I booked the Moatshed for a surprise 80th birthday party for my mum. We had just over 50 guests and I would say this was a perfect number for the venue.
I was given a wide choice of items to create an afternoon tea menu, along with access in the morning to put up decorations. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, even when we had people drop out at the last minute - we were even given one guest's full selection of vegetarian afternoon tea to take home for her, along with a large 'doggy bag of leftovers. They catered for various dietary requirements, including vegan and gluten free, with no problems at all.
I cannot praise them all enough - all the staff were a joy to deal, the venue was spotless and we were really looked after.

A sneaky cooked breakfast special for my birthday treat booked by my dear wife. The food was excellent, especially the sausages and the bacon, which, together with perfect eggs was a really unusual treat.

So I set my husband a challenge to cook for me on Valentines Day after 37 years & only cooking one meal previously 🙈 I decided to make life a little easier for him & ordered from The Moat Shed
Great move the food was fantastic he managed to follow all the instructions provided. Couldn’t fault anything
Highly Recommend 🥂⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sadly, The Moat Shed is no longer open on a regular basis. However, it does open to the public on occasions. Subscribe to their mailing list to be notified of dates and be quick to book your table.
During lockdown we regularly had their takeaway afternoon teas - always delicious and very generous portions. Recently we were lucky enough to go for Sunday lunch. It was our first time and, we hope, the first of many. The staff are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. We had soup and pate to start, followed by roast beef and roast lamb. Both were perfect and accompanied by lots of tasty vegetables. For dessert we had apple crumble tart and custard (vegan) and coffee and ginger pavlova. We were spoilt for choice and, although intrigued by the idea of a savoury cheesecake, we simply didn't have room didn't have room. Not to worry, we were able to have a piece to take away for later. The draught beer and the wines on offer were also excellent.
Every table was taken and yet the atmosphere was calm, with the buzz of very happy diners.
If you get the chance to eat here, don't hesitate. We certainly intend to be regulars, so please make sure you leave a table free for us!
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful experience. See you soon!

We stumbled across this wonderful establishment yesterday morning; a hidden gem in rolling countryside.
We were greeted with friendly professionalism and advised they were fully booked for lunch but we could be accommodated for coffee and “cake”.
We were served promptly with delicious delights garnished with fresh fruit and treated most courteously. This is in a stunning location and is beautifully fitted out inside with some delightful touches. Our server was extremely helpful and of a very pleasant disposition; she was knowledgeable about the establishment and eager to answer our questions.
We looked at the Sunday lunch menu and it’s safe to say we will be back to sample it!
Thank you to all involved in this fabulous venture; you did good.
Kind regards and very wishes.
