If you can't find what you need on first look then feel free to ask them as they will probably have it hidden on one of the shelves, but if they don't then they'll be more than willing to order it in for you. This hardware store also offers an invaluable service of key cutting and can do it whilst you wait for a very reasonable price (better the other branches in Plymouth that I've found). The staff are very friendly and are always willing to help you with anything they can!!

(Yes, it is better than Paderno AND Barb's Kitchen.) You can get good quality S hooks here for your pots and pans; something that is hard to find in North American kitchen stores -- that is because we rarely get European quality items. Great selection of kitchen scale (albeit expensive) and molds for chocolate and cookie cutters. Pastry chefs would not be disappointed. I wish my luggage could fit the 8" round cake liners. Superb customer service. After endless food photography and scenery shots, I ran out of memory on my SD card, they carry that as well. If only we weren't travelling on backpacks... 160 Canadian dollars later, yikes. My husband should have hidden my credit card in a jar of lard, but the new additions are going to be well loved. What a lovely shop!

My husband and I have previously bought a green cheek conure from endsleigh back in 2012 and he was…read moreperfect happy and healthy. At the end of last year we went to visit family and thought we would go in again and have a look around. I went to have a look at the pets and spotted another green cheek conure shoved in a bottom cage with no price. My husband went to enquire as something wasn't right and the more I looked at this conure the heartbroken I got. He had plucked his chest feathers, his posture was awful, his beak was very dry and flakey and he looked very underweight. He just looked sad. I cried in the store. The staff said he had been there for two years, he had no toys and was being fed budgie food, not appropriate for a small parrot. I didn't want another bird but I could not leave him, I bought him and felt awful about the other birds as they didn't look much better! He was £152, I know I can get a breeding pair of conures for less than £90 and they would be in perfect condition. We did get a discount tho. Upon returning home I emailed several times with pictures about his condition with no response. So forget it I thought. Then weeks later he started to have seizures. Off to the vets we went and £100 later after tests the vet said he was in appalling condition and even she felt awful for him, underweight, bad condition, mentally scared and as he had no toys he hasn't learnt any bird skills and just sits all day in his cage doing nothing. Even though he has plenty of toys he doesn't know what to do with them. I am utterly disgusted with endsleigh and their treatment if animals. If it was someone who wasn't clued up on birds, they may have gotten away with it, how can you treat a poor animal in such a way, it breaks my heart and is utterly disgraceful. I have not ever had a reply. The vet said it will take up to 2 years for his condition to get back to normal, and I am so happy that he is finally in a caring home that loves him. Endsleigh, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Visited October 2014

The sold - off pet store is stocked with budget brands, all the small pets and exotics have gone and the Knowledgeable staff replaced by cheap to employ kids. The non garden part of the store has slipped down market, with the premium products that used to be on offer replaced with cheap replicas. Our cafe experience was at best OK, but over priced. Again this used to provide Starbucks coffee, homemade baked goods and excellent food, we had a very expensive cod and chips which was disappointing, and small. Even the food items on the way out were of poor quality, it used to be stocked with hard to get candy and condiments, premium snacks and chocolate and all manner of goodies. It now looks like an Aldi.
