  “We had a lovely traditional Sunday carvery at this family-run restaurant with my wife, son, and a friend. The food was excellent, freshly cooked, and the desserts were delicious. We enjoyed some drinks outside before dinner, and the service throughout was polite, friendly, and prompt. A great experience all around, and definitely worth a visit!”

  “What an amazing place to eat. I was taken there for a big birthday treat. Because it was a large booking, we also had it to ourselves. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the haddock and chorizo fishcake starter. It was so good I purchased some from their cabin opposite the restaurant and even been back today for more. Hannah made us all comfortable and nothing was too much trouble, while her hubby was busy cooking for us all. I 100% recommend The Potting Shed. You won’t be disappointed”

  “The quality of food here is equal to Michelin standard. The Sunday Carvery is superb - Richard is a talented gifted chef and the ambience which he and Sarah have created is unique. A warm welcome is assured and a comprehensive selection of soft drinks is available to buy. If you want alcohol you can take your own with no corkage charge and glasses are provided. I am looking forward to trying the 8 course taster menu which at £75 a head looks tremendous value. This restaurant is definitely one to watch and book ahead.”

  “We had the most incredible evening at The Potting Shed a few weeks ago and I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. My husband Andrew and I went for the August tasting menu and from start to finish it was exceptional. Every course was beautifully thought out, presented and, most importantly, absolutely delicious. From the freshly baked Wessex mill breads and rosemary & sea salt butter, through to the roasted tomato and red pepper soup, crispy lemon sole, the incredible beef Rossini and Hasselback potatoes, and finishing with the Belgian chocolate and raspberry roulade — every dish was a little work of art. But it wasn’t just the food that made the evening so special. The atmosphere was wonderfully warm, friendly and relaxed. The waiting staff were absolutely lovely — attentive, welcoming and friendly without ever being intrusive. You really felt looked after throughout the whole evening. Being such a small, intimate venue, seating around 22 people, makes the experience feel incredibly personal. There’s a lovely sense that everything is about the food, the people and making sure guests have a genuinely memorable evening. The chef and owner is absolutely lovely too — warm, welcoming and clearly incredibly passionate about what he does. You can see how much care and creativity goes into every dish, and that passion really shines through. For the quality of the food, the attention to detail, the wonderful staff and the whole experience, I genuinely think this place deserves to be much busier. It’s a real hidden gem and exactly the sort of independent business that deserves our support. If you enjoy beautiful food, a warm and welcoming atmosphere and something a little different from a typical restaurant experience, please give The Potting Shed a try. You won’t regret it. ❤️”

  “We booked the entire venue for a Sunday carvery for a family birthday meal. First time at the venue and was not disappointed at all particularly for the price of which some goes to charity. The food, service and atmosphere was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. The range of deserts was fabulous (hot with custard, fruit salad, cake, etc.) Whilst we took our own alcohol they do have non alcoholic drinks available. This was an exceptional experience at a unique venue which we highly recommend.”

  “We went to a foraging day last Saturday at the Potting Shed, it was brilliant. It started off with a lovely breakfast spread and then we hit the trail. Alvaro, who led the foraging trail was so engaging and knowledgable, we all learnt so much about what you can pick in our local area. Afterward, we had a beautiful four course dinner back at the restaurant. Every dish was delicious, especially the venison! We really recommend it.”

  “Great way to celebrate my Mums birthday with the family. As we were the only booking we had the place to ourselves which was nice. Food was absolutely amazing, my favourite dishes were the parsnip and apple veloute, (even though I don’t like parsnip), and the pork dish. Great that we could take our own alcohol which was champagne and red and white rose’ wine. Great value and we would definitely return.”

  “The food was phenomenal for both taste and presentation. The outside seating area was very comfortable and the service was great. We didn't know any of our party of diners but getting to know them made a really good atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and we would definitely visit again”

  “I visited The Potting Shed on a Friday evening with my partner to try their Jamaican Night menu, and we were really impressed! I hadn’t heard of this place before but was pleasantly surprised to learn it only opened in May this year. The food arrived promptly and was beautifully presented. The sharing-board style worked perfectly — everything was laid out in the centre of the table, making it easy to try a bit of everything without feeling like you were taking too much. There was more than enough for everyone, and the flavours were absolutely delicious (the curry in particular was a favourite!). We were seated in a chef’s table style, which created a lovely, communal atmosphere, and it really added to the experience. Hannah, who looked after us, was so friendly and attentive — always available if we needed another drink or even a little more curry! Overall, both of us thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The food, atmosphere, and service were excellent, and we felt it was really good value. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different.”
