The Carding Shed

My brother found this place for a Father's Day Treat for himself, my husband and our Dad from Google maps so hopefully this review will help other people find it. It's such a hidden gem. The cafe is like the TARDIS in that I thought it would be a little run down thing from the outside but once you step in, the size and the decor and the cars really take you back. It's amazing. My little boy had the kids picnic bench things which he loved. I has the pulled pork sandwich which was comfort food heaven. And the cakes 🤤 Service was slightly slow, but it's homemade cooked food so you expect it but we had an excitable 4 year old with us so thankfully there's enough around to keep him entertained too. We'll definitely be back and I've already started recommending it to friends.

I'll be honest, I was expecting a small(ish) warehouse with some cars and a few tables and chairs. In reality, it's a lot better than that. The showroom is a separate room and has a modest display of vehicles and a viewing area into the garage. While it may be modest, it is displayed really well. Next to it is a really large restaurant area where the display continues, especially when it comes to classic signs. Even the hall to the toilet has something to look at with the many model/toy cars on displayed. Unlike many themed places, the food was actually really good and the service right up there with the best. I'm going to say I'm very impressed with the way they handled 8 of us. I'm looking forward to returning, especially when they have a market on.

Very friendly service, excellent pot of tea all served in vintage porcelain, great steak pie served with garden peas and chips, well worth the wait. Only problem is there doesn’t seem to be any internet either from a mast or in-house Wi-Fi

Car nostalgia and great food! A must for motorcar enthusiasts with a car display spanning from a Porsche 964, BMW 2002 TI I, a TV7 through to a mark one Transit. There is also a restoration service with their exquisite craft on display. The food and service was excellent. We opted for a breakfast muffin and a hanging chicken kebab alongside a perfect coffee. There is plenty of onsite parking and rest room facilities. I recommend visiting and look forward to returning.

Really nice place with cool cars and tasty food. Worth to visit.
