Shocked by this ENGLISH GARDEN CENTRE (Germans in Britain)
Okay, they have jewellery. Yeah, in a garden centre. In a garden centre. Now that looks amazing, doesn't it? Ger, German. Look! Yeah. Don't you love that? Okay, that's actually the golf course - yes - isn't it? They do have flowers and plants of course. Yes, not just dinosaurs. There's the pet cafe. The pet place. I love it. My guess on the menu there's probably a full English dog breakfast. Today we're visiting Bents Garden Centre in Warrington here in Cheshire. I mean garden centre sounds very boring. It does but I watched the reaction video on our friend's channel
'The Natasha & Debbie Show'. I was gobsmacked. I said to Jörg we need to come here. Yes she told me to come. I haven't seen the video so I'm - very open-minded. Very open-minded. So let's see how it is. I think it will will be amazing. It's been awarded best garden centre in the UK so we need to find out more. Let's go. It's Sunday morning 15 minutes past 9 and we said it will be very empty
but people are going inside so you said they are hungry. Yes because you told me something about restaurants here. Six restaurants. I can't believe it. So I think the shop itself it's not officially open but it's open for browsing so people will go to have breakfast we think. Yeah. We will have breakfast as well but later. Yeah. We'll check it out. We'll check it out. So exciting because we don't have that in Germany. Not like that. No. I'm really excited. In Germany garden centres are really boring because they're just plants. [Music] Okay, we don't really know where
to start. These are faux flowers I think. Yeah. I don't know I think we we spotted them on one of our very first, uh, holidays in the UK. Yeah yeah. Ducks. They are so cute, aren't they? Very quirky. Here are a few of the Easter things but I think probably just a small selection. I love this. My goodness. You can buy everything. Very pastelly.
Yeah. I think somewhere in our house we have eggs that we've had for 30 years. They look somewhat like this. Not that colourful though. Yeah not that pastelly. I know where they are. In the attic room. In the attic. In one of the cupboards. Yes - because I always - rearrange things. Rearrange from left to right. Look at this. How about that? You know I should should get that. You know why? Why? Because every day when I when - you eat carrots - when I'm at work I'm eating carrots. One carrot a day. Well,
you need to try. No, I won't. Now Mother's Day here in the UK is March 10th which is about 2 months earlier than in the in Germany. It's always very early here. Yeah because in Germany it's this year May the 12th. Yeah, 2 months. So you find lots of things for Moms of course.
Very pink. Here's one of the restaurants. This is the Fresh Approach. I think that's for when you want to have breakfast. Here. Fresh Approach. It is and it seems huge. Yeah. Mother's Day things. Here you have some furniture. Garden furniture. I don't know where to start. Do you just want to go around and see - yeah - what they have? But it's very lovely centre. It's very clean. I like it. What do you think?
Yeah. See, here's the next, Caffé Nel Verde. That's still closed. Yeah. Or is is though? There the people over there. There's also a pet restaurant so you can come bring your dog and enjoy a meal. Yeah so you've got, and now my guess on the menu there's probably a full English dog breakfast. I wouldn't be surprised. So in front of us is the food hall. Do you want to go there? Not now. Later on. Okay. Otherwise I get, I'm getting too hungry. Okay. Yeah because we haven't had
breakfast yet. Lots of garden tools. And that's so popular worldwide. Weber barbecue grills. All the accessories. Weber accessories. My sisters both of them have a Weber, Weber barbecue grill. We don't. We don't. Well, these ones would be too big for our
patio anyway. See that would be something more appropriate for our space. Something like that. Not like a Weber barbecue. That would still work but we have something anyway. Yeah. Okay, here is a huge section with clothes. Look. Rieker. Isn't Rieker German as well? That's a German brand too. See so shoes. Lots of clothes
actually. I don't know if you know the brand Seasalt Cornwall. They do have a lot of nice things. Yeah. That's actually gorgeous.
Okay, what what do they have over there? Jewellery? Okay, they have jewellery. Yeah, in a garden centre. In a garden centre. I mean okay when you're working in the garden you should look nice. Well. Yeah when the sun is shining so you need sunglasses yeah. You do. Yeah. And nice jewellery so you look nice. Which I never wear. I don't wear jewellery. No no. See here. They do have a um they do have a selection of um Barbour items. [Music]
Sweets. Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. I have to get you an Easter egg this year. Well, I have to get you one as well. Gold bunny. This one. I deserve a big one. Of course. These are so I don't know. So how many grams? This is 14.99 and is, I'm not wearing my glasses. Tt's 360g. Yeah. So that's three chocolate bars. These are always very good. Yeah. I feel that Lindt since having moved to the UK becomes more and more popular. Yeah it
does. Okay, here you you have everything for for the barbecue. Yeah. Sausages. What I don't like is I'm not I I'm not mad about marshmallows so yeah. American style. Oh the American style probably are good. The big ones. They are just too sweet. If you roast them they probably just - ah more Easter things here. love Kinder chocolate. Yeah.
How about that Easter bunny? That's cute. A Bailey's Easter egg. I haven't seen them last year. No. They seem to be new. A Guinness Easter egg. A Guinness Easter egg. My goodness. It's a ruby ball. Yeah. Look. Dark chocolate ruby ball. That's 14.99 as well. I bet that's good as well. The Ferrero Rocher golden Easter egg. Well, that's a classic. The very big
bunny. See, I don't really like the taste of alcohol but I do love Bailey's. Let me give you an idea. Maybe that or that one. You could get that for me. I don't know if you like salted caramel. I do. I do. Cookies or biscuits. Very sweet. They look sweet. Yes. Very very sweet. So here's the food hall. We changed our minds. We want to check out
the food hall. That's a cute packaging. Yeah. And from afar - a Westie - from afar I thought that's like for dogs. A treat for dogs but it's not. No because that can't be for - oh yeah, that's true. I really like the packaging. That's beautiful. Okay, have a look
here. Now that looks amazing, doesn't it? Glazed strawberry cheesecake. And this here lemon meringue. The strawberry tart, that's something that would be very popular in Germany because we love our fruit cakes. [Music]
The food hall is incredible. What do you think Jörg? Yeah, yeah. Lots of food. Yeah, yeah. No more words. So that's the butchers. It's incredible. I'm speechless, honestly. Okay. German German German. Look. Yeah. Don't you love that? The Tegernseer Hell? That's a good one. Yes. I mean they're all good look. Look, they even got Kölsch. Oh my goodness Jörg. And they got so they've got three different kinds of Kölsch - yes - which is unusual. Yes. Look here. Lagerbier. Spaten Münchner Hell. Löwenbräu.
Ohh. Oh my goodness. Okay, that's Belgian beer. But now you you know where to come if you really fancy a lovely beer. What, well, one thing they don't have. The your favourite, the, Rothaus? No, they don't have it but Jörg really loves the - yeah - Münchner. So Jörg is going to get some beer. German beer. One bottle of Tegernseer Hell. Yeah. Okay. Some Kölsch.

well? Yes. Okay. And then - Schlösser Alt. Yeah. That's what you - also a regional beer from Düsseldorf. where we lived. Yes, where we lived. And I'm going to get two of them. Okay.

that she had like a range here. No, never heard about it. So we're obviously in the cook shop now. I love the mugs. It's actually quite nice. Very very timeless. Yeah. See. No idea that she had a range. I think these are quite cute with the dogs. That's cute. We should get one for your dad.
Yes because he has Lotta now He's into dogs now. Well, he's always been into dogs. All of us. I can't believe that we didn't know about this garden centre in inverted commas because - it's not a garden garden. It's just huge. It's so much more. Garden, home and - you can spend all day here. Yeah. I think my sister would love that place. Oh that's fun. Yeah, that's quite fun as well. [Music] Okay, we're not going to browse in here although I think they might have some amazing toys. You can see this is a paradise for children. Yeah Mama. So this is a map of
Bents - because it's so huge - yes - that you need a map. You definitely need one. We're probably going to the Fresh Approach for breakfast and we haven't even been outside. No. So after breakfast that's what we're going to tackle. The outside area. This place is insane. It's very big. This is the breakfast menu and we just have a look. I think I'm going for the omelette breakfast. Yeah. You too? Yeah. So we just got our, well, it's a very huge breakfast. Breakfast yes, it's like breakfast and breakfast

Okay, that's actually the golf course, isn't it? Yes, Yeah in Germany in Germany we call it Minigolf. Minigolf.
It's so fun. So that dinosaur here on the right is moving. It's not moving now. Stop looking at me. No, I think it moves when you - when you play. When you play. I see. Climbing roses. Are they David Austen roses or? No no. No. But do you know what I need? what we need? Rose feed. Yeah. Yeah. Probably inside. Yes something we should check. We have a wonderful yellow orangey climbing rose from David Austen. It looks absolutely divine.
I can't wait for it to to be in full bloom again. These look nice too. Yeah. You can hear the dinosaurs. Sheds. And lots of roses. Yes. So I mean just look here. The greenhouse. Yeah, how big it is. The sheer scale of this place is absolutely incredible. [Music] You can hear the dog. I think I know why. There's the Pet Café. The Pet Place and the Pet Café.

Easter egg so no. It's so cute in there. Yeah. Yeah, all the little dogs. And the big ones. And the big ones. It's such a difference compared to Germany. We always find that the UK is so dog friendly. Yes, they're pet friendly. Not just dogs. They are. I think you can bring dogs to some
places in Germany but it's not the same like here. No. And in that place I found it, I've never seen anything anything like it. People were shopping and just could bring their dogs. So cute. Yeah, you can spend the whole day here. Yeah. Send your little ones to the Jurassic Coast yeah - Jurassic Coast - to to Jurassic Cove yeah, your husband to have a tea and then you can shop plants. No, the husband can go buy beer and wine. Yeah or to the fish and chips. Now let's
check out the greenhouse. So feed your husband, entertain your children and then buy plants. They look as if painted. You know. How pretty is this? It looks like a piece [Music] of art. Yeah. Does it have a scent to it? Can you. No. It looks like I don't know. [Music] Here's a wrap station. That's so great. And everything, yeah,
that you need for wrapping of course. And so so many cards. Birthday cards, friendship cards. This place just doesn't end, does it? I love this. See. Christening Day Cards.
I just love it. Okay, we spent about 5 hours here. Yeah and I believe you can spend far more time. Yes yes. So we filmed just I don't know just a little bit because it would be far too much. The
the scale of this place is incredible. We are floored. It's shockingly big. We we yes we are completely floored. And we also can't believe that we didn't know about it. No. We we have to thank Natasha and Debbie because they made this reaction video and we said okay, we will go here or we will come here. Yeah. If you are in the area - and I think it's worth a visit.
Absolutely. So if you are in the area make sure to visit. It's incredible. And thank you so much for watching. As always we'll see you again very soon soon until next time. Bye. Bye. Bye bye. Bye. Bye.
