The atmosphere was lovely and staff.
Value for money for the afternoon tea via itison, I wouldn't be buying it again.
The selection was nice. Unfortunately, the bread was turning hard. Like the sandwiches had been pre-made and sitting for a while. That edges and corners were hard.
Scones were tiny.
Glad we ordered chips with it also. As we were still hungry.
I would go back to the potting shed with the normal menu, but not the afternoon tea. Wouldn't recommend this deal.
Not the best

Felt like the afternoon tea had been frozen and defrosted. Wouldn’t recommend the afternoon tea. However the cakes on display at the bar looked lovely.
Great venue, location & the best staff around

We had a lovely afternoon tea here, the location is great and plenty parking and inside is beautifully decorated. The staff were amazing it was 2 girls who served us and they couldn't have been nicer, we felt very welcome and very relaxed and nothing was a problem for them. Such a good experience as well as the food and drinks in our deal. Would highly recommend this place and will return again. But big shout out to the lovely staff here, it is a rare experience these days so thank you !

We decided to treat my Mum to a High Tea for her birthday at The Potting Shed.
Friendly, welcoming staff greeted us and we sat at one of their many cosy tables.
The staff presented the High Tea with a beautifully personalised platter with a HAPPY BIRTHDAY message written on it and candles also and all sang to my Mum too!! 🤩This totally made her day and was a wonderful touch from their team and very much appreciated!🥳🎂🙌
We thoroughly enjoyed our High Tea Experience and finished it off with some lovely Prosecco! 🥂🍾
The Manager (I think her name was Jordan) checked on us throughout to see if we were needing anything and we complimented her and the teams wonderful and attentive service.
These little personal touches and efforts really make all the difference and the ambiance and attractive setting inside makes it so nice to relax in.
Definitely a lovely experience and we look forward to returning many more times!
Thanks again! 😃👍

Always enjoyed lunch at the potting shed so when the itison came up decided to buy it. Total disappointment, stale sandwiches, frozen cakes (nothing like the cakes available to purchase in the cabinet) uncooked scones (yip you read that right!) then brought a total flat scone back (again nothing like the scones available in the cabinet. We did get asked when we first arrived was it an itison voucher or just si afternoon tea which made us wonder if they had two different ones. Also extra charge for a cappuccino which is also unusual with these vouchers. Would still go for lunch but certainly not this again.

The setting for afternoon tea was lovely and created a nice atmosphere, which made for a pleasant start. I had noted when booking that we were celebrating a 40th birthday, but unfortunately there were no touches to acknowledge the occasion – not even a banner or small gesture, which was a little disappointing.
The food itself was nice, but the portions felt on the small side. The scones were miniature, and as there was only one of each variety, we had to decide between fruit or plain rather than each being able to enjoy both. The cakes were average overall – in particular, the single red velvet slice had to be halved between two people and was very heavy and stodgy rather than light and indulgent.
Overall, the experience was enjoyable but underwhelming in places. A bit more attention to detail and generosity with the portions would have made it feel much more special, especially for a milestone celebration.
Lovely afternoon tea
