The Potting Shed in West Dorset

As a regular customer, i am a little biased with my opinion. I have got to know most of the staff and have built a good customer relationship. However, that said, the only reason this situation has occurred is because of the great service and produce this establishment has to offer. Clean, polite and offer great tasting coffee. What a successful busness model.

Lost our order so a long wait for our meal. On their behalf they did give us our meal for free.

Great place for a light, healthy but filling lunch. Choice of healthy salads and soups served with delicious tasting bread. Be sure to book as tables limited.

Really friendly staff and with excellent food. Situated alongside the garden centre with access to both ways. Always visit when we are in Poundbury, great find.

Good menu. Delicious food. Generous helpings. Good prices. Nice setting. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely small cafe. Our menus were filthy to touch.Very pricey for a garden centre cafe as ordered off menu by staff request, welsh raebit, a simple cheese on toast, the plate looked totally unappealing & se what empty, consisting of 3 'very small' half size slices of bread for 2 @ £19.....WT?Not even 2 full slices of bread. Tasted awful!! Iceberg lettuce on side, some brown lettuce, so we left.Waited ages for our plates to be cleared with our table being walked-by from staff many many many times....& no it was not busy.We all wont be visiting again.

Really enjoyed the Halloumi burger with the sweet potato fries. The chocolate orange cake was excellent. The not so adult hot chocolates had lots of cream and were studded with malteasers.

We came for a quick bite to eat and were seated very quickly... and then just sat there and got ignored. After the waitresses walked past a number of times without even making eye contact we decided to get up and leave 😕Normally I wouldn't have minded a little wait but it wasn't busy at all.

What can I say?! I arrived today just after midday with my wife who suffers deeply from anxiety. We are greeted by a waitress who asks if we wish for a table for two to which we respond yes please.Upon entering the seating area said waitress asks if we would mind sharing with another or other persons to which we politely decline for obvious reasons we are still in the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic plus my wife suffers from anxiety.We are ushered into the corner at a table for 6 & then seated while given a grubby looking but wipeable menu and left to look at the available meals.Upon the waitress returning she takes our order for 2 sweet potato curries one with a nann bread the other with a salad garnish we asked for it to have no tomato as my wife cannot eat the seeds so a simple request to leave off the tomatoes.The meals arrive and behold the side garnish contains tomatoes. Instead of creating a scene my wife decided to eat around it and leave the tomato as the place was starting to become busier.Several people were asked to wait outside as there was no table space and this was said loudly enough for us to hear. Throughout the whole meal the group of waitresses were watching and making comments between each other making my wife feel very uncomfortable.It got to the point where the second we had finished eating the waitress was at the table asking to clear the plates away while sending 2 customers to wait by the side of our table with a menu making us both feel we had to leave.The attitude of the staff is something to be desired I shall not recommended to anyone. What was meant to be a nice quiet meal felt very rushed and did not meet up to our standards.

Mon dieu! £7 for two takeaway sausage rolls? They were very tasty of course, and backed up by friendly helpful staff. Providing you take a credit card, this is a lovely place for a snack or drink.
