We went for Brunch at the Bothy. Wonderful service. Staff are really friendly, welcoming and polite. Food was absolutely great. I am vegan, except for a egg accidentally added to my Vegan Breakfast, it was great! My family really enjoyed their food also! Would definitely visit again and recommend.
Recently moved to the area and today discovered this place. It is brilliant. We started off in the restaurant which was busy but the staff were amazing at getting tables cleared and cleaned quickly. Our food was delicious and I have never seen a better selection of cakes in any garden centre before and we plan to sample them on our next trip very soon. The plant selection is also great. We cant wait to return
Just bought our very first Christmas tree from here and it was a great experience. Matt was super helpful from the get-go, sawing away at our tree until it was perfect and walking it to our car for us. He was great! :) we also bought some beautiful baubles to start us off. They were discounted to £1 each so very reasonable. We’re thrilled! Definitely will be coming back here for our tree next year. Thanks Matt for your help!
An outstanding garden centre, I’ve been going for years now and am sad to hear it is changing hands, but wish the retiring owners well. The variety and quality of plants is excellent. The Bothy restaurant is amazing with a great choice of homemade dishes - please don’t change a thing!
Personally I would always try to write something positive about what ever business I am reviewing ,if I can't find anything positive about a particular firm I probably wouldn't write anything.
Whilst I've been on holiday in the north of England this week I've visited several garden Centres and what has impressed me the most is how you adapted your tearooms/restaurants to keep people safe and keep your businesses ticking over during Covid,I have to say your Restaurant was fantastic, your staff too were remarkable as they carried out their cleaning duties.
York is a place we often visit so I'm sure to call in again.All the best from a very happy customer.
REVISITED FEB.2022
Restaurant, brilliant as always,plant selection also wonderful.. 👍
Returned October 2023
Love to come back and visit this particular garden centre, mainly for the variety of indoor plants that you carry, it's certainly the best selection I've ever seen,I know some the plants are quite expensive but they are fantastic quality and for reason you have to pay a premium, always a pleasure to come back what you are doing even if it is a 200 mile trip.👌
Got all my plants for my new raised border from Deans and I am just delighted with quality and health of the plants. Such a great variety too, very impressed.
The friendly staff and great advice I always receive makes this an outstanding place to visit.
I had all my plants and compost delivered and the delivery guys were really happy to take it all to the bottom of my garden, which was much appreciated.
The cafe is so nice too, love it here, thank you to all the wonderful staff. 👍who always go above and beyond.
I have just heard on the grape vine, that Deans Garden Centre has been sold to another Company,
Very sad news as Deans must have been going for many years, possibly 80 to 90 years. All the staff are great, very knowledgeable and friendly.
I hope the new owners keep it much the same, me and my wife use it at least twice a week and most Tuesday nights to get "triple points", which I redeem to buy plants and flowers and fertilizer.
One of the best garden centres I’ve been to outside of London! The rare house plant collection is insane.
Some rare plants are a little more pricy than the ones I’ve seen, but possibly due to being from a different supplier. Most are still very fair especially considering the how mature a lot of the plants are. I mean just look at that philodendron verrucosum and gloriosum!!! And that peace lily is just so beautifully variegated.
I bought a beautiful philodendron florida ghost for, if I remember correctly, around £149. Beautiful minty colour. No damage, soil condition is great too.
If anyone is ever visiting York definitely go check it out. Drive if you can as the bus there can be a little confusing.
The staff are all incredibly lovely!
We decided to go here to try out The Bothy café - as it had been described as kid friendly with a play area. However, the play area wasn't there. The café itself though is nice, and the garden centre has a large variety of plants and gifts.
Visited York and called in at Deans for lunch. Lunch excellent and all staff pleasant to speak to. Had a good afternoon. Nice garden centre to walk round
