Visited with my twin boys on Friday. We went for the christmas crafts and the boys painted a Santa gnome. They were asked if they wanted to do the reindeer trail (which was free). We had to find the reindeers around the centre and answer questions. We put our answers on the sheet and handed it in. They each got a little goodie bag for completing it. They loved looking around all the christmas decorations. We went in the cafe for cake and ice cream and even got a few last minute bits for xmas. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. They are doing a bird event at the end of January. Will definitely be back for that.

Iv been shopping here for the past 15 years! My mum used to bring me on weekends to get some stuff for the garden! Now i bring my children! Even staff know me personally! Great shop! I love going at christmas time with all the lights! And to visit santa with the children! They always do there very best (the staff) to make effort! Lots of love for all the staff and thanks for all the hard work! Xxxxxx
Excellent breakfast ,you would need a big appetite to eat the large one!,service was quick,food was hot!.Garden centre is well stocked,and the staff very friendly.
Well this was the first time I've been disappointed with Gordon Rigg Garden Centre, i always get everything I want from here but not on this day, think i just called before before the shelves got re - stocked never mind, I will be back (fantastic garden centre & fantastic staff).
Just been to see santa paws with my little fur baby Bailey and I have to say it was worth travelling from wigan to visit. If I could rate the staff higher they would all get 10 *'s for making it special. Thank you and see you next year xxx
Fabulous Christmas department !!!
Had breakfast in the cafe too....waited 45 mins for it....but it was worth the wait....yummy !
My friend and I visited the Carvery today in Gordon's Bistro. It was very nice with a choice of meat and vegetables. The only criticism is the gravy is too near to people queueing to order non carvery food so had to squeeze in to get some.

This has to be my favorite garden centre. The staff are always so helpful .
They hav.e a great range of plants and sundries for everyone's gardening needs.
Well worth a visit.
Took my son and grandson to see Santa today. The staff were helpful added to the fun asking if the children had been good. My son has special needs and Santa and helpers let us take our time. It was just amazing.
I had a fantastic experience at Gordon Rigg Garden & Gordon's Bistro! The garden center offers a wide variety of plants and gardening supplies, and the bistro serves delicious food. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. It's a perfect place to spend a relaxing day surrounded by beautiful greenery and enjoy a tasty meal. I highly recommend it!

We express our deepest gratitude to Gordon Rigg Garden Centre for their exceptional service and the incredible offer they provided us for our palm trees. The delivery service surpassed all expectations, with a driver who demonstrated unparalleled skill and expertise. The meticulous planning and preparation by the staff to transport these magnificent palms were truly remarkable and awe-inspiring. We extend our sincerest congratulations and heartfelt appreciation to all involved.
Nice garden centre with friendly staff. Lots of choice and offers in the shop, currently spring bulbs are on offer. Great café for a quick meal or coffee.
Could spend all day in here and we've been coming here for years. 😊

They do amazing seasonal displays. At Christmas this place is so magical it really is. The staff are super friendly, always willing to help and advise. There is toilet facilities. It does have a carpark. And it's in an easy location.
Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of items and plants to choose from. This is also a pet friendly shop🐾
An amazing garden centre , excellent displays for Christmas, loved the grotto especially as many have not had them re pandemic.
Enjoyed all the displays in the garden centre and will be going back there. It was
my first visit so can't wait to see what they have for spring
Considering the current climate my first visit today I queued for 5 minutes I then went back for a second visit and only queued for 15 minutes. The staff were very helpful and polite. I even haggled a price which they thought was a good haggle. I went in this morning and seen a good setup, being VJ Day it was good to see. Well done Guys.
Want to thank publicly the colleague who works there who ( didnt manage to grabb her name) when i filled my trolley went and got a second trolley to help put my purchase of 5 large flower pots in. Came to the till and then to the car and helped pack them tightly in the boot. She then even took both trollies back so I didn't have to. Outstanding customer service thanks again and wish I'd got your name so the centre could forward my thanks.
Very nice garden centre with a good variety of plants ,trees on offer all reasonably priced although some are dearer than others .plenty of choice for any gardner ranging from small potting plants to fully established trees .A good variety of garden essentials ranging from all size and shapes of pots for your flowers to different pebbles and stones for your garden.They even sell fish onsite for ponds .There is a fully stocked shop with a wide range of gifts ,garden ornaments ,furniture seeds ,and much more .There is also an onsite restaurant with a good choice of items ranging from Sunday lunch to a simple sandwich. Highly recommended a visit if gardening is your thing .5/5
I came into your garden centre on the 12th July 23 to purchase a hanging basket. I want to say thank you so much to Tracey for taking the time to help me pick one. She is an absolute credit to Gordon Rigg.
Nice little garden centre. But its gone a little bit expensive now. You can get similar quality plants for a lot less at supermarkets now.
Found everything I was looking for, and a new wishlist pet! Who knew musk turtles were so cute.
Friendly staff and easy social distancing in place, with regular hand washing and trolley washing stations

I visited this cafe 4 days ago and awarded 5 stars because of a brilliant coffee and cake. Impressed, I returned today for a full English breakfast, which resulted in this edit and a downgrade to only 4 stars. It seems a great place for coffee and cake but not so great for a full meal. I’ve done separate reviews of each.
COFFEE & CAKE
Nice garden centre with large car park, gifts and seasonal decorations and cafe. The cafe is upstairs, but there is a lift to the right of the customer service desk as you enter.
Cappuccino was 3.00, large vanilla slice was 3.10 delivered to table.
FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST
Looked fantastic on plate, but wasn’t as good as it looked in the eating. The tomato had the look of having been grilled, but was stone cold. The mushrooms looked lovely, but were barely warm. The bacon looked fine, but was cold. The toast was cold. The coffee was lukewarm.
This was really disappointing. Would return for coffee and cake, but certainly wouldn’t spend almost ten pound on a lovely looking but poorly cooked breakfast.
Visit here at least once a week to purchase/browse or get ideas. Set over 2 levels with level entry but lift or stairs to bistro for disabled/wheelchair users. Always a wide range of products and prices are always competitive. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Worth a visit.
Good selection of plants, shrubs and trees for this time of year. All internal and external gardening needs seem to be catered for.
We had a very nice lunch in the restaurant which had a good choice of foods cooked to order. It did get busy around 12.00 - 12.30.
Nice garden centre with alot of choice helpful staff and the bonus of having a lovely bistro upstairs.
