A Christmas review
You never really know how good your kitchen is until Christmas comes. Grown up children, friends and other family descend looking for feeding in a pleasant ambiance.
Alec designed my first kitchen when my children were 7 and 11. Now 30 and 27 arriving with partners they still have high expectations about their food existence.
Alec’s latest design didn’t fail to disappoint. His suggestions around cookers and warming draws and an extra large hob for catering paid off, the designer pink copper sink which provides a focal point for conversation and the low level lighting around the island and sink, are gorgeous.
Thx alex for your suggestions, your creative design, continuous patience with me changing my mind and sage advice about what will and won’t look good.
Happy new year to the whole Gardiners team and thank you. Karen Westbury village.

We recently had our kitchen designed by Alec at Gardiner Haskins, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish.
While other designers produced the kitchen I thought I wanted, Alec designed the one that truly works for us. He explained the reasoning behind each design choice clearly and helped us select colours and materials that made our space both practical and beautiful.
The fitters were outstanding — professional, skilled, and their attention to detail in the final finish was truly commendable.
The result is a family kitchen that’s a joy to use and enjoy every day. I can’t recommend Alec and the Gardiner Haskins team highly enough!

Gardiner Haskins is a very traditional furniture shop - in a good way. Lots of stock, great furniture names, good prices and fantastic service. Conveniently situated for the train station in a wonderful old building.

We absolutely love Gardiner Haskins! We entered the shop the first time when we were at the early stages of our kitchen extension. We had no idea how kitchen planning worked and Alec (Yull) was incredibly helpful! He guided us through every single step of our journey, from stylistic choices, to practical ones, to stuff that we would have never even thought about. Alec is incredibly experienced and was able to design a superb kitchen around all the limitations of our space, including odd columns and roof that we didn't know how to deal with. He's also incredibly knowledgeable in all the latest appliances, their perks and more common defects, and helped us choose the perfect kitchen for our needs. I strongly recommend this shop and I hope you have the chance to design your kitchen with Alec!

Excellent advice and support from Alec Yull at Gardiner on initial kitchen design, choices and imagery. Great quality kitchen and appliances. Fitted with meticulous detail by Tom Crompton at Branch Carpentry in Bristol. Images compare renders to final fit. Thank you we are really pleased with outcomes!
