An enormous variety of goods ranging from souvenirs and neat gifts in the Gift Shop, all sorts of outdoor clothing - not just for in the garden but raincoats, casual gear for men and women and all the seasons, plants, turf, trees, fish, parrots, rabbits and more - and all your needs for your pets. Then organize day trips to a wide variety of places - and not to forget the REALLY good restaurant that does breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas (High Tea) and bargain dinners. Indeed today Mrs G and I had 2 two course dinners for 12 pounds ($16-17 for TWO!!). I had beef bourguignon, while Mrs G had a Quiche Lorraine with chips and peas/salad, and then I had apple pie with custard while she had lemon meringue pie. Served promptly in the clean and bright restaurant - we sat "outside" so that Ricky Martin could sit with us and share in a little with my beef :). Will we be back? Hell yeah!!! Review #44 2018

This is the first time I have been to the Grange Farm Christmas Barn (open from 1st December 2012),…read moreoperated by the owners of The Langton Brewery based at Thorpe Langton, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Being a bit fussy with a desire for a large tree with a root, to allow us to plant out after Christmas, I couldn't immediately find exactly what tree I wanted so Jim (the owner) suggested that I come back a bit later when it was quieter and he would cut me a selection of trees fresh from the field. Later that afternoon we were fortunate to be able to go into the field with Jim and his 'elves' to choose our very own Christmas tree my only advice would be to consider the height of the root plus the tree itself as we slightly overestimated the height of our lounge ceiling! Whilst there my five year old son took advantage of seeing Santa in his Grotto which he loved, and my wife brought some lovely Christmas tree decorations from their Festive Barn; we then had a quick visit to stroke Dorcas the donkey and the baby calves before leaving. The whole 'choosing our own Christmas tree' experience left me amazed as to how nice and helpful the staff of the farm were; as well as Jim and his family there were local villagers helping out at weekends, giving it a really personal and local feel. I'd definitely recommend the Grange Farm Christmas Barn to anyone and make sure to take the kids with you toothey'll love it!

Your bog standard Sirdar DK wool was 2 GBP for 100 grams, so 4 GBP for 300 grams. In the little time that I've been knitting, that's pretty good value. My partner got a Airfix project here as well, the HMS Illustrious... starting small ;) As an added bonus I got my mother a dinky concrete birdbath for 25 GBP The place is massive. And to be honest a bit of a maze. Not good when you are trying to find the tills and exit when you are lugging a concrete birdbath without a trolley. A-OK

Good Afternoon I…read morejust felt, having had a thoroughly fruitless and frustrating trip to Webbs this afternoon that I should share my thoughts on the quality of service on display in your store today. We are regular visitors and enjoy our trips generally but having travelled over from Kidderminster having been told your pet department had some Lion Lop rabbits coming available today thought we would investigate. This proved a lot more frustrating than we anticipated, your staff member was handily placed in the middle of the mammals display, crouched admittedly and obviously tending to the animals, "she will acknowledge us in a moment" we thought..er no... a couple more "buying signals" later and still no response I cleared my throat... still nothing... "Excuse Me, can you tell me about the lops please, are they ready to go?" "Yes, but they are all reserved", still crouching! "Oh, it says that they aren't available until today? Will you be getting any more in?", "not like those, they don't breed them this time of year..." ah the famous sexual abstinence of the rabbit!! Very unhelpful, surly and frankly not a great ambassador for your company, lip biting was required to not cause a scene, my wife was equally appalled, not sure about my 18 month old as he was by now distracted by a tortoise but i sensed even then that he was unimpressed! So, that's your wonderful pet department. We then passed a gaggle of shopfloor staff taking the piss out of some new "artichoke" shaped "t lights", another fine example! Then the till lady who served us (Lisa) did so with all the charm and effervescence of a dead badger in the gutter, didn't say hello, goodbye, ask if we wanted a bag or smile (despite my own witticisms and our 18mth old who is at the "hello hello hello" stage of life doing his very best to get her attention). Bottom line, your staff seemed today to be en-masse not loving life and certainly not their jobs or their customers... unless the old wives tale about simultaneous menstruation in close proximity is correct I suggest you need to brighten everyone up a bit. There, I am now back in Kidderminster, started typing by McDonalds so at least i have filled a journey up... Bottom line, not a great experience today, still spent £87.44 though!

For me you can't call yourself a true Brummie until you have experience this place. An almost palace of cheap and cheerful shopping they stock pretty much everything from home ware, clothes, furniture, garden products, electrical, lights, toys and even sweets and food. Spread over 3 floors once inside you might struggle to escape. I visit quite often as they have a lot of cheap things I use around festival season and Christmas. It is well worth a visit and really you haven't lived until you've spent an hour here.

The place has EVERYTHING and it's all cheap as chips. There's so much that you can end up getting a little lost, without even knowing where to start. Some might prefer to go a little more upmarket, but I have no problem at all when you can kit out your whole flat and get change from a fiver (I exaggerate but you get my point). Even though it's cheap it's not all throwaway stuff, I bought some glasses there when I moved to my new apartment and the quality is pretty decent. As well as all the practical things you will need you can also find some very surreal and kitch decorative things. There are three floors dedicated to kitchenware, furniture, bedding, lighting and electrical goods, gardening equipment, tools, food and drink, cleaning products... see, everything! I recommend going by car or with a willingness to carry bags. And expect to leave there with a bunch of useless things you never intended to buy on your shopping trip (I still have the lenticular portrait of a tiger on my wall to this day).

They also have a pretty good stock of tropical fish and all the bits and pieces that you need to successfully run a tank. My mum also informs me that the outdoor pond bit is very good too.
