I absolutely loved it here! Loads of history and it was great to immerse myself in it. The first couple of series' of The Great Pottery Throwdown were filmed here...the show that started my love for pottery and the reason for my visit. It would be nice to have a few more potter's work for sale though.

We went for the self led clay making experience and had a look around whilst we were in there. This was the first time we've been and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of history to learn about, lovely little cafe right on the canal also.

We went primarily to view the FORTYSEVEN exhibition of bottle oven photos, which was very good and interesting. Many of the shops weren't open which was a shame and it was very quiet. We would like to do a full guided factory tour but this is only available week days. We will hopefully return for this. Had a drink and cake from the cafe, it was delicious and lovely to be able to sit outside by the canalside.

We've just been for a visit in August 2023. A really interesting place to see
Some lovely little shops where produce is hand crafted.
A decent cafe, excellent food with great service.

Spent a lovely afternoon wandering round the heritage trail at my own pace. It's imaginatively laid out and there's lots of information about this important part of British industrial history.

Great place for a day out. Guided tours and self-guided tours. Still a working pottery and with additional craftspeople, cafe, shop. On the canal. A good day out and can be visited rain or shine.

The website needs more details and should encompass the independent traders present. The experience itself was good. The cafe was competitively priced and clean. We took our 5 yr old grandson and he enjoyed making something with the clay. I didn't see anything on the website about it or if it's there I missed it.

Beautifully restored factory and terraced streets. Factory tour and self-guided tour were very thorough and interesting. The cafe food was tasty, especially the lobby and oat cakes (service isn’t rushed so allow time for this).
Darren Gregory
A very Interesting place looking at the heritage of the pottery industry and it's workings.
Nice cafe to get a bite to eat and a drink. Also some good bargains in the shop if you are looking for souvenirs or indeed a full dinner set.

We stopped at middleport pottery cafe for some dinner on our girly walk. Lovely place, amazing food & staff.

The breakfast is amazing! Highly recommended! I also heard that they do afternoon tea, great for baby showers and girly get togethers. The team on site were great and very attentive during our visit too, thanks for a 5* experience.

Good selection of sandwiches and cakes, just a shame the service wasnt up to standard. As I had to get up 3 times 1 to get cream & jam for the scones, 2nd to get side plates and 3rd to get up for cuterly. As a whole this just let the experience down due to it being for my nans birthday as you have to pre book 24 hours before so staff are fully aware of your arrival time.

Had a lovely Afternoon Tea today. It was all beautiful. Staff were very nice too. Would love to come back on a sunny day to sit outside

We love it and have got friends from Sussex to visit too. About 6 or 7 visits now despite living 200 odd miles away. The whole site is interesting with plenty to look at and the cafe is a friendly and good value place. One thing though - the round tables used to rotate freely, great fun to wind up relatives as their cake was passed onto the next person but the fun has been stopped. Tables now stay put, safe but boring :)
