The Black Shed - Cambridge

Popped in for breakfast on our way to the wetlands because we had heard that it was meant to do good breakfast. It does. A good portion size at a decent price, in a lovely location. Outstanding

Two part review 1) Staying in the campsite opposite we were recommended to visit the black shed for breakfast. We were not disappointed. The ‘black shed filler’ for £10 was a beast of a breakfast. The food was hot and fresh and the staff lovely and polite. 2) Whilst we were there we noticed a sign about boat trips up and down the canal. £5 each for roughly 30 mins. The two ladies in charge were an excellent double act, allowing children to have a go at steering the boat whilst giving an in depth and pertinent history of both the vessel and the canal. A very lovely morning out and thoroughly enjoyable breakfast.

We were a family party of 15 through the Saturday Afternoon. It was my Autistic Grandson’ birthday. He was very excited and a little ‘over cooked’ making endless demands of the smiling and very helpful server without being rebuffed or knocked back. The answer was even ‘No we can’t do that’ sometimes and it was accepted unusually) I think due to this patience and friendly demeanour. The welcome and endless patience made a happy event almost stress free for children, parents and grandparents. The food was of good quality and plentiful with swift service at reasonable price but overall it was the kindness that made this an exceptional experience. Thank you.

Fabulous breakfast especially the veggie one. Nicely cooked, good prices. Thick toast and strong Yorkshire tea. Helpful friendly staff. Will return next time we’re in the area.

Used to be a great cheap and friendly place. but not so good now. ideal for people who just want to pay a little moor than what its worth, very busy we have been lots of times over the years but its getting worse. Ideal setting for the canal, Freindly enouh staff. so thats a bonus. car park is hard to park in at busy times. and no where else to use instead. Great for lots, but not any good any more fore us
