There’s something for serious foodies, sweet lovers and healthy eaters right here at Poplar Nurseries. We’re delighted to bring some incredible local produce, not just at our fabulous farm shop, but within our home-cooked meals in our restaurant.

Get stuck into something delicious from our restaurant or delicatessen, pick up something indulgent or healthy from our farm shop. There’s never a bad time to visit our food departments with seasonal specials available throughout the year meaning you can enjoy those specialist favourites when the time comes.

Our Poplar restaurant seats up to 228 (144 inside, 22 outside and 62 in our conservatory). The conservatory overlooks the play area, gardens and Poplar Miniature Railway, making it a beautiful spot to enjoy a meal or a quick cup of coffee all year round.

Our menu changes seasonally, offering a wide selection of homemade favourites using local produce. Our chefs also create daily specials, allowing them to offer you some exciting new dishes to try. Our exquisite cakes, made on site, are also available to order whole and with over two hundred different cakes to choose from, this is an opportunity not to be missed! (Please note that 24 hour notice is required.)
