As a new customer, I recently received my order of summer bedding plants (Order 2453) via Royal Mail, and I am absolutely delighted.

What sets Richard’s garden centre apart is his unique selling point: he supplies significantly larger, healthier plants compared to the typical small plugs offered by many larger suppliers. Each plant arrives in its own generous 10.5 cm pot, which speaks volumes about the quality and care taken.

Richard’s personal service is exceptional and truly unmatched in my experience. It’s incredibly satisfying to support an independent, family-run business where quality and customer care are clearly top priorities.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Thank you so much, Richard, for such a wonderful experience.

I’ve attached a photo to highlight the size and quality of the Begonias and Pelargoniums I ordered — the difference is clear.

Amazingly quick service. Did what they said they would and kept me in the loop. Could not recommend them more. Thanks

The photos I have uploaded here are from two years or more ago, but I am willing to bet the theme has not radically changed, though the prices on the menu may have.
The theme is nostalgia heavy and as there are fewer and fewer people left with first hand experience of the second world war, so places like this at least have interesting artefacts to make the past less abstract.
The food is good, but allow yourself time if you come here so you don't have to rush.

Excellent!! Came to our home in Barton Seagrave to replace a damaged tyre, the technician was friendly and knowledgeable, price was very reasonable, online booking was quick and easy to use, will definitely be recommending and will definitely use their services again if required. Thank you 🤩

I booked breakfast here for me and my partner as I wanted to pick up some local honey, so thought we’d make the most of it.

What a great little place! The food was fantastic quality, presented beautifully, and very reasonably priced for what you get. The loose leaf teas were a lovely touch too.

We’ll 100% be coming back.

There was also a nice car meet going on when we visited on the Sunday, which was great to see—as a bit of a petrol head myself, that was a bonus!
