Brookfields is a large garden cenrte located on the outskirts of Nottingham. There is plenty of…read moreparking here and so suitable for that out of town shopping experience, it also easy to reach by just following Plains Road out of Nottingham. There are several sections to the centre, ranging from the indoor/home section, fish and aquarium, plants, trees and everything else you would expect to find from a good garden centre. I can not really rave on too much about a Garden Centre otherwise I will be admitting to not having much of a life. So I will leave it that it gives you what you would want, has a good range of products and when we have actually asked for help there we have found the people very knowledable on their subjects and keen to help.

Went to Brookfields garden centre today I found the plants that I wanted were reasonably priced…read more Went to the restaurant, we both had jacket spuds, I had cottage cheese and pineapple, and Hubby had cheese 'n' beans, the plates had plenty of salad on as well, the meals were very enjoyable and filling, we also had tea and coffee, which was also enjoyable after all the walking around the garden centre ( inside and out) we shall definitely be going again.

I may be wrong, but I think this is the only independent furniture retailer left in Nottingham…read moreafter the sad demise of Nash Interiors. I have bought bed/sofa/chairs over the years from here, and like to have a wander and window shop occasionally. It has some wonderful, quirky items and soon has me redecorating (mentally that is!). It has a huge range of carpets/rugs and flooring and an even bigger selection of fabrics. The slaes staff all know what they are talking about too!! A rarity in these days of sell it and sell it cheap! It has a coffee shop, but last time I was there it didn't even do a cappacino! So no points there, but then that isn't why you go. I thoroughly reccommend a visit. We will all be the poorer if Hopewells goes too, and it is not that much more expensive, particularly at sale time.

The quality of service is also excellent - we recently had hard floors fitted by Hopewells throughout the ground floor of our house and are very happy with the quality.

You can help yourself to vegetables, which are always being topped up. Puddings are not so great, but I never have room for them anyway. Afterwards, it really lovely just to wander round the plants and shrubs outside and get some fresh air while walking off your lunch. There is always a wide choice of pretty plants and shrubs to chose from and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. The prices however are quite high so it's worth shopping around if you're looking for something inparticular. I'd just go for the carvery! :0)

Whether you have a fish tank or fish pond you will always find something here that is different to anywhere else. The fish selection is good and there are real dedicated people to advise you/ educate you. This is also a great place at Christmas as has some really good Christmas gifts/ decorations that are completely unique to the garden centre. The garden funiture is also great... the £2,000.00 they want for one of my favourite statues is a little out of my price range right now though! The café here is good too so you can quite easily spend a good 3-4 hours at the garden centre.

Gee Jays is a local bargain hot spot. It has 2 floors of various items, from tea towels, to…read morestationery, to power tools. It is worth looking in Gee Jays before buying anything from B&Q or similar places. They have stock clearance items and regular stock as well. The stock varies widely and is regularly updated to accommodate seasonal stock. If you are doing a spot of DIY I imagine you can get everything from here, as they have paint, brushes and cleaning equipment. The main downsides to this shop are: 1) Parking, there are a few spaces on the road outside, but the shop is a 5 min walk out of town; 2) Accessibilty with wheelchair, pram or similar. I find it hard to navigate a pram around, so have to make arrangements to go there on my own.

An enormous variety of goods ranging from souvenirs and neat gifts in the Gift Shop, all sorts of outdoor clothing - not just for in the garden but raincoats, casual gear for men and women and all the seasons, plants, turf, trees, fish, parrots, rabbits and more - and all your needs for your pets. Then organize day trips to a wide variety of places - and not to forget the REALLY good restaurant that does breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas (High Tea) and bargain dinners. Indeed today Mrs G and I had 2 two course dinners for 12 pounds ($16-17 for TWO!!). I had beef bourguignon, while Mrs G had a Quiche Lorraine with chips and peas/salad, and then I had apple pie with custard while she had lemon meringue pie. Served promptly in the clean and bright restaurant - we sat "outside" so that Ricky Martin could sit with us and share in a little with my beef :). Will we be back? Hell yeah!!! Review #44 2018
