Corona Virus update – 04/11/2020

Dear Customers,

With a second national lockdown beginning this Thursday 5th November we feel it is important to share some information about how Polhill Garden Centre will now trade.

The government has deemed Garden Centres as essentials stores based on various factors, the main one being to aid the well being of the local community by enabling you all to keep busy at home. Things will change slightly here at Polhill and these changes are highlighted below:

  1. We will be closing the restaurant and making this a takeaway only service. The restaurant area will be cordoned off from the main centre meaning you will need to queue separately should you wish to use the takeaway service. Directional Signage will be in place to aid you.
  2. We are moving our entrance to allow queueing in a sheltered area away from the wind and rain, however, our exit points remain the same so do remember where you parked.
  3. Additional queueing systems will be put in place to allow the Farm Shop and Butchers to manage their numbers in accordance with new guidelines.

We are all learning as we go but we hope these additional measures will make Polhill the safest place to shop during this lockdown. It is our priority and we will not compromise.

On a final note, please respect our staff, they have done a phenomenal job up to now and will continue to do so going forward, any abuse will not be tolerated. Let’s work together and get through this challenging time.

Kind regards,
The Polhill Team

*** PLEASE NOTE ***
At busy periods, and especially weekends, to keep the centre safe for both customers and staff and in accordance with government guidelines it may be necessary to queue to enter the centre to control numbers. We have cleared a large area for queuing, keeping as many people as possible protected from the elements.
Please also be aware that it may be necessary to close the queue off before our advertised closing time allowing those customers already in the queue and in the centre to complete their shopping.
If you are in more of a hurry or prefer to avoid queues we find that first thing in the morning on weekdays are generally quieter but this can obviously not be guaranteed.
Please can customers continue to wear facemasks in accordance with the current government guidelines at all times when in the centre and the queue.
We do understand that queuing can be frustrating but all measures have been implemented to keep everyone safe.

 At Polhill Garden Centre we stock 1,000’s of products which can be purchased in our centre or via our brand new online shop.
