The Potting Shed Cafe - Rutland

Over priced and disappointing! ordered a jacket potato with prawns and was shocked by how small the portion size was! Especially seeing some of the other meals coming out of the kitchen. Tiny little salad in a pot with the brown ends of lettuce, no tomato and drowning in dressing! £3 for the prawns and there was barely enough to cover the potato. Mentioned we were unhappy when we went to pay the bill no one came to clear our plates and got told, we can’t help how big the potatoes are’ this is our second bad experience there will not be going back again.

We have eaten here so many times but yesterday we left very overwhelmed. We went for the weekend brunch platter, I always order gluten free but yesterday was a complete flop, no waffles and the pancakes were so thick they just crumbled and fell apart… Definitely not light and fluffy… Unfortunately they had no gluten free bread either for the toast to go with the fry up so substituted with hard stale and dry wraps…. I would rather they couldn’t cater for intolerances than serve up meals that are so bad you have to leave them…. We’ll try again but it’s going to take a fair amount for Radish to get back into one of my fav brunch spots…

Ordered a latte, only received half a cup as the rest was froth, making way to strong. Ordered a portion of fried mushrooms which consisted of 1 medium size mushroom, I complained so they came back with another one and said it was free? £1 per mushroom is ridiculous. Then dived into my poached eggs to find they were raw on the inside, very disappointed. I’ve been to this place 3 times as it’s my local and every time I’ve been disappointed by something. Waiting time is also unreasonable.

Excellent and varied menu, lovely team. We were looking for a dog friendly breakfast and Radish did not disappoint. Great dog facilities with beds and water and treats! I can recommend the bubble and squeek with poached egg and crispy bacon, hubby had the halloumi mixed grill, both amazing. Sunday roasts feature for the autumn and should be amazing.

My daughter and I went to the coffee experience at two chimps and thought we would try the Radish restaurant as it was close by. The Radish has an extensive menu and the Sunday lunches looked lovely. We just wanted a light lunch it was really delicious. My daughter had a vegetarian sausage and egg sandwich and I had a baked potato. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick.
