I'd heard mixed reviews, but wanted to find out for myself what the food was like, especially as it now has new management. Our waitress was very funny and drinks arrived promptly. I have a severe allergy, and the manager came over to make sure I'd read the disclaimer and that my food was suitable. All of the food was piping hot, and my steak and gammon was cooked perfectly. I'm looking forward to trying the Sunday roast, with a view to Christmas Dinner. The new team have really made a difference and the Cookhouse feels more family friendly.
*UPDATE* Tried out the buffet roast dinner. Thought it was really nice. Soft meats, nice roasties, creamy mash, stuffing balls, no shortage of gravy, great value for money!
Popped in the Potter Arms Pub for the first time in years and got a warm welcome.
They sell two real ales Boombar and London Pride but only had Pride on which was nice.
As I just walked in, there was no space to eat in the restaurant so I sat in the bar and looked to eat but decided against it, all looked a bit tired and the memu all you expect from lower end dining.
There are few gaming machines lighting up the area, and big screen TV.
There is parking, shared with the hotel next door but remember to resister your car or a fine will come your way.
There is plenty of outside seating.
One I will be returning too soon
Been here a few times as its nearby and convenient to visit. The food is nice, very typical pub sort of food, which I enjoy. Service is always very efficient and all the staff are happy to help. It even has a play area for the kids to burn off some extra energy which is great. Overall very much worth a visit for low cost tasty food.
Great dining experience, The food was great
I was a bit sceptical as we had a table of 18 but hats off to them food was delivered in a timely manner and everything was hot and delicious. Service was great they always checked if anyone needed anything more. Will definitely be returning 👌
Usually a favourite place for lunch. Had a Good evening out with a group of friends
Everyone enjoyed their choices, salad was a bit meagre, and they had run out of BBQ sauce. The aircon was a bit chilly but otherwise nice atmosphere
Nice place, on Sunday they serve roast mix (turkey, beef, pork) + vegetables 💷 10. Very pleasant interior, and enough places to sit outside. But better to book in advance inside (there are many people on Sunday). It is good place to talk to your friends, to eat tasty food. Do you dance? Do you have alive music? Thank you
We had a lovely lunch today with a great choice of good value food. We were served promptly by friendly and attentive staff. I've not been back to the Potters for a while but the new manager Emily has made some noticeable improvements to service, I would definitely recommend.
A return to this restaurant and what an improvement. Although the waitresses have always been lovely, the gluten free menu has improved dramatically. Burgers now with gf buns and the banoffee cheesecake was wonderful. A+
Very enjoyable evening meal with family. Everyone made a point of saying how much they enjoyed their food. Also grateful thanks to the young manager and his very pleasant waitress. Thank you both.
