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 πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„

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.

User

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.

User

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!

User

We popped in Sunday morning and what a Gem of a place. Lovely cooked breakfast and lovely staff.

User

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.

User

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

User

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.

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.

User

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.

User

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!!!!!

User

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

User

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.

User

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

User

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.

User

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.

User

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.

User

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!

User

We popped in Sunday morning and what a Gem of a place. Lovely cooked breakfast and lovely staff.

User

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.

User

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

User

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.

User

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

User

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.

User

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.

User

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.

User

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.

User

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!!!!!

User

Great place for breakfast, generous helpings on HOT plates οΏ½. Why do so many other places put your hot food on freezing cold plates??!!
