However, there is a very pleasant country pub a minute's drive from Wyevale's (the White Lion) which serves excellent, well-priced food and has a good range of beers.

Turn right out of Wyevale, across the roundabout immediately in front of you and the White Lion is about a half a mile on your right.

For a medium-sized garden centre the range of plants was fine. Surprisingly Wyevale's appears to be the largest garden centre in Coventry, so the range is as good as you will get in Coventry.

Wyevale offer a five year guarantee on all their perennial plants which is very encouraging, showing confidence in the quality of their plants.

It was not easy to locate some plants because the signs were not sufficient. The main groupings are OK (roses, azaleas etc) but try and find a potentilla for example and it's not so clear.

There was no attended help desk or information centre in this garden centre but that's the normal for a garden centre of this size.

The quality of most plants looked reasonable but there were several specimens dotted around which looked on their last legs.

Wyevale offer a "double the difference" if you find a plant cheaper at a garden centre or nursery within 10 miles. We haven't seen this at other Wyevale garden centres, maybe Coventry is leading the way!
