Great place to spend some time in the coffee shop where food always looks so delicious!! The gift shop just grows and grows so I can't be the only person who thinks it's a great place to look for gifts of all kinds. Outside the gardens are blooming marvellous. 💐
This is a great place to enjoy wonderful food and drink great relaxing atmosphere where the staff are so friendly and helpful good place to meet friends for lunch or afternoon tea and cake thank you Aston pottery.
A lovely place to visit. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. Great shop, lots of pottery choices/ gift ideas.
The restaurant is fab, enjoyed our coffee & cakes.
Planning to do lunch next time 😋
Aston pottery is definitely worth a visit.
Late flowering borders with absolutely stunning displays of annuals, dahlias and perennials for you to wander round free of charge.
The gift shop is full of wonderful pottery and gifts for everyone.
The cafe boasts homemade produce from Quiches and salads to an amazing selection of beautiful cakes and a wide range of teas and coffees.
Friendly staff throughout the site, nice place to visit with family or friends.
What a lovely place! As a maker I can appreciate the time that goes into some of the products that are sold here, therefore understand the pricing of great quality goods.If by the time you are half way round you are hungry then a stop in the cafe for lunch is a must, with large portions of lovely food all made on site you will be revived for round two of shopping for beautiful gifts.
Visited Aston Pottery specifically for an afternoon tea with my daughter. When I booked they were very accommodating as I don't like brioche buns so asked if I could have sandwiches instead. The sandwiches, sausage roll, scones and cakes were amazing and all the staff were really lovely. Good coffee also. Will be going back and plan on taking my grandchildren as they do children's lunch boxes.
Our gardening group had a tour of the gardens which were wonderful. So colourful! The gardener who conducted the tour, a young man called Kian, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A very enjoyable and worthwhile visit.
Wonderful Place near Oxford for pottery, superb food and drink. They started the gardens from scratch and they are becoming more beautiful each year. I have had the pottery now for more than 20 years and they still look like new. Very recommendable!
Update August 2019
Went again with my friends. The gardens are a mass of colour an even bigger than last year.
Food was good as usual and they sell their own calendar now.
Very tasty quiche, yummy sausage rolls and great coffee! Seved quickly and politely.
Overall this is a unique and different shopping experience. Christmas is particularly good. However the cafe is a bit hit and miss, with the offerings for lunch. Recent visit, the lunch was semi hot, served on cold plates. Although cooked and kept in warming rack, hot would be better. On previous occasions, the food and cakes have been better. Service with a smile would go a long way as well...Update: ( 30th July 21)
Still good place to browse and find unique gifts, especially attractive planting outside, despite the rain
We came to the pottery mainly because the pottery garden that day was opened by the National Garden Scheme NGS. But as the café was there, it made sense to have a bite. They had some delicious salads and quiches and we had a perfectly nice lunch. The pottery shop was also worth a visit with some fantastic and beautifully decorated items.
This is a magical garden, and completely free to cafe visitors. So much work goes in to creating it. The cafe is lovely.
