Had a nice afternoon here today. We arrived a little early but we're unable to sit down until our…read morebooked time as they were so busy. Not a negative thing though as we shouldn't have got there that early. We were sat down at the table and offered a glass of prosecco or soft drink. I opted for a ginger beer and the girlfriend had a pink prosecco. We then shared the valentines picnic bench. The presentation is cool and you receive it on a wooden bench. You got a good variety of things. However, in my opinion, the amount you receive is not quite enough. You only get 2 small sandwiches and cakes. I do eat a lot though so it is probably enough for most people. Overall a nice afternoon out.

I have been trying to buy a Lugarde log cabin from this company for the past 3 months. All my…read moreattempts to contact the director by email, in person, by telephone and text to facilitate the purchase have been ignored. Bizarre behaviour from Carr Bank Garden Centre. I have taken my business to a competitor and have received exemplary service from them.

The emphasis is on the goods they sell, not on teas and cakes and pointless expensive ornaments. Far better than the local competition (Beetham)

What a house of wonder! Chase really isn't kidding when he says it sells everything, it really does…read moresell pretty much everything you might need for your home. From cleaning products, kitchen items, DIY bits and bobs, cheap snacks, cards and so much more - they've got it covered. If you're a keen shopper/browser it's a veritable treasure chest to explore. My particular favourite is the upstairs section. Here's where the items get slightly less bargainous and become a little higher end... They've beds, lamps and all other kinds of home furnishings in a range of styles. Faux-antique right through to the more modern sleek look. I bought an awesome 'telephone box' lamp for my room at home, which is so kitsch and delightful and only set me back £15. (I can imagine it costing a ton more in a vintage shop!) My Mum was particularly overjoyed with a red painted vase that she picked up as well, of which they had many different shades! So, there's plenty to get excited about, and not too pricey as well. However, all that glitters is not gold. I did come away having purchased a few oil reed scent dispensers (the pots of oils with the wooden reeds) and they simply don't work at all. They were only a pound each, but I can see why they were so cheap as they give off no scent at all! Even so, I'm pleased as punch with my lamp so that more than makes up for it!

I was first introduced to QLM by my new wife (I change them quite often, not really if you're…read morereading this love) just after we set up home together. It was the first time I'd been in a shop which I cannot categorize by what it sells, IT SELLS EVERYTHING !! From bleach to crisps, rugs to xbox games, they have almost everything under one roof. The only thing I can say lets it down is a lack of electrical goods like TV's but if you're looking for a pack of brass tacks and a birthday card for auntie Mabel this is a good place to start........ and if you're feeling tired you can nip upstairs and pretend you're testing a bed out :)
