The Black Shed in Cambridge

Weird place!. Went in to look at the menu with a view to maybe eat there in the coming days. We,ve finished for the day was the ignorant response!, but I only want to look at the menu I said, the young girl then hid behind the counter???. Eventually I was given a menu, by now I had no intention of eating there, god knows what it would have been like!. It could be a gold mine as its situated in an amazing spot, such a shame!.

We visited The Black Shed after reading the reviews , unfortunately our experience was as follows, the service at counter was good and staff seemed friendly and helpful but that’s where it went downhill. The scampi was well overcooked and the chips tasted like cardboard. The person serving the food slammed the plates onto the table without a smile and all the time chewing gum . We know they were busy but this is one sure fire way to lose custom (definitely us). It’s a shame as it’s in the perfect location . Hopefully this was a one off .

Popped in after a lovely visit to the Wetland centre. We were met with a friendly welcome, decided to have some Victoria sponge and coffee, and couldn't resist an irresistible looking pasty (chicken, bacon &leak). How glad I was to be greedy, it was the best pastry on a pasty I have had for some time, the filling was tasty too. As for the cake, homemade generous portion 2 layer filling washed down with a lovely cappuccino. So glad we popped in. Try it before or after visiting the Wetland Centre, which is a much cheaper and tastier option, lovely quiet setting by the canal.

Had a lovely day at the Wetlands Center with the family and had heard good things about The Black Shed so decided to give it ago. Came in for lunch bank holiday Sunday. And what can I say it's like going back to a school lunch room. Childish decor and lunch tables do not do the justice on be beautiful setting along the canal side. As we arrived they had a local band which were thoroughly enjoyable and added a lovely atmosphere, not enough to counteract the general awful state of the place. Mens toilets had a out of use urinal and no hot water. Wife said that the smell of the women's toilets made her feel sick, no spare toilet roll and was generally unclean feeling. Our food came out in dribs and drabs, but was all generally okay. Staff generally looked like they were running around like looneys except for one young lad who seemed to be holding the place together. Well done to him. Went in and toilets shut at quarter to five?! People were queuing to use the one disabled. Bloody ridiculous. Last orders at 5 for the bar even through there were people still sat outside enjoying the bank holiday sun. Generally wouldn't recommend.

A friendly, cafe with good wholesome food. Great views of the canal. Boat rides available from end of the month. Parking next door to the facility.

Had their Sunday carvery and it was excellent. Good portion of tender roast beef and help yourself vegetables. We'll be going back in two weeks for another. Thoroughly recommended.

Had the best cheese toasty ever, really delicious, service was excellent, friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this beautifully situated cafe.

With regards to the previous review from Anita W - I feel as I have to say something in defence of the blackshed and the member of staff. I was actually a customer in the cafe at the same time and In my opinion the lady behind the counter knew exactly what she was talking about, she had enquired if the customer was gluten free or celiac and was attempting to explain that yes she was able to provide a gluten free meal but because of the procedures put in place to protect the customer it would take a little longer. At no time did I feel the member of staff was rude or belittling in fact I would say it was the other way round!! This was my first visit to The blackshed and it won't be my last, i visit the area quite regularly, I experienced friendly service and an excellent breakfast with a hot drink at a fair price. The place was a little gem, with fantastic proper food, knowledgeable and conscientious staff and a super view. Keep up the good work 😁

My friend is gluten free and they advertise gluten free breakfast. She ordered and the cook was behind the counter. Her comments were it’s going to take half hour longer for yours I have to go and the back and strip off and everything. Will have to use a separate fryer two of us will have to cook the meal and so forth. My friend was made to feel very uncomfortable and was totally humiliated. Don’t go there there if you have an allergy she was rude and horrid. My friend had to chose something else as she felt so belittled for goodness sake why advertise you can cater for a customer with allergies if you then kick off when such a guest orders. Would never go there or recommend to anyone disgraceful way to treat guests. I would suggest you remove gluten free dishes from your menu as the cook obviously runs the place and cannot cater for guests with allergies. The chef didn’t know the difference between an glutenallergy and.a dairy intolerance which is scary

Great find, excellent service. Although after breakfast hours after a quick check with the kitchen bacon sandwich’s ordered. Arrived quickly and excellent quality customer service second to none. Great spot overlooking the river. Happy bikers

Popped in for breakfast on our way to the wetlands because we had heard that it was meant to do good breakfast. It does. A good portion size at a decent price, in a lovely location. Outstanding

Two part review 1) Staying in the campsite opposite we were recommended to visit the black shed for breakfast. We were not disappointed. The ‘black shed filler’ for £10 was a beast of a breakfast. The food was hot and fresh and the staff lovely and polite. 2) Whilst we were there we noticed a sign about boat trips up and down the canal. £5 each for roughly 30 mins. The two ladies in charge were an excellent double act, allowing children to have a go at steering the boat whilst giving an in depth and pertinent history of both the vessel and the canal. A very lovely morning out and thoroughly enjoyable breakfast.

We were a family party of 15 through the Saturday Afternoon. It was my Autistic Grandson’ birthday. He was very excited and a little ‘over cooked’ making endless demands of the smiling and very helpful server without being rebuffed or knocked back. The answer was even ‘No we can’t do that’ sometimes and it was accepted ( unusually) - I think due to this patience and friendly demeanour. The welcome and endless patience made a happy event almost stress free for children, parents and grandparents. The food was of good quality and plentiful with swift service at reasonable price but overall it was the kindness that made this an exceptional experience. Thank you.

Fabulous breakfast especially the veggie one. Nicely cooked, good prices. Thick toast and strong Yorkshire tea. Helpful friendly staff. Will return next time we’re in the area.

used to be a great cheap and friendly place. but not so good now. ideal for people who just want to pay a little moor than what its worth, very busy we have been lots of times over the years but its getting worse. Ideal setting for the canal, Freindly enouh staff. so thats a bonus. car park is hard to park in at busy times. and no where else to use instead. Great for lots, but not any good any more fore us

What an amazing location this is and the café certainly lived up to it. Lovely food by some lovely people. Tim was a wonderfully attentive host and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with everything. For once, I wasn't the designated driver so I enjoyed a lovely pint of ice cold lager with my sarnie. I do urge everyone to come here. It's a proper locally run business and i hope they make millions.

We love our visit to the Black Shed today. The food was amazing. Big chunky sandwiches with loads of filling and a gorgeous Jacket potato equally loaded. The staff were friendly, and price point comparable with the area. As its name suggests the building is a Black Shed, and inside does reflect a staff dining room. But that is fine. That is who they are. I would say visit and enjoy.

I’m a regular at the black shed, lovely view brilliant food and excellent staff. I think it’s one of the best places to sit with a cup of coffee or tea and just relax

We visited for Breakfast as a family of four with a dog. The food was quite nice but the place felt dirty and just stuff everywhere, feels like it is but of everything type of place. They were very welcoming and gave our dog a treat but just didn't feel clean enough for a place to eat

Not the first time we've been here and what a lovely place it is, too, although in winter it's probably best to wrap up well. They have a decent selection of food and drink including a licensed bar and the service is great. A special thank you to Tim who was politeness personified. My only gripe was with the cheese sandwich I had. Although it was very tasty, as was the salad accompaniment, it's grated cheese. I know how expensive things are at the moment - I read today that food inflation is running at 17% - but I'd happily pay extra for a slab in my sarnie. Everything else was great. And what a lovely setting. We will be back.

Called in whilst out for a walk after reading reviews. We were very disappointed. The place felt grubby and cluttered. The cafe seemed uncared for and just unwelcoming. Staff seemed clueless and took ages to bring our order. I watched one staff member serving cakes by picking them up in her hand to put in the serving tongs and then take them by hand from the serving tongs to put on the plates! I’m not sure what the thought process was?!? I’m just glad we didn’t have cake. Would not go back again.

Used to be a very good place to eat at the right price. but £5 for a ham sandwich..over the top.prices have shot up here after lockdowns.. shame cause really friendly staff. ok to sit for a beer but thats about all

Our boat ride was the highlight of the grandchildren's visit. The skipper was so kind and friendly and the ice cream afterwards for humans and dogs was very well received.

Great breakfast with friendly staff ,, went to the open mic night , great night had by all , be back soon !!! Reasonable priced food and drinks

We each ordered a dish to meet our preference, three from the 'light' menu and one a sandwich. All the food was of a good standard and the sandwich (my choice the Coronation chicken on granary with side salad) excellent. The young staff were helpful...

Had a lovely breakfast at this quirky cafe, gluten, dairy free, veggie, vegan and dog friendly. Staff really friendly, attentive and helpful. Exactly as it says on the tin, cafe in a black shed, fantastic.

Looking forward to visiting as heard good reviews. Waiting to order at the counter totally ignored by staff who looked as tho they were rushing around even tho the place wasn't exactly heaving. Ordered two teas and two pieces of cake, teas arrived and even...

Decided to try the black shed rather than the nearby pub for a late breakfast. I opted for the full breakfast and my wife had a sausage and egg sandwich. The eggs were the only decent part of the meal for either of us. The...

I visited the Black Shed cafe for lunch followed by a walk along the canal with a friend. Between us we spent about £40 on food and drink. The weather was bad so the cafe and car park were virtually empty. A few days letter...

By the canal, and catching cyclists, fishermen and walkers, a spacious shed serving a good selection of food and drink.

The interior is awful, furniture is like a school canteen, all the walls are different colours, desperately needs to be redecorated. The cakes are tiny, was the smallest slice of flapjack we’ve had out in a while. The Latte was not really a latte, more...

We've been 3 or 4 times and we always enjoy the food. Nothing exceptional, but noting to complain about - simply good food, polite service, good venue, reasonable value. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

We turned to the Black Shed cafe for help when my bike had a flat tyre. Without their assistance and use of Sally's husband's toolbox, I would have been stranded in the countryside. Thanks from two very grateful cyclists!

Maybe we picked a busy day/time, breakfast is advertised as until 11:45 but at 11:30 they stopped taking orders, lunch doesn't start until 12:15, couldn't even get a sandwich, we along with several other groups had to chase up our drinks order as well after...

Had a glorious morning in the sun by the canal. Coffee ok but the full English was absolutely delicious- one of the best I’ve had. You get a hot drink included. Friendly service.

Gorgeous position right on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal by the Patch Bridge. (Has own parking) Really friendly welcome. Lovely coffee.

I've been to the Black Shed many times because it's in a nice location, has lots of space both inside and out. The food is generally good but sometimes the service can be a bit haphazard, sometimes quick when it's busy and slow when not...

ordered gluten free cheese and tomato sandwich. this consisted of 3 small white slices cut into triangles couple of which had a tiny smear of spread on with one thin slice of tomato the second filling was a small teaspoon of grated cheese. When i...

Having a bad experience in the pub just down the road, I wasn't expecting much from a 'cafe', I was pleasantly surprised. We visited a few times, good service each time. I was on my own at one point with my dog, they brought out...

Lovely way to spend a couple of hours , team and skipper very friendly , skippers knowledgable about the canals and surrounding area . If you are very lucky you may get a chance to steer . Value for money ,they also offer a picnic...

A bit disorganized. Waited 35 minutes for drinks. Asked twice and was told we were in the queue. When it was obvious others were being served drinks we asked again and were told someone else had taken our drinks in a mix up.

What a shame as we went last week and it was fine, The service was very poor The waiting staff did not have a clue what they were doing I think they need more training

This is a lovely way to spend a few hours on the canal , friendly team and skipper , very informative if you had a question he seem to know the answer. Good for couples or family’s If your lucky you may be invited to...

We visited the Black Shed as we were staying at the campsite next door. We were hungry and went straight there on arrival. I am coeliac and was impressed by their knowledge and the choice available to me. I went for coronation chicken sandwich which...

At the nearby campsite, so popped in for lunch. Quick initial service- order and pay. Good ploughmans and very tasty homemade scotch egg (black pudding blended in). Sadly the coffees we ordered didn’t arrive while we were eating, so went to the counter to ask....

Awful !!! So disappointing !! All froth no taste , wish I’d had a black coffee !! Lovely setting , nice staff . Avoid the flat whites !!

Lovely lunch here, we had a sandwich, and a lamb pasty. The food was hot and tasty. There is plenty of choice on the menu and also some great cakes. Service was excellent and friendly, nice place to sit outside if you have the weather....

Canal-side diner/cafe offering locally sourced meals. We had a good value breakfast with ingredients from local sources, and it was good.

This is without doubt the best place regular place to eat in Slimbridge. The food is good, inexpensive and the staff are helpful and friendly. They all work so hard as we could see when the England v Germany match was on. Everyone was rushed...

We turned up as a group of cyclists (16 of us zi think). They coped v well and everyone was happy with what they got. From a meal to just a coffee and cake. One of our group (dipstick!) left her credit card and some...

Thank you to The Black Shed for excellent customer care. I had left my credit card and they returned it instantly without even keeping the accompanying cash that I had offered them. We will definitely return to visit their brilliant cafe and I look forward...

We booked a table for 7.30 not realising the football was on at 8, by the time the match kicked off the place was packed with no social distancing between the tables, the food was average but the service was good, the staff were wearing...

Without a doubt I can say it was the worst cappuccino I have ever had , and my mates Latte was equally revolting!

Visited here while staying at The Tudor’s Caravan Site and not impressed at all. The service was not brilliant, staff were not particularly pleasant but what was shocking was the state of the outside eating area when closed. There were dirty napkins on the floor...

Such a lovely place to eat a light lunch. Proper sandwiches that kept us going all afternoon. The setting is lovely. We were so lucky to be able to sit outside and watch the boats on the canal. Good food and lovely friendly staff. Very...

Great place to visit whilst cycling along the Sharpness canal, good food and thatchers gold on tap!!

Food was average at best. Staff member not wearing face covering correctly. Microwaved tomatoes and mushrooms. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect slightly better standards for the price.

What a waste of a perfect location and friendly staff. Poor food, raucous ‘music’ and unimaginative decor. Wake up there. You are throwing away an amazing opportunity. We won’t be back for food for sure.

hi we went when it was eat out to help out and the burgers were lovely,so now being able to go out a bit went to try the burgers again,and not impressed,bun was to big for burger,salad was starting to wilt,so we had 2 burgers...

Lovely cafe, friendly efficient service, good location, relaxed dining with a mixed crowd - bikers, cyclists, families, couples and anything in between. Just a nice friendly spot. Even styled me with a decent gluten free breakfast which wasn't on the menu - I'd have been...

We asked if we could be served, a member of staff said i will find you a table so she managed to get us somewhere to sit, we waited ages, 3 members of staff walked right past us one member seemed to want to chat...

Brilliant breakfast quick service good location and good staff . Bike and canoe hire alongside and great to watch canal bridge letting boats through

An impromptu rain break saw us having coffee and cake. The carrot cake and coffee & walnut were as good as we've ever tasted. Service was very friendly. This is a no nonsense canal side venue with an easy, relaxed vibe. Great stop off along...

A most friendly welcome for a late breakfast. Dog friendly venue. Freshly cooked bacon baps with coffee. Will return for an extensive breakfast and great value.

Due to Covid19 we have not visited the black shed at all this year. We arranged to meet friends for breakfast - the COVID measures put in place - self serve coffee and breakfast with plastic cutlery in polystyrene container - did nothing for the...

Went in today for coffee and cakes. You paid at the counter were given tokens so that you could make a coffee from a machine and the cake was in a paper bag. This cost for us £6.45 for two coffees and one cake. I...

Fuimos a The Black Shed en cuatro ocasiones para un San Miguel y un Lamb & Mint Pasty. . Hermoso lugar para relajarse viendo barcazas, botes y personas en tablas de remo y canoas. . Se han implementado medidas de distanciamiento social, el personal es excelente y servicial, lo recomendaría a cualquiera que experimente el ambiente.

Después de un hermoso y caliente remo por el canal desde Purton, estábamos ansiosos por salir del agua con nuestras canoas y tablas de remo y llegar al banco cubierto de hierba fuera de la cafetería, obviamente habríamos estado quitando nuestras tablas del agua y colocándolas. del camino para que otros también pudieran usar el banco para acceder al agua. Desafortunadamente, nos recibió un miembro del personal muy grosero del lugar de alquiler de canoas que comenzó allí y que no permitió que nadie saliera del canal allí ni siquiera para usar su café.Lamentablemente, parece pensar que ahora es el propietario de todo el tramo del canal y es bastante agresivo con cualquier otro usuario del canal. Emocionamos al otro lado del río y perdiste al menos 60 negocios.

4 de nosotros llamamos hoy en nuestro paseo por el canal para 3 cafés y un jugo de naranja fresco, un trozo de pastel de zanahoria y un delicioso bistec y pudín de riñón.Es difícil dar una revisión justa bajo las restricciones actuales, pero sin duda volveríamos a llamar si aprobáramos.

Whilst out on narrowboat we phoned the black shed who where advertising fish and chip takeaway. But with a family of 5 and some fussy eaters the black shed were excellent and made exactly what we wanted went above and beyond for us thankyou

We went for a walk down the canal with the dog and stopped here for a few beers and to watch the rugby. The staff and all the locals were super friendly, they served good beer and the home scotch eggs were amazing. Very dog friendly.

Brilliant food and atmosphere, the staff are brilliant - this is the place to eat. As c church visit we were treated with loads of respect for 20 of us, we also met from G11 Cam and that's another 20 people. Who are the complainer? Her you have the canal breeding swans on the canal just a step away generally a boat or several. Its designed so you can bring your dogs in, your walking/bicycle/motorbike/running/jogging/and amazingly the children are respected. If you looking for anything better - look hard and far.

Looks great from the outside but effectively a greasy spoon. Too pricey for what you get, average quality and slow service. The staff are lovely but aside from that both the pub over the road and the WWT are better options for food and drinks.

Salí a caminar por el canel con mi familia y cuatro perros y me encontré con este encantador café amigable para perros. Es bueno tener un lugar donde puedas sentarte adentro con tus perros. El personal muy amable, todos tomamos una copa y un pastel. Todos los pasteles eran preciosos y precios razonables. Seguro. Volveremos

Love the Fish & Chip supper meal deal .Bingo nights and Music nights excellent atmosphere is superb or just great for coffee or ice cream Afternoon tea great place .

Basic, but ok. It’s more of a cafe but very welcoming staff. Ordered a baked potato and a sausage and chips. Both were good value and tasted great. Can’t really go wrong and we would go back.

When we visited the restaurant was not particularly busy but it still took 50 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did arrive some bits were cold and some elements had obviously been sitting around for a while. None of it was particularly enjoyable. They say "we do fresh food, not speedy food ". This was snail food and didn't taste or look fresh. This is the second time in two visits that we have waited a long time for food, the previous visit was over an hour. Would only recommend this place for drinks and ice cream and then only because of the location.

The first thing that drew us into this cafe set just along side the canal was the welcoming smiley lady who greeted us as we sat down for a coffee outside. Her welcome was equally as warm when we went inside to order a carvery. We weren't expecting a Michelin star carvery spotting the size of the kitchen but we were gobsmacked when we filled our plates with tender beef, beautifully roasted potatoes and parsnips a great selection of fresh veg together with leeks and cauliflower in sauce. What a find! That they welcome dogs insidebwas the icing on the cake. Well done everyone who makes this a real gem of a place.

lovely position right on the canal...the food great..the home made cakes to die for. The staff are so lovely and friendly.

I'd heard good things about this place and had been looking forward to visiting for a while, but we arrived behind a convoy of tractors which then parked up along the cannal running the view. All of the tractor drivers piled in and there was a queue out of the door that didn't move. To make it even more annoying one of the tractors left its engine running the who time, an annoying clattering din. We gave up and went to the pub across the road.

Mixed feelings really. Inside the cafe is very basic and dated but if the weather is nice it’s a beautiful spot to sit outside (right by canal). I had a cappuccino (served in a mug) and a toasted tea cake (£5.00 for both) which was perfectly nice but prices I felt were quite top end for a cafe. Real butter served with tea cake which was nice. Car park situation put me off so I just parked on the road. I went in a morning and breakfast menu looked good - lots of denominations ie sandwiches, items on toast or build your own breakfast. I’d return on a sunny day to try a proper breakfast.

Ideal place to meet for breakfast on a wet Sunday. Good variety on offer. All freshly cooked and hot.

We were staying at Tudor Caravan park so popped in to the Black Shed for a drink after a lovely walk along the canal. The service was very friendly and the food (Fish and Chips) looked great but we'd had lunch! Sadly we didn't enjoy our bacon sandwich the next morning, the bacon was very fatty, the bread very thick and the coffee tasted like quite weak instant coffee.

We met friends for lunch. Weather stunning. Staff excellent. Food ordered. Arrived well presented. Fresh and generous portions. Great choice of desserts. Good selection of wines. Prices very good. Loved it. Thanks

Great lunch, good beer and a place to watch life, water and boats go by. Great place to unwind for a couple of hours.

When I order good old fish and chips I usually regret it.Oily tasteless fish with greasy soggy batter seems to be becoming the norm. NOT SO at the Black Shed. At almost sixty years young I can truly say that this was the finest battered fish I have tasted. The non-greasy batter made with generous amounts of beer, so I was told, and the tasty fish were a real treat. We stayed at the Tudor Caravan Park opposite especially to catch the live music at 'The Shed' which is on every Friday. The really friendly owner came for a chat at the end of the evening. A blissful location on the edge of the Gloucester Sharpness Canal.

Great location right on the canal bank. Much improved since new owners. First and foremost register your car at reception, car park is monitored to ensure that cars parked are using the cafe and not parking and walking. Choice of meals is varied and of good quality and plentiful. Service is also friendly and with a smile. Enjoy the food and then have a walk up or down the canal. Recommended.

I highly recommend The Black Shed. After a walk along the canal we stopped here for lunch. We chose the freshly made quiche, potatoes, salad and of a cuppa. The meal was a very generous size and absolutely delicious. Staff helpful and friendly. Will definitely go again.

We stopped here mid-way through a ride. It is a very odd place. The breakfast sandwiches were very good though and surprisingly well priced. I had sausage, egg and beans with a cup of tea and it came to less than £4.

Good breakfast plenty of it and fresh at a reasanable price, make sure you register your car registration when you get in to the cafe or you will get a parking fine.

Perfect afternoon sat by the canal watching longboats chugg along feeding swans and eating an enormous delicious piece of homemade cake. Have even spent the past two wednesday evening there with family eating food, which I might add taste better than many meals tasted in the Uk in the last four weeks of my visit here. One Word SCOTCH EGGS made locally, best in the world, if I had a bigger suitcase Id take loads back with me to sweden. Friendliest staff and villagers, a small gem, but well worth the visit. Thankyou Xxx

On Thursday Myself, Mum, Dad and Gran decided to go out for lunch as a small celebration because my Nan will be 92 on Monday! It was a really enjoyable experience. Both Nan and I had a child’s meal (we are not big eaters) which is great value for £5.50 for a main meal, drink of squash and ice cream. Dad had faggots and chips which he really enjoyed but he was a little bit disappointed with how salty the gravy was. Mum had a cheese and ham sandwich. I couldn’t believe how big it was! The setting was lovely, the staff friendly. As I said the only negative was the overly salty gravy and that the main meals arrived together but the sarnie had to be asked for twice before it came to the table about 10 minutes later. The Caramel slice was lovely but my parents found it very sweet. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice lunch.

Nice place to visit and no problems with service and staff who were very polite. I would have given full marks had it not been for the uninviting car park. It was sad to see that a parking control company has the contract to police the car park in this lovely country setting.

This was my second visit to the black shed, after the first visit I swore I'd never go back! Ordered 2 ploughman's a lemonade and a cup of tea £20!! The ploughman's were tiny and the bread roll rock hard.

Visited yesterday at lunchtime with my dog. We sat outside on a picnic bench but could have eaten in the cafe too. Our order came in a reasonable time and was piping hot with generous portions. Scampi in the basket, chicken goujons in the basket and a chicken breast with a jacket potato and salad. No complaints whatsoever and we are fussy! Will definitely visit again soon ...

The title was my husbands comment. He had faggots and we warn you NOT to go there.. He asked for boiled potatoes and then told later they were gone so he asked for mash then they served him chips! I had vegetable lasagne which has won my “worst meal ever” top spot. The sauce was powdery and thin like a cup a soup and the pasta was floury and not cooked. The vegetables were tiny pieces floating in the gross soup and some tasteless floury cheese was sprinkled but not melted on top. Honestly horrible. Not especially cheap either for a ‘shed’ so truly disappointing. A frankly horrible meal and environment. I do not understand why the staff allow the TV on at full blast and why are dogs allowed? Surely unhygienic around food? At our visit there were several present at people tables who were consistently barking very loudly to the point you could not actually think straight. The service was intermittently friendly from some but also a bit angry and shouty from others. I will say the chips were good so if you find yourself there by accident or under duress then this may be your safest bet! Never ever, ever again.

We were moored near this place so used it for coffee and snacks. To start with the total lack of organisation and ability to get an order right was amusing but as it happened again and again was less so.

I hired Wild Goose Lodge (nearby) for my 50th birthday for the weekend and a canal boat from Gloucester Narrowboats who are based here on the Sunday. Throughout the weekend my guests used The Black Shed Cafe as we were self catering and we especially loved the cooked breakfasts. The location is fabulous and friends loved eating here while waving myself and family off on the canal boat.

Have been here several times. Sometimes just for coffee and tea, which is brilliant value compared to what some places charge these days.

Very relaxed informal venue - friendly staff - super food prepared to order with first class ingredients - scenically situated and reasonably priced - what else could you want ? Well done Team Black Shed.
