Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the clear draw at The Potting Shed, with reviewers repeatedly praising the "two of everything" option, poached eggs and hash browns swapped in for fried, and the fried potatoes that one regular calls the best part of the meal. Portions come up again and again as generous, and the food is consistently described as freshly cooked, hot and tasty. Close behind the food, diners highlight the setting itself, a garden with plants, trees and flowers, a shop to browse afterward, log burners and a patio heater, and occasional live piano music. Service draws steady praise too, described as friendly and helpful across visits, including during busy periods with large groups. Several reviewers note it gets busy, especially in summer, and suggest booking ahead for breakfast or lunch. No recurring complaints appear across the reviews. One visitor recalls doubting their satnav on the way from Norwich before finding the place, family gatherings for Sunday breakfast, and a shop stop on the way out after finishing a meal.

“I love the potting shed. I go regularly and the food is always lovely. And sometimes treated to live music with a gentleman who plays the piano. It's such a lovely atmosphere”

“We traveled from Norwich to meet family and this place was amazing! At first I decided the satnav had simply took us to the wrong place but trust the experience it’s worth it. …”
