Was recommended by a work colleague, and for a damn good reason. Visited with my family, and had the most amazing breakfast. I’m very fussy, I got it custom made to exactly what I wanted, the portions are huge, the quality of the food was A1. Friendly service, fantastic food, great value. It’s a hidden gem, I would highly recommend

Lovely first time at this place on a grotty Sunday morning. After reading good reviews we gave it a go! Really nice venue , light and airy , and a warm Welcome . Food was prompt and fresh I had toasted sourdough with avocado , poached eggs and salmon which was very tasty. Bf had large full English. Will be back and will try one of the other many things on the menu! :)

A lovely lunchtime getaway to the Garden Shed - service was brilliant and felt very welcoming. The food was delicious and very good value for money, and the staff were able to answer any and all questions about the food we ordered. We will definitely be returning!

It's was the wife's birthday and she said she would like a nice full English breakfast so I did some research as was recommended here, well we were not disappointed, excellent friendly service, excellent food with a great choice , it was hot, tasty and so much of it. I highly recommend this place, we we're here on a Sunday and people were turned away because it's busy so would advise booking.

Top quality breakfast. Really great place for food, coffee and great value. Very friendly staff.

I chose this place because of its top-rated reviews, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The food was incredible, and the service made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

A bright clean and well presented cafe, the cooked breakfast was excellent. The staff were really helpful when we visited but the atmosphere was a little lacking, so please try this place and you will not be dissapointed
