Bardills have been trading for 119 years and it's no coincidence that they offer excellent plants and service. This is a very friendly garden centre which also has an extensive aquatics department.

PLANTS AREA

The outdoor plants area is very pleasantly laid out with lots of island, displays, nooks and crannies to make it very easy to wander round. The plants are in alphabetic order in most areas with some signs to indicate the location of major plant groups.
The range of plants for sale is extensive and they all look in good condition. At the time we visited Bardills Garden Centre there was a very large range of roses on display.

INDOOR SALES AREA

The indoor sales area is also large with a huge stock of garden and conservatory furniture and barbecues. A full range of other garden accessories was also for sale including feeds, garden tools, weed killers composts, pots etc.
There is an extensive range of house plants displayed in a very attractive manner. These represent good value and looked healthy.

The whole of the indoor area had been set out very attractively. It was modern but had the feel of a traditional garden centre, and effect which many other garden centres are unable to replicate.

CAFE

The cafe at Bardills Garden Centre has very attractive indoor and outdoor seating areas. The covered area is pleasantly wood panelled, both the sides and the ceiling, which gave the cafe a log-cabin feel to it. The tables and chairs are traditionally styled in wood. No plastic at this cafe!

There is a large range of food to choose from with daily specials coming in at around �5.50.

The daily carvery costs �8, toasties �3.25 and jacket potatoes from �2.75 to �3.95. There is a full range of breakfasts served from 9am to 11.30am. This is clearly very popular because when we tasted the food at around 10am the cafe was already filling up. The quality of the food is very good as is the very pleasant service.
