Excellent service from Joan and Hannah. Asked if they could deliver a helium balloon to go with a bouquet of flowers for our daughter's 21st Birthday and they were happy to help. Beautiful flowers. Even able to deliver during lockdown.

Really brilliant. Just wanted a modest get well soon bouquet for a relative, rather than go into big tesco, thought to check out local independent florists. Luckily this one is about a one minute walk from nearby tesco extra... but superior in value, quality and having an arrangement put together there and then from the great selection of really fresh individual flowers and foliage.
friendly helpful staff checked what kind of colours etc i was after, and put together a really nice bouquet promptly, perfectly presented, trimmed, wrapped and at a very fair price reflecting value and quality.
