HOUSE PLANTS

There was a good range of houseplants which were attractively displayed. They all looked healthy and were competitively priced. In fact, we bought one of them, you can't get a better recommendation than that!

OTHER FEATURES

There was a reasonable range of gifts and cards for sale at good prices. If quality garden furniture is what you are looking for, then a visit to Strikes should help you. It's not cheap but then quality never is. They have a good range of hard wood outdoor garden furniture.

A section of the sales area had been devoted to wicker baskets and other wicker goods. This was interesting, unusual and varied.


CAFE

We had a meal at the cafe and were very impressed. It was attractively decorated with country style pine table and chairs. Other decorations matched the theme and created a great atmosphere. Each table was decorated with it

Of all the garden centre cafes we have visited to date, this was the most pleasantly decorated. Full marks to the interior decorators / designers.


The cafe concentrates on good quality food presented attractively. Even the simple toastie ordered by one of our party was presented well, and it tasted good as well. It seems that all hot food (toasties included!) is served to your table. Service was excellent, no queues and no long wait. The prices were on the low side. Two specials were on offer when we visited, at around �5.

DISABLED FACILITIES
All the aisles in the outdoor plant area were more than wide enough for wheelchair users. The majority of the indoor aisles wre also wide enough, though a few were a bit cramped. All areas were flat surfaced and easily navigable.

TOILETS
The toilets were clean and functional. There were disabled toilets as well.

CAR PARKING
Car parking was fine with lots of spaces on flat dry ground.

SUMMARY

Strikes at Wellington Hill is an excellent garden centre in several areas. The range of plants is good and all were healthy. The staff were plentiful and helpful. The double plant guarantee is good news.

The cafe is a very pleasant place to have a snack or something more substantial. The staff are attentive and the food is well prepared and tasty. We recommend this garden centre highly.

Message: I was very dissapointed that no attempt was made by staff to attempt to privde heat at the craft demonstration. I would be very supprised if Pat Taylor was able to stay untill 4.00 without catching pneumonia.
