PLANTS AND PRODUCTS

It's unusual to find an outlet of Wyevale Garden Centres which actually grows some of its own plants but the Old Barn Nursery and Garden Centre is just that. This is a large garden centre, 94th largest in the UK judged by turnover.

The plants area has been laid out in attractive manner with several interesting displays to keep customers interested. A good portion of it is under cover making shopping for many of the plants possible even on rainy days. The paths are wide, level and clutter free, wheelchair access is very good all round.

The inside sales area is very large and makes for a good few hours shopping time, not necessarily all to do with gardening!

A few times a year there are guided tours of the nursery which last around an hour. These are free and well worth attending. Click here for details of the tour which we went on in May.

THE CAFE AT OLD BARN GARDEN CENTRE

This is a large garden centre and they have both a snack cafe and a larger one selling a wide variety of meals. The smaller cafe is brightly decorated with a low roof, good for a snack and feeding the kids. The larger cafe is in a 17th Century barn which has lots of character. The ceiling is high with beautiful wooden beams, overall a very pleasant place to eat. The tables and chairs are in keeping with the setting being solid wood and cottage style.

A meal from the Old Barn cafe

We sampled a Caesar Salad (click picture above to enlarge) and a baked potato. The salad was excellent and exactly what we expected. Lots of chicken, croutons, different salad leaves and a reasonably authentic dressing - an excellent attempt at a Caesar Salad. The baked potato was hot, well-cooked and had lots of filling. Overall the food we tasted was good quality, reasonably priced and served promptly and pleasantly.

Outdoor seating area

As well as the a very attractive indoor seating area there is also a courtyard shared between the two cafes. This is used as an outdoor seating area and is a very pleasant open space to enjoy the food and drinks on a warm day.

The cafe was awarded a five star rating for food hygiene by the Food Standards Agency in October 2011.
