Barton Grange Garden Centre

Lovely store great food and very helpful staff. Although some things are overpriced there are some lovely things to buy for home and garden and I love the activities for children that take place from time to time.

Very large and very posh garden centre with an appropriate price tag. Vast range of products including a large cook shop with everything from Denby to Jamie Oliver. Huge selection of plants both indoor and outdoor and all the associated sundries large and small. One nice touch they have is an information department in the midst of all the plants, handy for less expert gardeners and far easier than trudging around with a plant in hand trying to find a member of staff in such a large establishment. Gifts, garden furniture, lighting, barbecues etc. etc. There's a choice of two places to eat; The Riverside cafe which provides informal dining, snacks and a children's menu whilst the Willows Restaurant provides waitress service for morning tea, a lunchtime menu and traditional afternoon tea. As a somewhat reluctant gardener though the star here for me is the 'Farm Shop'. This is an Aladdin's cave of posh tucker! Delight upon delight is laid out on shelves large and small to tempt the tastebuds of any self respecting foodie. It has everything you might expect to find and more from the excellent butcher's department to fresh breads, cheeses, immaculately presented fruit and vegetables and shelf upon shelf of deliciousness large and small. A word of warning though, it does all come with the aforementioned price tag so try not to get too carried away as you wander round with your trolley! :-)
