HOUSE PLANTS OTHER FEATURES
In addition to these, Hilltop provide an unusually comprehensive
range of fencing, paving, chipping and good quality outdoor
furniture. DISABLED FACILITIES AQUATICS AND PETS CAFE FACILITIES
Gone were the queues of our previous visit, service was prompt and pleasant. We
visited in early December, not exactly peak time, even so the main cafe area was
full of customers.
We can now fully recommend this cafe. The decor is basic but clean and well
kept. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the food tasty and good value. Well done Ino and
staff! TOILETS CAR PARK DIRECTIONS AND CONTACT Tel: 024 7661 4752 SUMMARY COMMENTS
Hilltop Garden Centre, Coventry
(page 2)
Hilltop garden centre did not sell any house plants at the time of
our first visit. However, when we revisited in December 2008 there was an admirably good
selection of seasonal house plants. See the next page for more details.
All the normal sales area (gifts, tools, fertilisers, compost
etc.) were there in common with other garden centres of this size.
The floor was flat and most of the aisles were wide enough for a
wheelchair. Wheelchairs were available at the entrance for no cost.
No pets or fish were sold at this garden centre. However an adequate
range of pet and fish feeds / accessories were available.
We revisited this garden centre in December 2008 and it had been extensively
renovated. There was a new Italian chef, Ino, and the menu was different from
the previous very unadventurous one.
The cooking area was on display, so you know exactly how the meals are prepared. Ino
told us that all the meals were prepared freshly to order in the kitchen.
The menu was more adventurous but still offered good value. Click the pictures
on either side to see the basic menu. As well as this there were other main meal
specials on offer. Everything on the menu we saw, was under a fiver, excellent
pricing!
The food quality was good and the dishes were presented very well. Both the coffee
and tea were excellent.
The toilets were clean with no queues.
The car park was good with sufficient space and a flat surface.

Late winter 2008.
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 renovation of the cafe and the introduction of a new menu means that we fully
recommend the cafe
