There's a nice selection of sweet and savory items. I found the individual portions of clotted cream and jam delightful as they were also quality brands. What really took me by surprise was the unlimited drinks that it comes with. My mocha was large to begin with but when we discovered we could order as many teas or espresso drinks we could handle we couldn't believe it. I could only fit in two but considering most places only allow one order of such a drink and top up water only this was such a bonus. The setting was quite lovely, if you can get a window seat even better, but there's a few trees and things scattered throughout the space. They also have breakfast and lunch menus which looked quite substantial and a dedicated kids menu which is always welcomed. The staff were very friendly too. If you do want to do high tea, they require at least 24 hrs notice, however you may get lucky if you're trying to get in last minute.

There were some hardcore Sunday shoppers here and rightly so this place is beautiful. Full on country side vibe with every possible flower and shrub imaginable! I got my trolley and causally stilled around the centre settling on buying some sunflowers and other really hard to pronounce types of flowers for my mom and dads front garden. I have no idea who named some of these varieties of flowers....but they went innnnn...I won't lie a lot of them I couldn't pronounce but I gave it a good go..with varying results.... The flowers here are super cheap too the sunflowers were like 1.50 each and most pots are below £3...bargains galore!! The only thing to note is the tills are busy...people are flocking for a wide for those bargain blooms so set out an afternoon for this trip it's definitely going to take you a a few to see everything and pay....but that's the vibe surely...loved it.

It offers an extremely comprehensive range of products. Staff in the outside area can be hard to find but there are knowledgeable staff available if you need advice as I did when selecting a fruit tree for my garden. The level of customer service is high, I was surprised to discover that if you buy a heavy bag of fertiliser or compost it will be taken to your car on an electric carrier! So all in all a recommended place to go for garden supplies and products.

Though the summer-long hosepipe ban which is already in force for the southeast of England may put a slight dampener (no pun intended!) on things Woodcote Green Nurseries are located a road along with a few other horticultural centres. However, they are the biggest and have a few more strings to their bow apart from the garden centre At this of year, I like to add some seasonal vegetables just for the year and perhaps plant a new fruit bush or tree which will yield a bountiful harvest over many years. Sometimes, some herb plants may need replacing after a harsh winter though it wasn't too bad a winter this time I also love to browse their aquarium area though I've discovered through experience that my doctoring skills sadly don't extend to my finned friends, so I now confine myself to looking at the fishes! They have a nice cafe with hot and cold food as well as cakes and drinks for a snack, hence catering for different types of meals. Edinburgh Woollen Mills have an area with clothing and there's a small book department too Like the start of a new football season, spring brings with it a season of hope and limitless opportunities in the garden!

The selection of fabrics is varied and sourced from very good furnishing fabric houses. They do require long lead times though. The carpet ranges to choose from are comprehensive. We were thrilled with the two chaps who fitted the carpets...an absolute pleasure to have working in one's home. The haberdashery section is adequate but not very creative although there are signs that this could be improving. At the moment the small range of quilting fabrics are uninspiring, so too are the cross-stitch kits etc. The shop is probably catering for more mature needle workers.
