The Potting Shed Cafe

My husband had a full breakfast , I had a bacon bap. Unfortunately the breakfast was lacklustre . The bacon was dried up , my large bap was lacking in bacon three shrivelled up pieces. Will definitely stick to cake. Everything seems as it had been hanging around , dried out.

The food is generally good, especially the chips. Jacket potato was tasty, but be aware the salad garnish comes with a dressing on. We went early before it became busy and the food came very quickly. Child's meal was good, apart from the ever diminishing number of sausages used to be 3, then 2, now only one. Pleased they have taken on board serving the beans in a separate pot. No pizza, despite being told in the summer it was only on the winter menu. Ketchup and mayo bottles were all virtually empty nothing was done about this, despite telling a member of staff. Tables were cleared much quicker and I was impressed how thoroughly they cleaned the highchairs after each use. Prices do seem to be going up a lot and £2.35 for a small bottle of coke is a bit much.

We didn 't end up staying and eating in this café unfortunately. There are kiddie lunchboxes available, great for littler ones but probably not substantial enough for 6yrs+. The next option was a limited hot food kids menu which also appeared to not be big enough in portion for 'in betweeny ' children. The adult menu was neither appropriate. I cannot say however that the food looked unappetising but it was quite pricey. Maybe stick to a picnic or food from the farm shop if you know you 've encountered issues like this before.

Went there today for lunch with a friend. Had been there before and lunch had been excellent but today was dreadful. My friend had the linguine which she said she was sure was tinned spaghetti, looked awful. I asked for a smoked salmon/cream cheese sandwich. Slice of dry bread, with a small spread of cream cheese and some smoked salmon. A few salad leaves with minimal dressing, no tomato or cucumber. Two scrapings of carrot and two scrapings of something I couldn't identify, and a few crisps. Two non alcoholic drinks for nearly £20. Won't be going back there again!!

Used this cafe but found the prices on the high side. Quite busy and it has a captive customer base as it’s within Frosts garden centre.
