Tavernspite garden centre, Whitland

Stopped by here on our way back from a wonderful holiday in Pembrokeshire, mainly for a bite to eat but also to look at the plants on offer. What a great find this place turned out to be, it’s a fixture for next time we’re in the area. The tea room is great, excellent food, very reasonable prices, and very friendly service. Fantastic range of plants as well. Everyone here was so friendly, we loved it.

What a place.
This has to be the best garden centre ever! It has absolutly everything, beautiful grounds and display gardens, and the opertunity to take you time plodding along taking in all the beauitful plants and flowers. There is so much choice its great. All types of plants etc are clearly located and easily found. It is a family run buisness and has been going for years.. and gets bigger and better everytime i go. The owners mr and mrs webb live onsite next to the centre, and are the most friendly people you will ever meet.. they are always found walking around chatting to the customers, or with people coming and going from the house. Mr webb still works around the gardens although most of the running of the place is taken on by his son.. and also a few other fantastic members of staff, who are all brilliant, and make you feel so welcome. You can tell mr webb is around as he is always whistling. There is a parot called perkins who has been there as long as i can remember, who can whistle just like mr webb. The parrot also wolf whistles, and says a few words. there used to be a few donkeys and sheep that would often be seen popping their heads over the gate saying hello.. but as time has passed on so sadly have they. Mrs webb used to run the cafe which years ago was the tea room,.. no more than a little wooden shed.. that kept getting extentions! but as it got busyer and busyer and much larger the running of the place has been taken over by another local buisness, the nant-y-ffyn hotel, this at first was a little strange… no more of mrs webbs fantastic steak pies, but it is still fantastic, and their sunday lunches are the best around. It’s a perfect place to relax on summers day.. meet the locals, catch up, have a cuppa and a meal and buy all you need for your garden, from statues, furniure, orniments, sheds, plants tools and soils. Its really does have it all! The webbs are always sooo friendly and very very knowlegable… they know everything you’'ll ever need to know about the garden! The views from the centre are also incredible looking over to the preselli mountains…. perfect, I totally recomend it!!!

Have to agree with the above statement there! This place after so many years still hasn’t lost its personal touch and I hope it never will! Has knowledgable staff and all the goodies you need for your garden!Mr and Mrs Webb are always around and you can’t beat having a good ol’ chin wag with them.
I can’t talk about this place without mentioning the tea rooms either! The food, the place, the staff! I’ve always found them to be very friendly and will always make you feel at home. No request is too much for them either! Main meals during the week are delish and the puddings on a sunday- heaven! Be prepared to give up your diet when you come here!
