We visited for the first time a Garden Centre offering a Carvery, which we do enjoy. I warned DH the food wouldn’t be as warm as he likes it and we couldn’t expect the same standard as a restaurant, well I was totally wrong. It was delicious and hot.

There were about 10 Choices of veg plus crispy Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes all for £10.99 which is cheap for this part of the world.

We had roast beef and I told the chef 2 slices of meat were more than enough for me. DH had the standard 3 slices, in fact we couldn’t eat all the meat so we have brought it home for cold tomorrow night.

Do you think it was because many of us had a Sunday roast in our youth that it is so popular with pensioners ?

Canadian Gran you haven't seen our garden centres, they are enormous and sell conservatories, furniture, outdoor wear, food and usually have the most gorgeous cafes, or even restaurants. You can fine dine at a garden centre.

All true, M0nica. However, you omitted to mention that they even have plants.

No! do they? Our local Frosts hide all those away. They make more profit on the non-plant side than the plants, so apart from indoor pot plants and cut flowers, plants are the last thing you see.
