Notcutts Wheatcroft in Rushcliffe

Do you know we really enjoy our visits to the Street Kitchen. Why not write a review? I’m sure it will be well received. Thank you I will, what’s your name by the way? So here goes, this is for Michell and all the fantastic staff at Nottingham Nottcuts. Without a shadow of doubt we thoroughly enjoy our week by week visits. A wander through the Garden section, occasionally including Maidenhead Aquatics now and again. Then all the other luxury goods on sale in the many available of expertise. Thankfully Season by Season their saleable goods change so much so we know exactly where to go to buy just what we want along side what we need. Anyway back to the Street Kitchen. Usually we will have a pot of tea each and an extra pot of hot water along with a cake of our choice, mine often being a fruit scone and butter. Whilst my wife will more often than not choose a triple chocolate muffin. Occasionally we might splash out and each have a portion of chips. The very best part of our visit is sitting amongst all the other visitors to the Street Kitchen. Each family quietly chatting and enjoying their food laughing and joking about this and that. Occasionally Grandchildren and children on school holidays join their respective families. The Street Kitchen is a quality venue and I feel completely at my ease every time we visit. The words happiness and contentment springs to mind. As another compliment which you all deserve are your staff. Whoever the customer whatever the choice of food it all arrives well cooked and served to perfection. Thank you one and all for every one of our visits so far. Austin and Ann Shaw

A nice garden centre with a good mix of plants and shrubs. The prices are higher than a nursery. The signage around the garden centre is slightly lacking and there can be long queues at the tills. Be aware items purchased from the aquatic centre need to be paid for there, though the signage is at a low level (knee height) and easy to miss if someone is standing in front of it. We wasted time queuing at the main till and received no real acknowledgement when we fed this back to two separate members of staff so I'm unsure if they are interested in improving the customer experience.

Beautiful centre and eating area to cut a long story short, avoid at all costs for any easy life and find better food elsewhere. Waited interminably for a simple snack that was disgusting, cold and inedible very expensive for what it was, waited 30 mins for a snack horrible waitress being dismissive and rude same employee being offhand with elderly visitors tables were full of used crockery full of nice people, but will never, ever revisit it or recommend. Most staff are lovely such as the managers and coffee station ladies, but I just got bad and chaotic vibes from the get go it made a hot day so much worse, steer well clear 😞plus two of the toilets were out of order

I wanted some advice on very expensive plants that I bought from here previously when I had lots of help and the garden staff were great. This time 2 years on, I needed further advice as two of the plants aren’t doing so well and the person I spoke to was extremely abrupt and quite rude. This is a very expensive garden centre and the plants are high quality. Two years ago I spent around £1,500 on plants and pots to create a hedge, I went there because I knew the plants would be good quality. I don’t expect to be spoken to like an idiot

We've been here many times, but this time was a little dissapointing. Being a busy Easter Friday may not have helped. Ordering lunch was straightforward, and plenty of choice on seating. Decafe tea was good. The mixed beans jacket potato was dissapointing. Small potato, only just warm, not enough bean filling, dry potato but did have a fair salad portion. No salad dressing. I went upto the till/drinks counter to ask for mayonnaise or salad dressing and was ignored. Other customers were being served. I waited like a lemon for a short time, then had to interrupt the drink making staff member who was very helpful and explained the salad dressing comes from the kitchen. With a just warm jacket potato I wasn't prepared to wait around any longer. They should make clear on ordering that dressing is optional. The member of staff did find some mayonnaise, apparently it is popular at busy times. We don't recomm the Lazy day snacks. They are dry and taste very different to non vegetarian/vegan options. Also the millionaires shortbread has Palm Oil as an ingredient. The staff are friendly.

The Street Kitchen cafe are amazing. I emailed ahead to ask for a discreet table as we would be talking about some business content, and they arranged a small sode room for us and even decorated it out with some plants. They really went above and beyond. The staff were extremely friendly, the vibe lovely and chilled and great coffee!! (The food also smelt amazing but we weren't there long enough to eat)

We go every week , love the place and food is delicious with good variety of cakes & scones

Nice garden centre. Very busy at weekends.

Fantastic garden centre! The staff were extremely helpful, and even helped me get my compost out to the car

Entras en un servidor virtual vacío y tienes que leer el menú de la pared. No hay comida para tentarte a lo largo del servidor. Elegí salchicha y puré, lo que resultó ser un error. Las salchichas estaban lejos de chisporrotear, el cañón tenía trozos duros de cebolla de primavera a través de él, los guisantes eran como toros y la salsa estaba directamente fuera de un frasco, insípido con polvo sin disolver. Oh Dios mío.

Good well stocked garden centre. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Has a nice café which was a bonus.

Worst experience. Waited an hour for food 4x gardener breakfasts that never arrived! Later asking for a refund this old lady/ manager was very rude not giving good service even though they were in the wrong. You would expect at least some sort of manners after not receiving the food you ordered but they gave none of that and she just gave us a look like we did something wrong. Absolutely disgraceful... Not coming back go this place and you shouldn't go either...

Lovely couple of hours spent looking at beautiful plants for our garden, then a pot of tea, a cheese scone, and a naughty bit of lovely carrot cake, then a walk around all the indoor areas., it's worth a visit

Visitamos para una mirada alrededor y café. Puedo recomendar el café que era de excelente aspecto y sabor. Ilona hizo el café y la obra de arte era fantástica y tenía un sabor genial. Gracias.

Lovely garden centre and cafe and a great place for assorted goods

Personal amable, amable y servicial. Comida excelente! Buena relación calidad-precio. Era mi primera vez visitando Notcutts Wheatcroft y yo estaba un poco perdido con respecto al pedido de comida. El personal era tan encantador y explicó cómo funcionaba todo allí y lo que tenía que hacer. La comida era tan buena!

Generally very good, and stocks quite a few plants which are unavailable elsewhere. The prices can be quite reasonable for some things, but the tools are ridiculously expensive, often exceeding the RRP. But apart from that one issue, it’s a good store.

Lovely shopping, great café and the best range of plants

La elección del centro de jardinería y la calidad de las plantas es excelente, así como los muchos artículos que se ofrecen en otros lugares. Mi amigo y yo tuvimos un café y charla, luego un buen vistazo alrededor de identificar algunas cosas que compraríamos después del almuerzo y justo antes de irnos. El almuerzo era bueno y a un precio razonable. Todo el personal que encontramos fue amable. Éramos conscientes del límite de cuatro horas y tuvimos que volver a poner rápidamente nuestras compras ya que había largas colas en la caja. Lástima, no estropeó unas preciosas 4 horas 😀😀

Conocí a mi cuñada aquí recientemente y tuvimos un buen vistazo alrededor del centro antes de disfrutar de un almuerzo maravilloso y ponerse al día después de no verse por un tiempo. Entonces decidimos tomar té y pastel y así nos quedamos un poco más - pero no eran conscientes de las restricciones de tiempo en el aparcamiento! Éramos casi los últimos en el café y la señora que trabaja allí dijo que no hay prisa por salir. Me molestó mucho esta semana recibir una multa de estacionamiento diciendo que había estado allí 4 horas y 11 minutos y tenía una multa de £ 100! Ambos somos pensionistas y tristemente esto ha empañado lo que fue una tarde encantadora😔

My second visit here, it is huge, but with a confusing layout. Different levels with steps and ramps. Lots of concessions stores inside the main centre and outside as well. Loads of variety, if shopping for non garden stuff as is expected at garden centres these days, including a Hotter, Weird Fish, Cotton Traders, Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Cook Shop, Regatta and other outdoor clothing lines. Great cafe. Friendly staff. Car park could do with more lighting for winter visits so you can see the pot holes....

I was shopping and a staff member shouted at my friend and said do you want to look at the knives or what. My friend hadn't even spoken to her. When we went to the till she then apologised to me for her behaviour and not my friend. After apologising she mentioned that she was surprised at my British accent and didn't think people from Islam spoke English properly. I am a Muslim and so is my friend I am from Sheffield and have never experienced such a comment I am very disappointed this isnt the first time I have experienced this. This sort of degrading and dehumanising behaviour is not uncommon in a place like Edwalton.

Tuvimos el menú festivo y la comida era excelente junto con el servicio amable de todo el personal. Siempre están tan ocupados, pero todavía tienen tiempo para hacerte sentir bienvenido y especial.

Excellent garden centre and cafe pleasant staff great service can definitely recommend.

Nice Santa's grotto for kids to right a letter to santa and post box to post it.

He reservado un té festivo por la tarde para dos, excelente comida muy bien preparada, era sabroso y lleno, excelente servicio, el personal educado y eficiente, una experiencia muy agradable.

Garden centre and shopping. Sell lots of different things Inc pet supplies,clothes. Gifts and food n drink. Friendly staff.

Lovely garden centre but waited 25 minutes for luke warm soup and the extremely dried out scones. Service was very slow too as was clearing tables as was very busy. Sorry to say I won’t be going back there 🥲

First time visit today just to have a look around. Ended up buying a Xmas tree the guys were so so helpful considering we had the pup with us and they fell in love with her. The food hall was very well set out and with plenty of space for people with dogs just perfect and the food and drinks were great. Went for a walk around the rest and the Xmas decs section was amazing and Leia got stopped by one of the members of staff and got some treats and a few cuddles just the best start to the day thank you all you defo are a dog friendly place 🙏🫶🏻

Lovely garden centre, although I was charged for 2x boxes of shortbread when I had actually only purchased one , didn’t notice until I checked my receipt when I arrived home, I suppose not a lot I can do about it now

Neat and well looked after shop. Very helpful staffs. You will find of the stuff you will need. They will arrange to secure your needed item if you give them a call. Garden accessories available Plants available Some spices available

A vast variety of plants garden tools Christmas lights gifts and a nice café

Buena comida a un precio razonable. El personal era muy amable, servicial y trabajador. Ten en cuenta que regalan café molido usado para que lo uses en el jardín. ¡Un fantástico bono!

Really good for indoor plants, everything else is expensive though 🪴

Excellent garden centre and cafe. Had a lovely time

Very slow service and untrained staff with a long queue in the restaurant every time we have visited. Makes for a very frustrated visit .

Harry served us our cream teas today, he was so friendly and kind. Keep up the good work Harry

We visited with our dog very pleased to see the dog friendly area was inside and had a lovely seating area with low coffee tables. We had cheese scones and a latte and a chai latte. Massive homemade scone delicious and the drinks were good too. Pleasant staff and great cafe which was very clean.

Great Christmas sale on at the moment, plenty of bargains to be had. Not too busy, small wait in the cafe but the food was good. Second visit (Oct) just putting all the Christmas stuff out, not too busy for a Tuesday but the cafe started to fill up around 1pm.

A lovely garden centre on the edge of town

I was disappointed with the food. We ordered jacket potatoes at 11:30 on Saturday morning. It looked lovely, and the salad was fresh, but the potatoes were reheated leftovers from the previous day. (They weren't hot, and the skins were a bit overcooked) We still ate them. Elsewhere it's a great garden centre. The plants are well cared for. Although some of the prices are ridiculous. A jar of matches was for sale at £15.99 !!

I love this place so much. Lovely garden centre with a nice variety of products. Delicious breakfast for vegetarians/vegans and lovely staff.

Great variety of garden and conservatory furniture at excellent prices. Wonderful service received from Gaynor. Unfortunately ordered too much conservatory furniture and had to return one chair which again Gaynor helped with and arranged collection. Nothing was too much trouble.

Quality plants and more but pricy compared to others.

Best buy ever sale on winter clothing £60 top on sale £10.

Fantastic food. A great garden center where you go in, needing nothing, but coming out with lots.

Went for a cream tea given as a gift. Lovely clean surroundings and relaxed atmosphere. All the personnel were polite and caring, especially Charlotte and Kerry. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was well prepared, tasty and fresh .Certainly one of the best cream teas we've had.

Lots of different products from plants and seeds to garden furniture, clothes, toys, books, pets including small animal petting between 1200 and 1300. There is a cafe which was, on this occasion, fairly disappointing. Had the fish and chips with mushy peas. The chips and peas were good but the fish was dry and the batter overcooked!

Always enjoy a walk around. Coffee shop is lovely . Food and cakes are delicious.

Enjoyed looking at the fish. Lots that I'd never seen before Watching a member of staff catching and bagging some for a customer was quite entertaining

We often visit Weatcroft Garden centre (Nocutts) and find it a wonderful place to shop. I purchased a Arbour from them recently and am very pleased with it and the customer service also. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Had a lovely afternoon tea ,huge thank you to the member of staff Claire who made it very special for us

Just been to the restaurant today for a cream tea with friends The food was lovely , freshly made assortment of sandwiches , quiche, sausage rolls and a selection of cakes with tea or coffee The staff were very friendly , professional and couldn’t have done enough for us . Thank you Clare ,Michelle and Nicola we will certainly be visiting again

Great place to visit if you have energetic grandkids for the day. Maidenhead aquatics for fish feeding, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters etc to gaze at and fab chips to munch on. Also an outdoor play area where they can run off excess energy. A win all round. No grandkids? Still a great place to visit and lovely restaurant.

Helpful staff. Wide range of plants , bushes and trees. Inshore shop offering variety of goods. Pet supplies

Dinner was very nice,three bean chilli very good.not very busy don't know why.

Our visit was on a bank holiday, it was a hot day too and extremely busy but it was fully stocked and the staff were friendly efficient and knowledgeable.

Quality garden centre and a lovely cafe a pleasant experience 😁

Very disappointing meal. Ordered a beef sunday dinner and it must have been sat, precooked for hours. Beef was cold, incredibly well-done and tough. The ends had gone solid and crispy as if it was cured meat. All the veg was underdone with no flavour except a strange watery-cleaning product taste. No staff members came to see if we were enjoying the meal so we could not voice our concerns.

Had a great time here while visiting family in Nottingham. We had coffee and cake in the cafe. The coffee and walnut cake was lovely! Quick service and with a smile. Simple but always effective. The garden centre also has a lovely range of plants and like many newer centres a large indoor area with homeware.

Don’t waste your time or money. 3 breakfast. All cold, swimming in Greece and fat. Awful service overpriced undercooked eggs. tried to complain, member of staff just shrugged their shoulders.

Afternoon tea for a birthday treat for 7 was absolutely lovely. Thank you to a member of staff called Claire who made the occasion special and was very efficient. The selection of sandwiches and cakes was lovely. We did miss a few crisp if that could be considered. We will definitely return and recommend...

Having visited this garden centre on a handful of occasions, the layout and goods sold have always been of good quality. Today however, I visited the Nottscutts restaurant for the first time…and most definitely the last time. I ordered a cod (90% rock hard batter, 10% dry cod)and chips. The moment the peas become the best thing on the plate is the moment there’s something not quite right. Daughter had a cooked-from-frozen style pizza which was flat and lifeless. Son had fish goujons and chips which shared a similar fate as my tasteless cod. Wife had tomato soup which was probably the only thing fairly edible from our order. Come for the garden centre, do not stay for the food.

This is a lovely garden centre. Lots of different items to look at, including gifts, food/drinks, and obviously garden items. It has a great cafe which is very dog friendly. There's a section which is for the dogs away from the main cafe, which is nice.

Excellent garden centre. Cafe, aquatics shop, pet centre and clothes shops.

took our grandson for a treat we had fish and chips they were the worst meal fish batter was like cardboard chip weren't much better they need to do alot better give them a big miss absolutely rubbish

What a great choice and delicious scones in the restaurant

Lovely service from two young girls today, I struggle with mobility so Charlotte came over and took my order and then brought my drink and cutlery over whilst Kate made my drink, very nice coffee. Good jacket potato as well and friendly staff, however quite a long wait for my food.

Very good food with excellent service. Sadly it is normally a bit too noisy due the large open space with wooden floor.

Visited today March 8th 2 15 pm. Dissapointing was difficult to find a table that was cleared. Flat white ok but not the best hot chocolate all milk no chocolate!

Great choice of plants, garden furniture and lovely cafe.

Lovely garden centre, so much to see, and so many lovely things to buy. The cafe was fabulous with a really nice dog area, which we were very impressed with, comfy chairs and not just shoved out of the way . Our first visit, but it won't be our last. Very impressed 👏 👌 👍

Great garden centre. Diversified with other businesses so a good shopping trip.

Great Breakfast and reasonably priced too we come here often for coffee scones good coffee and tea also a good garden centre for plants and a bit of retail shopping

Plenty of parking nicely set out restaurant nice food OK some times a little slow on the tills but other wise a nice garden centre

It's so lovely here. Fab place its so sweet 😋

Another fantastic Christmas tree! taken all the decs off and still looks like the day we bought it, hardly dropped any needles

We called in for a coffee and scone. Nearly all the Christmas goods had gone and the rest is on sale at up to 50 percent off.

Merry Christmas Not!! I arranged to meet a friend at Notcutts Nottingham with my two baby girls. We planned to have lunch and a catch up, shop and to take the children to see Santa and play in the playground. All of these things, including feeding the baby, waiting for the table and food, we achieved in four hours twenty minutes. Not bad I thought. Despite spending more money than I anticipated, we all enjoyed the experience, that is, until I received a fine through the post because I exceeded the allotted parking time of four hours (which I was not aware of)!!!! Who would have thought you could not stay for the day, spending your money, if you were so inclined. In fact most businesses would encourage it, especially in these times. Needless to say we won’t be going again and my husband has confined me to the kitchen for Christmas!!!!

Always lovely friendly staff even when very busy. Good choice of food from snacks to full meals. Nice quality and reasonably priced.

I am sending this because iv had five star treatment from member of yours. Julie on plants ans ph she was brilliant kind and helped me to get to what I needed. I explained I was on crutches and I don't have anyone to push a wheelchair and need to exchange a gift not working she went out her way got a another item put it near tills with my name on so I can just go to exchange it. She is a asset to your company I hope you appreciate how brilliant she was. I'd like you to notice what good her staff she is. Thank to her. Mrs Tina housley. 🙏😊

My Friend and I had a wonderful afternoon tea in the restaurant. Charlotte (assistant manager) and staff couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you for a lovely experience ladies. We will be back.

We love to come here for the xmas displays. A good selection of goods all year round. A nice restaurant with reasonable prices. Even the toilets are spacious and clean.

Remember: quality comes with a price tag!

Called in for a coffee and a slice of cake before doing a little Christmas shopping. £13.80 for two slices of chocolate cake, a small cappuccino and a regular size hot chocolate. Lunch time appeared to have been busy as the tables were littered with use trays, plates, cups etc. There was no one clearing anything away. We cleared our own space. The cake was hard while the cappuccino was cold. There were only two members of staff on the checkout - one taking the payments and the other making drinks and it was busy so we did not complain. Overall the cafe experience was very poor. However we did buy two Christmas presents on the way out. Visiting the cafe and shopping here could be an enjoyable experience but this time it was not.

Coffee and scones today just membership. 10% discount on all but the restaurant 👍

Not been here before - lovely garden centre with clean facilities and what looks to be an excellent cafe

We do sometimes come here for plants as they tend to be good quality. This time we called as it was shown as a Regatta outlet shop. We did find some Regatta clothes with the help of an assistant but not really worth travelling to see.

Superb customer service yesterday at Nottcutts Garden Centre ... and a great choice of plants. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who helped us with our purchases (Trees and Shrubs) and delivered next day. It was a great pleasure to shop there and they made everything very easy for us

Great garden centre with an good variety of products. Cafe' is not as good since COVID which is a shame.

Great salads. Chips need to be smaller otherwise great place 😀

Very, very very expensive, most of the items can be bought elsewhere for less money .

Best Ham, Eggs and Chips I've had in years!! (including pre-pandemic!!) Also, great Gardener's Breakfast

Called in for lunch. It was worth the 15 minute journey from the A46 to get something decent to eat. Nice fresh salad with a decent jacket potato helped break the journey while the wife bought some garden bargains, or so she says 🥲

Delicious afternoon tea, and special thanks to Claire for lovely service.

A real nice place to visit and reasonably priced

Lovely service very polite and they have some beautiful iteams for sale x

I didn’t go inside, only there for an EV car event..

Gr8 place for all plant types and gr8 coffee

The Wheaties cafe is like a big barn and is very noisy whenever we’ve been. My husband and I have been inflicted with “ladies who lunch” loud conversations/ gossip. If you’re unlucky enough to sit near the kitchen it’s even noisier with servers almost scraping crockery and shouting to the kitchen. Food is OK but very expensive and service is slow and that’s being kind!! For Sage card holders 2 for 1 meals 3 times a year and free monthly hot drinks were offered- axed after Covid to scrape profits back - what a mistake!!!
