Wow, I officially am getting old when I review a garden centre and give it 5 stars! My grandparents…read morewould be so proud as they were always wanting to go out for a drive and day out to B&Q etc when I was a little kid... But saying that - this isn't B&Q or just some rubbish shop just selling plants and trees - it has everything you could want in life and was the perfect place to spend a wet and windy Friday off work with our 2 little kids. Here's the ace points: * A fantastic food hall serving food from local suppliers and so much tasty stuff - in house butchers, bakers etc * Huge Reserve Wines area with great selection of vino on offer * Possibly one of the best craft beer selections to take away - at least 30 different breweries from local to further afield. * 3 great cafes and one specialising in tapas and champagne - PIMP living! *loads of kiddy activities and sand pit etc, great kids toys shop * loads of plants and outdoorsy stuff it that floats your boat... * Good quality coffee - proper sized flat whites... So there you have it - my new favourite place to hang out. You can keep your pretentious hipster joints - I'm hanging out here in future!

This is a small family run garden centre in a lovely setting and the owner is very friendly and…read moreknowledegable. There is a pond that runs along the garden centre and often you find the ducks nesting among the plants. Its got a good selection of plants and I bought some strawberries there last year which I planted at my allotment and hoping to get some juicy produce this year.You can also buy compost and seeds as well as the usual potted plants and shrubs.

A good garden centre. A large outside area selling plants trees grasses and herbs. They also sell…read moreaquatic plants. Inside you will find bulbs, grass seeds and house plants. They also sell a large range of plant food, various pest killers and fertilisers. They also sell wild bird food and feeders. Outside they have fencing, wooden buildings(various types) loads of planters, decking and patio flags.They have car parking. This is a useful rather than exciting garden centre. This company used to have another branch that recently closed and this branch feels a little cluttered. They used to carry a large range of gifts, candles & cards . They still have some but not much. This garden centre is great for buying plants (particularly out of season)but it is a no frills type of place.

Makro seems to have got stuck in the past. In the 10 or so years I have been shopping here…read more(rarely), I can't remember a time it has ever changed. It is very dark and dingy. Sometimes a bargain is available but most things seem to be overpriced especially for a cash and carry. Tesco usually have better deals on! I have never seen a rush of people here or a rush of staff for that matter. On my last visit I think there were only two other customers in the place but when I came to the tills to pay I still had to wait and the lady who served me was verging on rude! I only go here when I am desperate for something I can't find elsewhere.

We used this store (and the one in Knowsley) for the whole time we ran a pub. After a short period…read morethe store offered us a Gold card due to the amount we were spending there. We told them that we only spent so much because the offers and general prices were always so good, but yes thanks. This enabled us to use a different door (actually better than it sounds when you come out with a trolley-full of stuff and don't have to push it all over the carpark) and a dedicated till. The staff always proved to be extremely helpful when asked. I think those who have complained about the attitudes, possibly didn't make their requests clearly enough, or were aggressive in manner, but can't really comment further. Yes, there are times when they don't have stocks of some items I am sure every business has run out of something at one time or another, especially when they have as many customers as Makro do.
