Online order - great from start to finish
Ordered 2 Hartman Capri Sunloungers. They arrived within days. The packaging was flawless and the loungers are splendid.
Gates were great with communicating updates, both by email and phone. Great service.

Excellent in all respects.
My husband is disabled after a stroke, So to keep him busy I ordered some H.O.P puzzles. Not only are the puzzles excellent, the price is better than anywhere else I could find. Gates give free postage over a certain price spend, delivery was quick, and they keep you informed of delivery time.
In the past I have been to Gates to eat and buy other things. Food is excellent and I will be glad when I feel safe enough and am able to return.
Thank You to all at Gates Garden Centre.

Gates Garden Centre - lovely food.
Visited Gates Garden Centre 2 days ago. It was our first time there and we felt safe shopping there. On entry there were hand sanitizers to use. We later ventured towards the restaurant (that was one of the main reasons why we decided to come here as the pic online looks very lovely.) Well we weren't disappointed, the restaurant has a lovely warm atmosphere with woodburner fires and the tables were very well spaced out. The size of restaurant is massive, so plenty of seats to find. We opted for the lunch, mum had ham, egg & chips, which we were told its proper carved ham and liked it, sis had bacon brie & chilli pannini with salad, it was a decent proportion and I decided to try the haddock & spring onion fish cakes with chips and salad. My fishcakes were tasty, I think I got the best dish as mine came with a jug of hollandaise sauce which was plentyful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

Gates Garden Centre is a great place.
Gates Garden Centre is a great place.
The staff members are very knowledgable and happy to help out and answer questions, which is great when you're a novice gardener! Also, the layout during different seasons is always well thought out, and this is my favourite garden centre to visit around Christmas time!
The restaurant is lovely too, the cakes are delicious, and I felt very safe there on my last visit with the covid measures in place.
