Notcutts Ashton Park

Great choice of gluten free food, well marked up too. The staff in the cafe are always friendly, they do a great job

It's not just a garden centre! Everything that you could want for the garden and so much more. Christmas has arrived at Notcutts and it is a wonderland of every colour of bauble imaginable, it really gets you in the festive mood walking down well laid out aisles to suit every taste of Christmas design. The pet section again has a wide range of products. You can even buy small pets or just ooooo and ahhhh at the baby fluffy bunnies on sale. Edinburgh wool Mill and Regatta shops are there too. An aquarium section has a comprehensive range of all requirements and the kids will love looking at the large tank of tame coi carp or they can take home a goldfish to care for. The cafe at Notcutts is amazing. The choice of food is the best of any garden centre that I've ever seen. I have coeliac disease and have to stick to a gluten free diet, the cafe has a very tasty selection of foods for coeliacs. The cod and chips with mushy peas is made and prepared by the chef and is amazing! When I visited today though I had gluten free cream tea, I've never found anywhere else that has this and it was a first for me. The scones are made, again, at the cafe and they are delicious and amazing. The seating area inside is spacious and bright with a little kiddies play area. Lovely outside eating area too. So yes Notcutts is somewhere you can spend an enjoyable couple of hours or so even if you don't want anything for the garden but I bet you'll go home with a plant or two.
