Excellent 'Full English' - the sausage was especially good, as were the scrambled eggs. One friend is gluten free and there was plenty for her to choose. Wait staff were very friendly and they accommodated my mobility scooter. Not cheap but not overpriced either. Will be back again

Layla was our host for my mums birthday on a very last minute walk in service, we were blown away by her incredible service. We didn’t book but they managed to sit us down, give my mum a birthday banner and give us the best service whilst operating a fully booked cafe! The food is unbeatable and we wouldn’t go anywhere else- huge shout out to Layla, Danielle, Julie and the incredible chefs Ollie and Iain for making my mums day so fab. You MUST go here!

This is a really lovely cafe, one of my favourites in St Alban's. The atmosphere is cosy yet spacious and the serving staff are amongst the friendliest I've come across. It's not a cheap place for lunch, but the food is always delicious and beautifully presented.

Always great food, service & ambience. On my doorstep so visit here frequently & love their breakfast/brunch. Visited today for a post birthday lunch with friends & was not disappointed. The only gripe I have is that the place is now cashless. Many people may prefer this but cash is still very important for many people & it is disappointing that a local family run business is following along the lines of corporate chains in being card only payment. We wanted to leave a tip for the staff who were wonderful as always but were told this could not be added to the bill. Fortunately we had some cash with us, but clearly not everyone will do & the wonderful staff will be the ones who miss out on earning a little extra from happy customers!

We didn’t book, just turned up on a Saturday lunchtime and they squeezed us in. Brunch menu crossed over with lunch so lots of choice. Pancakes were delicious. No rush to get us out, despite being busy. Lovely shop with lots of gifts. Plenty of parking. All the staff were really friendly too.

To whom it may concern, I came today (27/07/23) at the potting shed cafe in St Albans for have a vegetarian Breakfast. The food was delicious and it was a big plate and it was quality value. I was served by a waitress named Leyland who work only for 4 months only in the cafe but I learnt that she has 24 years of experience in the hospitality field. She was absolutely a brand ambassador for the company she work within. She was professional,productive,proactive extremely efficient and had a smile everytime she came to my table to ask if everything was fine. I had a lovely experience with her. She made me feel as a valued customer. She made my day. Thanks. 8998888888888888888888888888 Best Regards. Miss Sandrine Kuentz Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

I arrived at 310pm knowing I was in good time (closes 430pm) for tea and cake. Immediately told “you can only have coffee and cake” by the waitress. At 340 someone else came up to me to ask “do you want another drink because we’re closing the machine down”. Erm no not when you put it like that thanks. My bill was placed on my table at 345pm. I ignored it as I was working & had lots of time but it irritated me being so rushed. At 355 the manager stood over me with her card machine and waited for payment! My stuff was also then all cleared away. The staff then proceeded to clean the floor/mop around the tables! I was by no means the only one in there and several tables were also outside. Why the rush? Fair enough to close the door to new arrivals at a certain point but look after your existing paying customers. Sadly I won’t be back any time soon.

My family and I had lunch recently. The cafe was very busy, just about every table was full. We ordered drinks and a meal each. One of my family likes very weak tea and asked if they could have a small jug of hot water. we were told there would be an extra charge for the hot water, we initially thought the waitress was joking, she then looked embarrassed and said they make an additional charge for hot water! We were shocked that the cafe felt the need to charge for hot water especially considering the amount we had spent. We all felt the cafe were being very short sighted and rather greedy in making this charge. Yes, the cost of electricity has increased, but “really” do they feel the need to charge for hot water. The cafe was very busy when we visited so clearly the cafe is “successful”. I will say the food was tasty and the staff very friendly. I would have marked the review much higher had it not been for the cafe making a charge for hot water.

Visited The Potting Shed for breakfast with friends. Busy but not crowded. Tables well spaced. Small menu but a good varied selection to choose from. Had a hotel breakfast room atmosphere. The breakfast was well presented and was delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive. We were served by a young lady called Leyla. She was very funny and made our breakfast a more enjoyable experience. We paid by card and tried to add tip but they only accept tips in cash & as we don’t carry cash any more we were disappointed that we could not leave a tip. We will take cash with us on our next visit which will be very soon. Maybe the management should allow tips to be added to the bill and payable by card. To conclude, we all enjoyed our breakfast and would recommend The Potting Shed as a relaxed breakfast venue Fret eating we also visited the garden centre & farm shop.

We were a 3 with my husband and his elderly mother and the staff could not have been nicer. They were helpful with extras and changes to our chosen meals and did not hurry us out after we had eaten. Only slight thing to bear...

I have a wheat allergy, so phoned ahead to check if they catered for gluten free. They answered the phone straight away, were really helpful and confirmed they could cater. We also had a dog with us, they said it was absolutely fine. The food...

My husband and I went for breakfast this morning. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, as was the tea and coffee. Will definitely be going back.

I quite often meet friends here for breakfast, coffee or lunch and, having coeliac disease, am always delighted by the range and number of tasty dishes on the menu that are either already gluten-free or can be made g/f, seemingly without any bother.

The Fleetville Larderlocation-icon129 Hatfield RoadOther cuisines

The food is delicious and the options are great, but the owner always seems grumpy. I’ve unfortunately never known him to be friendly although I do understand it’s a stressful business. Nevertheless, a smile to a customer goes a long way - with that and great food, the custom will grow! I don’t think I’ll go back. There are quite a few friendly cafés around.

Fabulous little wine bar in St Albans. They have many wines by the glass so is a great place to try some good quality wines. We also ate and had some small plates to share and they were also excellent Will definitely be back
