I have been a great fan of Henry Street Garden Centre for a long time
My only gripe is that they should not allow dogs into the restaurant where people go to eat! I do not dislike dogs however, but I believe this presents a hygiene problem? Some people let them move about freely and some constantly bark, which is not nice when you are trying to enjoy food!

Restaurant very good, although busy, the service and the food was better than expected. We had the Steak and Stilton pie - superb! The plants we bought were of good quality.
