Six pensioners ordered tea for 5 and earl grey for one and scones etc for six. Sorry, no scones, sold out yesterday. So ordered sandwiches instead. Tea arrived in a... read more one pint pot and an individual, 2-cup pot. Having poured 5 teas the pot was virtually empty. So we requested, as you would, a jug of hot water. A small cream jug arrived with half a cup of hot water. So we asked for more hot water. No. If you want more hot water you'll have to pay for more tea. Sorry. The poor girl was obviously just the messenger. No sign of manager or supervisor. So this experience plus sandwiches being made with stale bread was enough to ensure that we regulars will not return. I note other reviewers report similar problems. I wonder if Brogdale read their reviews?

Enjoy the beauty of Spring in Kent especially as shown at Brogdale - the National Fruit Collection. It is especially beautiful now with the blossom but it also has a World Music Garden (tubular bells, iroko xylophones etc) and a weather station both of which are both fun and educational for children. Every Sunday March-November you can ride on the only 9" railway opening to the public in the UK.
The centre has an excellent cafe and there is a Marketplace that includes a butchers (selling local produced meat), wine/cider/jam shop, plant centre and a gift shop.
