I think the reason nobody has replied yet is you haven't really given us enough information about you, your budget, riding style, preferences, etc to make any kind of informed recommendations...

Never heard of it? Link?

What stuff do you need to take to/from allotment etc, some sort of tourer or utlity bike might be better than a roadbike if needing to carry stuff in panniers and what not

budget about £200 not sure what my riding style is I am pretty new to road bikes not been on a bike in an age,anything i would take to the allotment would go within my rucksack its like this one in specs https://outlet.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/...g-phantom-gents-700c-14-speed-road-bike-white

With info given a horse and cart could come in handy

well with the allotment i will have things in a shed down there and stored so i don't have to drag it back and forth only food and a stove for making a cuppa.The bike is to get me there and back and about I don't drive or anytghing i hate buses

With your budget I would be looking at a decent 2nd hand bike rather than a cheap new one. It would be better made to start with and easier to replace bits that wear out or upgrade if you get the bug. Where are you based? @biggs682 might have something for you.
