Botanicals in Manchester

“First time today, the food was amazing!!! Loved the option for a two/three course meal at around £23. The Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned!! And tasted so good and the portion size was perfect. The cookie desert was so tasty! Again the flavours were amazing. Defo coming back again.”

“Such a hidden gem of the Uni of Manchester. The guy who manages the Firs (Oliver) is amazing and he clearly loves what he does. Good place to volunteer at.”

“We’ve been to Georgia’s wreath making workshops at Christmas for a few years now and always loved them, so when I was in need of a bouquet to cheer my partner up she was my first port of call. She created a beautiful bouquet, bang on brief and excellent value for money. Delivered same day, and well over a week later they still look incredible. Thanks again LGFC!”

“Nipped in on NYE to ask ask if I could get a modern bouquet made up. I hadn’t used this florist before. Delighted with the flowers. Thank you”

“This cafe should shout about itself more. Second visit and just as good as the first time. Everything we had was fresh and tasted home cooked. Generous portions and great value. We were spoilt for choice on the menu so tried the five salad option and a slice of the greek spanakopita. Both excellent and couldn’t fault seasoning and flavours. Dessert was great too.”

“Friendly and welcoming place with good quality food and drinks for a good price. Would definitely recommend.”

“Excellent illuminated displays throughout the gardens, with well layed path ways. Colour & spectacular imagery in all directions. Definitely well worth a visit”

“I've been in the process of getting my first reptile for a while now - slowly saving and getting everything I need for a good, solid bioactive setup before I get myself a crestie. This place has been a lifeline, and everyone who works here is a legend! I went up to the counter and said "I think I'm in dire need of help" and lo and behold, they got me everything I needed and then some. All the staff are really nice, they know their stuff, and they have anything you could possibly need. The animals all seem super happy and well looked after. I'll be shopping here for a long time to come!”

“Lovely place for a walk on a Sunday.”

“Really good park, well kept with a great play area for little ones. Nice to have a tennis court and kick pitch too.”

“Great experience! Ordered online a bouquet for my friend's mother and the flowers looked exceptional! Thank you very much to the entire team. Strongly recommend”

“Wonderful experience today friendly staff, good selection of beer and food. We was served by Ian Lei, such a pleasant and helpful person customer service was 10/10, great start to our holiday.”

“Visited again last week. I absolutely love this place. Hidden gem. Great place to bring teenagers who prefer quiet, young adults who may be anxious and not enjoy the crowds. Can walk around as many times as like and discover all animals. Gorgeous pigs, donkeys, goats and chickens enjoying themselves. There are ping pong tables for a quick out side game, children's play equipment. A river to walk along. A cafe to sit have a snack and drink. Squirrels running up and down the trees. Some animals look like they are rescue animals and are obviously being taken care of by the farm.”

“Really nice park. Great for a picnic. So quiet and tranquil. Loads of wildlife, butterlifes, dragon flies and newts. Lovely stroll on a beautiful day.”

“Lovely bouquet for my wife for our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank-you x”

“A quiet little place to chill and relax. Just over the canal from Canal Street. It's the home of the Tree of Life and the Beacon of Hope memorials dedicated to those who have lost to their lives to AIDS. It's also the home of the Alan Turing memorial. This is a lovely place to visit during the day but, as I've been told, it can be a little bit different at night as there is very little lighting.”

“Nice park. Lots of things for everyone. Great for dogs, lots of sniff spots and places to run. Park entrance needs a bit of tidying up though if anything.”

“Tried the pie menu, first time I’ve had food in here since the refurbishment and omg am I glad I came! As always the staff and atmosphere were lovely, the food for under £15 was top tier. Really enjoyed the pie I had and the food! Would recommend, so glad this local is on my doorstep will be eating from the new menu again ❤️”

“I pop in when I'm in the area to watch the MotoGP. They always pop it in the TV for me which is great and the staff and regulars are always friendly. A great pint and a great pub.”

“Lived in Green Rooms a couple of times now over the last few years. Had nothing but amazing experience. Avril And Tom are real professionals. They run a great service nothing is ever a problem. They are kind and caring. Luis is the best as well always making the Green Rooms look immaculate and very hard working and super friendly.”

“High Leigh garden centre and the Topiary coffee shop are well worth your time lovely garden centre and great cafe with excellent food and staff always friendly, visit in summer with your kids and try the trains.”

“I'd forgotten my neice's wedding anniversary so rang Bespoke Flowers and in no time she'd received a beautiful bouquet!”

“Genuine honest and caring people. I live in castleford west Yorkshire and ordered flowers from them by mistake as there's a barkers local to me. They showed care by getting in touch to see if there was a problem with collecting and i explained my error so they gave me a refund which I wasn't really entitled to. The next time I'm ever in the area I'm going to buy some flowers from them and thank them so much for the understanding they showed.”

“Thank you so much to Amir who works in this Boots who completely saved our holiday recently! I was in floods of tears as I accidentally smashed my son’s bottle of allergy medicine in the security queue and our flight was leaving soon. But Amir was so kind and helpful, he went over and above (running between terminals for us!) to get us another bottle of medicine which was basically the same. I was so unbelievably grateful. Thank you so so so much!”

“Popped in here recently to get some flowers at the last minute for a gift. The owners were very accommodating and made up a really lovely bouquet box for me in less than 15 minutes. Very good value and beautifully presented. Highly recommended.”

“Fantastic experience, staff are lovely and my flowers were fabulous.”

“A range of beautiful bouquets, plants and bulbs available from this local gem. I am consistently impressed by the quality of the arrangements as well as the value for money. The social media accounts are well managed and messages are responded too quickly and nothing ever seems to be too much for Alison. The secret garden is my go-to florist for birthday presents, thank you gifts and treats for me. Covid protocols are closely followed and the business has adapted to continue to provide the unique service which I know it's customers truly appreciate. I always recommend the secret garden to all my family and friends.”
