First time here. Was a nice little mooch around. I am very impressed with the fish and also how the plants are labled alphabetically.
Didn't try the restaurant, maybe next time.
Love coming here, been a few times, and will happily revisit again. We always visit the cafe and I booked in advance for fathers Day. Was easy to call and book a table, and when we arrived , we were quickly greeted and shown to our table. Our server was brilliant, regularly checking everything was ok and if we wanted anything else. All the food was delicious and really well made.
The shop itself is great, lots to look at and really reasonable prices and the staff there are also super friendly and happy to help with anything.
A big thankyou to Mark the fish guy. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Full of good advice. The fish tanks all look clean, the fish all look healthy. Not one dead fish in any of the tanks. Well done Mark we will be back again in the future for more fish.
The cafe is great, reasonable prices, great coffee and friendly staff.
I would recommend Bow garden centre to anyone. I live in Ilfracombe and it's a good 45 mins drive but honestly it's well worth it. I like the way the garden centre is laid out.
So thanks again Mark and well done Bow garden center.

Lovely setting for a drink when needed on a motorbike ride. Crafty look around so I know what to buy when we go back with the car. 😜 Lovely selection of all sorts as well as the plants.
Absolutely brilliant!! The lady who dealt with us was so knowledgeable, courteous, and kind, nothing was too much trouble. The stocks of fish, tropical, marine and cold water was very extensive. Their tanks, lighting, and tank plants were second to none. The shop itself was very well stocked with a wide variety of gifts, all, reasonably priced.
And then there was outside, there were far too many plants, flowers and shrubs to mention, the surroundings were very well set out, and everything, again was very reasonably priced.
There was also a cafe there, but I did not get chance to visit, another day me thinks.
All in all, what a place, I couldn't recommend it highly enough, I think I will be spending a lot more money here in the not to distant future.
The purpose of our 1 hour+ drive here was to obtain guidance for building a pond and it was so worth the effort. We spoke to Rachel who was so incredibly knowledgeable, listened to what we wanted and answered all of our questions as well as suggesting ideas we would not have thought of. We purchased a patio set which was a great price then enjoyed a lovely lunch on the terrace overlooking the koi pond. The young staff in the restaurant were so welcoming and helpful as was every member of staff we encountered. The whole experience was great and we so look forward to returning in a few weeks to buy all we need for the pond and no doubt to enjoy some more lovely food.
Been here several times to purchase koi carp. Can't fault there service. Also has a great cafe called Waterside
Having had such a lovely ‘All day breakfast’ last Friday, I decided to take some friends and family to the Waterside Cafe for Easter Sunday lunch. On both occasions, the food was not only cooked to perfection, it was very fresh and plentiful (too generous in fact). Those who know me, say I am quite picky, however, I can honestly say that, I couldn’t find fault with anything and I shall be returning to the Waterside Cafe very soon.
Restaurant is excellent, good delicious and well prices. Staff friendly and helpful, space to dine indoors or out. Great choice of plants and aquatics. Aquariums and exotic fish. Well worth a visit!!
Bow aquatics has moved about over the years and it makes sens for it to be in Bow now. It has a huge selection of aquarium supplies and a good stock/ variety and of fish. Great water features and good prices on garden furniture etc. Best local aquarium sales for the Exeter area.
