Pot Belly in Banbridge

On arrival we were greeted by the owner and made to feel so welcome. He made a point of even welcoming our service dog as well. The establishment is spotlessly clean and the decor is beautiful. The food is pure heaven and the servers are so friendly. Any allergies are noted and food adapted to your needs. Overall a really great dining experience and will definitely return.

I booked this restaurant for my Wife's birthday, a family of 8 (6 adults and 2 children). Even though when I first called to make the reservation, there was no answer I was pleasantly surprised to shortly afterwards receive a call back, which I thought was a great touch, excellent customer service. Communication was great prior to our attendance and all requirements were catered for. The waiting staff were excellent and the food was superb, not a single complaint, all starters and mains (to full for dessert) were 10/10

We decided to celebrate Valentines night at the Pot Belly as it's an old favourite of ourselves and we hadn't been there for a while so we went for the Valentines special menu. The restaurant has been redecorated since our last visit and looked really good. We had our starters of crispy chicken strips with noodles and spicy sauce which was excellent and my wife had the goat's cheese salad with walnuts and beetroot that she really enjoyed. For our main course she went for her favourite of Pot Belly chicken with roast vegetables and I went for the salmon Wellington which was a good portion that I struggled to finish. The dessert was a trio of profiteroles cheesecake and chocolate tart that capped a really enjoyable meal. The Pot Belly has kept its charm and great service over the years and we really enjoyed our visit.

We visited the Pot Belly for the first time on Sun 3 Dec as we had a birthday voucher and wanted to try it out. Arrived in the dark and the place looked lovely, with the lights and inside the decor was cosy and warm. We had looked up the Sunday Menu beforehand but were given a set menu and we were told the other menu wasn't available. The menu had one set price for all three courses at £34.95 but wasn't priced for 1 or two courses so we asked if we could just have a main course each. We were told that was fine but not the price. I ordered the lamb roast and my husband the turkey roast. Both meals were really tasty albeit not the warmest but we both enjoyed them. We were a bit surprised to get the bill and the main was £24.95 which we felt was a bit steep considering the lamb roast on the Sunday menu online was £18.95. We didn't say anything at the time as we had enjoyed our food and didn't want to argue about but but I do feel that they put the arm in a bit and being our first visit, this was the impression that I was left with. I would like to go back and hopefully rethink my impression so will hopefully visit again.

Fabulous lunch; great service & lovely environment. Would certainly recommend . Really lovely way to start Xmas festivities.

A return to the pot belly now that indoor dining has resumed.Very well set out to comply with covid restrictions. Order for drinks was taken very quickly and promptly served. Shortly after we were able to place our order with the attentive staff, despite the venue being at capacity.Both our starters and mains were excellent, we did not have a dessert. We also enjoyed a decent bottle of wine from the restaurants cellar.All in all a very good experience and covid restrictions did not impinge on the meal.

Myself and my wife together with another couple had dinner in Pot Belly on Saturday evening. Everything was superb from our greeting, to having drinks in new outside bar which felt most comfortable and safe, to our beautiful meal. Service was excellent, food excellent , covid measures left us with absolutely nothing to worry about...a truly lovely relaxed evening!!

I agree totally with Lyle. Could not fault the food or location,but so many different people served us it lacked a personal touch. Will be back though as love the venue.

Really wanted this place to be good. Bottom line it’s not Food average and overpriced Staff and management laughable I won’t be back

Overpriced Disgusting food and rude staff. I was seriously ill after eating here. Avoid at all costs. Toilets filthy. Dirt on table and floor were we sat. Shocking place.

We are just home from a wonderful evening at the Pot Belly. We have said for months about trying here and we are so glad that we did. From first arrival to the end, the meal and service was fantastic. We were greeted at the door by a lovely gentleman and shown inside to our table - what a lovely welcoming to the start of our evening.We opted for starters and main courses and can not fault any that we received. I had the steak which was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and seasoned well and my husband the burger which he was raving about.We both work in the hospitality industry as a restaurant manager and a chef and find it very hard to find a restaurant which we both enjoy however the pot belly exceeded our high expectations. Thank you to everyone working this evening for a wonderful experience and we both can’t wait to return.

Very poor experience due to a rude and ill mannered man who insulted attacked and harassed a family out for a birthday celebration. The owner - after 30 people finished a three course meal - decided to take offence to a few members of the group going out the door to the smoking area. Apparently the rules and guidelines were not being followed by our party. However the manager greeting the public had no PPE equipment. No staff had masks or face coverings. There was one sanitisation station in the whole restaurant. The stairs were unmanned throughout the night. And worst of all we were a group with many older members who are sick and classed as vulnerable and the Pot Belly broke the law by allowing other customers into our dining area constantly through the evening to go to the bathroom. I counted seven incidents when other visitors went through our group and were not socially distanced. The Pot Belly should be reported for this beach of public health agency regulations. However we as patrons broken no rules and he was simply being inconsiderate and unreasonable - there were 2 children under the age of 8 at 5.30pm in the evening. I don’t think he liked kids. When confronted - he was unapproachable and had a very poor attitude. This was supposed to be a lovely family celebration but this man Brian has ruined a family get together with young and old. We have been going to the pot belly since I was a child and celebrated many occasions there. This will be the last. With the covid pandemic most businesses are delighted with the local business and support. I would urge anyone thinking of going here to reconsider. Simply because you will not feel welcome by the owner. He is rude nasty and has an inability to have a mature conversation about the failings in his establishment. The food was mediocre and not worth the price. Bland plain small portions and watery unsalted veg. The only saving grace was Philip the manager and staff including Cara and Eleanor. I explained the situation to Philip and he couldn’t do anything - I fear Brian may rule with an old fashioned iron fist. There’s plenty of places out there you can go to for a nice meal and a drink better than here where the owner will be happy to see you. But not at the pot belly. Given the nature of this pathetic excuse for a man I await his reply - probably factually incorrect and full of inaccuracies and finger pointing. Remember we were a party of 30- everyone saw how he behaved and the type of little man he truly is. Sad times that the Pot Belly in our opinion is now closed. If he continues this way I imagine it won’t be long until it actually is!

Booked the Pot Belly for my wife's birthday. Co-incidentally was on a Wednesday evening -the first week of the Governments£10 scheme! Directed to the restaurant by a very pleasant man and then inside staff took us to our table which was suitably distanced from others. Meal-wise, I had the Pot Belly Burger and my wife had a chicken dish. Should say that we opted for the three course menu! Starters, main course and desserts all excellent. As they say in Star Trek- "It is a burger Jim, but not as we know it!"Three courses plus a few glasses of wine and a coffee for around £50- excellent food and excellent value. We will be back.

Had a fantastic delicious meal at the Pot Belly sun 2/08/20On arrival a warm greeting and under virus restrictions showed directly to our tablePot belly mushrooms delicious followed by salmon fillet cream mash and fresh vegetables Dessert was almong/pear tart with custard A very pleasant and delicious meal with ample portions Highly recommend Pot Belly for a dining experience Excellent staff courteous and extremely efficientWell done everybody

This is our favourite restaurant in Northern Ireland, we love the food, staff and experience. You order your drinks and meal upstairs in the lounge then go downstairs when your meal is ready! Just something different that I like about this place. We get steak every time, cooked to perfection. You are always greeted through the door by well trained staff, it’s quite a posh restaurant (they refer to you as sir and madam), you can tell the owner really cares about the reputation & he also gets involved with serving customers which I think is so lovely to see, so down to ear. We have got served by him a number of times, and we always tell him how much we love coming :) it is on the pricey side so we only come on special occasions but I would say that it’s worth the extra cash! Thank you Pot Belly!

Really loved my recent visit, beautiful atmosphere all outdoor but protected from the rain, heaters, food was incredible. As well as staff wearing PPE and appropriate distancing. Will be back. Such a great effort for making people feel more comfortable getting back to eating out.

We booked this restaurant on 7th February 2020. The reservation was accepted by a male whom we believe was the manager. He confirmed all the details including our contact telephone number and commented he would see us on the night. This reservation was for 4 people on 26th February at 7.30 pm. We duly arrived in 2 separate cars to find the place almost deserted apart from a vehicle parked awkwardly close to the front door. We parked and as we approached the door we were met by a male whose voice my wife recognised as the person who took our booking. He informed us they were closed, yet he was there on his own and appeared to be waiting on us. He then blatantly denied we had ever made a reservation but offered us a bottle of wine on our next visit. This was very embarrassing for us in front of friends. I can not comment on the standard of food, but given the condescending attitude of this staff member and his propensity to avoid the truth, this is not an establishment worthy of any type of support. He can rest assured we will not be taking him up on the offer of a bottle of wine. Good manners cost nothing. We will never be back and would encourage other to stay away.

Daughter ordered Mexican enchilada from the vegetarian menu, found half a cocktail sausage inside....enough said..

Called in without booking and was very warmly welcomed. I chose the small dinner 1slice of roast beef and veg. Very nice but in hindsight I should have ordered the larger portion ordered creme bridle for desert but they had none disappointed as it was early lunch. 1single Gordon's gin and white lemonade cost £8. But steep I thought

I was at the Pot Belly last night in a party of 6. The atmosphere in the bar and restaurant was Christmassy and very nice. Our meal was excellent (for everyone). Everyone said it was one of the best meals they have had in years. The restaurant was full but again the service was brilliant. The staff were most attentive and helpful. All in all, it was a wonderful evening in the Pot Belly. Would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys good food.

Had lunch here today as a Xmas treat. Food was awful, scampi was cheap, frozen variety, mainly consisting of thick, soggy breadcrumbs. My friend had salmon that was served with lumpy carrot mash and wrinkly peas instead of the balsamic roast veg stated on the menu (and a hair also, but no extra charge for that!) Informed waitress at point of paying, as no-one asked before that! This was to be reported to the kitchen but despite waiting, no-one came to offer any explanation. Was thinking of getting vouchers here for family Xmas presents, so glad I tried first before I bought.

I enjoyed a family lunch at the Pot Belly last Sunday. The warm and cosy atmosphere was most welcome on a very wintery afternoon. I had a delicious fillet steak which was cooked ‘medium’ as I requested. The accompanying vegetables were very tasty. Portions are large so there’s no need to order many extras. For dessert I chose the fruit pavlova which was delicious and the helping was large enough for 2 people. The prices are very reasonable and the whole dining experience was very enjoyable.

I attended with a party of 25. We had a memorable time at The Pot Belly. It was warm and cosy, very busy, parking was tight. It has been years since I’ve been. We had the most delicious Sunday lunch! I opted for the Salmon, The Roast Beef was served to a number in our group along with the Chicken. A vegetarian option of Curry was also on the menu. Plenty of seasonal vegetables, roast potatoes and trimmings. Desserts didn’t disappoint! All freshly made ... Pavlova, Crumble with Apple and Blackberry and Creme Fresh and the Snickers Ice Cream was a hit with the young members in the party. We certainly will be back! I suggest you book .... it’s a popular spot and reasonably priced!

Where to start? We got married here August 29th 2019 and it was by far the best day of our lives. not just because we got married but because the day ran just as we imaginedPhilip and his team were professional, slick and attentive. from day 1 of planning nothing was impossible, we were listened to and all our needs were met. the food was INCREDIBLE. the venue was rustic, romantic and spotlessly clean with added touches of elegance brought just for us. the service was second to none. if you are thinking of this venue for your special day I would 100% recommend it over all else. Thank you Philip for all your hard work in ensuring we had the best day of our lives! 10/10

Let me explain!We have been diners at the Pot Belly for more years than I would care to admit - it's always been a family favourite. So much so my son had his wedding reception there a few years back.Throughout all that time, Joanne [who is no longer there] was a consistent star of the showSo when deciding to treat some special friends out for a 'thank-you' meal, the obvious choice was Pot Belly which we did last Saturday nightLet me say up front. It's still a great place, good vibe and amazing food - truly amazing!However, and here comes the disappointing bit.The restaurant last Saturday was manned by almost entirely a team of young people, clearly still quite new to the job. They were reserved, polite and, for the most part, efficient. What frustrated me as in any restaurant, was the fact that we were served by so many servers - making it impossible to develop any sort of rapport.There was a 'senior' lady on duty and she was good but was seldom at our table. I also found the 'duty manager' to be somewhat off-ishSo what I'm saying is that whilst we enjoyed the Pot Belly as a restaurant and the food was great, there was a very distinct lack of warmth, personality, rapport, call it what you will from the staff on duty. Being less 'officious' would have made made a big difference.Will we be back? YES!! But do hope management gets to work on the 'personableness' of the staff.

Have known adout this restaurant for a long time as live only 10 min away but not it's location,well thanks to Google we dined here today (review said only place me and partner agree on)and thank God we searched as I get the point of review,you need a good chef and butcher (we are both carnivores)and you score high on both counts,I rang to book around 16.45pm and had 3 courses and was out just after 18.00hrs your waiting staff do just that they don't annoy you every few mins and this is 4* service thank you will be back soon with the whole family

So glad we found this place tucked away in some of the most picturesque pastures in Northern Ireland. It’s an intimate setting with an amazing menu. I had the goat cheese tart and it stunned! It feels both upscale and cozy at once with great service.

The three of us had a meal here last night (Saturday 29th June). It was just a lovely evening from start to finish. The rain held off and on a This was a place to which I had wanted to return for a long, long time. As we set out on our adventure, I found myself wondering if we would still find our destination as easily as we had that first time all those many many year ago. But find it we did. As the car cleared under the tree branches, there it was, as unchanged as the very first time my eyes set upon it all those years ago.

Went here with family for Sunday lunch on fathers day. The normal sunday lunch is £20 but on this occasion it was £30 for 3 course and £14.50 for children for exactly the same menu as normal. Th food and service were average and when we inquired about a tea or coffee at the end we were informed that it would be an extra cost.This is after we had spent over £200. Nice enough place, but is driven by greed.

Visited the Pot Belly for couples night out - very busy night close to Christmas but from start to finish a very pleasant experience - very friendly staff - beautiful meal and despite restaurant being fully booked all went very smooth - cannot wait to go back

We were very well looked after by the host who also explained the history of the building. We ordered whilst having cocktails and were invited to our table when the meal was ready to serve. The meal was a bit expensive, but excellent. I would love to go again, but our schedule does not permit.

Good food and service. I can't fault the place. I'm there at least once a week and I've never had a worry or complaint.

Staff very friendly and willing to get answers for any questions or query.

The Pot Belly restaurant is in a rural location on the road between Banbridge and Gilford.

It had been many years from I had been to the Pot Belly and the food is as good as always. We were a group of 4. Two had perfectly cooked fillet steak one lamb and I had daube of beef which was glorious melt in the mouth. We had desert with roulade, pear and almond tart and Brandy basket with snickers ice cream being our choices all very nice. We also had a few glasses of red and white wine. The service was really good without being intrusive.

Excellent service from arrival all the way through our meal, staff friendly and food was delicious. Good value for quality dining in style to suit the wide age range in our group. Have been many times before and will definitely be back again, highly recommend.

Out of the way to a startling degree but well worth the visit the Pot Belly is one of the higher end restaurants in the area and worth the cost. Entrance is - a tad confusingly - via the upstairs door (think two tiered Swiss chalet) where you wait in a beautiful lounge area - all plush sofas and comprehensive Gin menu. Frankly arrive early and spend some extra time here, well worth it. Dining after ordering is down stairs in more traditional mahogany and white walls surrounds. Staff are polished and very professional. The food is splendid - a mix of traditional presented with just enough panache to distinguish it. Quantities could be a bit more generous - especially on the starters (not enough bread for example) - but not outrageously minimal.

We visited Pot Belly for Sunday late lunch. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was really tasty with portions bigger than I could handle, so my husband kindly helped me out. Kids meal went down well, so will probably return in the future.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere.Very comfortable furniture on which to sit while studying the menu and having an initial drink.

Good service. But very average quality of food. The beef in particular was extremely tough, to the point of being inedible. Other dishes were mediocre at best. Could get better pub food at a fraction of the price. Overall, very poor value for money. Definitely not a place we’ll be returning to.

again did not disappoint - very pleasant evening - friendly and attentive staff - varied menu and very comfortable surroundings - nice to revisit again and good that standard is being maintained - definitely worth a visit

Service very good . Food just ok. Rather disappointing sadly. Overpriced and not very tasty. Won’t rush back.

Lovely restaurant and lovely food. No complaints Whatsoever. Would certainly go back.sraff very welcoming

Very nice atmosphere on a quiet night. Our meals were very tasty and well priced on the Early bird menu. My roast beef was served with a superb rich gravy and my friends were delighted with their curry and the house special stuffed chicken. Staff were well trained, polite and unobtrusive. Finished off with Irish coffee. Will be returning soon.

Had a fantastic evening in this warm and cosy restaurant with friends.The food was excellent as well as the service.Definitely a good choice.

We normally as a rule don’t go out on Valentine’s night because we have found that standards slip on such occasions, however this year we made an exception and went to the Pot Belly Restaurant. From the second we walked in we were greeted in the most friendly and welcoming manner. We were offered menus and had a drinks order taken straight away. We were able to relax in the quaint and comfortable surroundings until our table was ready. When the food arrived it was exceptional. Every course was absolutely delicious, portions were generous and the waiting staff were superb. If you haven’t been to the Pot Belly I highly recommend you do. It is outstanding.

Great menu. We had started & main meal with sides. Went for 40th birthday. Highly recommend Pot belly is in a lovely setting.

I had checked out menu before visiting first thing that struck me was it was expensive for basic menu choices eg burger and chips £16 . When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised . Firstly decor is lovely and homely . when the food arrived it was amazing . I had Salmon and it was sooo fresh . desserts were truly amazing completely made from scratch . Worth the money ? Not sure . Possibly, food excellent but prices would put me off returning in the near future . Oh and another small thing , the heat was uncomfortable. but all in all was pleaseantly surprised by standard of food .

I loved it , the place is very warm and welcoming, and even know I was two hours late , they were amazing and obviously I loved the food ... I will be back this time on time and it will be for a romantic dinner, the place is very romantic too so I have to go back on a date night

This is one of the best places to eat in Northen Ireland , great quality food and excellent service , the up stairs bars has a great atmosphere and such a relaxing spot , they even take you drinks to your table for you hen you table is ready ( never lose this part of the service it makes you stand out for the rest ) Food is really good and as a great range for all tastes. The employees are all lovely caring people and treat you with kindness especially towards the children in our party.

I went to the pot belly on 8th December with 55 others for our gym Christmas night out. We were very warmly welcomed and well looked after by both Brian and Phillip and all the bar staff before heading downstairs for our meal. We were given the main dining room and given a complimentary glass of fizz which was a lovely touch..thank you the food was outstanding - hot and extremely tasty and the waiting staff were outstanding also attending to our every needs. We then returned upstairs to the bar where entertainment was provided and again we were well looked after by all the bar staff and didn’t feel the need to go anywhere else as the atmosphere was great. I have always loved the pot belly and was a little nervous about arranging this for so many people but I needn’t have been as everyone had a great night and thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Many thanks again to all the staff - I would recommend to anyone.

There's an Early Bird menu on their Web site but it wasn't offered. Looks as if there's a Christmas menu as well but seems as if we didn't mention the special code word.

three of us had a business lunch on 13th December

Had a meal here at weekend beautiful food beautiful setting and excellent staff Can’t fault in any way

Went with friends for birthday meal....the car park is so muddy and dirty...inside was lovely but the prices on the menu are far far too expensive. None of the mains come with a side order so it works out very costly for what you get..would rather go elsewhere and get much better value for money...

Food was lovely however the service of the staff in the restaurant left a lot to be desired. We had to continually ask for drinks, there was no water offered for the table. After waiting a considerable amount of time for our bill my partner went to get the attention of a staff member who were all talking, two staff members came towards our table and completely ignored us, disappointing service.

We had roast beef for lunch. It was delicious. Very attentive staff. Really fabulous decor and ambiance. We will be back for dinner.

Had an opportunity to have lunch here and was very pleased at the quality of the food. Everything was seasoned well and very fresh, well thought out menu, that was executed perfectly. Service was pleasant and menu knowledge was very good.

While waiting in the upstairs bar area to be seated in the restaurant. We were very shocked to see a woman changing her baby's nappy in full view of everyone! Even though the ladies toilet is only a few steps away! Not the best appetizer!

Took mother out for her birthday 🍰 Had a lovely roast dinner Such a large tasty dinner Had no room for pudding.

Went with work colleagues, 25 in fact... food ok but had just as good in local chippy... over priced, staff lovely..but manager abrupt especially when a member of party had drink removed from table... young staff member was going to sort this but was prevented from doing so by the manager who rudely pointed to another table where empty glasses had been placed... not be back and definitely not recommend to others or friends

Great place. We called in on the way home from Markethill and were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. The lunch menu was great - a decent range of options - and they had a good quality kids' menu as well. The portions were substantial- my eyes were bigger than my own small pot belly so we took a fair bit home in tinfoil! We will definitely be back.

We were there for a meal with 4 other couples on a Friday night and the atmosphere and service was excellent. Great seating area before and after dinner meant we could all talk to each other comfortably. Very attentive service and the food lived up to all of our high expectations. We’ll be back soon!

Enjoyed a wonderful family get together at the Pot Belly, we received a very warm welcome as we walked through the door, staff were attentive, polite and service was excellent, we were a party of 13 and shown to a warm comfortable seated area to browse the varied menu and order drinks. Once at our table the, food was served promptly and was excellent, portion size was generous, everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty without exception - I would highly recommend a visit to the Pot Belly and will be returning without a doubt

Went here for meal with my husband on a busy Saturday evening. Got a really lovely welcome,drinks and menus straight away. Fantastic menu, and when food arrived it was absolutely gorgeous. Excellent service also. Couldn't fault a single thing. Can't wait to return and without doubt would highly recommend to anyone.

Just home after a lovely meal in the pot belly. The food was tasty and well presented. I liked the fact there was no salad to fill up the plate and presentation was excellent. Staff friendly and efficient. The whisky sours was well worth the try.........We will be back. Thanks to all concerned.

We visited here on Saturday night past for our Anniversary. We were greeted upstairs by the staff and were shown to a table to browse the menu. After ordering our food we were shown to our table in the restaurant and our starters arrived shortly afterwards. Our meals were delicious and just the right portion size. I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert of white chocolate cheesecake, just wish i could have finished it all. I was impressed by our first visit to the Pot Belly and would return again.

My friend and I were looking forward to a lovely evening and meal after work. As we were both driving we decided on a celebratory non- alcholic cocktail.. was nice though we weren't asked what flavour we preferred. No, do you like citrus/berry/ ginger.

Yet again, the Pot Belly Restaurant did not disappoint us for our lunch. The Sunday Lunch was lovely. would highly recommend the Prawn Cocktail and Roast Beef. Even the seasonal veg was beautiful.

Brilliant evening spent here for my daughters 21st in may. The food was excellent we had steaks and the were cooked to perfection and the side were fantastic too. The service was great with helpful friendly staff. The man in charge not sure if he’s the owner but he’s always welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable. We will always return to Pot Belly. Love this place.

Husband and I visited this evening, everything was excellent.... food was delicious, all staff very friendly, nothing seemed to be a bother to any of them. Nice atmosphere. After our meal we sat outside for a while and relaxed for a bit. We are already planning our return visit.

I visited this lovely spot on a very wet day in July as part of an 80th birthday meal. Easy to miss as it is set back off the road down a lane.

A hidden gem of a restaurant which is easy to drive by. Busy place which is always a good sign.

Comimos fenomenal, nos atendieron estupendamente, y el sitio es precioso, un viejo molino restaurado. Recomendable 100 por cien.

I just love this restaurant. Both management and staff are lovely and nothing is ever too much hassle. I love their Sunday lunch menu, 3 courses for less than £20pp. The quality and presentation of food is 5 star. I highly recommend and it's a must to book,especially at weekends

Found this charming restaurant by complete accident whilst visiting the area and it turned out to be a real hidden gem.

Really lovely to get such a warm welcome through the door & drinks order taken straight away & talked through the menu. Very welcoming & great way to start! Cocktails were good & nice wine list too. Our food was superb would recommend the pate & lamb although the pot belly chicken also went down very well! Great dining experience & can’t wait to go back.

Recently visited Pot Belly Gilford with good friends and although we had a great nights craic, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the meal. This is a place we first visited 40 years ago and is one of my favourite venues in Northern Ireland . I had the duck salad to start followed by the linguine with chicken and would have to say that it was only just average. Also, the only lager available on tap was Coors Light, definitely not my favourite! Maybe I picked the wrong meal?

This is a mixed review as for myself I was disappointed by the lack of options for coelic and dairyfree options. I had also phoned ahead to ask if they catered for these before booking so no awkwardness ensured on arrival especially as there with a table full of us. The only options were: Starter soup with gf bread, main: Lamb with difference gravy, Roast Beef or steak (I dont eat beef so lamb was my only choice) and dessert had no options. However the lamb was tasty.

We went here for Sunday Lunch. Had a beautiful lunch and it was great value.The staff where friendlyand very attentive.

We went for a nice meal night out to the Pot Belly. From entering the building you are treated to good service from the staff. Around the walls are the evening cocktail and drink offers and of course the special meals for the evening. When the food is ready the waiter helps bring your drinks and escorts to the table.

We have been hear a number of times over the years and have always found the food to be excellent. The setting is lovely and the staff well informed, friendly yet professional and welcoming. No pressure to leave at the end of the meal - very relaxing. We will return.

We went here for a family birthday meal and it was great food and great value. The servers were excellent and I really like the way you sit upstairs to drink and order and are then taken down to your table.

Went for a retirement dinner with colleagues past and present. Staff were attentive but discreet and the room was beautifully set out. As for the food... it was amazing. Presentation was fabulous, taste and flavour were stunning and there was more than enough to satisfy everyone. It made for a truly spectacular end to an esteemed colleague's career. I will definitely be back again

Went for a retirement party to the Pot Belly restaurant with friends from work. Staff were really helpful and accomodating. We had a room to ourselves and they allowed us to hang bunting. They displayed the cake and flowers for us. They catered quickly and efficiently for a crowd getting all food to tables hot and on time. Staff were friendly and helpful always asking if we needed more of anything. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was of a very high standard with all three courses plus tea or coffee costing approximately £25 per head. Beautiful atmosphere and we were able to stay and chat for as long as we wanted. Would definitely recommend a visit to the Pot Belly in the future.

Have been here a lot of times and never been disappointed. They have a large pot belly stove which they keep lite in the dining room very welcom on a cold winter's day outside summer seating and a lovely garden setting. Staff always very friendly...

Lovely evening, great reception area to get a drink and wait for everyone to arrive. Drink order was taken quickly and when we all landed taken down to a warm comfortable area for our meal. The food was great could not have asked for better!...

On Sunday 18 February I booked a table for 2 at 13.30. On arrival we waited to be seated. After a few minutes we were seated and given a menu. After several I hailed another to order drinks and attempted to place a food order....

We booked a table for 2 for a Saturday evening, no problems and arrived around 5.30 to a nice atmosphere, not too full, not too empty. Drinks first and exchanged pleasantries with our host, observed he chatted extensively to those regular customers who obviously enjoy...

Sunday visit with family. If I’m spending £35 a head on 2 courses, soft drinks and no alcohol then it should be better. Pop music, paper napkins, poor heating, babies crying and poorly trained staff. Food was just ok. Whoever is in charge of this...

Food excellent All parties present enjoyed the food however service was rushed When the door opened it was so cold

A pleasure to have dinner at this old mill converted to a gorgeous restaurant again. Superb service, cosy atmosphere and delicious food.

Beautiful restaurant, on walking in the door we had a lovely warm welcome from Brian. I enquired about different kinds of a particular drink and he was very knowledgeable . Lovely ambience of the upstairs lounge, old worldy and comfy. We went downstairs for our...

I have been here many times and have only got round to doing a review. The food is excellent, service is good and the staff are very helpful menu is for everyone. Sunday lunch is extremely good. Worth a visit

14 family and friends went to Pot Belly for New Year's Eve. The food and service was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble for Brian and his staff. Everyone had a great night. Will go back soon.

Fantastic atmosphere. Very kind, professional and warm staff. Delicious food and very well-presented. Totally recommended.

Went without checking menu. Arrived to realize poor selection for vegetarians. Asked staff if they could make us something vegetarian. For starters had brie, excellent for main course we had Mexican enchiladas. Again cooked perfect with the right amount of spice. Staff very friendly. Place in remote beautiful location. Worth a visit.

Had a lovely Xmas lunch today with my 3 sisters and relative. The Pot Belly stove was very welcoming on such a sharp cold day. We had a lovely round table which meant we could chat easily. The menus was varied including the Xmas fare. The service as usual is exceptional and it is lovely to see that the son of a lovely lady who once managed the Pot Belly is now working there and he is indeed carrying on the same welcoming manner that his mum had. She would be so proud of him!! The owner,Brian, gave us some lovely chocolates which we opened with our coffee/tea and needless to say there were none left by the time we were to leave. Thank you to all the staff and Merry Xmas.

Loved this place. A bit expensive but I'd really recommend it for a luxury treat at Christmas. Service was fabulous and the food was really excellent. Would save up to go again! Really worth it!

My first 5 star review..everything from atmosphere, service, to quality of food was excellent..maybe a tad nippy on price but I could justify ..give it a go a nice treat
