"your website mentions everything from gifts, garden furniture and restaurant. Do you sell plants?"

Left by j johnston on 2010-09-03

"This is a really modern garden centre, with a fantastic selection of garden furniture and interestingly house furniture. We have bought many items and have not been dissappointed"

Left by Paul Jarvis on 2010-08-25

"This is a rather late, but nevertheless heartfelt, thank you. I came down to the area for a holiday the week before Easter and, as I drove towards the seaside, remembered I had visited the nursery before and spent time looking at your coastal bits and bobs. I decided to stop off for lunch. You were really busy and at first I thought it wouldn’t be possible, but the lady had a friendly and positive attitude and soon found me a magic spot on the sofa by the open fire. I had the most fabulous Welsh rarebit whilst surrounded by many others enjoying delicious your fare. A little piece of heaven - thank you! "

Left by Amanda Beach on 2010-05-13

"Congratulations on the restaurant award,it is well deserved.So sorry to see your lovely beach huts have been banned by the powers that be,and yet goodwood estate are allowed to put a huge elephant on a bicycle at the side of the road! Is it me or has the world gone daft? Keep up the good work."

"KEEP SUNDAY SPECIAL is something we also do. We have a small family run business also in Wittering and do not open on Sundays. Well done for not doing something that most small business are forced into doing at the loss of valuable family time."

"We love coming to Russells all year round but at Christmas time its something else! Simply magical and sure to inject us with that special festive feeling. The food is outstanding - how such simple food can be made to taste so delicious is beyond us. Well done to you all."

Left by Mrs Skinner on 2008-12-19

"Your cakes are second to none locally and we enjoy the fresh sandwiches and chunky bread too! Our family loves to wander around the furniture and usually end up buying an item or two. Thank you for giving us locals somewhere to enjoy so much. The Jack Family"

Left by Melanie Jack on 2008-05-24

"Courage of your convictions - the best way to describe your decision to close on a Sunday. Good luck and we wish more companies would follow. It will not affect our continued support of your superb garden centre one iota."

Left by Cavan Jackson on 2008-04-04

"Visited you today and was amazed at how Russells has changed, well done!"

Left by Greta Moore on 2008-02-11

"Keep sunday special! We agree , retail has become far far too commercialised recently and you guys need a break. Well done for keeping the Sunday for families. "

Left by Jen Miller on 2007-12-07

""I am writing in support of keeping the mound you have created, which has become a haven for wildlife and has greatly enhanced the area.It is difficult to concieve that common sense will not prevail within the Council in this case. It would be a travesty and simply bad judgement to have to remove this." Leo May cktoys.com"

Left by Leo May on 2007-11-29

"I hope the council do not make you take down your wildlfe haven, you have our full support"

Left by Joan Hart on 2007-11-29

"You have our full support. We run a small local business harbourcars.com and although the car industry is also a 7 day a week business we chose, for the sake of our staff and our own family, not to open on Sundays. A good work / family life balance is very important and valued. So good luck to Russells on this decision and I hope everyone will be shopping there Mondays to Saturdays and have a bit of fun on Sundays. "

Left by Shan Langley on 2007-07-12
