Wilmslow Garden Centre in Cheshire East

Nice stuff but a lot smaller than I thought

Always a pleasure to go there. Huge range of quality plants suitable for every season. Great selection of luxury goods. Best range of cards for every occasion. Very welcoming cafe for coffee and more.

Lovely place with nice and helpful staff.

We've visited previously and have bought some beautiful, well cared for plants and love the indoor shop. Its a lovely little garden centre. Today's visit included a trip with elderly relatives to the cafe. The member of staff behind the counter was very rude and disrespectful in the way she spoke to me, leaving me feeling a little humiliated. Won't be in a rush to go back again. What a shame.

Had my Birthday Breakfast here - excellent.

Staff very pleasant & helpful. Easy parking. Nice restaurant.

Only went to get some plants for our pond so just literally walked through got the plants and then walked straight back out. What I did see looked lovely with loads of beautiful expensive items I'm sure I needed, but apparently my husband said we didn't need anything!!! They didn't have a great variety of pond plants but what they did was ok. Would love another visit to have a proper look around.

Again- a visit to the nice coffee shop, with excellent toilets!

Good selection of plants but slightly over priced

This is second time we have visited for scones and tea/coffee, very disappointing! Used to love it here. Maybe a new chef/cook? Won't visit again unfortunately

Not friendly staff very rude.no free water unless ask staff it's a tap behind counter.in Bents it just there to help yourself.

Lovely quality plants and shrubs

Went into restaurant for lunch saw a specials board at the entrance my aunt chose gammon steak with egg and chips and I had quiche and salad the gammon was priced at £11.95 but was charged £12.95 went back to complain and was given a pound back out of a tip dish which was not very professional at all and my quiche which was supposed to be cheese and bacon tasted like all egg with no cheese when I got my meal there was no chips either as it was advertised very unappetising need to have better choices for main meals instead of mostly pastry dishes

I went here with my grandfather who has dementia and my child for a day out. I must say overall the staff in the shop were excellent and the fish store was amazing and we bought our fish and a nice new plant. But the cafe for us just ruined the trip. The staff were rude and very unorganised. We were at the till ordering and before we even had chance to sit down because the drinks were taking that long to wait for they brought our food out to somebody else. I then asked which coffee was which to be told they did not know. I then told them at the till the customer service is not the best and tried to explain the problem I was facing in which they were rude and seemed to not care. I think something should be done about this as we love this garden centre but probably will not be returning now.

Prices are extremely high even for the most basic items.

Such a lovely garden centre, plants are wonderful and so looked after. A nice selection of pots. Lots for the garden and home. Definitely worth a visit.

Good choice of plants and general merchandise

This is a lovely place to visit, the restaurant is always clean and tidy, varied choices for all choices - vegan, vegetarian gluten free, fresh foods, good selection for lunch and afternoon tea but the breakfasts are good value for money especially when compared with other local nurseries, try the Thursday evenings special excellent value . Often visit with my family and grandson, it is nice to see regular members of staff shows and they do recognize the regulars, table service and they do have wheelchairs available not many do that.

Great garden centre with good choice of plants and other non plant items

Only just started visiting this garden centre, lovely garden centre. My partner signed up for a loyalty card this month, which seems great for awards. Seen an offer on today for £5 off roses with the card. Went to pay at the till, the lady was lovely and explained the £5 didn’t come off as we had only just set up the rewards card. Asked a manager to override it. He seemed very rude and not happy about it. He said to the lady at the till that he will have to check our account as if we was trying to con them out of £5. Not really how you won’t to be made to feel. When we had just spent about £40 in the cafe plus another £25 on other plants. Management need some customer service training.

Really nice garden centre, plenty of stock to choose from and it's very well kept. The staff are really friendly.

Lovely displays of plants to give you ideas for your own gardens, all the plants look healthy and attractive. Great place to find presents for others and yourself. Well spaced out and all the shelves are full of produce (unlike other garden centres in the area). Great cafe and good offers.

Excellent quality plants & knowledgeable, helpful & friendly staff.

We ate at the cafe today and were disappointed with the scones, as they were extremely dry and crumbly and the only cream available was a small pot of double cream that wasn’t enough for one scone; also we would have preferred clotted cream, which is invariably served with scones.

Menu indicates breakfast is served until 11.30 but when I requested an item from the breakfast menu at 10.50 Ie 40 minutes before the cut off time, I was refused! I didnt bother ordering anything and left the cafe.

More of a general shopping area than a true garden centre but does have a large range of plants and garden implements but some plants were neglected and in need of attention. Items were very expensive compared to other dedicated garden centres. Staff in the cafe need some training as they don't seem to know when breakfast service ends and lunch starts. Very disappointing visit and won't visit again. One plus for this place was that it has a large car park.

Lovely setting and well stocked; poor wifi.

Good place to visit when waiting for incoming flight

A good variety of everything you would expect from the garden center along with good food in the restaurant

Very casual nothing fancy but nice place to be especially after being in the garden centre all morning. The staff are friendly here and the food is tasty, quite filling. Nothing special but decent enough

It is a great garden centre lots to look at and buy. Nice food area for having lunch.

Nice garden centre lots of choice prices not too bad ...gifts food clothes and lots of different areas ..loved my visit

Lots of different things to buy besides plants. No longer stock crafts, which i think is a shame but has food, clothes and tropical fish. I had a delicious free coffee today, after buying compost for tubs on my drive

Called with my Mum for a quick coffee and some garden bits and pieces. Service in cafe is very slow. Only 1 person taking orders, running to kitchen And doing the coffee orders. Lots of mutterings in the queue, some people didn't wait.

Lovely area and great products, well presented and great staff

Ample parking lots of choices of plants and shrubs and very nice cafe

Have visited many times and queues were long. Not enough staff. Used toilet and no soap in any dispensers. Myself and friend tried all of these. Informed a manager and was told your not pushing down hard enough. Did not seem bothered.

It was like most garden centre s

It took 20 minutes just to serve the 5 couples in front of us with drinks. When we left, the queue of over 20 people must have been at least an hour long at that rate. When I asked why it was so slow, I was rather curtly told " it's Monday " Well thanks for the explanation, we won't darken your door again !!

You can find everything for the garden (plants, tools, various accessories), but it has a bit expensive prices for plants, you can also find clothes, toys, children's books, etc. it has a comfortable room for good coffee, English breakfast, ten ) and good food.

Loved having a nosy around this little garden centre!! They have everything from stationary, pet toys, books, an aquatic area, plants, furniture, food, a cafe and even household items like pots and pans for a decent price too! The aquatic centre is really good, the fish seem really taken care of and they have SO much variety, some I’ve never seen before!!

Lots of lovely things to look at plants garden furniture, pretty items and pet care. All under one roof with a lovely little restaurant

Great choice and service not the best value for money but u get what I pay for

I went with my family for Mother's Day, the lady taking our order was really rude, and very unpleasant, and actually said that the chef had asked that we hurry it up. It's a lovely garden centre, but a number of staff in the restaurant were unwelcoming and rude, which is a real shame.

Was awsome got some real bargains staff very helpful..must go place

We have been to the restaurant lots of times.We went today and ordered the full breakfast.The bacon and sausage were over cooked,the eggs were small and the butter was not enough for the toast,we got.Not sure if we will go again very disappointing.

Large well laid out centre, with coffee shop and large car park. New seasons garden furniture available

got couple bargains, had a lovely coffee and cake

Usually, I am very satisfied with the food in the cafe. Not today. I ordered fish gougons with salad and paid £9.95. I could not believe the 3 tiny slivers of fish served on a large amount of bread! Having notified the chef, as I expected, I was told it is due to portion control where he has to cut 9 pieces of fish from one fillet!! That should mean that fish and chips must cost around £27 but, of course, doesn't! I urge customers not to order this dish so it can be taken off the menu and fewer people can be disappointed and disgruntled. Meanwhile, the staff are consistently great!!!!

This place has gone really downhill. Had my usual quiche and chips. The quiche was tasteless and rubber like in texture. The pastry overcooked and tough. Small portion of chips and salad. The coffee and walnut was £3.95 a slice and was dry even though it was the first piece from a new cake. Large latte £3.30 for what was a normal cup and wasn't filled to the top. Definitely won't be eating here again. Such a shame as we used to live coming here.

The coffee and scone were great!

Only went for a drink but the cafe was clean and staff friendly

Well stocked and interesting place to visit. Dogs are allowed in...but disappointingly not in the cafe...hence just 4 stars.

Fine selection of overpriced house and garden items. I certainly can't afford to shop here, which is a shame.

THE STAFF ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE THEY ALL THINK THEY A SOMTHING SPECIAL, THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP YOU AND THEY LOOK DOWN ON YOU LIKE YOU ARE DOG DIRT. I ASKED FOR A PRICE AND I WAS SPOKEN TO LIKE I WAS STUPID , I WOULD ADVISE NOBODY GO TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE

Glorious garden centre just outside of Wilmslow and Handforth. Variety of stuff on sale like a small department store, including lots of fish and aquatic supplies. The singing christmas reindeer are an absolute pleasure in Winter and a joy for the whole family!

Our regular place for coffee and scones, always good

Like garden centre lots of choices.

This animated xmas novelty is fascinating but it terrified my dog. Its hilarioud We went there to get lunch because it says its dog friendly but we had to leave ad they don't allow dogs in the cafe. Lots of nice xmas gifts but much too pricy for my budget this year sadly

We went in this afternoon for a scone and tea and were very disappointed with how poor the cakes and scones selection looked so we left.

Visited Saturday at 4.15. At the cafe were told no childrens meals available, fryer had been turned off. Ended up with a cold sandwich and packet of crisps for the grandaughter. Fish finger sandwich was vile, looked like the fish fingers had been kept under a heat lamp all day. Of course it wasnt fresh as the fryer was off. Left it. Cafe is open till 5.00 so should have a menu available till 5. Wont be returning.

Nice garden centre. Just what you'd expect at Christmas.

Soup and chips gorgeous.. Latte and scone belly full both went home happy chappies xx

Small but OK for a town of its size, but nice cafe/restaurant with cosy dining area & decent menu.

Enjoyed our first visit to this garden centre, loved the Reindeers, nice food in the cafe and not expensive.

Lovely array of plants decent coffee too today must be off day hardly any cream and jam on scone

Lovely place, tasty sandwich and soup plenty of Xmas stuff at the moment(Nov)

Overpriced staff are miserable looking

Christmas is under way Very good displays Plenty of Xmas goodies 🎅🤶👌

Lovely cafe.. Good food. Great selection of plants

The garden centre seemed nice, but the food was awful. It said a 45 minute wait which we had no problem with. I ordered a Cajun chicken with crossed chips (i think they called them), which sounded nice. The chips were fat normal chips and the cajun chicken was just dry chicken from the roast dinner without even any seasoning on (even salt/pepper), let alone cajun.

Sunday lunch was excellent. Will definitely go back again, nice garden centre has got everything.

Very goodmost things first class food very good

Disappointing meal. Baked potato not fully cooked. Topping lacked flavour.

Lovely garden centre and nice place to dine

Lovely garden centre. Very clean with lovely products. The cafe was lovely with a good selection of cakes / sandwiches etc. Very friendly and cheerful staff.

Got what I wanted and at a cheaper price than other garden centres will go back.

Took family who were visiting from Belfast for some breakfast. Food was delicious as always and the staff were friendly and helpful.

A very nice Garden Centre and immaculate restaurant with good food

Not overly excited about the food, steak baguette with caramelized onion no extras I.e side salad, not a unreasonable request, so why oh why can counter staff and chefs not understand this request, never had caramelized onions with a chutney jelly before, would not have food here again.

Typical modern garden centre, not my favourite but pretty good. plant display is now improved and a good little café. The selection for hanging baskets and bedding is limited but definitely a good price. This year they have lots of packs pre-chosen for you make your own planters and baskets.

The garden centre is lovely , and the staff are very friendly but ….. my son ordered a sandwich which he couldn’t even eat, I have no issues with paying £8.50 but if I do, I expect it to be a very good sandwich, I’ve bought better from petrol stations. The jacket potatos were over £10 and had roughly 8 prawns on each with not butter . I am honestly shocked !!!!

Poor range of plants. Over priced. Even the Caffè want £3* for a bottle of pop. Staff stood messing at check out. Poor.

Great centre , massive variety of options to purchase & Great restaurant.

Lovely garden centre, friendly super helpful staff and always on hand to offer sound advice.

Lovely tea room , great garden centre

Nice garden centre. Odd items on offer at great prices, but things in the shop mostly pretty pricey tbh. Actual plants are averagely priced. Nice cafe, though my idea of a regular sized cappo isn't exactly the same as their's. Good coffee though. As was the Americano. If I could level a constructive criticism though, praps add the inside faces of the Dyson blade hand driers to the cleaning regime for the toilets.

Nice lunch in the cafe. One member of staff at the till a bit bossy. The others very nice. Lovely shop to wander round on another rainy day

Decidedly average, but exquisitely expensive. Not short of the usual garden centre tat, but oh my God is it expensive! I mean, seriously expensive and I've lived in New York.

We visited World Of Water who are establishing themselves very nicely after moving from Thorley Lane in Timperley. As always the help and advice was expert and professional but put in terms you can understand. Lee who took care of us made sure we had everything we needed and took time to listen to our requirements before trying to sell us stuff we didn’t need or understand how to use. Matt who runs World Of Water has retained the feel of the old place and the expertise needed and made it work in the new site. I highly recommend a visit for all your aquatic needs be it indoor or outdoor.

My friend and I visited here on a weekday lunch time. We had a good wander around the clothes and the flowers. The clothes are not my style and obviously not that popular judging by the fact that most of them were greatly reduced. The plants and flowers were a different story. Really lovely plants and very tempting . Many I would love to have in my garden. We had lunch, soup and a sandwich. Very good soup and we shared the sandwich. Beautifully presented and more than enough for a lunch. Coffee was good too. The dining area is quite big, but decorated attractively. Worth a visit.

Nice place for a morning out and some lunch

Beautiful place with lovely furniture with reasonable prices. However the service I received at the cafe from Linda was extremely rude when I politely requested a certain type of milk which was an option on their board. The coffees hadn’t even been prepared and the request was placed well in advance so I was confused why the fridge needed to be slammed and there was no need to glare and sigh. The experience was embarrassing but for some reason she was just as rude to the customer waiting in line. Whoever gave this nasty woman a job clearly needs to assess her customers service skills . Due to the embarrassment and that lunch was ruined by her we will certainly never return to this garden centre .

Great place to shop loads of parking space to walk around instore cafe brilliant full english breakfast for £5.00 Nice coffee lots of offers on food

Staff are lovely, but because of the offer of scones, badly organised. Needed more staff, to cope.... Good offer, so invited, perhaps more than usual participants....but, should always be prepared ...

this is a great place to buy aquatic garden plants and pond fish, the staff go above and beyond to ensure a good service.

Everything g you need for garden, plus world of water for any fish pond plans you may have.

I went here for a snack to eat. No problem parking for all people. Entrance for all people. Went to a table obtained number and went till and ordered food n drink, service was fast and professional. Food was very good and competitive in price. This could quite easily be a 5 star rating. Will be going back there to go over shop and garden centre.

There is a wide range of outdoor furniture and accessories on display. Plants are mainly bedding plants, with relatively few peranniels.

Lovely afternoon out, plenty of choice for gardens, we bought fish for our pond
