"We were hoping post covid that the menu would be back to where it once was. No such luck. Very little choice and while we were informed the fish cakes were a main meal if we had 2 each, we had to go elsewhere for a proper lunch afterwards. We did ask if we could have the potatoes and veg that came with the pork main meal but apparently they only had enough portions to go with the meat, even though they were 30 mins away from stopping serving lunch. The fish cakes supposedly came with salad. I had seen lovely salads on other plates the whole she bang of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, even coleslaw on one table so when it came with 3 wilted leaves it was doubly disappointing. At the very least you could offer veg with all main meals, we would happily have paid extra though to be honest it wasn’t cheap for 2 fish cakes. They were very tasty and a great appetiser but by no stretch were they a meal. Either you are a restaurant or you aren’t. Right now you aren’t."

The service and atmosphere are wonderful, and I always enjoy coming here, as it reminds me of the times I spent with my mom and her best friend. It brings back such great memories for me. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is not only amazing but also a fantastic value. View menu

The gardens are stunning and impeccably maintained, providing a peaceful atmosphere with plenty to explore. We also enjoyed the Beerrimente full breakfast, which was not only delicious but beautifully presented at the table. I highly recommend visiting this place. I even picked up a few items from the shop, making for a wonderful day overall.

This is a very charming garden centre. Although the indoor shop is smaller than many, they still manage to put on great displays, plus when I was there they were starting to put out the Christmas selection. The restaurant is now back to table service and is often packed. They always have a specials board. Cakes that not only look good but taste just as great. All round it's a lovely place to go.

This is a truly delightful place to visit. The Garden Centre is well-stocked, and the selection of gifts and cards is impressive. I enjoyed a cider and carrot cake while sitting outside in a peaceful and charming area. The Merriment Gardens are absolutely stunning; the planning and planting reflect great thought and skill, offering a varied and innovative experience that is a joy to behold. I highly recommend it!

A wonderful garden which has been divided into many garden 'rooms '. The jungle garden, herb garden, silver birch coppice in particular are simply amazing. With plenty of benches to sit and admire the garden it is easy to spend several hours here whether relaxing or gaining inspiration for your own garden. Definitely one of the best gardens in the South East. The staff in the nursery are helpful, knowledgeable and very polite and plants are reasonably priced.

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 stuffThank 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!
