HOUSE PLANTS
There was a small range of house plants, all of which were in very good condition. The prices were average.
OTHER FEATURES
In line with other large garden centres, Whitehall has a large range of garden accessories and gifts. The range of outdoor furniture is particularly impressive.
On site is a very well-stocked craft shop. This garden centre also has a very large number of garden related activities for both adults and children. This included talks, kids activity sessions, special set menu meals with music. The list is so long that I recommend you visit their website (see the address at the bottom of this page) for full up to date details. One word of advice though, the website covers two garden centres so it can be slightly confusing. The Bristol (Whitchurch) garden centre which we are reviewing is some miles form the Lacock, Wiltshire garden centre.
CAFE
Click the picture on the right to enlarge it and see the specials menu. Whitehall's has a good range of light lunches and snacks plus an excellent selection of main meal specials.
The
standard of the food is high with no queues and the service was
excellent. The cafe has large indoor and outdoor seating in an
attractive environment.
DISABLED FACILITIES The disabled facilities were good. The floor surfaces inside and out were flat and easy for wheelchairs to use. There were disabled toilets with a ramp to access them. Wheelchairs are available at the entrance with no charge or deposit.
The majority of aisles were wide enough for wheelchairs but a few were not because of plants overflowing onto the aisles.
TOILETS The toilets were basic Portakabins which were clean and functional. Baby changing facilities are available in the disabled toilet area.
CAR PARKING
The car park was flat and dry with lots of parking places.
