The potting shed tea room in Herefordshire, County of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Top drawer breakfast - Everything hot and very tasty all served by a pleasant team of friendly staff. Excellent quality products. Great collection of cakes on offer as well but was too full!

We popped in for lunch and a drink on our way back to Worcester. The food wasn't too bad but pricey for the quality. Whole place seemed to be a shambles....lots of uncleared tables and no forks available to start off with. I know it's a separate business but the toilets need a refurbishment. Won't bother again

Recently visited as part of the Santa visit and really disappointed with the whole experience. - greeted by a member of staff on the phone (although apparently that’s fine) - only 3 high chairs for the entire cafe (apparently we should have pre-booked for a high chair even though they knew we had a 2 year old.. who’d have thought) - no gap comfortable gap between tables - cold food - poor service all round, no cutlery, toddlers drink came out when we’d all finished Despite complaining about this at the event, and via email, Andrew the owner rudely dismissed all of my points and told me a refund wasn’t going to be offered! Although complaining at the venue and via email the same day a refund wasn’t agreed. Would avoid this place.

Lovely helpful friendly staff, the garden center staff could do with the same attitude, we found a woman ignorant about garden plants and generally unhelpful and superior spoke to my mother as if she was a girl in school! Cafe staff a breath of fresh air in comparison!

Great choice of food. Superb coffees. Highly recommend the bacon butty on the wholemeal bread - several rashers of wonderful bacon in ultra fresh bread with or without butter as required. Friendly service.

Travelling past we needed a break so thought we would see what Radway Bridge Garden Centre could offer and we found The Potting She'd Tea Room. A lovely choice from amazing cakes to quiches and meals. The staff were lovely so was the coffee and cake. Defiantly worth a visit. Good value for money.

Just had might oak breakfast. Excellent. Short of staff so service a little slow but otherwise very good

This is a great place to have breakfast and lunch all food is cooked fresh for you. We love having a breakfast here on a weekend.

We've eaten here before at lunchtime, and it was OK but not great. However last week we turned up just after 4.00, and the cafe was closed, in darkness, chairs on tables, bins being cleared. 1) Closing at 4.00 is ridiculously early, when the garden centre is open till 5.30. 2) There is nothing on the main garden centre website, or the signage on site, indicating that the cafe is only open for half of the afternoon. 3) If you go to the specific website section, it lists 4.30 as closing time. On the day we were there that was simply untrue. 4) A garden centre employee told us the cafe is a "separate business". But that isn't made clear anywhere in the signage onsite, or on the website. The same garden centre employee told us there is nowhere else within 3 - 4 miles serving even a coffee after 4 pm. So the cafe is shooting itself in the foot by closing so early. In the absence of any other explanation, I can only assume it's because they can't be bothered serving customers for the second half of the afternoon. Which is OK, because we simply won't bother to go there again.

Popped in on our way to Ledbury. On arrival it looked a little bit run down so ee just expected basic food. We ordered a jacket potato with beans and cheese and a tuna sandwich with two teas. The tea came first and was a lovely blend of loose leaf. The food came next, the tuna sandwich was on hand cut granery bread with inch thick slices and side salad. The jacket potato was a good size and the cheese with the beans was good and sharp and also had a small side salad, it was piping hot to the end. The staff were all very friendly. We will definitely return.

This is a quirky tea room set inside a rather modern garden centre. It has a nice outside space for sunny days. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Scrummy cakes and nice tea served in old fashioned tea cups. Lovely salads - although get there early. Last time went for a late lunch and they seemed to have gone off piste with my plate replacing coleslaw with potatoes etc as they'd obviously run out of some things. But normally it is delightful, so hope it was an off day. I can't recommend the coffee unfortunately - I don't think they understand expresso coffee. Or they need a new coffee machine - not sure which. Definitely worth a visit.

Well worth a visit, the garden centre is a wonderful family owned business and the potting shed serves wonderful homemade breakfasts, lunches and snacks. I would recommend the home made cakes, the Victoria sponge is my particular favourite.

called in for coffee and a teacake.The café was not busy and our coffee arrived in minutes.....not too hot however.We waited about 15 mins for our teacake.While waiting we watched several people wandering in and out of the kitchen area....not kitchen staff I guess.I didn`t considerate this within health and safety guidelines.Maybe extra attention should be focused on hygiene guidelines,

A small group of us called in at lunchtime on Sunday & despite being busy serving Sunday lunches the staff managed to rustle up some huge tasty Doorstep Bacon Sarnies for us hungry cyclists, great little stop off.

Serve the best decaff coffe . we both had carrot cake, tasty topping & cake was moist, fruity & plenty of walnuts. Excellent service, always greet you like your an old friend & remember my foible about double expresso, large cup & jug of hot water. Have eaten a variety of their home baked cakes; quiches; sweet potato. & lentil curry; sausage sandwich, on previous visits & never been disappointed.

Half of the tables were occupied this morning with a staff of four. It was a long wait for my breakfast but tasty when it arrived. The bread was cut from a loaf and nicely fresh.

Busy little cafe has lots to look at, friendly staff (who are often singing away) and gorgeous food. Been here a few times and the cakes are delicious, as are the breakfasts. A lot of thought has gone into ever small detail.

Love this place for coffee and cake. Mains are good too - we had belly pork, and ham egg and chips. Both we're beyond expectations! Nice outdoor seating area too for the warmer days.

We chose to visit this cafe to escape town on a busy Saturday.

Two rashers of bacon; two eggs; one sausage; a large slice of excellent black pudding; a tasty half tomato; open field mushroom; a massive amount of baked beans; a slice of piping hot toast made from excellent bread smothered in butter. All for £7.50, served by nice friendly staff. Coffee also good; a decent range of teas.

Enjoyed a tasty breakfast here, whilst attending a talk on hedgehogs at the garden centre that the cafe is attached to. Lovely breakfast menu, all freshly cooked to order by the friendly staff. Definitely recommend the bacon & french toast option

I took a client here and had never been inside, although had driven past regularly. The staff were very friendly the food was very good, although this would be as a treat if my husband and I went together.

Visit here fairly regularly as we live nearby, we don't always eat but Di always enjoy the tea selection. There is always a lovely selection of imaginative salads, quiches and specials on offer it's often difficult to choose. Add this to the very good garden centre, antiques centre and aquatics centre at the same location it's always an enjoyable couple of hours out.

Called to look around the garden centre and Hereford Antiques.Had lovely americano coffees and home made cake in the small but bijou cafe/restaurant which has an open kitchen for you to see chef at work.Small blackboard specials menu which looked tasty.Friendly service.Toilet which is disabled access.Large car park.

As a vegetarian, if I find somewhere I like, I visit again and again....and again!

This cafe is perfect for a family lunch and an unexpected find! It had a perfect selection of dishes to suit across three generations. All of the dishes are homemade, which I don't think is advertised much, although you can tell by the quality of of the food. The service was lovely, lots of smiling young ladies.

Decided to try the potting shed for coffee and scones. Sat in their outside bit which was pleasant enough. I went to the counter to place our order of two scones, cappuccino and a tea. The cappuccino arrived first, five minutes later the tea arrived followed by the scones a good three minutes later. Very strange way of serving.

Shelley was so welcoming and helpful after I struggled to find a lunch booking for Fathers' Day for five.

We have visited here several times as we live locally. Sometimes we come just for the cafe and sometimes we pop in on the hop while visiting the adjoining garden centre which we love. We have only ever ordered the vegetarian breakfast which has always been delicious. Service and food have been good or we would not have returned so often. I can only imagine that some of the other reviewers have caught them on a very bad day because I can't imagine any of the staff that we've dealt with being rude or off hand. This is a genuine and honest review and believe me when I say that we can be very fussy and don't hesitate to complain when it warrants it. We will definitely be back.

We arrived yesterday, Bank Holiday Monday, just prior to 3:00pm. My partner went to the Ladies to wash her hands, I sat myself at the table adjacent to the Food display, and began to look through Menu situated on the table. We decided on, one Gardeners lunch (ploughman's) and one Spanish Tortilla and salad, which was all on display in the chiller cabinet at the servery. We were abruptly told that only Cakes and drinks were available and that nothing else was available. It all looked very appetising.

Not very impressed,travelled about an hour to try out tea room,didn't fancy a dinner,only a tea cake or crumpet with jam is what we fancied,they could not heat one up or even offer as was half an hour after time they serve these items

Good range of cakes and light snacks served by very polite staff. We sat in covered outside area. Service was a little slow but overall an enjoyable experience.

Lovely home made quiche very tasty. Friendly service. And most importantly our little four legged friend was made welcome and sat on a chair eating her bonio!!!!!

Customers having their cars serviced at the garage, a few hundred yards along the road, are often directed here for lunch, and there is no objection to one sitting here as long as one likes with a coffee or lunch as the case may be. The mains are perhaps marginally less exciting than they used to be, but still good, the staff friendly and helpful, and there is always gluten free as well as other cake on offer. The garden centre itself is a proper one, with some books and gifts at Christmas, but not a furniture store cluttered up with all sorts of bric-a-brac as some of what used to be the better centres sadly have become.

We called in for lunch after having it recommended by a friend. Really good food at a reasonable price. Will definitely call again,

Very pleasantly surprised by the quality and range of food at this garden centre café which was definitely not the usual run of the mill type of café you find at such establishments. Lovely salads and a specials board with lots of variety. Such a shame we had no room for the homemade cakes that were on display. Now I know they do such lovely breakfasts we'll try and get there before 11.30 next time!

A lovely visit here for my partners birthday meal. Absolutely delicious food, fantastic service and a beautiful setting.

Called in for a late lunch on a day out. I was very pleased with the meal and the service. The food was served quickly and was hot and tasty. The coffee was real fresh coffee not instant. Well worth a visit if you are passing.

Found this place on a recent journey and was pleasantly surprised.

this is one of my favourite places to eat and we often make a special trip to eat here. Being fathers day I decided to treat my husband to breakfast there and as usual the food and service were wonderful. We both had the scrambled eggs on toast (mine gluten free). a simple dish but Paul in the kitchen manages to make them an utter pleasure - even the gluten free toast in edible which can't be said about it very often. The portion sizes are very generous and they even manage to make my coffee how I like it (very rare). I cannot recommend eating here enough.

Lovely restaurant/tea rooms. comfortable and relaxed. Interior design very much in keeping, food was lovely. I had Chicken Liver pate, salad garnish, gherkins, 3 slices gluten free toast, plenty of it and ate every crumb. Ann had the Chowder with bread roll and salad garnish. Very reasonable and gr8t value, tasty too.

Popped in for lunch. I think this cafe must be under relatively new management/ownership. It had a really good menu and all the meals I watched served looked fresh and high quality. I had fish cakes and they were excellent - big lumps of fish, herbs, mash etc combined suggesting they were homemade. Salad garnish was also good. Will definitely return. Located in Radway Bridge garden centre, so nice setting. The cafe is comfortable and friendly, and suited to any/everyone. Prices were reasonable and the quality was high.

I was a regular when the potting shed was in Momouth and enjoyed the good food and friendly atmosphere and was gutted to see them go but we went to the new restaurant on sunday and was not disappointed the new premises are lovely, the food is even better and the same great service and friendly atmosphere. In fact I enjoyed it that much that we even booked to go there again this Saturday evening.

we were regulars when the Potting Shed was in Monmouth and couldn't wait to visit the new location when it opened. We loved the Monmouth premises and didn't think they could improve on anything but we were so surprised when we saw the new place. WOW is all I can say.The surrondings are beautiful I could have sat there all day. The food was amazing! We only planned to call in for coffee but were tempted to stop for lunch. The homemade leek and potato soup was delicious, the chicken salad in a honey lemon and thyme dressing was a taste sensation and the chocolate torte a sensual treat. So good we booked to go back next week for my husbands birthday. We will be regular visitors.

As a farmers wife I am fussy about my full english breakfast.As this is English breakfast week thought I would treat myself at The Potting Shed Tea Room.I was pleasantly surprised by the all quality fresh ingredients used to produce a first class breakfast served with excellent friendly service.Could not fault anything.

A very friendly local restaurant serving simple but well cooked food at a very competitive price, well done for an enjoyable experience

Visited again & note that it's under new management [not that i could fault the old one!].

I rarely leave reviews for places but in this case I've had to make an exception. I stopped at The Potting Shed tea room yesterday on my way to Hereford to see what it was like as it's recently changed hands. I love a tea room but you have to go quite a long way to impress me, but impress me they did. The menu was varied and extensive, reasonably priced, offered interesting specials and also served a variety of breakfast options throughout the day. Too early for cakes (sadly) I ordered the breakfast option of French toast with streaky bacon and maple syrup (it had a name involving 'stack', I forget what it was..) and it was delicious...and disappointingly filling as I couldn't fit a cake in all day! Worthy of note too was the tea - loose leaf and locally sourced apparently, it was really good - again, tea is tea but it was a particularly good brew and credit where it's due. The staff were friendly and attentive and the tea room itself nicely decorated. All in all, a good hour of my life not wasted in any way. Thanks very much people and keep up the good work!
