After a shortish drive we entered this emporium of Christmas and garden delight. The displays were wonderful, car parking plentiful, staff really helpful and prices reasonable.
As an added bonus thete is a canal cruise on-site that offers a fish and chip supper!
Barton Grange Restaurant. Afternoon tea as a group of 9 (Inc 2 children). Service was good, friendly staff , lovely venue. The restaurant accommodates various dietary requirements with nothing being too much trouble for the chefs. Food is freshly prepared and perfectly consistent. For anyone not wanting Afternoon Tea, a menu with alternatives is available.
The restaurant is accessed via the main garden centre, which is well worth a visit and caters for those with disabled needs, including wheelchairs.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Always a lovely visit. Great products, well set out. Wonderful Christmas shop, delicious lunch at reasonable price. Farm shop well stocked as ever. Couldn't find what I liked from the butcher's( peppered pork steaks) but after questioning he made some up for me. Excellent service!!
Always worth a trip to baton Grange. Especially when Christmas is approaching. Displays are out!
Love to visit here for lunch when we come over to visit our elderly. Food absolutely beautiful-my favourites- salmon and crayfish salad -and also tuna panini. Staff lovely, and nothing too much trouble!! Place spotless at all times too, which I find exceptional!! Love to look around, even though merchandise isn't the cheapest!! Lots of stuff you don't see elsewhere though!! Love it !!! 😘
Went to see the hand reared owls, hawks, and falcons, couldn't believe how popular it was and how many people turned out to see them. So glad we managed to get to hold them and also get some photos. Definitely a great experience for the little one whose never done this before.
Cake was just an added bonus, £4.20 a slice,....more like a wedge!
Absolutely loved my visit to Barton Grange, where there's a great selection of indoor and outdoor plants to suit all budgets. Staff I engaged with were knowledgeable and welcoming.
Relaxed in the café with a well deserved coffee and slice of cake.
Visited 21/08/22 Still one of my favourite garden centres. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, I've never had a bad experience shopping here. Once finished shopping relaxed with my usual coffee and cake.
Next visit will be in a couple of months, when no doubt their Christmas displays will be up.

A great place for an afternoon out with all the family, to see their extensive Xmas lights and various Christmas exhibitions, which both young and old seemed to enjoy. Note, they are not timed, you'll need to look for a button to start the displays. This is also one of the best places in Lancashire to pick up some good quality presents, kitchen ware, vegetables, wine and don't miss their cafe with an extensive range of desserts and cakes with seating looking over a small stream. Free parking, free entry, plenty for kids to see and very good coffee at a low price

What is always a great and friendly experience was recently brought down by the miserable nature of one of the Honeywell butcher staff.
I'll attempt to portray how horrible an experience it was but for the first time in our lives at shopping at Barton Grange, we were genuinely tempted just to leave our trolley and walk out. Yes, it was that bad.
Each and every time we go here, it is such a pleasant experience and you are always guaranteed a laugh and a joke with the staff without fail. From the cheery counter staff to the Evil Cake Lady in the corner with her delightful boxes of temptation, it's a always a pleasure but this time it was just something else.
This young tattooed girl (no I don't have an issue with tattoos, each to their own) reluctantly came over to serve us and when we stock up at the meat counter, we are there some time so it's nice to interact. There was no way on earth this was happening this time. From various steaks to pieces of meat, this young girl just kept throwing them around without even making so much as the slightest hint of eye contact and also managed to do it without saying a word to us. You could tell she was in a mood as one of her female colleagues kept looking over and smiling at us as if to say "is everything alright, we know what she's like today".
The only time we heard her speak was when she asked her colleague to cut a piece of silverside for us and she threw it onto the table near him.
Don't get me wrong, we all have our off days but don't put anyone who isn't feeling themselves on the counter.
I've only knocked off one star as Honeywell's should not bring down the whole experience based on one staff member.
As we were leaving, for the first time ever I decided to get an ice cream at the exit and we had such a laugh with the woman serving that we finally stopped shaking our heads at the treatment at the meat counter.
We had possibly the best cooked breakfast here, I don't 'do' cooked breakfasts but this one was appetising and freshly cooked, plus a very reasonable price. The garden centre itself was also lovely & clean , an excellent place to while away some time.
