Old Pottery in Teignbridge

Came here for breakfast with my mum and we were both really impressed. Firstly, all staff members were really nice, happy and helpful. We arrived early but the restaurant already had a fair few visitors. We both had a full English breakfast which comes with tea or coffee, orange juice and toast. This was a great addition and we were both surprised that it was all included in the price. Really impressed for £12! The breakfast was great, it was a good amount, really hot and no grease. Bonus! We would definitely come back again.

This was a real find. From the outside it looks unpromising to be honest, but it's a gem. The restaurant is in a hall-sized space, with beam and displays of pottery made on the site over the many years. The food is relatively simple, but delicious, great value and served very quickly. I'd recommend the Kerralan fish curry and the treacle tart. Afterwards you can go and watch beautiful glass ornaments being made at the en site glassworks. My mum is disabled and in a wheelchair, but we had no problem with access. She loved it.

Brilliant breakfast. Good quality ingredients. Great value too! And we have had a lot of breakfasts in many different places! Very good service from all the waiting staff. Would also like to mention Tom. My husband booked our table the same morning. He spoke to Tom and was so impressed with his telephone manner. Great customer service.

Having to QR code in the outside area is a bad idea an very rude staff who would not help with our big order. Will not be going again if they carry on with the QR rubbish. 30 minutes to place a order!!

Myself and my wife and her friend and her autistic son visited on Sunday 14 th April and had breakfast there, because her son would usually only have chips, the staff went out of there way to make it possible for him. So would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff.

We chose to have lunch at The Old Pottery Restaurant based on a recommendation and the positive reviews posted for this restaurant; sadly however, we were very disappointed. We hadn't had crab for many years and so the locally caught Brixham crab sandwich lunch appealed. Unfortunately it fell way short of our expectations. For £16 I thought I'd get some crab meat in the sandwich, instead of which we had something more akin to crab paste, the like of which can be had cheaply from most supermarkets. The brown bread was almost too dry to consume, the portion of fries was frugal and the tomato sauce had either been watered down or was a cheap brand. The coffee was very bitter, probably over extracted by the barista. All in all a very disappointing lunch experience - in short and based on this, I consider the restaurant to be overrated and overpriced. We won't be returning.

Having visited the old pottery restaurant for lunch many times as a child,as did my partner , we were excited to visit today for a child free breakfast. The combination of happy memories of delicious food for when we were children and the expensive price of the food, we were very excited. The excitement very quickly wore off when we were faced with our meal. £14.50 for a “big breakfast” which in my opinion is a standard. Ketchup so watering, I think you’d find better quality for the dirtiest food truck in the back of a dark alley. I don’t want to be a complete misery guts, the black pudding was delicious. However, the rest of the meal was extremely salty. Now, when you order breakfast you get orange juice and unlimited tea or coffee included, so the food being salty shouldn’t be a problem seeming your given the opportunity to have plenty of fluids (probably why it’s included). BUT, you’re given enough orange juice to wet about half your pallet and the coffee was a complete disappointment leaving you not even wanting finish a cup.

Decided to try out breakfast today as we had both been here as children with our parents, very disappointed and would not recommend. We both had the large breakfast within which we could only complement the eggs and black pudding. The fried bread tasted horrible and the bacon was so salty it didn’t taste of bacon ? The hash browns tasted like the cheap catering pack one and the sausage was very bland ! I don’t understand why you would serve a whole piece of fried bread and then also a piece of toast on the side with jam ? You only get a choice of beans or tomatoes not both ? Very stingy considering the price ! Also the filter coffee was not nice which explains why it’s free refills. Would not recommend to anyone, save yourself and drive on into Newton Abbot and get a proper breakfast !

Do not normally write reviews however we went for lunch for Mother’s Day which is a special occasion for us as well as all families. Very disappointed with the food and service. Roast potatoes rock hard could not eat. Beef brisket so tough. Service very poor, had to ask for cutlery after food served twice and ordered coffee we never received. Such a shame as it is a lovely place but came away very disappointed on a special day. Will not be returning to eat.

Visited at noon. We hadn’t booked but were told we could sit anywhere except one particular table. Made our way to a different table and were told we couldn’t sit there either. Eventually we were seated in a dark corner. Very little space between us and the table behind. Right next to a boiling hot radiator, and the table had a massive metal leg which made it difficult to sit comfortably. Waiter took our order. One of our drinks was unavailable. We both ordered chicken and mushroom pie, dauphinoise potato and seasonal veg. Service was quick. When our meal was brought the waiter asked if we would like gravy? I said yes, and then he said he didn’t have any!! Pie was excellent although I had very little mushroom. Could definitely have benefitted from a gravy. Veg was tender stem broccoli and green beans. However there was nothing tender about the veg. I like veg al dente but this was more like al concrete, and was cold. I couldn’t cut it with a knife so instead folded it up and tried to eat it. It was like cardboard so I gave up. Disappointed. Have loved their cream teas in the past but in future will avoid their cooked meals.

We usually stop off here for a break on our travels. The cafe/restaurant is ideal for this and a walk around the shop. My only surprise on this occasion was the steep rise in meal prices, £15 for poached eggs! Cheaper at the Ivy. We’ve all been hit by costs but blimey.

Nice restaurant in a great setting.

My sister and I went for a mooch around the shop and went into the working glass room, it was lovely to see the pieces being made, we had a lovely lunch, the staff are friendly and very accommodating, we had the super coffee and soup with fab bread and butter, a really lovely visit and lunch, will definitely be back again

This restaurant always delivers, whether it be lunch, dinner or just a cream tea. In fact the cream teas are the best I’ve ever had. Plenty of jam and cream and delicious scones. Always take my guests here when they come to visit.

Admittedly we went in the evening in December when The Old Pottery was offering a Christmas menu, but just because we are in December not everybody wants a Christmas meal. At no point when we booked was it pointed out that beyond the Christmas menu at £42 pp that they were offering a very limited restaurant menu. So excluding the Christmas menu the restaurant offered 4 main courses i.e. a vegetarian option, duck leg confit, fish and chips and a cheese burger. Emmm This type of menu is not what I would expect from a restaurant, this more akin to a cafes daytime offering. Sorry it was not worth our effort to get ourselves there and we will not be returning.

Had a meal from the Christmas menu 😋 Staff were lovely, needed a couple more to reduce wait times

Our first visit to the old pottery which came highly recommended. So I'm sorry to say we were very disappointed by the attitude of staff, particularly the young woman who showed us to our table. Once seated it was obvious that the table was much to low for anyone to be able to eat/enjoy their meal comfortably, (cannot believe other people wouldn't have had a problem with table height) so we politely asked if we could be moved to a different table. But she just shrugged her shoulders and said 'we're fully booked' then simply turned and walked away! After sitting there for a couple of minutes another member of staff approached our table to ask if we were ready to order. We again explained to her about the height of the table, and asked if we could move to a vacant one which was a few feet away. She again replied we are fully booked, without any explanation as to why we couldn't move to vacant table! So at point we decided to leave, and find somewhere else to have lunch. I realise it's December and lot's of places are busy, and that can put pressure on the staff, but I'm sad to say because of their attitude it's completely put me off going back there anytime soon.

Great friendly service, had the Christmas lunch menu, the turkey was very tasty and plentiful. Desserts were very filling but yummy. My husband had the Christmas grinch sundae and I had trifle.

Non existent customer service to the point you leave feel totally ignored and really not happy. Visited 22nd October with my husband, mother and 4 year old son. We booked a table and were seated quickly. The food came quite quickly and we were quite impressed with the menu and food quality, even though a little pricey. However once the meals were set down no one bothered to check in with us thereafter. No one came to ask if we were enjoying our meal or needed anything else, we had to catch the attention of a waitress to request butter for the bread, which came with no words or smiles it was just dumped on the table. After finishing our meals we sat staring at our dirty plates for at least 20 minutes. We all wanted a dessert but no one came to clear or bring menus, in the end we had enough all feeling thoroughly fed up and paid and left. Even on leaving we weren't asked if we'd had a good experience or we would have raised our concerns then. Another table came in behind us and were eating puddings as we walked out. Perhaps we were unlucky sitting in the corner next to the check in desk, although many staff walked past us many times, no one clearly could see that we were waiting. I have left feeling extremely disappointed and angry with basically being ignored. I will never come back here, which is a shame as the rest of the venue is lovely but this has tainted the whole place for us. I cannot recommend dining here unless you enjoy feeling a sense of invisibility.

Busy venue. Seating isn't the greatest. Bench seating around the edge of the conservatory area is too high to be comfortable. Great staff.

What a fabulous night shared with friends. Great food, great ambience, great staff, nice decadent decorating! Always love it here but they pulled all the stops out this night! The actors were all really good and we managed to solve the murder. The Nurse did it!!! Well done Hise of Marbles!

Had the best sandwich of our holidays here 😄 really packed with filling, gorgeous salad, crisps and vegan coleslaw on the side, way more than I was expecting. We had hummus, carrott & rocket, and tuna mayo with cucumber. Good tea and coffee too and very dog friendly. Lovely place and really friendly waitress.

Very disappointed having visited our regular breakfast choice. Waitress very abrupt and told even through premises best part empty, that a bus party were due and no room unless we could finish within 45 mins! Shame as when buses arent around they relied on locals, so hopefully they can get by with no locals! Shame as most of staff are excellent and cheery and food always of good standard. Managed to find a lovely place in Ashburton, which we will be using in future.

Fabulous place to eat, nothing too much trouble for the staff, best breakfast locally, and has been for many years. Great place to visit and eat.

Thank you to the staff for making our celebration breakfast just perfect! The addition of the wedding anniversary banner was a sweet touch. And thank you to the waitress/waiter for wishing us a happy day. Great breakfast as always. Well cooked food. In this year of all prices rising, we still think the set breakfasts are well priced especially as toast, orange juice and bottomless coffees are included.

This restaurant is only a 5 minute drive from our house yet we had never been in the day before. We decided on lunch with our daughter. Sadly her sandwiches were very stale. I chose the mushroom linguine which was very disappointing, it was just like eating dry linguine with no flavour or sauce, just some wild mushrooms scattered through dry pasta. My husband's crab sandwich was very basic and he described it as 'fine, nothing special.' For dessert we had a lemon meringue pie and our daughter her jelly and ice cream. The lemon meringue if I had my eyes closed I would not have guessed had any lemon in. It was just a soft dessert with no flavour. The jelly and ice cream was basic jelly with white ice cream, the type I remember my gran buying a big tub of 20 years ago, it wasn't vanilla or clotted cream ice cream just white flavourless ice cream. We noticed the age of everybody else dining and thought based on the previously good reviews on here it must be a restaurant for an older clientele. Soft, bland food with sadly no flavour. We were so disappointed and won't be returning. We'd much rather drive on an extra 5 minutes to go to Parke for lunch.

Bought some marbles and had a nice lunch on the way back from a holiday in Devon. Unusual place and a great find. The kids loved the marbles.

Fantastic place,food,ambience and full of interesting items... A lovely evening had... This is definitely a hidden gem....

A lovely hidden gem of a restaurant.. We are visiting the area on holiday and came across this on Web search for restaurants within the area of Bovey Tracey. A fabulous old industrial building with lots of history and character. Plenty of parking. A wonderful meal, very tasty food and very reasonably priced.. So much so, we have booked again for for our last night before heading home...

Extend your visit to The House of Marbles with a meal. Good selection for adults and children. Eat indoors or outside.

Brilliant, unique venue, special vibe. Lovely service, but bring cash for tip🙂

Such a gem of a place. Unique vibe and venue. Brilliant lovely service and great starters and mains. So happy we stumbled across it.

Wow! Such a nice charming relaxing place to eat..and the food is fantastic..and I am a fussy one when it comes to quality of food. The prices are the best you'll find around...and the desserts are well priced and big!

Took the two boys (8 & 10) for lunch at this rather quaint & eccentric museum/shop/cafe/ celebration of glass. Great menu, loads kids / different diets, plenty of decent vegan options. (I had mushroom linguine, yum!) Nice kids play area with giant chess, tenpin bowling, climbing frame etc. Lovely facilities & friendly staff. Ace.

The Old Pottery Restaurant is fabulous. What is a venue restaurant by day transforms into a fine dining restaurant Thursday to Saturday evenings. The ambience is completely different. The staff are wonderful - friendly and helpful beyond belief. Several times they have coped with my dietary problems and enabled me to enjoy a superb dinner with friends and family. In June 2023 we visited with American friends - who are still talking about their experience. The food is beautifully cooked and delicious to eat, presented so nicely. We have been four times since April and are going again this month with other friends. On a practical note there is oodles of parking! They are doing themed menus on Thursdays (running the main menu as well), changing monthly. We have been truly blown away.

Poor service booked yet queued for 10mins, food was okay but not for the price paid (better places locally to go) asked for no coleslaw not only got it but also added coleslaw in another pot too 😂 Wouldn't recommend

A very enjoyable meal a good portion for me but a man might find the size a bit small a bit more veg perhaps

Sehr nettes Cafe mit gutem Typischem Englischem gebäck sehr zu empfehlen.

Fantastic hidden gem in the middle of an old pottery factory (maybe not so hidden for the locals). Our waiter, Tom, was absolutely delightful and incredibly helpful. Big shout-out to the chef for wowing our taste buds with delicious vegan dishes. The standout of our evening was the polenta ragout with wild mushrooms. The asparagus and tomato tart was also incredibly tasty. I topped off my culinary experience with a towering brownie cheesecake that made me leave this place a happy chap.

The special of Arancini were delicious.

Just love this place, been here three times now and the food is consistently good with good size portions. A lovely atmosphere and very friendly, helpful staff. If you want good service, good food this is the place.

Breakfast plans did not work out but we found this gem. The food at breakfast was lovely. The staff were lovely. The museum was interesting. The shop was fun. All round - a great experience.

Good food in a lovely setting particularly when the weather is good and you can sit outside. Interesting menu and good kids choices. Lovely puddings and cakes . Nice play area for children too.

Had a lovely evening meal last week. The restaurant is well decorated. Tom our waiter was really efficient and informative. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Best kept secret in the SW ! Lovey meal tonight, best curry in Bovey Tracey. Great value for money. Lovely customer service.

I found out about the late night opening of the restaurant by accident i hadn't seen any advertising. Always looking for good places to eat. Friends and i visited this evening. The ambience was lovely, and the food was great, good-sized portions, and the service...

My wife and I were looking for somewhere to eat out on the last evening of a few nights' stay in the area and found this place, which had some good reviews. We weren't disappointed. The location was interesting and the food and service was...

Arrived as a party of 6, 1 of which was in a powechair (electric wheelchair) and happy to take 2 tables as they couldn't sit us as 6. We told no only one table table available everything else was pre booked. I walked away and...

Lovely friendly staff but the cooked breakfast was very small for £11. Only one sausage and a single piece of bacon with an egg and beans. Tasty enough but expect more for the price.

Staff are great, very helpful, and the gluten-free sandwich cheese was not that great. 9 pounds for the sandwich, I thought it was very expensive for what it was. But my wife stroganoff was great. May its just that they do not really cater for gluten-free. But the shop is a great place to visit for glass, and to watch the glass blowers work. Car parking is free. you have wheel chair access on the ground floor. I did not see a lift To get to 1st floor.

We are frequent diners during the day but we were taken to The Pottery by Night last evening and what a wonderful transformation! The food was up to its usual high standard, the service impeccable and the ambience was subtle. Will we return? Definitely. The...

Went here after climbing on Dartmoor, highly recommend it. Super warm and cozy with a great range of vegan and gluten free foods too. It's tucked away in the house of marbles which was a nice surprise, we didn't expect to be going to a mini museum too. Great access and loads of parking, staff were wonderful 👍

We have eaten at this restaurant many times in the daytime and more recently since they have opened in the evening. This visit was a Valentine’s Dinner. The food, service and ambience were fabulous. There were lovely touches such as a red rose for each...

Such a lovely evening at The Old Pottery Restaurant at The House of Marbles last night. Very welcoming with Prosecco and Canapés, followed by Steak Tartare, Tournedos Rossini cooked to perfection, (Derek had Lobster) cheese, coffee and petite four and a rose for the ladies!...

What a lovely evening we spent at the Old Pottery Restaurant! The Valentines evening was perfect. I am a regular visitor to the restaurant, but have never been for an evening meal. The atmosphere was perfectly romantic, lots of hearts and flowers! Each table had...

Had a lovely evening meal here a few nights ago. it is well signposted and easy to find with plenty of parking by the main door. The atmosphere was spacious while still feeling cosy and the building is beautiful. We were greeted warmly by the waitress who really couldnt have done more through our meal- she was friendly and polite and answered all the questions we had about various dishes. The main menu wasnt huge (apart from the dessert menu which had so many options, it was hard to choose!) but there were more than enough choices for all our party- and we are not the easiest to please! The food came quickly and was fresh and hot and so yummy! Portions were more than generous and all our meals were cooked perfectly- i really cant fault any part of our visit. Will definitely be returning and 100% recommend

The restaurant is lovely, the service is usually good, and the food very nice BUT I do feel they are getting too pricey. I visited a couple of weeks ago and had Rarebit on Toast. Decided to pay £1 for bacon and was disappointed to...

We had dinner on Saturday evening, the Christmas menu was lovely, and lots of choices!! To start we had the crab, amazing! My husband had the risotto and said it was the best he had ever tasted!!! And the best risotto out he had eaten in a long time! I had the Turkey, it was cooked to perfection, and very generous portion. Well done to Richard for another excellent Christmas menu, you and your team should be proud!!!

Took a trip to the Marbles and had lunch in the restaurant few months ago. We had Roast Chicken with a sauce, Mash Potatoes and Asparagus. This meal was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Hopefully its as good next time I visit.

Lovely food and good service at both coffee time and then later lunch. We we went on a Monday, not expecting it to be busy, however there were lots of people there.

Busy restaurant but excellent service and menu. Fascinating museum, active glassblowing workshop and a shop selling old fashioned games, specialist pottery and glass, limited edition wooden furniture and clothing.

We had lunch here as part of our visit to house of marbles, really enjoyed our sandwiches- not particularly cheap but full of fillings and nice to sit in the garden with the dog too!

Stopped for tea and cake late afternoon. Staff not very welcoming as tables had been cleared and it seemed they did not welcome further visitors. Cakes poor quality and expensive. Could be so much better.

Had lunch there. Excellent food and service but a bit too expensive for what we got.

Lovely setting. Cream tea was awesome but the staff were somiserable and very brash, not welcoming. After being told very curtly to wait to be seated I felt like a naughty school girl. Few lessons on how to smile wouldnt go a miss.

We were visiting the House of Marbles and decided to stop here for a quick lunch. The restaurant was busy but it was easy enough to get a table and service was quick. Lunch and drinks were tasty but I found it quite expensive. It...

After reading the reviews I was unsure but we went tonight and had the best time and delicious food,the staff were very friendly and polite , the place was very clean , so don’t always believe negative reviews you always get someone who needs to moan with nothing better to do, I go to a lot of restaurants and this is one of my favourites, so I’d give it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thankyou for a lovely time x

We popped in there unbooked and were pleasantly surprised by the enhanced atmosphere covid precautions have created. It was warm and welcoming and the menu though not extensive was varied . I had the fish of the day special . Sea Bass fresh and tasty...

We (family of 4) have been going to the marble museum and it's restaurant for about 8 years now. Every time we come on holiday to Devon it is a tradition of ours to eat at the restaurant and we are never disappointed. I always...

I love coming here! It a great restaurant with good quality food. I come here regularly with a colleague for work meetings. The staff are always so kind and wonderful and the food is top quality.

Haven’t been here for some time. Good to be back and pleased to say the food is still excellent and the service too. They have extended the seating outside and it was a lovely setting. Met some friends for lunch (booked in advance) although they...

Great service and lovely food. Afternoon tea was great value. Delicious sandwiches, scones and choice of cake. Helpful staff and great undercover outdoor seating.

Family lunch We had an amazing meal here today. We hadn’t booked, however the gentleman at the front directed us to a table outside which was great. The service was outstanding from all who took our orders and brought our food. The food arrived very...

We stopped by for breakfast and a wander around “the house of marbles”. The breakfast was great, fresh and a delight. Would absolutely recommend breakfast there.

We took our well behaved Labrador/Retriever, after checking on the website that dogs were allowed. We were met by a very friendly greeter who confirmed that the dog was welcome and seated us where the dog would not be in the way then immediately brought...

Excellent location, coupled with great staff and fine dining. Interesting menu, good value for money.

The Old Pottery is housed in the Museum of Marbles in Bovey Tracy and is well worth a visit for during the day for coffee, lunch or a delicious cream tea but is even better in the evening for dinner. Open Thurs- Sat in the...

A lovely evening meal with my husband. We had the A la Carte menu. Wonderful lemon and blueberry cheesecake! Very friendly staff and excellent service. Only slight comment would be that the lighting could be improved for the evening. Will definitely be back.

Pre-book as can get busy. Right next to house of marbles and teign valley glass museum Food was good and spent 2 hour here with lunch

Had a lovely brunch with my daughter last week. She had a sausage bap, I had poached eggs, smoked salmon and avocado on sourdough toast. Very yummy. You need to book a table as it is very busy. Good Covid compliance.

Really nice, good quality food. Great menu, great staff, great table service. I had the burger and it was super Thank you very much.

This was our second visit to the evening dining at The Old Pottery. Once again, what a brilliant menu and atmosphere. Excellent choices of food from the 3 course menu and very reasonably priced. Staff very attentive, well done to Di and her team. Head Chef Richard and his team have certainly made a huge impact. We will be back.

New to the area and after visiting House of Marbles and the Old Pottery for lunch many times, decided to try their evening "Fine Dining"We were not disappointed, the daytime Cafe became the restaurant with candles and tablecloths which changed the ambience! Small menu but enough for our taste. House wine by the carafe a good price and a readonable wine list. The starters were worth waiting for. The whole experience was timed beautifully and our belly pork main was fantastic. Too full for dessert but they looked good too. We will return when we are able to bring guests from another household! In the meantime, good luck and I hope the local area continues to support you!

Visited today for lunch. Great menu food choice and drink choices. Very clean and very friendly staff. Lunch was very nice and highly recommended also great if you love marbles!!!

Have been coming here for years. The breakfast is always very good. Great produce and always a “clean” plate....not greasy/burnt etc. Staff very friendly. Hopefully will carry on coming for a few more years!

This little restaurant is a hidden gem the staff are great and the food is really nice we all enjoyed it.nice atmosphere.we will return

Been visiting for years and staff always friendly. Great choice on menu and plenty of good quality food available.Cakes and desserts, soups. meals and snacks.Have occasional coach parties which can lead to queues and a little waiting time or lack of tables.Have outdoor seating and play area for kids. House of Marbles have glass blowing/making and some unusual gifts and toys.

We have been regular visitors to The House of Marbles for many years and never been disappointed. My husband and I have just had the Christmas menu which unfortunately we both felt was really disappointing. The main meal was very bland and tasteless, not everyone likes red cabbage, the few carrots & sprouts looked as if they where someone else’s left overs. I had lemon pavlova for pudding which was miniscal. Not a cheap meal by any means and not your usual standard. We and several other customers thought the staff didn’t seem to have any leadership as they where all over the place and so young ?We will be back again but perhaps not at Christmas.

Had a excellent lunch at the old potterry restaurant with family recently.The atmosphere is quite nice and resides within the grounds of the old facility.Service was very good ,and anything requested was available.The food itself was very good ,as my wife and I had steak and ale pies (some of the best Ive had while in the Uk) and my father inlaw had a wonderful pork medallion dish which was delicious.All in all a great day.

Been to house of marbles loads if times before but never to the cafe. Very plesantly surprised! Fantastic customer service, had a restaurant feel. Had the soup of the day, for only £6 got a huge bowl of soup and bread. Cranberry juice was lovely and plentiful. We went back for cake and tea later, the cake/dessert potions are also huge! Great atmosphere and felt very welcome with the babies.

We just had a look at the marbles museum and decided to eat there. I had chicken mango salad which was bit spicy but of a good taste. Fish and chips were delicious and wine (red chardonay) too. Would recommend it. They offer daily menus, 3 of them. You‘ll find some gluten free food there. Staff was very friendly, ambient very calm and welcoming.

We usually go here at least once a month for one of their excellent breakfast so to go for lunch was a new treat. Could not fault the choices, quality and service. Prices for cafetières and soft drinks are very reasonable with an excellent choice. It was also very difficult to make a choice from the range on the menu. As usual there are a number of specials and we ended up choosing two of those - salmon based fish cake and chicken wrapped in bacon. Both extremely good and with accompanying salads and potatoes that were equally tasty. Followed up with an exquisite chocolate brownie that was not too sweet. Prices very reasonable.

We managed to bag a table just before the lunchtime rush, and were really pleased we did.Our food was really, really lovely. Freshly cooked to order and piping hot. Lots of choice, and the puddings looked amazing although we didn’t have room after our huge lunch.The pastry on the Homity Pie was some of the best I have ever had. Yum!Definitely give this place a go, but if you’re visiting the House of Marbles first, it is worth popping in and asking to reserve a table.

Love this place last visited 8 years ago hasn’t changed great standard of food no matter what you have.we had cheesy chips Super and garlic mushrooms with spinach,ricotta and sour dough bread toasted which was superb.well worth a visit.

My husband and two friends and myself decided to go out for breakfast recently and chose The Old Pottery Restaurant and how glad we were that we did. A really great choice of breakfasts. We ladies had sourdough with avocado and poached eggs and the English breakfast for the chaps. Unlimited cups of coffee and tea and friendly attentive service with the excellent food made for a really good breakfast. We’ll definitely be going back.

Three of us went for brunch on Mother’s Day. Despite being busy, they were still very accommodating. We liked that we could ‘build’ our own brunch, thereby we had what we wanted, not what was given us. It came with a glass of orange juice and coffee/tea, with ad lib top ups. The food was beautifully cooked, and there was a basket of toast. Altogether a great experience!

Arriving with our daughter, two granddaughters (2 yrs and 4 weeks) we were very happy with our table tucked into the corner. A high chair was produced as if by magic. Hubby chose "Fish & Chips" which he declared to be excellent, my daughter had a vegetarian burger from the specials board and I had the beef chilli from the specials board. My daughter and I were both pleased with our choices. Our 4 week old granddaughter dozed peacefully on the table while we ate!

I drove three of my friends to The Old Pottery restaurant for a surprise lunch during the week. We were shown to our table by a very friendly staff member. There is quite a varied menu, a specials board and a small selection of light bites and children’s portions. I had the chicken and bacon salad which at £11 was a joke. Two strips of fatty bacon, three tiny pieces of chicken, many salad leaves and a minuscule amount of cucumber and tomatoes. Not good at all. Two of the others had the Snooki burger which came with fries, huge onion rings, coleslaw with the burger on ciabatta bread. Looked amazing but the burgers were almost impossible to cut. Coffee was good though. Unfortunately our lunch was also cut short as we were all too cold to sit there any longer. Shame.

An excellent place to take your family or partner, but prices are high. Good food with many choices.

We come here about once a month for breakfast and this is the best around. The initial hot drinks and juices are always tasty and fresh whilst the breakfasts themselves are full of quality local ingredients. The accompanying toast and preserves are always excellent. The service is very friendly and efficient with frequent top ups of hot drinks . Well worth a visit.
