I've spent nearly £300 here this 2nd week in March,today the 15th I went in to buy more stuff ,I bought 3 bags of compost same bags as I bought earlier in the week as it has a sign directly above them 3 for £10 ,when I hot to check out I discovered that they were costing more than £17 ,i questioned price ,with heavy made staff member with glasses at check out she said in my opinion cheekly that's not the ones in the deal I asked which ones are the deal she said it's clearly marked ,and still after asking 4 times what's the name of the ones on the deal ,she said go look it's clearly marked ,so I went and hD a look and found that they dont have any none at all for 3 for £10 ,I said you dont have any and your signs are very misleading she said I know ,so do you or dont you want them ,I said no ,Nd later checked my receipts from earlier in the week to realise I paid more than £34 for compost which I believed was £20 , i can tell you i will never be back ,and that means never and i recommend no one else does to its exploiting pensioners in my opinion and as for this member of staff I'd never have her work for me ,the man who works there was much better but i...

Read moreOakwood is in a country setting and the restaurant has phenomenal views over sheep-filled fields and rolling hills. The staff are terrific service-wise and willingly share a laugh.

Being a garden centre Oakwood, has abundant plants everywhere including the outside seating area of the restaurant. In summer sitting out there is sublime, and enhanced further if you're a nature lover as various raptor types and deer can be spotted. Well...
