Hilltop Garden Centre, Coventry
(page 2)
HOUSE PLANTS
Hilltop garden centre did not sell any house plants at the time of
our visit.
OTHER FEATURES
 |
All the normal sales area (gifts, tools, fertilisers, compost
etc.) were there in common with other garden centres of this size.
In addition to these, Hilltop provide an unusually comprehensive
range of fencing, paving, chipping and good quality outdoor
furniture. |
DISABLED FACILITIES
The floor was flat and most of the aisles were wide enough for a
wheelchair. Wheelchairs were available at the entrance for no cost.
AQUATICS AND PETS
No pets or fish were sold at this garden centre. However an adequate
range of pet and fish feeds / accessories were available.
CAFE FACILITIES
The Busy Lizzie cafe area was reasonably pleasant with seating
indoors and outside under cover. The range of food was limited and
unadventurous. The menu consisted of filled rolls, baked potatoes and
various sausage, bacon and egg combinations. A range of fresh cream
cakes was also on sale to go with your tea or coffee.
The prices were definitely low, for example only £1.50
for sausage and egg. Tea was 90p and coffee 99p. The quality of the food
we tasted was acceptable. The major problem was the queue. With only
four groups in front of us, we waited 15 minutes to be served. Some time
and motion studies are required to get the speed of service up to an
acceptable level.
We would sum this cafe as cheap and cheerful but with
major speed of service problems.
TOILETS
The toilets were clean with no queues.
CAR PARK
The car park was good with sufficient space and a flat surface.

SUMMARY
Hilltop Garden Centre is one of the larger garden centres / nurseries in
the Coventry area and is a good choice for all your plants and gardening
needs. Staff are plentiful and helpful. The only let down is the cafe
but this will undergo changes and a refurbishment in the not too distant
future.
