Excellent venue, with great food. The service was fantastic, and it was child friendly - our little one was well looked after by our waitress, and we were really impressed with the quality of her fish fingers and chips.

Our community group (The Wombles of Hambleton) had an excellent experience at The Potting Shed yesterday. We popped in after our monthly litterpick and Sam was kind enough to let us have a room to ourselves AND gave us complimentary drinks. It was a really kind gesture and was much appreciated by us all. Thank you!

Used to visit frequently when we lived closer and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere.We came for an early Mother’s Day bite to eat with two children and a baby. Staff were very attentive and seated us immediately. They helped manoeuvre the pram around and it was only after a few minutes we realised we’d been seated directly in front of the speakers for the live music that was about to start. I have no issue with the music as he was lovely but it did seem an odd time as it seemed most people around were wanting to watch the rugby or talk but it was ok and actually the baby wasn’t phased and the gent was very talented.We ordered two sharers at around £9 each and 3 of the light bites for £15.95 along with a round of drinks taking the bulk to arbour £49.A table were moved to sit behind us and had clearly been drinking all day, I have no issue with this but the noise from the women was horrendous. The screeching, the hysterical laughter and screaming was insufferable and only got worse. At 7pm I’d understand I shouldnt be complaining but this was 1630.Bearing in mind we’re in front of guitar amps and the baby was sitting happily, the moment these guests began screaming it was apparent we weren’t the only ones irritated but I appreciate this isn’t the potting sheds fault. We hoped to leave as soon as our food was finished and so when it arrived that’s when I felt really disappointed.Considering the price I felt it was very poor.The nacho sharer looked like it was a few tortilla chips chucked on a plate, spoonful of salsa, a small ration of cheese and shoved in the microwave. Sour cream blobbed on top and put it came, for £9 it is daylight robbery and there wasn’t much sharing involved. The halloumi fries although soggy, rubbery and and Luke warm were ok. The peri chicken strips were quite nice but the chicken pieces although nice the size was shocking, essentially one chicken nugget size portion chopped into 6 or 7 pieces. The sharing fries were meant to be bacon and cheese and first had just coddled together on a plate. They looked brown burnt and soggy and very sad. I struggled to find the bacon but again assumed it was the cheese and the microwave to melt it and out they came. Very unappealing especially for the cost which is a shame as having been frequently before we’ve always enjoyed this type of food with the children as a treat saving money from larger meals.I had to move our table to sit in front of the toilet to escape the screaming guests directly behind us and the staff were very he loudly in doing this. As soon as we finished we left because every time the screeching started the baby was upset. Bearing in mind again we’d say by speakers so that hadn’t been an issue as she was happily watching the performance until then. The noise and language from the guests was just ridiculous and I didn’t want to add further with upset children. The staff again were lovely and hardworking but the atmosphere was sadly ruined by the guests and the food. Probably wouldn’t visit again unless it was just a drink.

Went on Sat 24/2/24 ttime was ok but ruined as there was a terrible live guitarist on. Killed every song. Not one person applauded him. Never again!Oh and was advertised as showing Six Nations games and England was on but yep, guitarist ruined that too. Why was he even there?!

Ordered gammon egg and chips. Was awful. Egg was overcooked with hard yolk. I commented on this and a replacement was brought a few mins later. Chips were poor, soggy and greasy. Gammon was just passable. No garnish, no peas etc and presented with no care. I was hungry after a long day at work so just ate it .How is it possible to wreck gammon egg and chips?I won't eat here again.

Not very impressed, my wife and I went on Sunday for lunch only to find the outside heavily deposited with broken glass cigarette butts all over and empty bottles and glasses in plant pots at 12.15 pm. Then when we asked for our drinks we were told that that particular beer wasn't available yet. When we asked for a Sunday lunch menu which should have been on the table we had to ask 3 different members of staff who were all unsure and had to ask someone else. Not very impressed as it has only just reopened.

Had heard a lot of good things about this place so thought me and a couple of my girlfriends would try it out, as soon as we went in you could feel such a great atmosphere, The staff all looked to be happy there too as the banter from them was great while waiting on our drinks, exactly what you want if your looking to have a great night out! Couldn’t help but notice how great the food looked, will defo be back to sample the food menu next time!
