Maidenhead Aquatics Mere Park in short
Maidenhead Aquatics Mere Park is a dedicated aquatics store inside the Blue Diamond Garden Centre on Stafford Road near Newport. The branch publishes its pet shop licence number on its store page and opens every day, with click and collect and a free fishkeeper app for tracking tanks behind the counter. Maidenhead Aquatics suits shoppers who want livestock, plants and kit from a specialist rather than a general pet aisle.
Customer reviews are strong on Google, the only public source we hold for the branch, with a high rating across a deep base of ratings. Our judgement is that this is the general fishkeeper’s shop of the round, backed by a company record stretching back decades. Against it, prices live in the wider online shop rather than on the store page, and insurance is not stated.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this suits you if you want a dedicated fish store near Newport with licensed livestock, seven-day opening and online ordering behind it [1]. The company record runs since 1995 [2]. Against that, prices live in the wider online shop rather than on the store page, and insurance is not stated [1].

Questions about Maidenhead Aquatics Mere Park
Is Maidenhead Aquatics Mere Park any good?
On the evidence, yes for general fishkeeping: it is second of the eight in our September round, holds a strong Google rating across a large base of ratings, and publishes a pet shop licence number. Prices sit in the wider online shop rather than on the store page. Read the full review, then check opening hours before you visit.
Is it licensed to sell fish?
Pet shop licence number PA016 is stated on the branch’s own store page. No OATA membership is recorded in the sources we hold, so OATA membership can’t be sourced. Ask for the licence details with any livestock query. Keep the number with your receipt.
What does Maidenhead Aquatics Mere Park charge?
No product prices appear on the store page itself, though the wider online shop carries them, with free express delivery over the stated threshold. That means your basket does the talking. Compare the online prices with the superstores before you travel.
