners garden centre only charge £4.80. Thing is once I paid at the til I should if just cancelled my order. Overhaul I spent £45 with items from the garden centre too. I have unfortunately had two tummy surgeries and I forgot to take a food container. I asked for a piece of tin foil so I could take my food away as I struggled to eat it. I was told no as its against policy. The manager Nick said no as it would be classed as a take away and to do that it involves too much paper work with health & safety. I only asked for a bit of tin foil. He said its not a takeaway like Mc Donalds, and maybe I should of had a snack. But they don't have snacks only a few sparce cakes. When I eat out due to my condition everyone has been so polite& helpful , in cafes ,& restaurants, unlike Northwood.. I still like to be able to socialise with family and friends. There is no alternative child menu or small plates menu to chose. Which is strange as the garden centre have beautiful singing reindeer and an array of perfect Christmas displays for children and adults to thoroughly enjoy. Simple I will take my money to a nice friendly cafe like Mados or Garners in Newcastle-under-Lyme, where you get a lovely warm welcome. Or Mc Donald's as the manager Nick hinted !

Lovely little garden centre fully accessible for wheelchairs. Lovely cafeteria which serves meals, drinks and a range of home baked cakes.the food was reasonable, home cooked and delicious. Disabled parking and toilets available and plenty of parking besides. The garden centre isn't particularly big and doesn't have a huge choice of plants but it's enough to purchase plants for a small area. Good range of gifts and cards available along with a range of seasonal goods.

I am very disappointed in the garden centre which has been such a helpful and friendly place . They now open only 10 until 4 , no longer can you pop in on the way home from work or school . They no longer deliver!!! so don’t think about buying an olive tree or a patio set .

The café is clean tidy and cheerful with the opportunity to dine outside if it ever stops raining. The food was true British style eating with a good choice of home made pies. There were other foods available and I had chicken breast in barbecue sauce. Yes it was tinned peas and carrots just as other contemporary neighbouring establishments serve. We ate all of our food and went back for a delicious cake. Our tea was served in a ceramic tea pot with ceramic cups as they should be in the area of North Staffordshire. We will return and enjoy another meal.

Went here to buy a birthday card this morning at 09:00 as per the opening times advertised on here. The gaffer said they were not open until 10 and I told him I only wanted a birthday card. He told me, No! as he was sorting out storm damage, the same storm I have just cycled 3 miles through to get to the shop. Worst customer service ever. I told him the hours advertised on here and his response was, Oh dear. No sign of any apology or reassurance to update the mistake. Trip Advisor, kindly update the opening hours on here as they do not seem interested.

We visited enroute to the Peak District wildlife park. Staff had already pushed tables together for us in the coffee shop. Impressed by the moderate pricing for a main meal and generous portions of the salad, Staff worked hard to serve the addition of 13 people to the queue and were pleasant and helpful. The Garden Centre was well stocked but not so large that we were distracted from the need to move on to our next destination fairly speedily! Would recommend.

Small but friendly garden centre, currently overstocked with Christmas trees outside and Christmas decorations inside. Cafe on site with reasonable coffee. Three of us visited and as it was a cold miserable day we thought we would forgo the cakes which looked very nice and opted for a hot sausage roll. Big mistake, the sausage rolls were microwaved to extinction.

Cold chips, returned, the waitress took back in the kitchen, removed the chips from the meal, left the meal sitting 10-15minutes, then put the new chips back onto the original food, pie and veg, walked to the front serving area of food and poured gravy over it 'again' after the first time, to hide giving us back the meal of 20minutes prior and served us. My mum didnt eat hers, I stupidly tried to rectify the meal and day out seeing my mum from months before living elsewhere, my fault going here. Ruined day. And the attitude of the girls, I wouldn,t employ them, the larger girl of the two,s face was in contempt of my complaint. Refunded one meal due to me asking not offered but not both. I ate 1/3 of mine to try and resolve our day but even the chips 2nd time were not cooked enough. That night I had stomach cramps and severe back pain and needed the doctors the day after. Just relieved my mum 78 didnt eat hers. I rung the management to discuss and he said the girls musthave been muddled up that it wss the same meal given back, but it was very much purposely done. Wi never go again, its gone very down hill.

Food was not 5 star, though for me and my family it was exactly what the doctor ordered: generous portions, good tasting fare and, ....the price was very reasonable. Most of all, the chef and his daughter were so friendly, that we had a good natter with them were he explained some of the acts and singers performing there at times. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Btw, a bottle of wine was included within the total price of £48.- feeding 4 of us! Thank You, Chef
