After a ride out to Wisbech I noticed this place on the map. No need to queue even though they were busy. 2 Lattes arrived shortly before our Number 2 breakfasts. We'll cooked and good ingredients. Good sized portions Friendly staff and a great atmosphere which looks like quite a popular event venue.

Great evening with Maggie, Aimi & Lucy at The Potting Shed last night. Fabulous food, nice warm welcome (and fires!). Always feels special being here. Highly recommended - if this place was in London, you would need to book months in advance. Ps: The breakfasts here are superb too.

I was taken here by a friend and we had a lovely lunch and catch up. I had no idea it was there until she offered to take me there. It was fab, great menu I had pork belly and my friend had a fabulous plate of fish and chips. I hope to return with my husband at some point. Great idea and place if you can find it! SSH it’s a secret!

Breakfasted here for the first time recently and it was very good indeed. I had the two-of-everything option with poached eggs instead of fried and hash browns instead of fried sliced potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly, tasty and nice and hot. I will definitely be returning.
