Very nice relaxing place bit pricy on some things though but suppose it is what it is with these places being overpriced. is expected by some people with more money than sense or willingness to shop around

Came here with a Friend for lunch, food was delicious and cooked well, staff were good and looked after the customers. However items in the Garden centre were expensive and over priced, brought a few Photo Frames, which actually were wrong and the lady told me when I went and got Photos done by Max spielmann. Went and got a refund. Won't be buying here again.

I phoned Squires in Shepperton half an hour ago to ask for advice about a sick plant I got from them and was fortunate enough to speak to a lady called Sheila who gave me her patience time and the advice and reassurance I needed. Squires are consistently good but Sheila just kicked it up a notch. Thank you! Highly recommended

Lovely place with so many wonderful things. Lots of inspiring ideas for home and garden. Can get very busy, especially the coffee shop. Expect queues to be seated and at check out.

My local garden centre, never had a bad experience here. Staff are always lovely. Cafe area always spotless/clean the two managers are amazing and lovely and friendly. Need to go back soon and try their new menu, already had a sneak peak of it before it came out.
