The Pot Place in Eden

Visited here quite a few times. The food is usually very tasty, well presented and the staff friendly. We must have caught them on an off day today though 🫤 We arrived at 2.50 and found a table. Noticing immediately that hot food was only available until 3.00 my husband went straight to the counter to order, rhyming off the two panini’s, a toasted sandwich and a jacket potato. He was informed there were no more jacket potatoes so I quickly changed my order to a toasted sandwich. By this time it was 2.52 and the lady at the till was not happy. She commented abruptly to my husband that hot food had to be ordered by 3.00, when my husband commented that it was not three yet she glared at him before hollering to the kitchen ‘ Don’t put owt away there’s more food orders’. The food that arrived was slapped together at best, zero point for presentation and my husbands cheese and onion toastie had barely any onion and the cheese had not melted. My parents in law panini’s were okay with proper chunky ham but were beige looking and hardly toasted,my Brie and cranberry toastie was tasty. This same disgruntled member of staff was clearly not happy in her job as she banged and crashed as she cleared tables and muttered and signed under her breath. To be fair, most of the rest of the staff were cheerful and polite but we are our food and made a hasty exit. I don’t think we will be back and if anyone else is going for hot food DO NOT leave it too late or you too stand the risk of public shame, humiliation and sloppy food. P.S The garden centre and gift shops are very good with very helpful and friendly staff.

Cafe/Tea Room. We have been a few times, so quite suprised I’m writing a negative review. It’s always quite busy, they come to take your order, but not today, we had to go to counter. But my complaint is watching whoever she was cleaning the tables, Piled everything onto another table that needed cleared, good thinking, Cleaned the table at a speed if busy must drive her employees nuts, then proceeded to put all the dirty plates cups etc off next table, back onto the table she had just cleaned and wiped down, she cleaned that table , pick up and removed dirty crockery etc and walked off leaving table empty but certainly not cleaned. Maybe needs a helping hand of basic hygiene. Our tea was lukewarm, cake ok. But standard certainly not as it used to be

Lovely little find, delicious coffee and tea and very tasty fruit scones. Staff pleasant. Could do with better signs up (we couldn't see any) to explain which section of cafe allows dogs - we were all settled in then were told to move because we weren't in the right section.

We popped into this garden centre as a break for a drink on route to out holiday. Although it's slightly off 'the beaten track' it's definitely worth finding. The cafe was in the old school room (complete with a desk I remember from my Infants School) and was relatively full, which is always a good indicator. We had coffee and an excellent Cheese Scone. We then had a look around the rest of the Garden Centre which is located around a courtyard area where we found a birthday card- completely inplanned. Definitely recommended

The staff were friendly and helpful, cafe is pleasant and clean. Unfortunately the food on offer is extremely poor for vegetarians. We had gone for lunch but we just got a scone each. The scones and coffee were lovely. The cakes looked good, but it was uncomfortably hot in the cafe so we left.

We stopped here for lunch on our way South. The location is outside the village on the former railway station. The tea room is comfortable with a wide selection of hot food and bakery items. Staff are very friendly and efficient and the place was busy. Highly recommended.

We have been here on a number of occasions for tea and cake. The cakes look and taste great. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. The prices are reasonable as are the price of plants in the adjoining garden centre.

Best scone I have ever tasted! (And I’ve made and eaten a good many!) crisp on the outside, fluffy and cheesy on the inside, a perfect size. Toastie ham was excellent quality too! Well worth a deviation off the M6 between Penrith and Carlisle!

Beautiful lunch, food, service & tea room lovely. Would highly recommend. The quiche was best I've had in a long time.

Oh no what has happened to the Pot Place cafe? Lemon Meringue Pie normally amazing was truly dreadful! Hopefully they were just having an off day.

We chose this as a venue to meet a friend on the way back from our holiday as its close to the motorway. Nice looking little cafe and friendly service except for one person. I asked if there were any vegan options and her reply was ‘lettuce’ and then was begrudgingly told I could have a jacket potato with salad. In the end I had a potato with beans no butter - the only thing on the menu - but it came with a big dollop of coleslaw which I had to scrape off the plate. I’d like to think this wasn’t intentional - mmm! The young woman on the till was very sweet and the woman who brought out our food was lovely. Just the one very rude member of staff who let them down. I won’t return.

Our third visit. Cafe was, as usual, very good. Food super, and priced accordingly. Will certainly visit again.

We was recommended to visit The Pot Place Garden Centre for some lunch and it did not disappoint either of us. I had a lovely sandwich that was prepared fresh to order with a side salad and some fresh homemade coleslaw. We had cakes to go for the rest of our journey which kept us going. Thank you for my delicious homemade sandwich. We will definitely be back.

Stoped by for lunch and was absolutely delicious. We ordered a ham and cheese panini and a egg and cress baguette. It was well presented with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it to all.

Spotted this place from the motorway and decided to call in for lunch, very good tasty lunch menu and the staff were very friendly also nice garden centre and gift shop on site.

We wanted to have a lite bite and were not disappointed! The food (we had sandwiches) were fab and the service was brilliant!! All food made fresh too. Highly recommend!

Been many times, the food is always phenomenal. Great food and fast service, kind staff. Would recommend.

Lovely food great value friendly staff . My friend and I go out every Friday and have found this place to be the nest value for money. Great one stop shop with the garden centre, gift shop and furniture and homeware all on site

A busy place at weekends, tables are well spaced out and we were welcomed nicely. The service was good and the food well presented. The sandwiches were well filled and fresh. There is nothing fancy here but I would be happy to return anytime.

I was looking for a large planter to replant my acer and found a huge choice of lovely pots large enough for the job. The assistant was happy to help me lift it into my car. Excellent service thank you.

Great cake and coffee….the lemon meringue pie was worthy of a special mention. Great little old schoolroom coffee house. Staff were welcoming, location is under some kind of drain disruption…but as said the cake and coffee were first rate. Highly recommended.

The Lemon Meringue Pie is to die for. It just melts in your mouth. Girls do a magnificent job despite being run off their feet. Well worth a visit for plants also.

Stopped for a coffee and a cake whilst travelling up the M6. It’s about 10 mins off the motorway and we’ll worth visiting. The service was excellent and choice of cakes was very good.

Lovely cafe food. Everything you would expect. Great puds and good selection of drinks. Staff polite and engaging. Easy to access and plenty of parking. All in all great.

Whilst visiting the area, we called at the Pot Place on several occasions and visited the tea rooms. Greeted by friendly staff, and directed to a freshly sanitized table. Social distancing was excellent, and hand sanitizers everywhere. Food is superb and well presented and prices...

What a great find! The sandwiches were very deep filled on nice fresh bread and decent side salad. The side of chips were hot crispy and delicious. A good selection of homemade cakes and scones is on offer with very generous portion sizes. Very yummy!...

Often pop in as we live locally, traditional garden centre, but also gift shop and fresh produce for sale, excellent furniture shop too, and of course the cafe serving delicious food.

We called in here with an hour to kill, and were really impressed with the quality of plants and prices. There is also a furniture shop which we didn’t go into. We had an excellent coffee and delicious cheese scone in the cafe. The service...

In need of food and rest we dropped in. Great food served by a very lovely staff. When refreshed we wandered around. Great plants, garden ornaments and gifts. If you're in the area, it's a must!!!!

Me and my partner visit the Pot Place regularly - usually a saturday lunch time when we are both off work. There is a great menu with lots of choice and always lots of specials on the blackboard! Whatever you do choose, you can guarantee...

So worth every penny, the cakes were to die for , the savouries were delicious. Staff were lovely and so helpful, everything was freshly cooked and we took a huge doggie bag home as it was so filling. Wonderful tasty and homemade to perfection

Ha estado dos veces en el último mes. Definitivamente lo recomendaría para comidas cocinadas o bocadillos como sándwiches o paninis. Tuve las patatas fritas y ensalada de quiche que estaba delicioso. Se sentó en la sala de la escuela que era amplio y luminoso. El servicio fue rápido y amistoso. Ojalá hubiera estado antes. Tienes que probarlo.

For good cafe food you can't beat this place - always good - baked potatoes, scampi and chips, chicken goujons are favourites and lemon meringue pie to die for.

Siempre me ha gustado este lugar para macetas, plantas, muebles, nombres y el viernes finalmente probé la comida. Fue fabuloso, el lugar está muy bien cuidado y el personal muy atento. Lástima que no tuve espacio para el merengue de limón, ¡sin duda volveré a intentarlo!

Really great sandwiches . Nice varied menu. Extremely polite and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. A real gem

Sat outside on a sunny day. Food simple and very well done. Prices reasonable. Friendly professional staff. An all round pleasent experience, will return.

Visited for lunch with my children, the food was delicious and enjoyed by us all, some different ideas on the menu which were very nice. Just a shame we didn’t have any room left for cake afterwards as they all looked delicious.

Travelling north on old A6 to Carlisle spotted a sign for this café/garden centre so stopped for lunch We both had a wrap and a drink and it was excellent lovely staff it made lunch a real pleasure.

Love popping in here when we are heading up or down the A6 only 2 minutes off the main road. New separate eating area now means there is a lot more room. The cakes are a must try!!!

Excellent selection of garden supplies Lots of composts many peat free locally produced and reasonable prices. Good selection of seed potatoes and onion sets Good quality plants

No suelo escribir reseñas pero nuestra visita a The Pot Place fue muy agradable, pensé que valía la pena el esfuerzo de revisar. Salimos a leer los regalos de Navidad y echamos un vistazo a algunos de los arbustos y árboles maduros disponibles.

La primera visita aquí para el almuerzo del domingo no nos decepcionó, la carne se derritió en su boca, las hermosas patatas asadas y las verduras se cocinaron a la perfección. Los dulces se veían deliciosos pero estábamos demasiado llenos para tener uno. El personal era encantador y amable. Volveremos. gracias

Ideal para una parada por la tarde. Gran variedad de comidas y bebidas. Hecho en casa y atención definitiva a los detalles. Siempre se lo recomiendo a mis amigos, ya que también hay una tienda de regalos en el centro de jardinería y una sala de exposiciones de roble de Cumbria en el camino. ¡Brillante! ! Definitivamente regresaré antes de Navidad para mis compras.

We love this place. Excellent food and service. Sweets and cakes are gorgeous. Dogs are welcomed too.

Visitamos a un cliente habitual de 89 años, que vive cerca, y nos quedamos encantados con el servicio, la ubicación, las opciones de menú y los precios modestos. Las porciones para niños están disponibles para niños y adultos.

We went for lunch and the food was really good, plenty of it and the choices on offer was great. After the meal you can have browse around the garden centre which has a lot on offer.

A colleague of my husbands recommended The Pot Place for a good Sunday lunch, but advised you need to book. So we did and we weren't disappointed. The reserved tables all had either a piece of fruit or a vegetable instead of numbers - I liked that it was quirky. We had booked the Roast and it was checked if we wanted the full or half roast apart from that we had no infirmation. We sat down overlooking a greenhouse, it was very pleasant. The meal when it arrived was enormous, very tasty and piping hot. The only thing that wasnt to our taste were the roast potatoes, we have had better. Overall very good and real value for money. We will be passing on the recommendations.

The tearooms are located in a complex of an oak furniture store, garden centre and gift shop. Made a second visit to the place after a couple of years. Food is wholesome, varied and is home-made with enough TLC to differentiate it from less sociable establishments. The clientele is regular and loyal and has made an effort to travel here. Staff are good-humoured, efficient and friendly. Would recommend highly. A bonus is the long view of Anglo-Scottish expresses racing stealthily and relatively quietly past.

We have visited this cafe a couple of times, had the Sausage panini's on our first trip, they were very nice. On our latest visit just had time for cakes with hot drinks, again evrything was nice. The layout of the premises at the kitchen end seems a bit odd with the waitresses carrying food out and plates back into the kitchen through the queue waiting to order at the counter - this may be unavoidable due to the shape of the building. Still think it's a canny spot and will return.

There are lots - a great selection - of pots, square and round and all sizes, including really big (and heavy). Also garden sundries like compost and seeds and of course a selection of plants. the cafe is down to earth and has great snacks and meals

There's not much wrong here but nothing is particularly right either. The definition of average, which in the UK is not great.

Had lunch yesterday with 3 friend. Lovely food and staff, great puddings! loads of pots, but then there would be.......!

Service good and friendly. Had homemade quiche with salad and chips, the quiche was delicious. The only downside was we had no room for any if the lovely cakes! Would return.

We visited for plants ended up with coffee and apple pie. Coffee is ok. The cafe is all right but the apple pie is excellent. As good as my mum’s. What greater compliment can you give?

Tucked away down a lane in this pretty Hamlet on the A6, this is a garden centre with hidden charms.

A really nice Garden Centre with helpful friendly staff in all areas and so nicely set out so you won't get wet on a rainy day!

Mid week lunch, friendly staff, good service, nice surroundings, combines my passion for gardens and cake! The farm shop was also very interesting will visit again.

Having last been her over two years ago I called again looking for garden items as the area is somewhat lacking in good, independent garden centres and several others still left look tired and untidy BUT this place, The Pot Place, was an exceptionally pleasant surprise. Great range of goods, fair prices and all set out neatly and tidily which makes me feel that everyone cares and I said so to a member of staff who seemed pleased with the remark. Worth a look and will make you glad you did.

Popped in for morning coffee- pleasant surroundings, cheerful and prompt service and fabulous, huge pieces of cake. Just the thing!

Visited today for lunch we had toasted sandwich and a slice of cake. All was ok but not anything out of the ordinary however together with walking around the garden centre it was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

I went to The Pot Place for afternoon tea for my birthday 2 days ago. Absolutely amazing! great choice of both savoury which included sandwiches quiche sausage rolls and a cheese scone served on a plate. On a lovely 3 tier cake stand we had a selection of cakes and a cream scone, plus lots of tea and coffee. Have to say we had to ask for a box to take some home. The whole tea was beautiful.

This was a lovely find. Had an all day breakfast on the way out from our holiday cottage in Calthwaite and then called for coffee and cake on the way back. I think we may be back again. Food is well presented and staff are very friendly. The garden centre and outlets attached are well worth an hour of your time to look around. If your looking for pots, plants or furniture you're in for a treat. Haven't seen my old man so animated in years. Thank you x

We have made two visits here this week... stopped off for tea and cake both times. Lovely friendly staff in the cafe and garden centre. Tasty cakes and scones.

Treated my mum for her birthday to afternoon tea. Absolutely amazing! Brilliant choice and lots of food! Lovely staff too! Better than afternoon tea at fancy hotels that we've had. Would definitely recommend

Me and a couple of friends went for lunch and a wander around.

This a little gem of a place. Lovely plants and ofcourse pots with all sorts of garden things. Also two lovely shops to browse round. Big plus is the lovely cafe serving all sorts of good food Cheese scones are a must try.

I visited here recently for brunch. The menu was varied and very tempting but I decided to go for the cooked breakfast which was delicious. A lovely selection of good quality food. I didn't have a cake or a scone but they looked amazing and absolutely huge.The staff were friendly and the food arrived swiftly.There are a couple of small greenhouses with plants, lots of lovely garden pots on display. There is a gift shop and also a furniture showroom selling oak furniture.I would recommend a visit here and I know the next time I am in Cumbria I will be revisting

We have regularly visited the restaurant and enjoyed our reasonably priced food. We are now put off by the extremely poor sliced bread and poor bread rolls, which all taste appalling. We probably will change our eating venue because of this unless this situation changes. I hope they take this in the spirit it is intended and get some decent bread in future.

This is a real little gem. Great garden centre with some really unusual pots etc., a lovely little restaurant with a small menu of food and drinks (all very nice), lovely independent shops where you can buy something small or large you may not see elsewhere and Cumbria Oak furniture. The furniture is well presented in a large area and a very helpful assistant.Lovely spot for all the family.

We visited for coffee and later for lunch.Scone very good and recommend their scrambled eggs.Has outside tables but not obviously so as they have price tags on them.Not many places nearby to eat, so worth calling in if you're in the area.

We have been here before and neglected to leave a review so I want to make amends now. We have always really enjoyed our meals which have been well prepared and presented and tasty.We stopped here for lunch a couple of days ago and once again had good food. My wife had a very tasty cheese and onion quiche which came with a side salad and chips, she said that she really enjoyed it. I decided on a breakfast but specified just the eggs, sausages and hash browns all of which were very good. To make good, better the prices were reasonable.Certainly a good place to stop for good food and an enjoyable wander around the garden centre and shops.Recommended.

A good place for a catch up with an old friend or a group , a really social place, great cakes & good selection of drinks,specials for lunch are good or have a panini, toasty, or sandwich, well worth a visit if your in the area

I highly recommend not to take away food. I only live 5 minutes down the road and as I got home the chips were soggy. I ordered a cheese and tuna panini but instead was given a cheese bacon and tuna panini with a chili like jam. Didn't even taste it because it looked so bad. The salad that was underneath the panini made it soggy so it was a total waste... wouldn't give it to my dog let alone myself. Can't fault the staff they were very pleasant but the food was just not up to standard.

This garden centre, cafe and furniture showroom is expanding so quickly they have renovated an old schoolroom which is where we had our afternoon tea Most of us probably had our early lessons in such a room so we felt quite comfortable staring at the old blackboardOne of the owners is a potter/ceramist and filled us in on their expansion plans They have very large pots which you will not find in the 'supermarket' chains and come from Poland, Vietnam and ThailandThe plant choice is extensive and you can also buy cards and small gifts, garden implements and kitchenalia along with sheds and polytunnels I had a wander in the Oak furniture outlet and they have some lovely oak tables/chairs, lounge and bedroom units and a great choice of rugsWe actually went yesterday for an afternoon tea which was around £15 which seems to be the going rate around us It was a lovely spread and there was plenty; so much that we all took doggie bags home There were sandwiches, sausage rolls, quiches, scones with jam and cream ,and a varied number of cakes Our friend had a gluten free plate to herself The staff are excellent and very friendly and accommodating Plenty of parking and very willing to help and give advice We bought a large pot recently , brought it home and realised , before we lifted it out of the boot, that there was a crack They changed it without a questionIt is very close to the M6 junction 41 but if you want large pots you'll never get them in your boot!The cafe is also good for coffee and scones and there is a good choice for lunch Well worth a visit if you haven't found it yet

The garden centre has been developed over the past few years and is now pretty good. The cafe is basic food well done. Certainly very busy with the local people for Sunday lunch

I have been here many times before and have always had a lovely meal and this last time was no exception. I went with my two sisters for an afternoon tea on Monday and we were not disappointed, the choice was fabulous. There was quiche, cheese scones a lovely selection of sandwiches and crisps and this was followed by a beautiful selection of cakes, scones and tray bakes not forgetting mint fondant creams and fererro Roche chocolates. As much tea as you could drink finished off the meal. It was fantastic and my sisters were very impressed with the food and felt it was definitely value for money at £14.95 a head. Can highly recommend this cafe but you must pre order the afternoon tea the day before as it's all made to order. Will definitely be returning again.

I visited this place in January of 2017, and choose the all day breakfast which was delicious, the level of service was excellent and the food was of the same level and I would go there again when the chance comes as it was one of the better places to visit on a cold January day.I would throughly recommend this cafe to anyone who is travelling between Carslile and Penrith as it's well worth a visit.

A great little garden centre, restaurant and furniture showroom situated a few miles from the lovely market town of Penrith. Friendly and knowledgeable staff help you decide on the right purchase. Large car park and dog friendly business which allows you to walk your dog on a leader around their garden centre. My visit was on a Sunday , unfortunately as the restaurant was so busy with Sunday lunches I was unable to sample the delicious food on offer. Top tip - Book in advance for Sunday lunch or visit mid week when it's reported not to be less busy. The good news is they are building a new tea room which will allow visitors who do not want a Sunday Lunch to have tea and cake. This is clearly a garden centre well worth visiting along with the charming market town of Penrith with its wonderful shops. Top tip - Make time to visit the Cumbrian Food Hall on Ullswater Road and only a few miles from the Pot Place. All in all, a great way to see and sample the delights of Cumbria.

We went to visit the furniture show room and decided to get a drink then after going inside and seeing the food on offer we decided to have a light lunch. We had a coronation chicken sandwich which came with a small salad and crisps, the other 2 had a cheese scone with soup with was very filling the scones were very light and obviously been freshly cooked. The Sunday lunch looked good and the way out passed us. I would think that to guarantee a table for lunch you perhaps should book a table.

Un meganegozio che vende cose per il giardino apre una tea room dove sembrano farti un favore ed un gift shop con cose dozzinali. Non lo consiglio anche perchè è pure caro.

Just got home from lovely day out in sunshine called in at pot place for Sunday lunch. Beautifully cooked roast beef roast potatoes slow cooked to perfection. Must get half portion next time can't eat 2 Yorkshire puddings or 2 roast potatoes. Sweets lovely. Book and go. Sandwiches wraps and everything we saw being saved looked delicious.

I can honestly say this is a little gem of a place. When I visited it was busy and I can understand why. The homemade soup was delicious and the panini was just as nice. The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much for them. Will certainly visit again when back up in the area.

The Pot place sells Plants, Pots of every kind, garden ornaments, garden tools. There is also a Gift shop and a LOVELY Cafe that specialises in unusual cakes and scones.They also have a varied menu for lunches. Staff are always welcoming and helpful.

Visited here once again had an all day breakfast it was magnificent when we arrived there were 2 couples in within half an hour the place was full. My advice would be book in advance if you can this is a very popular cafe.

Myself and my mum went as a treat and it was lovely! We booked for afternoon tea, it was the nicest afternoon tea we have had. We have visited other places (hotels etc.) that do afternoon tea before and none can compare to this! It was so lovely. A lovely, relaxed vibe too. Would definitely recommend to everyone. For the price, it is a definite must. Loads for your money! Cannot wait to return and have Sunday lunch too as heard good things about this too.

we only had a scone and cup of tea but looking at the menu there was a good selection of meals from sandwiches jacket potato and other meals

Love The Pot Place at Plumpton. All homemade food served by friendly staff. Very clean nice place for a coffee and a catch up with friends. Looking forward to seeing the kitchen extention and to see how the new seating area goes in the summer.

Eaten here on quite a few occasions over the past year and a half when visiting the Cumbrian Oak furniture shop opposite. The ladies who run the place are always pleasant and efficient. The food is good quality and well presented with generous portions. The cakes are very very good!

More and more garden centres have just become impersonal shopping centres charging ridiculous prices. It's so nice to come across small centres where the owner puts personal care into everything. I doubt there is a better range of pots anywhere from small to huge in all shapes and colours and at reasonable prices. A great little coffee shop with lots of genuine home made cakes an goodies. BUT, the cherry on the cake is the Santa's Grotto. I took my 4 year old grandson at the weekend, it was magical. He was met by an Elf, escorted through the Christmas tree forest which was beautifully lit, up to the Grotto where another Elf took him inside to meet Santa who gave him at least 5 minutes of personal time. He came away with a goodie bag full of sweets and other nice bits and pieces all for £3. Well done the Pot Shop

Well what can I say about this find,we have travelled loads of times on the M6 and saw this garden centre but today we were peckish And thought we would give it a try.It was so we'll sign posted you can not possibly get lost.And when you enter the old staition masters house the staff were all so happy and cheerful and the food will not disappoint .You may not think you don't have time to pull off the M6 but please do you will not be disappointed and as well as the cafe the gift shop .Thank you again for staff that found my bag.And will be returning.

More great food excellent service a really enjoyable visit.I always make the effort to visit here when in the area this is a restaurant not to be missed.

If you are looking for something for your garden then visit The Pot Place. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the prices are excellent. There is also a very nice cafe so treat yourself to a cuppa and a cake.

Passed here a few times when travelling down the M6. Decided to travel down especially to see what we were missing. Nothing special very similar to other places we have visited like this. Not a lot of choice and expensive. Decided as it was nearly lunchtime we would go into the tea room for a little snack. Seemed to be a nice choice of food and home bakes we decided on a wrap unfortunately overpriced for the actual contents, a couple of pieces of chicken nuggets and some lettuce with a squirt of chilli sauce that was all in the bottom of wrap hence it was extremely hot.

The Pot Place is not as easy to get to as other local bigger Garden Centers, and the name didn't indicate plants. However, believe me, there is a good range of plants aswell as pots. The price range seems the same as most ranging from " cor, that's cheap !" to " What !!".Well worth a visit for ideas, purchases and advice from knowledgable staff .

'Tried' to have a family lunch here, Sunday 17 July at 12.35. Sat down at the only table in the place that didn't have a reserved card on it. Looked at the menu and caught the attention of a waitress as we weren't sure whether to order at the counter or if they took the orders at the table. She look at us and said that table is reserved at 1pm. We informed her that there had been nothing on it to say so, she turned round and leaned over to another table where there were two reserved cards and put one of them on ours, we looked at her in disbelief, she repeated again yes it's reserved at 1pm at which point all 5 of us got up and said we'd eat elsewhere, approx £30-40 lost, very unimpressed, we won't be back!

We were returning home to lancashire from a holiday in Fife, Scotland on Wednesday and we noticed from the M6 a sign on a building advertising the Pot place cafe so we took the next exit and followed the signs for the cafe. It is a lovely former station masters house converted into a cafe serving lovely home made food, also seating outside and also in a summerhouse surrounded by plants, greenhouses and lovely shop. My husband is keen on trains and enjoyed his lunch whilst the mainline trains passed. We ordered soup and cheese scones which were lovely. An ideal place to pop in, it will be a regular stop for us in future.
