Stewarts Christchurch Garden Centre

Always worth a good wander round and a cup of tea and cake at Stewarts. Staff were friendly, efficient and helpful too. Special mention to Tyler in the cafe who was quick, friendly and helpful. We took one star off as neither of us liked the almond cake which, compared to Stewarts usual excellent cakes, was not very good.

We visited yesterday my daughter booked us to see Father Christmas and his reindeer , this is my Granddaughter 1st Christmas she is 4months old. It was a lovely experience including the grotto and Christmas scenes. We had our photos taken by the elves. Father Christmas was so adorable and believable that I told him so !!

We had lunch there in the restaurant which is extremely popular, though there was a problem with a coffee machine which stalled the queues; the colleagues were constantly updating new queue customers with the reason for the delay: great customer service.
The custard slice cake is HUGE and we got in takeaway box as a treat for later.

We Look forward to my daughter and I and my Granddaughter returning next Christmas when she will be as excited about the experience as we were.🎄

We will definitely make a habit out of popping there for garden supplies and for lunch too.

I recommend the Christmas experience to everyone with children.

Love Stewart's especially at Xmas. Trees were a good price this year...less than I paid for the same height at b n q and nicer tree. Coffee shop always has lovely food

Very nice store and a very nice Christmas display with real reindeer. Seeing the reindeer is free of charge unless you would like to make a small donation in the charity pot.

Took our grandchildren to visit Santa on Sunday. Amazing experience with real reindeer and magical setting. Highly recommended!

Always a treat to visit. Today we concentrated less on plants but thoroughly enjoyed Edward's with hot chocolate, coffee, a delicious Coronation Chicken sandwich on fresh granary bread with a slaw and mixed salad on the side, and fruit scone with butter jam and cream. Tremendous Christmas displays, beautiful hardy orchids, pot covers, and amazing range of both indoor and outdoor plants.

Really enjoyed our trip, the Christmas decorations were very good and reasonable prices. I did find the cafe food quite expensive but that seems to be the norm in most places now. The store also had a great atmosphere as well.

An absolute magical time. We all love Santa grotto wonderland the best we have seen, the children get very good quality present. Stewart's have made a very magical memory for many children and family. Then we had a tea in the cafe and met the wonderful Doug the most helpful man , very good with the families. So a big thank you Stewart's.
