This review is for The Fruit Shack which is on the Willowbrook site. One can park easily and the management of social distancing is excellent. The open entrance ensures an excellent air flow. The produce is both varied and of a high quality

As a garden centre, as in it sells plants etc for gardens, it does well at it. Whilst looking around the place we noticed it doesn't seem to supply house plants. Overall the place was muddled, outside you have your typical garden centre paraphernalia inside it seems to be a art display of everything else. I kept getting the impression if I picked anything up it would ruin the display. I couldn't see any gaps where someone might have purchased something. (check the huge number of photos I've uploaded). The disabled parking bays are neatly aligned around the entrance, but as the exit is further along the building they aren't so convenient after all. The look of consternation of seeing me by one of the staff was frightening, made me feel that I shouldn't even have been allowed through the doors. The customer toilets were currently undergoing renovation. So there was one toilet only available and some of the staff wanted to use them too, very limiting. Very inconvenient. The cafe? Restaurant? Has been upgraded with proper meals, but the furniture is still antisocial. The majority of chairs still are bare wooden seats, I'm guessing they don't want too many people hogging them for too long. The only saving grace to this visit is the serving staff and the chefs, cooks etc as the meals were well cooked and the servers excelled. We were shocked to find there wasn't a big rush to get to the dinners, in fact 5 minutes after they started serving there was a big exodus from those presumably just in for coffee & cakes etc. Noticed the place is also very popular for mums and youngsters. Not a place we'll be visiting very often. PS my mum didn't like the decking with her Walker, also one of the slopes very minor though it was made my mum unbalanced. Slight edit here, because some words didn't make sense etc. Note the photo of the entrance from the other side saying NO EXIT as of today 22/10/2020 has been viewed over 2.8 million times, who would have thought it.
This garden centre is decorated so prettily for Christmas. Loved all the fairy lights dotted around which gave it a really warm feel. Has lots of nice items to look at aside from Christmas things. Well worth visiting.
I love this garden center, full of fun and quirky items. Didn't get to use the cafe as didn't have time but the food available looked delicious. There isn't much you can't get from here, gifts, plants, statues, waterfeatures and just outside is a dedicated fruit &veg store that does wonderful produce. Well worth a visit. Wheelchair accessible, and large carpair where you can pickup and drop off then park.
A very beautiful and well equipped garden center. The people in there are very friendly and helpful. It also has a dazzling array of colours to catch the eye. Don't miss this lovely garden center.
