Brogdale Collections is the home of the National Fruit Collection, our orchards are a living history & heritage of fruit

  Great day out for kids and adults! Live music performing at three stages, loads of fun activities for kids; especially enjoyed the piglet race, still waiting for my piglet to... read more come in. Ideal Bank Holiday weekend weather, special credit to the bands for performing in that heat! Hullaballoo were awesome as usual, not lost any of their magic! Did I mention the cider? Lots of taste testing of apple, pear and some unusual ciders ie rhubarb. A well organised event, caught the train to Faversham station and practically walked straight on to the shuttle bus to Brogdale. We're tempted to try get tickets for Sunday aswell!

  We attended as a family of 4, (two adults 2 children) it was our first time here, hadn't heard of it before, but saw an ad for the easter egg... read more hunt that was taking place and looked at reviews which were all positive so booked it and was all looking forward to it. It cost us £15 for a family of four... The first and last time we pay for a walk! Literally just a walk around the orchard looking for wooden eggs hanging in trees, might not have been so bad if entry times were more staggered, as groups of us were finding the eggs at the same time making 'finding' the eggs less exciting for the kids as people in front of us were giving it away... Also the children's 'prize' for completing the wooden egg hunt was not even worth the £15 FAMILY entry fee, choices were, ONLY ONE EACH(was made very clear by rude member of staff) a mini packet of harbios, a tiny lolly, a little malteaser chocolate or mini chocolate eggs from Aldis...£15 for a walk and not even a small easter egg rewarded at the end.

  After looking around in Tiddly Pomme at Brogdale, where the man was very helpful and pleasant, I then popped into the collections office to get some information and was unfortunately... read more greeted by a very rude and condesending lady who was most unhelpful and totally rude for no apparent reason. I would be reluctant to visit their office again.

  Just had a brilliant Christmas lunch with a friend. Table setting just lovely and the food was really delicious. Turkey and all the trimmings, followed by traditional Christmas pud and... read more custard. Then a mince pie to bring home as absolutely full up. Made so very welcome by all, so well worth visiting any time of day as have already sampled the breakfast menu (2). Brilliant host Bob. Thank you.

  I've been going to Brogdale for years and have written many good reviews. Unfortunately after a particularly unfortunate experience I wrote a poor, but truthful review. When I went... read more again in order to have lunch and hopefully write a good review I was told at first that they were full, this was clearly not the case. The owner then said my friend could eat there but I couldn't after the review I had left!!
Note to self, if you go back to somewhere in the hope that they will want to impress so you can write a better review, you may find you have been barred. Thank goodness there are other places to go to.
