BHN Garden Centre in Chelmsford

My husband and I arrived early at Buckhurst for breakfast. When we received our breakfasts at nearly £10 each it was obvious that they had been prepared in advance as the mushrooms were luke warm, the vegetarian sausages were over cooked, hard and dry and the toast was cold. It just didn't seem freshly cooked as perhaps prepared too early and not heated through. Staff however were wonderful, so was the coffee and the garden centre but we won't be back for breakfast.

We had a really nice lunch - cottage pie was delicious with a great choice of traditional puddings for dessert. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

They didn’t have what I wanted so thought I’d get a coffee before I left. Didn’t get any food as it was all ridiculously expensive. The coffee I ordered was a regular size but my goodness it was tiny, other places class it as small. Lots of tables not cleared, and in my opinion isn’t like a cafe as it’s more like a canteen. Staff seemed ok, not overly friendly though.

The cage here has never been amazing but at least it was friendly and felt comfortable. We have visited BHN twice recently to stock the garden and used the cafe both times. Since the rebuild following the fire it is too big, it feels and looks like a works canteen. On both visits we remarked how small the coffee is for the price, the large is the same size as a regular in other places. The bread we had was dry and the coronation chicken was bland. Yesterday we shared a Bakewell tart and it was as hard as a rock and completely flavourless. The staff don’t even look at you when they take your order and it isn’t a friendly experience. Overall the cafe feels echoey and far too big to be comfortable and the food and attitude need addressing.

went for brunch, wasn't as busy as we thought it might be, food was good, coffee was hot whereas some places you go it gets cold quickly, had a look at the plants and bought a couple

The garden centre is lovely but the cafe food is dire. I asked for a sausage roll as there was one on display, That was the sausage roll I got complete with dried up salad, I did think they might have refreshed the salad! I also had a slice of Bakewell, which had way too much almond flavouring and the pastry was solid enough to break teeth! The coffee was quite bitter. The staff were I saw were friendly enough but the food seriously lets it down

This garden centre is good to sell you items but do not want to know when you have problems. I purchased it in April and obviously never used it until the summer when it broke. It was obviously not suitable for its use. It was not a cheap umbrella either.

had a couple of good experiences here till today. I love sweet and sour and was very happy when I noticed it on the menu. This is my no1 first choice where ever its offered, from Chinese takaway to uncle bens at home. What i got was more like a goolash, loaded with chilli. I bought this up with the staff who thought it was quite normal to get chilli in sweet and sour, I beg to differ. will think again about returning.

We used to frequently eat here for lunch before the renovations. Sadly, since reopening, the prices have gone up and the quality seems to have gone down. We arrived for lunch with our kids, and it was so cold in there. I asked a staff member if there was heating, to be told that there wasn’t any (the air con units apparently don’t do heat). If that’s the case, they’re going to be in trouble when the temperature really starts to drop. The breakfast was ok, but not very hot, and the price for a tea cake and jam was ridiculous - £3.60, plus an extra £1.40 for a tiny pot of jam. So £5 altogether, which is shocking when you can get the same thing for a couple of quid in most other local garden centres/cafes. The kids meal options are again very pricey for what you get compared to other local places (Hyde hall etc), with the quantities being very small (half a sandwich). We really wanted to support this place after they reopened, but sadly I don’t think we’ll be returning. It’s an expensive meal out for a garden centre.

We stopped here for tea and cake on Saturday. The queue was long - i queued for more than 10 minutes and shortly after, it had more than doubled in size. Service was extremely slow with only one person taking the orders but lots of other staff milling around not seeming to do much. She clearly was harried and stressed and it showed in her manner to customers. The food - when unceremoniously dumped on our table - was inedible. The scones looked anaemic and the lemon drizzle cake looked a soggy mess (and I was told, from past experience, was indeed soggy) so I tried the bread pudding. It was absolutely awful - stodgy, wet and tasted dreadful. One of us had a toasted tea cake which was thin and unappealing. Since being rebuilt this is a huge space and, judging by the queues, could be really successful but I would really advise avoiding this coffee shop.

Popped in to see how the new cafe is. Not impressed at all, which is a shame because I’ve been looking forward to it. Ordered a scone and coffee, the scone had mould on! Not impressed with the response from staff either, quite abrupt.

The coffee shop has not been open long since the fire so we thought we would go and have breakfast as we used to I’m afraid it wasn’t a patch on the old breakfast, my wife asked for poached eggs on toast sorry we can’t do that you have to have smashed avocado as well ? I had the English breakfast which consisted of two sausages two fried eggs small portion of beans, two rashers of undercooked, bacon and mushrooms that look like they hadn’t seen a frying pan or any butter. Just warmed up under a grill and were very unappetising and a hash brown, which is not English, but American no tomatoes, no black pudding no sauces on the table or offered you have to go back and ask at the counter and they are hidden underneath very disappointing and a total cost of £23.20 Great Garden Centre, but the café needs sorting out

There were a lot of different plants here and we did buy some and a couple of gifts. Overall the garden centre is really nice, it was the coffee shop that rated 3*. Asked for a basic cheese baguette, told sorry we have new staff and they can only do what’s on the menu. Really!! Grated cheese and a baguette. One of us a wrap which was liked. Two of us had cross cut chips which were nice but not what we had wanted. The waitress first bought out the drinks, put the tray on the table and walked off then same with food. Not a word uttered at all. Yes she was young but that’s no excuse for what she did. Drinks not bad

This Garden Centre has a very good selection of plants & equipment for the gardener & a super restaurant as well for your refreshments which can be purchased for a very reasonable price.

Lovely food very helpful staff and a wide selection of stock throughout the store I have been coming here for a number of years highly recommended

We have been returning customers for a number of years but when we recently visited the coffee shop for lunch, it was a huge disappointment. The toasted sandwich is normally thick cut bread with a side of coleslaw, presented well with a salad. The sandwich was thin cheap bread, which looked like it had been thrown on the plate, there was not any coleslaw and the salad looked like it had been left out of the fridge for a few hours. On a positive note the latte we had was good and the sandwich fillings were ample and tasty and the service was good. However the price we paid for a mediocre lunch, which was badly presented, was too much and we would definitely think twice about returning..... such a shame!!

Overall poor food and service at the wrong price point. Was charged £50 for 3 kids lunches and 2 adults. Food was average at best which I wouldn’t mind but when you’re paying £8 for a baguette you’d expect something a bit more. Cofffee is awful, was so weak on my black coffee I could see the bottton of the mug. Asked if the coffee was always this week and was told a lot of people say that. Fair enough they added an extra shot but maybe need to look into further if it’s common feedback. Won’t be returning

Went today with my wife for a quick lunch. Bearing in mind it was already 13.15pm and the place wasn't busy, we ordered 1 bacon and brie ciabatta and 1 fish fingers ciabatta and 1 portion of potato wedges. We waited for 45 minutes for our food to arrive; poorly presented, my wife's bacon and brie ciabatta looked as if it had been run over by a bus (I know that in order to toast it they place it in a press but this was well and truly flat!). My fish fingers ciabatta consisted of 2 COLD and OVERCOOKED fish fingers in a barely cooked ciabatta with shredded iceberg lettuce and a bit of tartare sauce (bought in). The potato wedges were cooked and they were greasy. In all with 1 tea and 1 coffee they managed to charge me over £29!! Where on Earth do they price their food? If the food had it been enjoyable I would have gladly paid for it but this "quick lunch" left a very bitter taste in my mouth . Shame on you, you do not deserve the business! NEVER AGAIN

Very poor service in the cafe Abrupt and rude staff behind the counter . Very expensive for what it is . Shame nice garden centre

Visited the BHN cafe this morning for breakfast with our grandchildren. When we went to order we were told that we were too late as they stopped serving breakfast at 11.30. At this point it was 11.33. There were 3 people in front of us placing orders which took up at least 5 minutes, hence we missed the 11.30 deadline. The lady on the till checked with the chef but they were adamant we couldn’t have the breakfast. We understand there has to be a cut off point but also some flexibility is needed and perhaps a different attitude to customer service !!

Visited the restaurant with friends today was greeted by a very happy and helpful young man (think his name was Gareth) nothing was tomuch trouble had a lovely afternoon will definitely be visiting again.

A fabulous garden centre and a great shopping experience, we are now regular visitors. Disappointingly we have yet to successfully visit the cafe as they have twice ran out of the food we wanted to order and on another occasion was far too busy.

I did not visit the restaurant, but I was interested in visiting the garden centre. The space afforded to plants was huge, but for some reason I thought the centre was under-stocked. However, my wife and our friend enjoyed the shop, which was crammed with...

The food was very nice once it arrived but three sandwiches took 55 minutes to appear which is an absolute joke! I doubt we’ll be back.

Stopped off on way home with my mum to have lunch. She finds noisy situations difficult. As there were no tables free outside we sat in the corner of the restaurant. It was very noisy with music on. On ordering i asked staff how long the wait would be, explaining our situation. I was assured it would only be 15-20min wait as we only wanted sandwiches. We were kept waiting for 45min and only then received our order after another customer spoke to staff for us. we would not have stayed if an honest answer was given. People around us were receiving their orders much quicker. My mum was very stressed and I was very concerned for her. The food was good although I feel overpriced for the amount of food received. I will say though the staff were working very hard and were polite. I will probably not be returning.

As well as providing good quality gardening equipment, trees, shrubs & plants for the gardener, they also have a great restaurant on site as well. It is very spacious after recently being refurbished & enlarged to cater for the increased demand of their patrons. All their food is freshly prepared to your requirements & all can be purchased for a very reasonable price.

We used the restaurant for coffee and cake the kids had hot chocolate and panninis. The food was delicious and the service was very good. In fact I comment on the amount of staff there were throught the whole nursery. Plenty of seating outside too

White Elm just down the road is much better if you have a family with you. his is probably better for the serious gardener,

Have just come back from a visit to BHN (|Buckhatch Nursery and Garden Centre) my fist visit and really glad we decided to check this garden center out, larger than what I thought it would be, had so much to offer, prices were in line with the quality of the plants, well looked after noticed that staff were trimming, and deadheading, everything was labled, staff knowledgeable and friendly. loved the wooden garden furniture, THE CAFE, although very busy, staff had time for you, food was freshly made and plenty of it, very enjoyable well worth the wait (probably just hot food as sandwiches where coming out quickly), staff came to our table and kept us informed (never had that from anywhere before) which impressed us even more. Well done all of you, this is how a company should run.

I have visited this garden centre many times for shopping and food. The food is very nice but this is a busy garden centre so a little patience is appreciated. The staff work very hard and do their best to provide a professional and friendly service. Jane always greets customers with a warm smile and will do anything to ensure the customer enjoys their experience. The staff have to deal with the occasional rude customer which is very undeserved. Some people need to go get a hobby rather than leaving negative reviews and trying to upset people who are just working hard and doing their job.

Visited here today for lunch with my mum. We use the garden centre and thought today we would treat ourselves to a spot of lunch in the new restaurant area. The blackboards had lots of choice and we instantly went to our favourite sandwich filling, coronation chicken. I went to find a seat while my mum placed our order. Our sandwich arrived and instead of coronation chicken it was chicken mayo which we said wasn’t ours. She took it away and then the lady who had served my mum came over and instantly started blaming my mum for the confusion. She said a few times that my mum had ordered 2 chicken mayo sandwiches which my mum had not. The receipt also showed that this was not the case. The lady also made it clear that this was not actually something they offer and implied they had done us a favour by making this especially for us (even though it was not what we had ordered). The lady then walked back towards the kitchen half way through a conversation. I felt she had been very rude to my mum for no reason, she had made the mistake but was trying to blame my mum. The correct sandwich came and it was very tasty but unfortunately the experience was ruined by rudeness and the feeling that everyone was talking about us behind the counter.

Went in cafe for lunch at 1.30pm. Very long queue which seemed to take a long time to get served. We had coronation chicken jacket potatoes with a coffee and a diet coke. The coke was from the display fridge but was not at all cold for some reason. seating area felt like a staff canteen and I found it very noisy. Food took a while to arrive and the baked potato was very overcooked. We went on to have a look around the garden centre which made the trip there a bit more worth while.

The Garden Centre has grown massively since we were last there. They have sufficient staff to ensure that, no matter how many people visit, there is always a good variety of plants, trees, seeds , garden furniture, pots, accessories and much more. In fact the variety is endless, everything you would expect to see in the best of Garden Centres.

What a great place. Every time we go there is something new. There are thousands of plants to choose from.

Eaten here on several occasions. Visited last week and the restaurant area has been vastly expanded with plenty of seating and well spaced. The food was good and reasonably priced. We also wandered around the garden centre which over the last 2 or 3 years has been extended with more plants and associated goods.

Have always used BHN for my plants as always found them to be of good quality. Decided to visit the restaurant for the first time and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Only had a coffee and a cake on this occasion, but sat in front of a real fire, which was a lovely touch, very warm and cosy. Will definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.

Had breakfast there twice now, both times food was poor luke warm, seating area very cold and extreamly smokey had to have doors open so fire alarm would not sound. Restaurant shares the area with the wood burner sales and demo area. Staff were of no help at all. Strange.

Having had hip surgery in January and being marooned indoors, decided with my husband and friends to visit this Garden Centre. Not that far from us so not a long car trip. We were able to get a disabled space without any problems, as we entered the building, staff were polite and wished us a good morning and asked if we needed any help. We made our way to the cafe and had coffee and homemade sausage roll which incidentally was one of the best I’ve ever had. We looked st the outside plants which all looked healthy and everywhere was very clean and tidy. Inside there was a vast variety of candles, homewares, cards etc all at reasonable prices, the displays were beautifully laid out and again the staff were all very polite. After a while we went back to the cafe for a spot of lunch. The cafe was clean and very pleasant , the menu was very varied and very reasonable. Our meals were served quickly, very hot, and the portions were quite big. All the staff there were very pleasant too, and I noticed the minute a table was vacated, it was cleared and cleaned. I was so impressed about this garden centre I have recommended it to several people already. I’m a keen photographer, it’s a hobby, and there was so much to photograph from the flowers to the homewares and the colours of it all were amazing. Thank you BHN for making my first long trip out such a lovely occasion

Let's be clear its primarily a Plant Nursery/ Garden Centre with a large eatery. So I'm not expecting fine dining. Food was ok, and seating in the "lounge" area very good. The main restaurant area is a little bland and more akin to a works canteen - its functional - just lacks ambiance. Music too loud for my liking. I would rank the overall site a being in the middle of its competitors: it's better than Cramphorns in Chelmsford, but Perrywoods in Tiptree would be my top choice.

When ever we feel like buying some plants for the garden we inevitably go to BHN because they have such a good selection to choose from & after this we go into their restaurant for a drink & snack or something more substantial. The staff there are very friendly & they have a comprehensive menu to choose from & all their meals can be purchased for a very reasonable cost.

Last week I took 3 friends for breakfast . First you pick from a black board offering lots to choose from.We choose 3 large breakfasts which had double of most things and the other was one of each my colleague asked could he swap hash browns and mushrooms for maybe more beans and a extra egg to be told no you can only change one item?? Which is stupid when it would not put anyone out and keeping customer happy?? The lady was very rude with her answer so I said put the mushrooms on my plate. When it all arrived the mushrooms look like they were boiled and not cooked and still on the wrong plate plus beans stone cold .. waste of money. If I had the cafe first I would teach all the staff how to deal with paying customers sack the manager and re start again

I have used the coffee shop at Buckhatch Nursery for a number of years and I have always loved going there. Sadly for the second time in a matter of months I feel I need to write another negative review after my visit earlier today!

We have been patrons of this Garden Centre for many years, because all their plants & garden tools & other accessories are are excellent. As well as this they have revamped the nursery itself plus the restaurant has been relocated & is now larger & more spacious, there is plenty of space for more customers to sit comfortably. They have a very comprehensive menu & specials board & all their food is freshly prepared & cooked to perfection & all their food can be purchased for a very reasonable price. This nursery is well worth a visit.

I visited the café this afternoon with my mum. We queued to order our food and when we were next to be served the lady behind the counter said "can I have your tray?" there was no politeness, no smile, no hello, nothing. We passed the tray over, ordered our food and paid, to which we were giving a number to display on our table. When our food was brought to the table, this was a different lady, the plates were put down infront of us and nothing was said. Not even an "enjoy your meal" she just walked off. Once we had finised our food (which was lovely, I must say) we put our plates and cups on the tray and started putting our coats on, the lady who delivered our food was walking past and collected our tray to which my mum said "thank you very much" the lady didn't even acknowledge us, she just walked off with the tray.

The chunky vegetable soup was quite appalling. Had no taste even when smothered in black pepper and after a couple of mouthfuls could eat no more as quite revolting. Best part of purchase were the two rolls but they worked out very expensive at over £4.00! Mentioned to waitress but very disappointed that no one came out of the kitchen to apologise/allow opportunity to discuss. Have used nursery many times before but will certainly not be going back in a hurry. Can think of better places to now spend my money.

Good place to buy plants, compost and charcoal. Massive choice spread out over a large area. Good value as well.

Love this place, one of my favourites for breakfast, good quality produce and reasonable prices, ideally for a cheeky weekend treat.

Some time ago I had an awful meal here, and today, as I like the nursery shop, decided to give the Tea Room another chance. What a mistake, although the coffee is nice, I ordered the Quiche, it came on a small lone plate, no side salad, and it was swimming in oil. The pastry was wet and soggy, and the quiche filling was like a brick. Truly awful. Also ordered was a Cheese and Ham Pastry, that was really overcooked and with very little filling. Not cheap, but just really disappointing.

We've visited BHN garden centre/restaurant a number of times. It's a good garden centre and the food is always decent.

We have been coming to this garden centre for years and watched its expansion with interest. It's good to have a garden centre that is still a garden centre and not taken over by eateries and other merchandising. Although both the aforementioned are available it is first and foremost a garden centre. We have always received expert advice and the staff show a real interest in their customers. Gill is unfailingly helpful. The staff inside the main building went out of their way to help us with a garden parasol. We are not local, and are happy to drive some distance for the range and quality of shrubs and plants, always at good prices. Would not consider going anywhere else. We have had coffee and lunch many times, and again have been pleased with the service and choice

We sat outside with the dog, we all ordered sandwiches and wraps, which were delicious and came with Cole slaw and salad. The food was very reasonably priced, the staff were friendly and helpful. The seating area outside is spacious and comfortable. Will definitely return.

very good very reasonably priced good selection ,lovely restaurant excellent food, would recommend a visit

We stopped by to look round the Nursery which was a little sparse,we thought we would have a coffee. We saw other diners and their lunch so we decided to have lunch glad we did. My husband had a big plate of curry and I had a massive plate of prawn salad it was really delicious.

What a lovely spacious cafe and nursery. Had a lovely lunch with cold drinks as a very hot day. Our toasties came with a lovely fresh salad and crisps. Plenty of room in the place for children as lovely lunch with our toddler and he loved the colouring corner to keep him entertained for sometime during and after lunch. Will recommend and def be visiting again.

A birthday treat afternoon tea. Well worth waiting for. Everything so freshly prepared and lovely staff. There was plenty of choices on the plate so much so that we could not eat it all. Lucky husbands also got a treat. The garden centre and gift shop also well worth a visit.

very nice garden centre. lots of plants and things to look around and buy.the restaurant has very good food and good prices.been there few times very good garden centre

We have been dropping into BHN for years now. Recently it was taken over and re-modeled; Buck Hatch Nursery is the new brand name. Move over Tiptree, this has now become our favorite garden centre and tea room.

We visit this garden centre very frequently as they grow & produce top quality plants & shrubs, they also have a good selection of garden tools & other equipment & have a vast display of garden ornaments & other gifts for you to view. Plus once you have finished your shopping etc. you can go to their new restaurant & enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee & a cake or something more substantial if you wish & all can be purchased for a very reasonable price.

Had a look round, purchased some bedding plants, excellent quality. Helpful staff and good atmosphere. Café excellent, great breakfast and lunch, good prices as well.

I needed a venue where as a group of 25 people we could all have breakfast at the same time sitting together and at our chosen time. We then needed to be able to return for lunch, again at our time and seated together. I was told by the manager Claire that they could cover all our requirements and my goodness didn't they. 25 Full English Breakfast's served hot and at the same time and within minutes of them just opening. We returned at Lunchtime to find our seats reserved together and then 25 Lunches served exactly as we had ordered by a happy and very efficient team of staff. All this while they were serving, I would estimate as another 80 people having meals.

My husband and myself have been going to this garden centre for years, always a enjoyable experience ,the majority of the improvements have now been made and we find the cafe very clean, the staff very friendly,and the food excellent,whether you want a snack or a dinner always very tasty and well presented, the food is always freshly cooked to order, will recommend to friends. Great place

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. The friendly staff are always so kind and considerate towards my parents who are 89 and 90. Nothing is too much trouble for them and the food is very good.

BHN garden centre has “recently” been upgraded. Part of the (very long) process has been to make the restaurant much bigger – in its current state it's a disaster!

I tried the coffee shop at BHN again yesterday. Could not believe that the lady directing staff behind the counter was telling another member of staff about the recent poor reviews about long waits for food. Had she been more professional and had her conversation in private snd when there was not a queue of waiting customers, the reviews might be better

We visited yesterday for lunch having been several times in the past, and must say that we TOTALLY agree with the recent reviews of other customers. The two staff behind the counter were pleasant but seemed inexperienced and very slow to say the least. Where...

He sido un cliente por años y he visto este centro excelente mejorar gradualmente las instalaciones y diseño. Lo mejor que he encontrado a guardería a 30 minutos en coche de casa para comprar a granel. Apariencia elegante y buen aparcamiento. El restaurante tiene una parada final, parecía haber estado de compras alrededor de la pequeña pero bien equipada y zona de venta de equipamiento de regalos del jardín. En construcción en la actualidad pero no demasiado de una molestia y mejorará aún más lo que está en oferta.

Caminando por la guardería, como hemos hecho durante años, nos dio asco escuchar cómo un miembro antiguo señora de personal era hablar con las chicos jóvenes trabajando fuera. Los chicos estaban trabajando duro en el calor y ayuda a los clientes. Ella estaba hablando con ellos como si fueran estúpidos y despreciable. Estamos tomando nuestro negocio a otro lado. Qué pena porque venden tales plantas.

(Pearl Jam) - estación de jardín común,

Been here for breakfast twice this week and both times have been really goodThe garden centre is being developed nicely and my only suggestion would be to increase the size of the restaurant or it won't be long before it won't be able to cope with the number of people coming in

We have been using this nursery for many years, for the quality of their garden plants, trees, shrubs & garden accessories etc. Also they have a very nice restaurant which can provide you with hot & cold drinks & food or something more substantial. The staff there are very friendly & their food is all freshly prepared to your requirements & all for a very reasonable cost.

Have been on a few occasions and seen improvements to the garden centre which is still being improved, but the cafe area is also worth a visit for light snacks, lunch.

Garden Centre with lots to offer. Fantastic eatery with wide and varied choice of food, reasonably priced to suit every requirement at any time of day. Impressive nursery with extensive range of plants, shrubs and bedding plants. Well stocked and inspirational gift shop.

We visit often as the food is always great,there is a good choice and always fresh and tasty.Sometimes there is a small wait for food but its all prepared fresh so a small wait is only to be expected.The staff are always courteous and friendly another reason why we visit,it can get busy sometimes but thats down to its popularity.I would thouroughly reccomend a visit and we will continue to eat there.Lovely food and lovely people running it.

Cake and coffee was nice but when there are more people behind the counter than customers, and you still wait 10 mins to be served - it's a joke.

Very good cafe/restaurant with so much choice on chalk boards behind the counter. Good cake selection. Garden centre has excellent plants and separate greenhouse for indoor plants. Plenty of parking.

If you want good food with a staggering choice on the menu then call in for a bite, breakfast, lunch afternoon tea, they serve the lot and it's very good.
