Tong Garden Centre Reviews

Great place to satisfy your gardening requirements. The new cafe is amazing and not bad on the wallet either.

Lovely garden centre with an amazing play centre for the kids. Pre book online. Fantastic facilities and good food.

Got what we needed but too busy and didn't enjoy the experience

Good good in restaurant. Good variety of plants and other goods and a wonderful children's play area

Has to be the best garden centre for a Christmas display and the cafe is so nice could easy spend a few hours walking around.

Went for breakfast can't be beaten on quality and price

So much to see very reasonable prices ,restaurant food really tasty would recommend for everyone .

Very good choice of goods, excellent breakfasts . One of the best I've been to .

Nice place to browse around, especially the food and drink! Grasshoppers is a great play area to for kids (entry fee).

Visited for the first time on Sunday. It is huge & looked very well organised & laid out. We only bought some plants which look very healthy. The only downside was our experience at the checkouts. The young girl couldn't be bothered even looking at us or even saying 'Hi'. She only opened her mouth to chat to her colleague next to her and to tell us how much we owed. Very rude & a shame that it marred our experience.

Like to take my grandson here to see the animals.. it's a bit pricey, great Xmas venue.

Wheelchair friendly 'great to look round ' nice cafe

Good selection of plants and home products. Lovely cafe too, if not a little overpriced.

Wow beautiful place but the prices are quite extotionate

Very friendly staff, lots of verity, well worth a visit

Great place. Amazing selection of locally sourced food, the usual garden centre fair and the kids play area at the back is awesome, any kid will be worn out by the time you leave.

We have been going to Tong for years . Love it. The staff are very polite and helpfull. Full marks from me and my family.

Good tidy and well presented displays everything for the gardener well done will return when back in the area

Spent the day here today, first can I just say this is so much more then a garden centre the name does not do it justice! My son (18months) had an amazing time. The kids area was so much bigger and better then i had seen in photos. We had burgers a toastie and ice cream all was 100%. On the way out from the kids area we visited the fish and small animals section and fed the fish not once but twice as my LO enjoyed it so much. On the way out brought some delicious cupcakes. Everything was priced well and we all had a blast without breaking the bank 10 outta 10 5* day. Thanks and we will definitely see you all soon

Best garden centre in W Yorks, especially at Christmas.

Garden centre plus the shops lovely time to browse, the plants amazing quality

Old school garden centre replaced with wider commercialisation and enflated prices.

Lovely visit, lovely things to buy and great butchery department. Enjoyed our visit.

excellent food, and very varied selection of products to buy.

Great place to bring kids big Sandy play area loads of activities and trampoline s .kids can't get out . You can buy food or bring your own .loads of seating to watch kids .drinks ice cream ect toilets nice cafe.you pay a price to access play area .bot I think it's worth it .kids will love it can run free locked in safe. Loads of plants and orther stuff

Bright lovely centre, loads on display outdoor clothes, furniture.

Christmas grotto was so much better, the boys was walking out of the garden centre so pleased they met the real farther Christmas.

Lovely garden centre but a bit pricey. Good food but was very busy this week . The Christmas grotto was a little disappointing after the good reviews I'd read about it .

Nice place to go for a day. Has mountain warehouse and a few furniture things. It's not the cheapest place but well worth a visit.

Great selection of plants, garden gear and decorations, cards and gifts. Nice cafe / restaurant too.

Fantastic garden centre. Especially during the festive time of year. Cafe on the expensive side and a little basic but clean and friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely place. Grasshoppers is fantastic now. The staff are so very friendly and the plants ate good value too

Great range of plants, in winter plenty of choice of Christmas decorations.

Great place lots of variety... best garden centre I've been to and they're not my cup of tea.

Pricey but nice place for a walk around, cafe, shops and butchers, and of course gardening stuff including extensive garden furniture on show.

Very well organised and orderly, plenty of room for social distancing and everyone wearing masks. Felt safe.

It is now too commercial and why Do you need a clothes shop?????

Nice for a look around prices on the pond plants a bit confusing

Good place and more building work ongoing. Probably the best garden centre around here.

Went for a picnic table cover which they didn't have but its a great independent garden centre come most other things and they sell my most favourite crisps (slabs) which I've only ever seen before in the farmshop style services on the M5 (think its the Gloucester services)

Well laid out. Very nice restaurant with delicious cakes. The scones are enormous!!

Great for shopping and the big kids play area out back (Grasshoppers) is excellent! Could do with a better selcetion of house plants but cant drop the rating just for that as the whole experience is 100% 5* throughout.

Great place all round. I personally love the aquatic section.

Stunning xmas decks display the animated scenes were fab.The covid scare has all but killed the independents franchise here we were visiting to shop at the outdoor store it's gone and left a huge area that has been filled with Pavers shoes this not many choices inside , Bonmarche still active plus Pavers and Aquatics but little else .Nice butchery dept but expensive as is the Cafe with a great selection but expensive , that said still the best KFC for a visit.

Well maintained. Really helpful staff. Lovely food in the cafe.

Love this place. It Has almost everything from lunch to clothes. Well worth a visit

Great garden centre not much it doesn't sell even the kids play area is good and plenty to do. The cafe is great too

Nice enough place. Fair selection of plants and shrubs but a bit pricey. Feel more emphasis on items other than plants per se.

The food in the cafe is really great and they have a great wide range of products

Was disappointed with the lack of the outlets. Last time we were there there were a few more.

Large garden center, good plants and lots of extra little shops,

Very nice cafe - plenty of parking and well stocked shopping area

A very varied garden centre with lots to see took my mum & auntie for tea & cake for my mum's birthday had a good look around and made some purchases till my next visit from London

Well stocked garden centre and some reasonable prices

Not your traditional garden centre. Lot's to do and great food.

Lovely place to visit. Great Cafe. Something for everyone.

Great shop, wonderful Christmas displays. Especially the Christmas model village.

The worst thing about Tong Garden centre is leaving with your bank balance in tatters! The breakfasts in the cafeteria at the back are great for a weekend treat.

Lovely place it's huge. Full of just about everything you need/want at a garden centre. Lovely area for the family. Great eating areas. Free car parking.

They are forcing the Mountain Warehouse store to close so that they can expand their food court. They are building a large extension in which they could have offered MW a new space, which they have not. This is putting the MW team out of work in the middle of a pandemic, with the economic devastation of Brexit just around the corner.
Shame on Tong Garden Centre's owner/senior manager.
The MW staff and centre staff are lovely, but the actions of the management are shameful.

Tong, please manage your staff on the information desk. Every time I have to queue for help, there was either no members of staff to be seen, or there were more staff than customers queuing.

On the latter, there were five members of staff, one of whom was dealing with a customer, one sat staring at a cumputer screen and ignoring the customers, two staff sat looking at a lap top occasionally looking up (ignoring the customers waiting) and intermittently asking about the internet connection. The last member of staff seemed to stand in the background looking for something that wasn't convincing.

At no time did anyone approach us to say "we'll be with you shortly" etc.

Looking around the shop there seems to be a lot of memebers of staff. Management you need to train your staff to engage with your customers.
