Customer Endorsements

"We have been regular visitors for 24 years and have enjoyed seeing many changes take place …all of them for the better! We visit the Fresh Approach Restaurant most days and find the staff so pleasant and helpful. That is one thing that has always remained the same…the level of service has never varied. We enjoy wandering round the centre, even more so now that the plants are undercover. It is a fantastic place to visit…we could spend whole day here!"

"There is no where else like Bents. Despite all the changes and growth it still has a family feel. We have been coming since it was a small rose growing business, before anything was built and the same level of quality is still here today. It has a special feel all of its own…there is no other garden centre with the same kind of ambiance. Most people who come, always return again and again. "

"I have been coming to Bents for many years – so many I’ve lost count – often visiting 4-5 times a week. I think the restaurant is outstanding, serving a wonderful selection of food and drinks. The conservatory is a great place to eat even when the weather is very poor. The home section offers some great ideas and the Christmas displays are sensational."

"I have been coming to Bents for approximately 16 years. The attraction is connected to its identity – that of a family run business. Not everyone enjoys the overwhelming anonymity of shopping centres…whereas Bents has a courteous and welcoming atmosphere. Whether shopping or just having a coffee there is never a sense that you are being rushed. And the cheese scones are the best!"

"I enjoy a regular early morning visit to Bents for breakfast as I find it to be the perfect antidote to the inevitable stressful day ahead. The pleasant, calming environment always helps me to start the day in a positive frame of mind."

"Bents is certainly a unique place and that is due entirely to the lovely Bents family and staff, who are always so friendly, helpful and very professional. They deserve lots of credit for making it such a delightful place to visit time and time again. I thank them for giving me and my family many hours of pleasure and hope Bents will continue to do so for many more years to come."
