I ordered a set of 3000 cluster lights in the sale. I havent used them yet, but they arrived quickly and were well packaged. Price was good too at about 25 cheaper than that offered by other retailers. Would definitely recommend.

I placed an order for a few Christmas decorations late on Monday, first thing Tuesday morning I received a lovely call from I believe Andrea informing me 1 item was out of stock, she offered me a similar alternative or a refund. She then completed my order, for which I had paid for stand delivery (3-5 days), and received it today (Wednesday). Everything was carefully packed and exactly as described on the website. This is some of the best, most efficient service I have ever received, thank you.

Visited Christmas week, possibly the biggest selection of seasonal bits, most certainly the best presented that I've seen, well done to the staff.
Sadly, I dropped 1star due to the cafe being so desperate to get customers in that there was absolutely NO social distancing whatsoever. People even had to stop eating to stand up to let other people past. I would recommend & visit again but while the COVID situation is getting worse, I would rather eat elsewhere.
(Ended up picking up food from McDonald's on the way home instead)
