HOUSE PLANTS

The range of house plants for sale was small at this garden centre. They seemed to be arranged as an after-thought. The quality and prices were good.

AQUATICS AND PETS

Aquatics and pet centre There was a combined aquatics and pet centre at Wentworth Garden Centre. They stock a good range of small pets and birds with lots of accessories and feeds.

There was a reasonable range of marine and tropical fish for sale along with a range of tanks and fish feeds.

OTHER FEATURES

Kids are well-catered for. The swings and slides were excellent and free to use.

A little further down was the entrance to the children's farm. There was a charge for this (click the picture on the left to see them). It's well worth a visit and will keep young children amused for an hour or so.


Crafts Centre On site is a small craft centre with four or five shops. Included is an excellent butchers. To the right is one picture from the gardens at the Wentworth.

Gardens at Wentworth Garden Centre


Knot garden The gardens are well worth a visit. They have been designed for year round interest. Entrance is free although there is a box for donations towards the reconstruction costs.


CAFE
 

Outside seating area for cafe The cafe is clean but basic. It is also very popular with the locals and has pleasant homely atmosphere. As well as an indoor seating area it has a pleasant outdoor area, see picture on left. There were some queues at peak times, up to ten minutes. Main meals were in the range �4 to �6. Sandwiches and rolls were generally under �3. Hot potatoes with fillings were �3 to �4. Tea, coffee and a good range of cakes were also available.


Meal at Wentworth garden Centre cafe

The Wentworth Garden Centre cafe serves excellent home-cooked food using top quality ingredients. No fussy, fiddly bits, just plain top quality food. The prices, for this type of food, are excellent. We can thoroughly recommend the beef pie and the meat lasagne.
Main meals are served to your table by pleasant and helpful staff.

Kids meals are also available at �2.50. We thoroughly recommend this cafe.

DISABLED FACILITIES
Excellent with wide paths in almost all places. Wheelchairs are available at the entrance for no cost.

TOILETS
The toilets were basic, not up to the standard of most large garden centres.

CAR PARKING

The car park at the Wentworth Garden Centre is huge, a reflection of its popularity. Some is on hard ground but some is on grass.

On foot, there is no problem but if you are a wheelchair user search out the designated spaces near the entrance. Pushing a wheelchair from the far end of the car par will be hard work.
