FOOD TYPE: Coffee / tea, cakes, drinks, snack meals

DECOR: Basic plastic table and chairs. The cafe is set, rather poorly, into the main garden centre area
OUTDOOR SEATING: n/a None
SERVICE: We have found the queues and service consistently good at the Coffee Ground Cafe.

The first thing you notice when you park and enter this garden centre is that it has something of a "split personality". One car park outside the main entrance and another, the larger one, across the road. Then when you enter the interior sales area it all looks quite small until you realise there is another area the other side of the plants area.
The plants area itself is that of a medium sized garden centre with solid tarmac paths. The plant bays are on the small size and arranged in an attractive fashion. The plant grouping signs are good as is the individual plants information. The plants area has nothing outstanding but is better arranged than many other garden centres. About a third of the plants are under cover from rain.
The plants themselves are in top condition and hardy plants come with a five year guarantee. The choice of plants is good for the space available and Beaconsfield Garden Centre have a better than normal choice of trees and more mature plants. This is a very wealthy part of England and they have judged their market well.
Prices are about average for this area and type of garden centre. Roses start from £8.99, an average shrub such as a potentilla starts at £7.99, 1 litre of Tomorite is £4.49.
SIZE: Medium
PLANT SELECTION: A reasonable choice. Good quality with a lifetime hardy plant guarantee, no specialist areas
LAYOUT: Uninteresting but functional. A large proportion of the area is under cover
VALUE FOR MONEY: Average
LAYOUT: Uninspiring but clean and functional
