Had a wonderful time at The Potting Shed, they were very accommodating to make sure there was enough room for us to put the baby pram next to the table. Service was lovely and food was great as usual. The decor is lovely and very garden like with lots of plants hanging which was such a lovely atmosphere and gave baby plenty to look at. Can’t wait for the next time we go again :)
