The Poppies Restaurant Family
Many of the people who welcome guests to Poppies have been part of our story for decades, with some proudly serving for more than thirty years. Their experience and genuine warmth shape the feeling of familiarity that so many guests remember. We have more than 100 staff at Poppies. We can't show you all of them, but here are a few friendly faces you might recognise.
