Poplar Nurseries Thyme Out'

Lovely Garden Centre and even better restaurant. Would highly recommend the afternoon tea.

Always worth a walk round even if your not really buying becouse you will by the time you walk out

Wonderful garden centre. Shame they don’t allow dogs like so many other of the best garden centres do.

Best plants in essex just so disappointing the cafe stops serving food so early Think your missing a trick really especially on a Saturday.

Great nursery to visit, everything you could need for your garden. Popped into cafe today, coffee and sausage sandwich, definitely go again.

Love it here never manage to visit for a browse always get tempted to buy. Picked up a lovely planter for mum for mother's day. And a couple of bits for Easter

I really rate this place, it’s one of these modern garden centres that is so much more than pot plants and compost…. There’s food, a huge shop, a cafe and even a miniature railway…. Not to mention a mega BBQ showroom. A day out almost!

This place needs to decide if its a cafe or a restaurant. Despite having at least 6 people behind the counter (1 of whom was the cashier), there was nobody to take our food order because they were all too busy delivering food to tables. We got fed up of waiting, and left.

I take my elderly parents out each week often we go to garden centres as plenty to look at, but the restaurant here always has no scones left! Whether it’s because we tend to visit after midday but they always tell me that they have all gone already. Surely if they are that popular they would cook more, I ask them if they could possibly make some more as with a kitchen on the premises it wouldn’t take long. Such a shame as it’s a lovely garden centre cream tea readily available would be perfect. Now we have to go elsewhere if it’s a cream tea in the afternoon that we want.
