AVOID THIS PLACE??????i can not believe how unprofessional the management is in this establishment!not very welcoming to disabled people!manager is very rude and unprofessional even went as fair a laughing at me because I was trying to explain the person I was helping in to the restaurant was blind!disgusting behaviour won?t be returning!also would like to add the lady and gentleman behind the till who also works there apologiesed on the managers behalf for being unprofessional and offerd me a cake and a hot drink free of charge!I refused obviously!and I see the manager is making a lot of lies up as I wouldn?t need to use bad language to get my point across,as it was her being passive aggressive!don?t wast your hard earned money at this place!im not the only unhappy customer!and for your information I didn?t make it to your shop before you started ranting!also the car park was empty and as I stated you could visibly see the person I was with was blind!now I understand why car park was empty and there are so many other bad reviews!we all must be in the wrong ay?!anyway had a lovely breakfast at the fish farm in hawkhurst amazing views,polite and welcoming staff and food was out of this world!

Great little gardens to spend an afternoon with a cup of tea and lovely piece of homemade cake and then a mooch around the Garden Centre... very enjoyable ?

The good old days when you could be guaranteed to find quality unusual plants together with a wonderful coffee and snack have long passed. But still not at all bad

We visited the restaurant today for Mothers Day (9 of us). I have to say, it was just fantastic. So much so, I am doing the extremely unusual thing for me, and reviewing. The food was exceptional (dinners ordered included roast beef, roast chicken, risotto and a kids menu item. One of our party was gluten free. The size and quality was just excellent and great value for money. On top of that, highly unusual for British eateries? the deserts were just as great ! Walked it off around the garden centre. What a lovely day ?

We had never been to Merriments before and had spotted it on our route plan before we left. So, my Mum and I stopped here to break our long journey and were really delighted we did. The atmosphere was welcoming, the decor/colour scheme so lovely and the staff really friendly. The refreshments we had were very tasty, especially the hot chocolates which were scrumptious.We would love to go back and explore more of the gardens and garden centre.Would highly recommend a visit!

First time, very pleased visitors! Bought a variety of indoor/outdoor plants for wife?s birthday (the choice here is VAST!) and all look healthy and happy.Also enjoyed lunch in the Merriments restaurant and that was delicious. All the staff here are helpful, friendly and know their stuff. Big shout out to Grace who was especially helpful in choosing our house plants, and Tracey for our outdoor stuff?Thank you!!We will return to look around the gardens (too wet today) and enjoy another lunch! Oh, and no doubt buy some more plants!All in all. This place is perfect!
