Tong Garden Centre Review

Well set out and a good selection of healthy looking plants

You can easily spend a whole day here as the garden centre has a clothes shop a fish aquarium, cafe, restaurant and of course a garden centre which I personally think is good but, could be a little better for the size, compared to some other garden centres.

Excellent place for shopping could spend the whole day there and not see everything

Website totally useless ! I have tried in the past entering things that should certainly be shown , every time , nothing ! Tried tonight (18/10/17) entered "plant pot stands" , nothing , entered "plant pots", nothing . Crazy!!

Brilliant, much improved over the last couple of years. Christmas department, and food hall are great. Houseplant selection could be better.

Busy place. Cafe has something for everyone. Well set out and worth a browse.

Lots of scope and plenty to do even though prices are a bit expensive Staffordshire helpful

Great selection of clothing, food and gifts as well as gardening.

Brilliant displays with an abundance of things to choose from and all at a reasonable price. Bring back Snyder's Original Pretzel Crisps in the blue packet please.

I really enjoyed today with the grandkids Santa's grotto was superb I shall be going again 5 stars

Fantastic place for garden furniture and every imaginable kind of plant

Disappointed at the selection of autumn bedding and basket plants available

Tong is by far one of the best garden centers we visit.

The food at the cafe at the back is fantastic (I highly recommend their scones - stacked high with cream and made in-house!) and freshly made.

Kids will also get enjoyment out of the fish center. There's a large koy pool and you can pay to feed them.

Parking is more than ample. There's overflow parking and the place never seems too crowded, despite the number of cars there.

The place is like fairyland but the food in the restaurant is very expensive .

1st time ever at Tong Garden Centre. I was really impressed with everything they've got to do with Xmas. The variety & range is vast. Also surprised how big the place is. It has everything you need. The only thing that was disappointing was More

great variety in garden furniture although they could expand their pond area. staff were helpful

A great garden centre can get most anything there great place to take children too

Huge place, MUCH much than just a garden centre. Food, clothes, pets and much more. Plus the huge outdoor space for children which is amazing. Well worth a visit for the playground alone and also the food in the cafe is extremely good quality.

It was a lovely shopping experience. All the staff without exception were so friendly and so very helpful. The store far exceeded my expectations. It was my first visit and I'll have to be going much more in future!!

I went there during Christmas times first time going there and it didn't dispoint me. They great Christmas decorations nice outdoor garden God varieties of stuff

Great day out. Plenty to do with the kids. The outdoor play park is amazing.

This garden centre is gorgeous it is brilliant we go there when we go to my son's at Bradford.And there xmas decoration start at the end of October. They also have a play area where you can take young people.And there meat they have on specials and it is gorgeous.

Seemed a little expensive on the plants. Cafe was nice but the hot chocolate way too sugary. Otherwise a nice experience

Turning into a shopping centre slowly, personally I think garden centre as gone and very expensive.

Very large. Need to spend more time there.
Good quality plants

Excelent and friendly staff with a good choice of aquatic products and tropical fish at maidenhead aquatics. The garden center itself is bit over priced.

Some items can be expensive but most garden centers are the same in that respect. This place comes into its own at Christmas! The whole place comes alive with great stock and can easily kill an hour or 2 just to get into the festive spirit.

Fantastic place for Kids in play area, excellent cafe if somewhat expensive.

Love there selection of plants not keen on the cafe

Huge garden, home & outdoor centre. Lots on offer at good prices. I'd say this place is more up market than your smaller back street stores. Its got a good cafe and small food market offering a good variety of products. Fantastic seasonal displays and selection of products. This years Christmas offerings are a must.

Good selection of plants and garden equipment, although the restaurant is too expensive.

Tong garden centre upon arrival, 12.15, Friday 27th September, was a hive of activity. Staff, shop workers and customers were in abundance. The stock overflow of departments was confusing, too much to consume and an array of sparkling colour arrangements.
The social activity of the cafe was relaxing and efficiently run. Food was appetising and plentiful. I found the purchase that I needed at a reasonable price. Look forward to a return visit.

Good garden centre, gets very busy at weekends and near Christmas.

Everything for your garden under one roof I could spend hours looking around.

After a lovely day out walking the dog in Tong decided to call here for a browse of Christmas bargains. Not much left unfortunately and disappointed that I couldn't take the dog in. Most garden centres now allow well behaved dogs so hubby had to wait outside while I had a quick browse. The person serving me on the till said it was due to food hygiene rules however been to Wyevale and Gordon Riggs and they have a separate area in the cafe where dogs are allowed!!

Had a lovely afternoon in Tong Garden centre in the play area with my husband Stan and our Great Grandson Charlie and myself Denise. Lovely watching Charlie in the play area having a wonderful time in one of his favourite places and then into the shop to look at the amazing Christmas displays. Tong g/c have really excelled themselves this year. We spent quite a bit of money on Christmas presents and a new Ferris wheel for our Christmas village, can't wait for Christmas now

Excellent for everything... fresh farm food. Plants. Fish. Walking Clothing. Garden furniture...

Nice selection of products, but some items a bit over priced

A fabulous place , the Xmas decorations on sale are great , the food in the cafe is lovely and the staff are very friendly and welcoming .

Great for a garden equipment, especially worth a visit around Christmas time for their decorations. We like to visit the pet section as my daughter is obsessed with the fish.

Major building works - lots of areas closing or closed off with boxes piled up waiting to be unpacked. Also reduction in external plant stocks due to building site so no summer houses on display. Slightly disappointing but I am sure once completed and the internal sorted out will look stunning

Love it here staff are friendly and the freah food you can buy here is fab

Amazing garden centre with many other shopping areas inside. Play area currently closed for expansion and upgrade

Good choice. Not as expensive as some garden centres

Very full interesting garden centre. Love going there at Christmas. Good selection of gifts etc. Cafe is good too.

Plenty of gift ideas but found same candle cheaper in Aldi. .. great cafe

Lovely garden centre but found it ridiculous that they dont sell lawn mowers but sell bedding linen and pillows?

Much improved but pricing in cafes is extortionate. If a couple took, say, three children to eat there, they'd need a second mortgage. Having said all that, i do like Tong, just don't use the cafes

There are great displays around the place and the cafe is very good. Lovely coffee !!!

One of the best garden centres i have ever been too! The plants part itself is well looked after and looks great,the cafe is amazing and the aquatic part is very well laid out!

A vast and all encompassing centre with everything you might need. From plants to bbq and garden furniture and buildings. Also on site is an excellent children's play area!

Lots of choice of healthy plants. Plenty of parking.

Was good looking round and had something too eat really recommend

Always an enjoyable experience, but not good for my bank balance. Definitely recommend a visit.

I visit Tong garden Centre every Christmas and I have to say I was a little disappointed this year. Unless I missed something I didn't think it was the magical christmassy display I have seen in the past that children could get excited about.
The cafe was also disappointing. It wasn't particularly busy but had to wait ages to be served at the hot food counter and customers didn't seem to know which end of the counter they should queue in fact it was very confusing.
The hot Turkey and stuffing sandwich was completely tasteless. The area we were sat in was closed off while we were eating and the staff began sweeping the floors around us which apart from being unhygienic made us feel very uncomfortable.
All I all not a very enjoyable visit and I think will give it a miss next year.

A must for all to visit, where you can grab a coffee or a full meal in the restaurant. Offers a huge range of products

Well stocked, helpful staff and a good variety of products

A very chilling experience,under covid conditions as good as you could get.

This place is amazing for shopping and for taking the kids to do something active at the Grasshoppers play area

You name it they will have it, We need one down here x

Went primarily for Grass Hoppers and my 2 year old absolutely love it along with the fish area. Would definitely recommend visiting if in the area with small children.

Tong Garden Centre great place plants, deli, coffee shop, cafe also shops dress,bedding, butchers anything you could want they have a discount on Weds. all you need is their green card which you get at customer services
Forgot to mention children's playground and garden furniture and much more. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely loved it. We went to the indoor play for the first time today. They have a separate 0-3 area, my 14m old girl loved it. The icecream was amazing, best iv had in a long time and very good portion size. The Christmas decorations are absolutely beautiful as usual, so lovely for kids! Will be back again very soon

The center itself is brilliant just avoid the cafe way overpriced and definitely not worth the money.

Kids enjoyed the play area and its fab its pre bookable so you know you can get in! The garden centre is fab, bought some gorgeous christmas decorations.

Definitely worth a trip!

Great customer service very help full some beautiful stuff I spent over a grand tut for the garden today Thursday free dilivery get it on monday carnt wait excellent coffee shop very pleasant staff great day out even if you didnt buy anything but bet you will well worth a visit

It's a fantastic shopping experience! The staff are extremely helpfull, the eatery is brilliant and good value on top of great food. Go for an afternoon tea with a friend or family. There's something for everyone at Tong garden centre. Some gift ideas that are very select and unavailable at most other retail outlets..I can't recommend it enough, you won't be disappointed.
