I love to search for new places to visit and always enjoy it when they are a little unknown.

The Potting Shed is definitely a hidden gem; located just outside of Wisbech at The Secret Garden Touring Park, it’s a good-sized restaurant with plenty of space.

It had a good choice of brunch dishes, and the fry-ups were simple - one, two or three, it determined how many sausages, bacon and eggs you got, and I loved it.

You really can’t beat a fry-up to start the weekend off right and this place does it perfectly!

All of the fry ups came with tomatoes, mushrooms, good thick toast and the choice of fried new potatoes or hash browns.

I was very excited by this choice and couldn't decide, so I had both.

The portion size was massive - it was a struggle to get through and I did slightly regret having both potatoes and hash browns, however, they were both incredible.

The hash browns were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, and the potatoes were a great addition and tasted amazing dunked in the fried eggs (which had a perfect yolk).

REVIEW: Italian restaurant in Ely is 'a great place to visit with a huge menu'

The sausages were not too big, which was good, and they had great flavour.

It had thick cut bacon, which was really yummy, but I do prefer it crispier.

I liked that the beans were in the pot, which keeps the toast from getting soggy - I always appreciate this.

Although I was stuffed, I would have liked a few more mushrooms as they were really good!

Overall, it was a great full plate, good value for money and a lovely place to visit.

When my current diet is over, I will definitely be back.

The staff were all so friendly and the place had a good family-friendly atmosphere, so do check it out if you haven’t already!
