Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food menu is quite varied and they make excellent pizzas in a proper wood-fired pizza oven."
  • "The food was gorgeous and all the staff were lovely."
  • "Food was amazing we got pizza and kebab to share, pizza is the best I've had for a lot of years and kebab was more like Greek gyros but absolutely delicious."
  • "The food here is really good quality food."
  • "Food was wonderful, place was clean but what I want to focus on is the amazing waiter we had."

Cons:

  • "The burgers we ordered were dry and chewy."
  • "Disappointed with burger, very poor quality."
  • "The food was poor, overcooked Cod and chips, the steak and ale pie was a cheap shop bought one and the gravy wasn't any better."
  • "The food was undercooked and what you get isn't what's on the menu."
  • "The chicken bites could do with an improvement, £6 is a bit pricey for pieces of broken bits of dry chicken."

  • "We complained to the young waiter who just replied 'oh' and walked off."
  • "Was there today with my family, the barman was more into his mobile phone than serving me."
  • "The young man was rushed off his feet, could have done with another member of staff helping him out with the backload of orders."
  • "We have just walked out after waiting nearly an hour and forty minutes. The food still hadn’t arrived."
  • "Nice pub but service was poor. It wasn't busy so no excuse."

Ambiance and Facilities

  • "Fantastic decor, dog friendly which is great."
  • "A great venue. Open and airy."

Cons:

  • "Been to the potting shed before/during COVID 19 and I understand we are in strange times but from the get go I didn’t get a friendly vibe about the place the moment I walked in with my family."
  • "There was a woman trying to sing and strum her guitar in an awfully maudlin way far too loud to have a catch-up."
  • "Inside is looking a little tired now too, it needs upgrading."
  • "It's a place full of dangerous floors. I went over several times (I don't drink)."
  • "Toilets nice and clean but dryers are useless. You give in and use loo roll or your clothes."
  • "It was packed and extremely noisy due to the music being very loud."
  • "Musicians not bad but just too loud to be able to have any conversation in the group."

Value for Money

  • "Meal was fine at an ok price."
  • "The food was excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food."
  • "Had a great evening with good honest well prepared food."
  • "They had live music when we were there which just made the atmosphere perfect!"

Cons:

  • "The food wasn't really worth what we paid."
  • "We were very disappointed that it came on a slice of rustic bread not value for money."
  • "The first thing you should know about the Potting Shed is that it's huge: think Tobey Carvery or Harvester. The second thing is the vibe: it's a wannabe Wetherspoon without the cleanliness."
  • "Had a pizza that was pricey and when it arrived I could barely see the duck topping."
  • "Nice surroundings but food was overpriced and the quality poor."
  • "Food was top notch, though expensive."
  • "Overpriced for quality."
