Chessington Garden Centre: outdoor living and food retail in Surrey

Chessington Garden Centre presents itself as a destination in Surrey where gardening, garden construction and outdoor living sit alongside a farm shop and the Sedum Restaurant. The centre describes its offer as everything needed to shop, browse and enjoy a visit under one roof, and traces its community roots to 1967.

Garden furniture, pergolas and outdoor cooking

The garden furniture range covers dining sets, lounge seating, sunloungers and daybeds, outdoor storage boxes, cantilever parasols with their bases and covers, and furniture care and treatment products. Pergolas are offered in free-standing and wall-mounted versions, with LED, aluminium, steel and wood-effect finishes, plus accessories, screens and blinds.

For outdoor cooking, the centre stocks Gozney and other barbecues, including gas, charcoal and pellet models and smokers, along with pizza ovens, logs and fuels, covers and accessories. The seasonal catalogue also includes Christmas products such as artificial trees, lighting and accessories, and Halloween lighting and decorations.

Plants, landscaping and garden construction materials

The landscaping side of the business supplies bulk bags, paving and decorative stone. Paving options include porcelain, concrete, natural stone and limestone slabs, with setts, edging, stone circles and a paving slab calculator. Decorative stone covers chippings and gravel, pebbles and cobbles, slate, rockery and boulders, and sleepers. The centre also lists fencing and trellis, screening and willow, border edging, building aggregates, artificial grass and water features.

For general gardening, the range includes compost, soil and bark, pruning and cutting tools, forks and hoes, spades and shovels, hand tools, weeding and cultivating equipment, gloves, watering and irrigation, wooden garden furniture such as arches and arbours, outdoor and solar lighting, lawn care, and bird and wildlife care. Plants are sold in-store.

Farm shop and butchery

The farm shop and butchery focus on locally sourced produce. The butchery is guided by in-house butcher Kevin of C.D. Jennings and Sons. The range includes in-house dry-aged Scottish beef, sausages and free-range pork from farms in Staffordshire and Essex, and chicken and selected cuts from farms in Staffordshire and Suffolk. Premium turkeys are reared in Ascot.

Sedum Restaurant

The Sedum Restaurant is described as a space to relax and refuel with freshly prepared food, including locally sourced produce where possible. The menu spans breakfasts, light lunches, cakes and coffee, served in a bright setting with friendly service.

Advice, events and other in-store services

The centre states that its team offers practical gardening advice for all experience levels. It also runs events and experiences through the year, including The Magic of Christmas, a Halloween Circus and VR Ride, and Chester's Play Town. Other in-store services listed are a Club Chessington app, a newsletter, Pets & Aquatics and F Giles Garden Machinery. The centre also publishes blog content, such as an August 2026 article on allotment care during drought and preparation for autumn.
