Here is a sample of our last 2 bistro nights. We have really enjoyed hosting friends old and new during December. πππ We have our third on Saturday 29th which are platters of cured meats, oven baked camambert, breads and oils. We have limited tables left so there's still time. From David and all the team, we wish you all a very merry Christmas and good health for the new year πππ
You just Couldn't find a friendlier more accommodating place - with a standard of baking and cooking so high. I go as often as I can. A lovely stroll across Derby's Historic Marketon Park to the old Roman Road at Marketon and the garden centre there - ablaze with lights at Christmas. To their CafΓ© - the beautiful newly built Wood and Glass Potting Shed - an Architectural delight - Filled with expertly home Baked Cakes and fine food. Bring a friend an make an afternoon of it - or just take yourself for an hour or two of an afternoon. I love it and the people who run it.
What a lovely hidden gem - cozy and quaint. Great food too with generous helpings and friendly service. Second time and will definitely come again and recommend.
We were one of the two large parties who came yesterday for Christmas Lunch. Everybody in our group commented how nice the food was, and how well we were looked after. An error had been made in pre-ordering the starters and for a moment it looked as if one member of our party might have to miss out, but the day was saved when an extra starter was rustled up at the last moment, even though they were incredibly busy. Well done, thank you and happy Christmas to all at the potting shed!
We popped in Sunday morning and what a Gem of a place. Lovely cooked breakfast and lovely staff.
We came for the bistro night last night. The food was great and the staff were excellent. All very friendly, nothing was too much trouble - the staff are a real credit to your establishment and made it an enjoyable evening. Atmosphere was cosy. Will definitely visit again.
This cafe just gets better and better. The staff food surroundings are all second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and the food is always excellent . From the fantastic Afternoon Tea I had with friends back in July to the simple latte I had yesterday. My husband had a sausage cob too which he devoured in about 5 Seconds.lovely to see they have added a covered outside section- they need it as they just get more and more customers. They deserve all of the praise - would recommend anyone to go to this lovely cafe
The food is amazing. Great atmosphere and excellent value for money. Highly recommended. Vicky it's a fantastic place you run there especially the home made cakes.
Thank you so much my friend loved her afternoon tea for her baby shower such a lovely atmosphere with delicious food.
So for once I was a customer and have finally been able to leave a review!!!! Myself and my friend Jules came for what is now to be a yearly tradition and had a Christmas dinner οΏ½οΏ½
It was absolutely beaut, we both enjoyed every last mouthful!!! It was a lovely experience to see the Potting Shed from a customer viewpoint, friendly staff, amazingly charming warm tearoom...........amazing Christmas decorations obviously. I don't need to tell you all how well you do as it's clear from all your great feedback.......!!!
Top Marks to the Potting Shed!!!!!
You guys ROCK!!!!!! οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½
Saw the Christmas afternoon tea advertised on Facebook so decided to try it out. Itβs a must! Excellent variety of sandwiches and cakes, great little cafe.
Recently went to one of their bistro nights with live entertainment (Johnny.... Who was fabulous) food was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. We all had a wonderful evening and even a good old sing song! Definitely going back. *****
Popped in on two occasions whilst visiting the Equine Vets just up the road. Both times staff were friendly and professional. Food is excellent and freshly cooked. Hopefully no more vet visits for us but if we do happen to come this way again we will definitely be back. Lovely atmosphere too.
My family and I enjoyed afternoon tea on Sunday. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and yummy food. Will be making a return visit οΏ½ x
Music was to loud that is the only bad thing I would say about it .went for coffee and cake could not talk as it was to loud
Lovely food and the biggest hot chocolate we'd ever seen.
Highly recommended.

I won an afternoon tea for me and my family and from the moment we walked in we were made to feel so welcome . The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly they couldn't do enough for us , we will Defo be back thank you so so much for a lovely afternoon xxxx
I visited here recently with family for lunch and drinks. The service was good, food was fresh and very good value for money, the place is clean and it's great that it is located next to Markeaton park. They are child and dog friendly which is great! The prices are reasonable too. I would definitely visit here again soon and will recommend to all my contacts in Derby.
I popped in for coffee, after a dog walk on Markeaton park. Great service and great cake too (chocolate) looking forward to going back again. Dog friendly. οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½
I love going to the Potting Shed, I recommend it to everybody! Such a lovely worm place with good service and amazing cakes <3 <3 <3
I have visited the Potting Shed cafe several times for both drinks and hot and cold food. Everything about this place is perfect - a relaxing atmosphere, lovely decor, comfortable seats, friendly and helpful staff, and truly delicious and well-prepared and presented food and drinks. I highly recommend it for savoury and sweet refreshments. A few months ago, I left my favourite scarf there and they so kindly kept it safe for me.
I have just returned from my sister's 90th Birthday Afternoon Tea for her family. It was excellent; excellent food, excellent service and very pleasant, friendly staff. The family member who organised it said it was perfect and if she lived locally would be a regular visitor. They even calmly arranged an extra table and extra food when unexpected, late arrivals turned up, all done without any fuss. Thank you very much for an afternoon enjoyed by all.
I had a lovely afternoon tea for my birthday with family and friends . Service was brilliant all staff very helpful and friendly, food absolutely delicious great value for money.
Would highly recommend and will be going again thankyou οΏ½x
I am a regular customer of the cafe and love it, but tonight went with my husband and friends to a bistro evening and it was lovely. Our waitress Fern was lovely, friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful and it was a fantastic evening, well worth a visit and we will definitely be back.
Had the club sandwich today and it's the best club sandwich I've ever had! Very tasty and the bread was delish ... which I think I read is from Birds Bakery. The hand cut chips are very nice too. Excellent range of cakes on display and plenty of room around the tables.
Had my work Christmas meal and I have to say, it was excellent! The service was second to none and the food was soo delicious! I had the turkey with all the trimmings and chocolate brownie to finish. The room was festively decorated and cosey which was much needed as it was freezing outside. Would definitely come back again!!!!!
Great place for breakfast, generous helpings on HOT plates οΏ½. Why do so many other places put your hot food on freezing cold plates??!!
Great go coffee after walk in park but we also really enjoyed the Christmas meal great food friendly staff nice live music and good value for money!
Fantastic night with amazing food, this gorgeous little place is a must go
Excellent for coffee & cake, and lunch - only attended one bistro night so far and it was lovely the singer was perfect the food delicious and the staff friendly and discreet. The cafe itself and the setting perfect - thank you for a wonderful night
Called in sometime back and thought the food, drink and service great. Yesterday went with some friends for the Christmas dinner. Very, very nice! Food was lovely and the service excellent. I don't think you could beat it value wise either. Call in and try the place, it won't disappoint!
Called in on Thursday for a coffee οΏ½ and thought how lovely this place is. We'll be back to try the food soon after seeing some of the delicious food we saw being served.
Cappuccino was excellent!
Called for a drink after walking round Markeaton...loved the place so booked a bistro night !! cant wait !!
A huge thankyou to all the staff at The Potting Shed Cafe, after winning the festive afternoon tea for 4 I came in to enjoy the prize today. It was absolutely fantastic, food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. The saxophone player was a great touch and we very much enjoyed it :-) . Will recommend to all my friends οΏ½
Lovely little cafe, with a covered outdoor area where dogs are allowed, even have dog beds for your dogs, had tea and cakes, was very nice indeed! Will definitely be back.
First time we've been only had toast and marmalade as we came for breakfast I don't eat much at this time but will definitely be trying again for lunch or afternoon tea
Bistro night has a great atmosphere, live music and good food. I recommend the lamb shank! A choice of red wine would have been nice. It's lovely to sit outside in the garden centre and smell the summer night.

Well done, thank you and happy Christmas to all at the potting shed!
We popped in Sunday morning and what a Gem of a place. Lovely cooked breakfast and lovely staff.
We came for the bistro night last night. The food was great and the staff were excellent. All very friendly, nothing was too much trouble - the staff are a real credit to your establishment and made it an enjoyable evening. Atmosphere was cosy. Will definitely visit again.
This cafe just gets better and better. The staff food surroundings are all second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and the food is always excellent . From the fantastic Afternoon Tea I had with friends back in July to the simple latte I had yesterday. My husband had a sausage cob too which he devoured in about 5 Seconds.lovely to see they have added a covered outside section- they need it as they just get more and more customers. They deserve all of the praise - would recommend anyone to go to this lovely cafe
The food is amazing. Great atmosphere and excellent value for money. Highly recommended. Vicky it's a fantastic place you run there especially the home made cakes.
Thank you so much my friend loved her afternoon tea for her baby shower such a lovely atmosphere with delicious food.
So for once I was a customer and have finally been able to leave a review!!!! Myself and my friend Jules came for what is now to be a yearly tradition and had a Christmas dinner οΏ½οΏ½
It was absolutely beaut, we both enjoyed every last mouthful!!! It was a lovely experience to see the Potting Shed from a customer viewpoint, friendly staff, amazingly charming warm tearoom...........amazing Christmas decorations obviously. I don't need to tell you all how well you do as it's clear from all your great feedback.......!!!
Top Marks to the Potting Shed!!!!!
You guys ROCK!!!!!! οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½
Saw the Christmas afternoon tea advertised on Facebook so decided to try it out. Itβs a must! Excellent variety of sandwiches and cakes, great little cafe.
Recently went to one of their bistro nights with live entertainment (Johnny.... Who was fabulous) food was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. We all had a wonderful evening and even a good old sing song! Definitely going back. *****
Popped in on two occasions whilst visiting the Equine Vets just up the road. Both times staff were friendly and professional. Food is excellent and freshly cooked. Hopefully no more vet visits for us but if we do happen to come this way again we will definitely be back. Lovely atmosphere too.
My family and I enjoyed afternoon tea on Sunday. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and yummy food. Will be making a return visit οΏ½ x
Music was to loud that is the only bad thing I would say about it .went for coffee and cake could not talk as it was to loud
Lovely food and the biggest hot chocolate we'd ever seen.
Highly recommended.
Just had lunch it was delicious all nice fresh produce we will be back . Would have liked to have come to the bistro night but sadly am at work will look out for the next one
Just got back from a lovely quick lunch. Service from the ladies was friendly as always. Sandwiches were fresh and very tasty. Recommend the beef and horseradish and the cranberry and orange scones
Just got back from a festive afternoon tea - AMAZING !! Highly recommend. All fresh and lashings of tea. Fantastic service from the staff . Thank you οΏ½
I won an afternoon tea for me and my family and from the moment we walked in we were made to feel so welcome . The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly they couldn't do enough for us , we will Defo be back thank you so so much for a lovely afternoon xxxx
I visited here recently with family for lunch and drinks. The service was good, food was fresh and very good value for money, the place is clean and it's great that it is located next to Markeaton park. They are child and dog friendly which is great! The prices are reasonable too. I would definitely visit here again soon and will recommend to all my contacts in Derby.
I popped in for coffee, after a dog walk on Markeaton park. Great service and great cake too (chocolate) looking forward to going back again. Dog friendly. οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½
I love going to the Potting Shed, I recommend it to everybody! Such a lovely worm place with good service and amazing cakes <3 <3 <3
I have visited the Potting Shed cafe several times for both drinks and hot and cold food. Everything about this place is perfect - a relaxing atmosphere, lovely decor, comfortable seats, friendly and helpful staff, and truly delicious and well-prepared and presented food and drinks. I highly recommend it for savoury and sweet refreshments. A few months ago, I left my favourite scarf there and they so kindly kept it safe for me.
I have just returned from my sister's 90th Birthday Afternoon Tea for her family. It was excellent; excellent food, excellent service and very pleasant, friendly staff. The family member who organised it said it was perfect and if she lived locally would be a regular visitor. They even calmly arranged an extra table and extra food when unexpected, late arrivals turned up, all done without any fuss. Thank you very much for an afternoon enjoyed by all.
I had a lovely afternoon tea for my birthday with family and friends . Service was brilliant all staff very helpful and friendly, food absolutely delicious great value for money.
Would highly recommend and will be going again thankyou οΏ½x
I am a regular customer of the cafe and love it, but tonight went with my husband and friends to a bistro evening and it was lovely. Our waitress Fern was lovely, friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful and it was a fantastic evening, well worth a visit and we will definitely be back.
Had the club sandwich today and it's the best club sandwich I've ever had! Very tasty and the bread was delish ... which I think I read is from Birds Bakery. The hand cut chips are very nice too. Excellent range of cakes on display and plenty of room around the tables.
Had my work Christmas meal and I have to say, it was excellent! The service was second to none and the food was soo delicious! I had the turkey with all the trimmings and chocolate brownie to finish. The room was festively decorated and cosey which was much needed as it was freezing outside. Would definitely come back again!!!!!
Great place for breakfast, generous helpings on HOT plates οΏ½. Why do so many other places put your hot food on freezing cold plates??!!
Great go coffee after walk in park but we also really enjoyed the Christmas meal great food friendly staff nice live music and good value for money!
Fantastic night with amazing food, this gorgeous little place is a must go
Excellent for coffee & cake, and lunch - only attended one bistro night so far and it was lovely the singer was perfect the food delicious and the staff friendly and discreet. The cafe itself and the setting perfect - thank you for a wonderful night
Called in sometime back and thought the food, drink and service great. Yesterday went with some friends for the Christmas dinner. Very, very nice! Food was lovely and the service excellent. I don't think you could beat it value wise either. Call in and try the place, it won't disappoint!
Called in on Thursday for a coffee οΏ½ and thought how lovely this place is. We'll be back to try the food soon after seeing some of the delicious food we saw being served.
Cappuccino was excellent!
Called for a drink after walking round Markeaton...loved the place so booked a bistro night !! cant wait !!
A huge thankyou to all the staff at The Potting Shed Cafe, after winning the festive afternoon tea for 4 I came in to enjoy the prize today. It was absolutely fantastic, food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. The saxophone player was a great touch and we very much enjoyed it :-) . Will recommend to all my friends οΏ½
Lovely little cafe, with a covered outdoor area where dogs are allowed, even have dog beds for your dogs, had tea and cakes, was very nice indeed! Will definitely be back.
First time we've been only had toast and marmalade as we came for breakfast I don't eat much at this time but will definitely be trying again for lunch or afternoon tea
Bistro night has a great atmosphere, live music and good food. I recommend the lamb shank! A choice of red wine would have been nice. It's lovely to sit outside in the garden centre and smell the summer night.
You just Couldn't find a friendlier more accommodating place - with a standard of baking and cooking so high. I go as often as I can. A lovely stroll across Derby's Historic Marketon Park to the old Roman Road at Marketon and the garden centre there - ablaze with lights at Christmas. To their CafΓ© - the beautiful newly built Wood and Glass Potting Shed - an Architectural delight - Filled with expertly home Baked Cakes and fine food. Bring a friend an make an afternoon of it - or just take yourself for an hour or two of an afternoon. I love it and the people who run it.
What a lovely hidden gem - cozy and quaint. Great food too with generous helpings and friendly service. Second time and will definitely come again and recommend.
