"Was looking for somewhere who did a good tasting, value for money breakfast on a weekend and decided to try this place out. They have a breakfast buffet where you pick 6 items for around £7.50. I picked my items and the staff member put a lid over the food to try and keep it warm however it is too small for the plates they use.The queue for hot drinks was ridiculously long as the 'baristas ' prepared coffees for everyone, they really need a better system here! Once paid and trying to get condiments, there are no small containers to pump the ketchup in to so I had to pump it directly on to the plate and with the ill fitting lid, this rim then became covered in ketchup (which then meant the table got covered when I took it off and set it down).The bacon and eggs were stone cold to eat. I tried persevering but then decided there 's no point moaning if you aren 't going to do something about it so I went back up to the counter and was ignored for around 2 minutes whilst staff chatted and cleaned up around the sandwich counter. A tall older gentleman came out the kitchen to replenish the breakfast buffet and I raised my quibble with him, expecting to either receive a replacement or refund. However he just said thanks for the information and went about his taskWhen I sat down again, another customer came over and asked if I had moaned about the cold breakfast as they had the same and said it was frankly disgusting. When i confirmed this, she went to the counter and demanded to speak to a manager. I heard her saying that we also had cold breakfast but the manager only processed a refund for them and they left to go elsewhere for breakfast.I gave the staff opportunity to correct the issue but they didn 't reheat, replace or refund our order therefore we will not be returning"

Tables are nicely spaced out. The food was tasty but a bit pricey (garden centres usually are though). The staff were nice. It was a little confusing where to order and pay, this could have been better. Good menu choices. Would go back.

Had our coffee here before going shopping. The Covid procedure was faultless. We both had flat white coffees and shared a custard cream and a slice of banana chocolate cake. Coffee were good but would have liked them a little stronger, both cakes were excellent proper home bakes.Service was really good.

Visited here on Saturday 7th December for lunch. Restaurant very busy with couples, friends and families-queuing down the stairs. I decided to have rhe turkey dinner which was delicious-what a plateful for only £9.it-the same elsewhere would have cost a lot more. Can totally recommend restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Breakfast today was absolutely dire. Dried up but yet still swimming in grease bacon, stone cold fried egg (replaced by another stone cold fried egg) tepid sausage, beans and hash brown. The only edible item was the croissant. Very poor value for just shy of a tenner. The whole process of queuing with your already cold food and then waiting for tea/coffee to be made is just awful. Will not be returning and definitely will not recommend.

Came for afternoon tea and was extremely impressed with how organised they are. A lady was at a table at the top of the stairs-we sanitised our hands and filled out a slip for track and trace. We were given a ticket with our table number on it and told where our table was. It was clearly explained to us. Coffee/Tea and cakes lovely and after we finished a lady came to clean the table and said goodbye.It was such a relaxing experience. 10/10 for our visit-thankyou.

my auntie was in their cafe and after a few coffees and a yap, she went to her car to find out that 10 extra minutes had just cost her exactly 100 fu#*ing gbp. That's correct, a hunder quid, one hundred smackeroos, just found out today, never going here again. I fail to understand the insane fee, i mean wtf. That's the price you pay for choosing this place while failing to keep your wits about you, she must have thought she could get away with relaxing with her pal, forgetting her worries, ha she must have been off her rocker. Btw my review stands as i was here that very day, that very time, turned out to be a little out my willing price range. £100

Had high hopes of my lunch out here but sadly no! Ordered a panini, portion size on the mean side for the price in comparison to other comparable venues and the coronation filling quite dry also we had two pieces of chocolate cake. Now the cake we received was from two different cakes, I gave the new cake piece to my partner and the other to myself. For the same price £2.90 they were very different mine was dried out and obvs had been hanging around from the day before or day before that! I will say the coffee was quite nice. They seem to be adhearing to Covid precautions but was surprised that customers can still collect trays from a stack. Other places I 've been are issuing them to custom...

We came here for lunch after an absence of a couple of years. Found a seat and went to order our soup(weren't too keen on leaving our stuff at the table but wanted to see what was on offer and pay for both meals at the same time (I suppose we could have gone up individually). Got our soup and also ordered coffee. As other people have said, the soup was going cold whilst we were waiting for the coffee to be made. It seems to take an eternity for these coffee machines and they are so noisy the staff member serving me and I couldn't hear each other. Ordering tea seems to be quicker and the whole system also needs to be a lot quicker. The food was good though. Was glad to see that between 11.30-...

Cant understand the poor reviews on here! Okay its a Garden centre and not a 5 star restaurant but the food is still very good and certainly not poor. My wife and i have been coming here for quite a few years and have never had cause to complain, be it for morning coffee, lunch or afternoon fly cup. The service has always been good and all staff helpful and polite, when i read some of the reviews i wondered if they actually speaking about the same place!! I always rely on trip advisor before i go anywhere to eat or stay and 99 times out of 100 the reviews are spot on, however i disagree with the poor rating for Potters Kitchen. Best thing to do is try it for yourself and see, prices are not...
