It was the first time I'd been to this Nursery or Garden Centre, though my wife has been here before to meet a friend in the excellent small cafe. We came mainly as Alban Hill are a stockist of Strulch mulch and bought a couple of bags. We'll be back for more. While we were there a good look round was in order and we were impressed by the range & quality of the plant stock. The rose stock from David Austin was particularly good, though the specific plant we were after wasn't there. In fact the plant has been delisted by the grower, so Alban Hill won't have it. Thanks to Rebecca (according to my receipt) for info about the roses. Very helpful! All in all a great nursery and as keen gardeners of a small garden, we'll be back, even if it is slightly off our normal patch.

Great little Garden Centre with all the trimmings : Cafe, Shop, lots of Polly tunnels packed with stock. Massive choice of Manures, Mulches, composts etc. Pretty much what you would expect and that little bit more from a Garden Centre that is a bit off the beaten track but has so much going for it. 5 Stars are well worth it....Very helpful Staff too!

It has grown quite a bit from a few years ago when I first started going there. It had some unusual and out of the ordinary plants that were the thing that I used to look for and didn't mind paying a price for. Seems to now be a little more ordinary and a bit pricey although it still has a little of the family run nursery feel and well worth a visit. Can't say what the cafe is like as I have not been there yet. Overall a good place to visit.

I don't think I've ever been when it's not busy so that just goes to prove how popular it is. The staff are super friendly and you are always greeted with a warm welcome. I had homemade soup of the day. Absolutely delicious and came with a choice of a bread roll or toastie. Highly recommend.

This review is for the cafe only was in the cafe on the4th November had a warm sausage roll on its own and was charged £4.95 it wasn’t home made like they used to be it was tasteless reminded me of Greg’s sausage rolls. When my wife questioned the waitress about the price she just said yes I know and looked away. We used to use this cafe regularly a few years ago I just wondered if it has been taken over because when the two guys used to be there the sausage rolls were home made and very tasty will not be using the cafe again £4.95 for a sausage roll that you could buy from Greg’s is ridiculous it just tasted of salt

This is a split review. I love going to this little nursery but unfortunately I always take a little elderly lady with me who is now sadly in a wheelchair. The nursery has no disabled parking, which when it’s busy makes it extremely difficult to get the wheelchair out of the car. The car park is gravel not tarmaced so makes it very hard to push a wheelchair and makes it an uncomfortable ride for my friend and the outside only has some paths the rest is gravel so again making it impossible to see and buy all the plants, pots ect. The disabled toilet is ok, but it is up a ramp and has a tight turning area so the chair can get stuck. The cafe is good but you can not fit through the door and inside is very small, there is an outside but this is the uk and the weather is not always great. There is a lip at the bottom of the door which again makes for hard work. The staff are always polite and efficient but not always very helpful in the cafe. But if you are able to walk, then this is a lovely little place. Nice cafe, great cake, lovely plants, an indoor shop, outside seating, toilets and free parking. Brilliant.

I was checking prices and possible plants for my front garden project. I assume I was speaking to the owner who was extremely informative and provided professional advice against the garden plan I had taken with me. I hope to review these thoughts with my Gardeners this week and return with an order which they can deliver to me (for a nominal fee) A good selection of plants considering the devistation of the recent winds! I had plants and bark delivered and ready for my gardeners which finally occurred yesterday. My vision finally fulfilled! I returned today for more bark and plant supports and feed. Staff helpful and points on my loyalty card 👌 👏 It is expanding which is nice to My new loyalty bonus arrived so I visited with my neighbour. Nice to have a cake and coffee before venturing on a spend. Well kept and presented plants and staff always knowledgeable.

Went to the nursery yesterday to get some bits went to the till the spend came to just under £100 would have been more. I presented my Alban card and a voucher for just over £15. The voucher had a use by date of end Jan 23. Now firstly Alban always send out their vouchers mid to end Nov. in the past they have honoured the voucher after the expiry date. Not this time, frankly I have no need to go to any garden centre between Dec & Jan. The customer service I received was very poor and they were quite adament about not accepting the voucher. I will not be going back. There are plenty of garden centres.

Ahoy there, me hearties! Let me regale ye with me recent voyage to the garden center to acquire some flowers for me planter on the ship. As a seasoned pirate, I am no stranger to seeking out treasures, and the garden center was no exception. The sight of rows upon rows of vibrant blooms and the scent of fresh earth filled me nostrils with the promise of adventure. After much consideration, I settled on a combination of marigolds and petunias that I was sure would add a touch of beauty to the deck of me ship, and withstand the salty sea air. And let me tell ye, the journey back to the ship was not without its challenges, as I had to keep a sharp eye out for any rival pirates who might try to steal me precious cargo. But upon me return to the garden center, I indulged in a delightful treat at the cafe. As a pirate, I am not one to pass up the opportunity for a tasty morsel, especially when it comes with a steaming cup of coffee to warm me bones. The cafe itself was a cozy little nook, with a view of the flowers and greenery all around. I felt like a proper gentleman, taking a break from me swashbuckling ways to enjoy a moment of quiet and relaxation. Of course, me guard was not entirely down, as I kept one eye on the surroundings, just in case any pesky rival pirates should try to ambush me. In the end, the flowers and the treat were a welcome respite from the rigors of life at sea. And now, whenever I look at those blooms, I am reminded of the adventure that brought them aboard me ship. So, if any of ye pirates find yerselves at the garden center, be sure to stop by the cafe and treat yerselves to a little indulgence. Yo ho ho, and a caffeine boost to all!

Very disappointed. We have been visiting The Four Pillars for years having excellent food. During our last visit we collected our usual Saturday night takeaway and actually I can only describe it as unpleasant. The starter were supplied with a tiny bag of strong onions and one tiny pot of raita sauce no mixed salad as usual with a pot of sauce each. The chicken balti was tasteless, hardly any spices & if not for the name on the lid w would not have recognised as one of our weekly dishes. The chicken was sliced in small pieces with reddish tinge, not chunks also. The garlic rice and chicken bhuna were also very bland. I contacted The Four Pillars twice by contact form as the phone was busy but no reply or response. This is the part that has most annoyed me. A regular customer giving feedback, asking if the chef has changed and stating i was not asking for anything apart from giving & expecting feedback. Not sure if this is a one off but be prepared you could be disappointed.
