Polhill offers a variety of different shopping experiences, backed by a decent cafe and good restaurant offering standard, mainly English type fare.
Certain brands like Cotton Traders and Pavers give it stability.
And of course it is also a decent garden centre too.
There is a separate Farm food shop too, though prices are a little loaded upwards but you can sometime get stuff you would not elsewhere. That is complimented by the on site butcher.
Worth a visit. Considering they take coach trips in .... I guess it says they are as popular as well ...

I love this Garden Centre
I get a real lift when I go to Polhill Garden Centre. The plants are so well looked after, even in this weather, unlike some other Garden Centre's. I also love the choice of gifts and cards. And breakfast with a once a month free coffee, happy days. Thank you.

Love Polhill!
We went to have a look at watering cans, do our usual little shop in the "supermarket" and have our July free drink. Always love coming to Polhill! All staff very friendly. Bought the watering can on offer, bought some goodies from the shop and enjoyed our drink treat. Great chats with cafe staff added to the pleasure 🥰

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed visiting our garden centre, but I am sorry to learn that you found the pricing at Novell's Restaurant disappointing.
We always strive to offer high-quality ingredients and a great dining experience. Your comments regarding our pricing have been noted and will be shared with our catering management team for future review.
We hope to welcome you back to the garden centre again soon.

I met a friend who came in by coach
I met a friend who came in by coach. The assistants at the till were very helpful and friendly. I was given a free pot of tea because I had a Polhill rewards card - which was a surprise. Lunch was very nice and the staff in the restaurant were very helpful.

Polhill is a fab destination - to shop, to have a coffee or lunch and to meet people.
Lots of reasons why it’s a great place to visit. It’s a big place, so lots to look at and lots of variety. Great Evergreen coffee group and opportunities to meet people and go on outings if you wish. Really nice, helpful staff giving good advice. Lots of parking spaces - what’s not to love?
