The Potting Shed Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "The venue itself was modern, rustic, cool, smart, quirky, huge, split into a bar area with TV and restaurant with open plan kitchen and pizza oven. It was just everything all rolled into one."
• "The restaurant is beautifully decorated to the its name and it's kids friendly with high chair."
• "The rooms are huge, comfortable, warm. Massive bathroom and shower. Clean."
• "What a fantastic place to eat. We came for dinner with friends and a little one."

Cons:

• "Nice pub, but accessibility and facilities need drastically updating."
• "One of the staff were leaning on the plates at the counter chatting to the chef, just before a pizza was placed on said plate... I think that shouldn't really be allowed due to hygiene."
• "Massive disappointment. Aloof staff and weak management."
• "Overnight stay for my birthday. Only nitpick would be the curtain instead of a bathroom door but I appreciate it's a stylistic choice."

Service

Pros:

• "We were greeted and served by 2 of the most friendliest servers we have ever met! They were so welcoming, helpful and they just love their jobs."
• "Our server was brilliant although I didn't get her name. But she was funny and bubbly even joining in with the ribbing of our younger guest."
• "The service by Michaela and Andreea were excellent. They were so friendly and always had a smile on their faces."
• "The staff were all friendly and helpful, the rooms were nice and replenished with refreshments whenever asked and the breakfast that is included was superb."

Cons:

• "Nice pub, but accessibility and facilities need drastically updating."
• "Service was ok, they forgot my olives for starter and we had to get them removed from the bill."
• "Hard work trying to find a menu, staff in restaurant are excellent at avoiding eye contact."
• "Appalling service. Turned up to my daughter's post wedding lunch and sat at the adjacent table. Got told to move but no alternative table offered."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food was good I went for the mackerel fillets which were huge but had food envy when the fish and chips came out."
• "Superb, hands-on, knowledgeable service of a clean, tasty and all local ingredients menu."
• "This was my third time going to the potting shed. It is a really safe option to choose for vegans who are dining with omnivores."
• "Fabulous meal, loved the private shack with own heating and Bluetooth sound system. Great service from the staff. Awesome menu including plenty of vegan options."

Cons:

• "We went on a Saturday evening, expecting big things after good reviews. The food was nice, we ordered the burgers and then a dessert each. It was tasty but I was expecting more."
• "We have been to the Potting Shed a few times, food was always good, not this time. I love pizza from a wood fired oven, but this one could have easily been a supermarket offering."
• "The place has a nice atmosphere and the service was great but the food was an absolute disaster."
• "The food was auwful today, the steak was chewy, the fish smelled like it was off. Very disappointed with the overall experience."
