Victoria Garden Centre

at one time i would have given this another star, this is based on the café, a group of ladies ¾ of us would visit the victoria garden centre for a look around, buy a few bits and pieces, as there is an assortment of things to admire, plants, clothng, ornamental etc, then we would always have a breakfast. the main object of going here was really to have breakfast. It always used to have a nice quality ingredients, i have not visited this year at all, As the last visit it was an ok breakfast, but not worth the 20 mins drive. I did comment on leaving, on the inferior sausage, it used to be mr coppleys (local farm), the assistant, did not know if mr coppleys sausage was to be discontinued on a full time basis or not. However we are not going to take the 20 mins travel for an ok breakfast, it was disappointing. Expecting Silk and got nylon

Visited Victoria Garden centre today, had a lovely look round. Had lunch in the café, what a let down. Tried to tell the waitress, as we were leaving I was disappointed in my lasgage she wasn’t bothered and walked off without even taking our finished plates.
In this really difficult financial climate, it’s a treat to have lunch out, it wasn’t cheap and it was tastless goo

I would say you almost certainly need a car to get to Victoria Garden Centre as it is in the middle of a field — though if you want to brave public transport a bus goes by once an hour Monday to Saturday. It does have a big free car park and free to use trolleys with plenty of choice once inside from electrical garden goods, furniture, pets and fish (both indoor and outdoor), pond accessories, garden accessories like weed killer, seeds and of course plants. There is a biggish café and a gift and homeware area as well as a dried flower area too. Plenty to see, prices are good and its well worth a visit if you are into your crafts or gardening.

Biggest local garden centre, with plenty of parking. Nice enough café, though not fantastic food. I wouldn’t go for a decent meal here. Gift section, plants, fish, pets, seeds, etc. Nice Christmas section, Santa there some of the time. Plants are expensive.

This is a large garden centre on a main road between wakefield and pontefract. It sells plants, fish, lots of pet supplies, nice toiletry and food gifts, some toys, and has a large café.
The best time to visit is at Christmas, as their christmas displays are great, with polar bear scenes, a lovely area with lit-​up houses, etc. It’s great for young and old to see. When I went recently, they also had a couple of small tables with simple toys on for the children to play with, which I thought was an excellent touch.
The café is nice enough for a garden centre, although it gets busy and the queues can get very long.
