Potter Tea Room in North Norfolk

Excellent value for money..friendly staff..clean..pet friendly... well worth a visit.... plenty to choose from on a full, varied menu..

We popped in for a quick breakfast before heading out on the water and we were not disappointed with the breakfast! Great value and lovely genuinely friend staff. Thank you, we will be returning when next up that way.

Great place for a relaxing drink and a light lunch we had our greyhound with us and used the dog friendly part of the cafe on the side of the property very clean and plentiful portions and they do sausages for the dogs and plenty of water bowls didn’t have a cake has was eating out later that afternoon

This cafe is actually called Bridgestones now. Lovely food and nice clean and bright airy restaurant. Friendly staff and good service. My husband had all day breakfast and I had the double decker ham,cheese and pineapple toastie it was delicious. The cakes there are to die for nice big deep ones.

We were picking up a boat on a Friday afternoon, so popped in to the cafe for tea and cakes. It was so good that when we returned the boat on the Monday morning, we had a great breakfast there. All very good.

We went twice to the tea rooms. The first was just for a cup of coffee. We sat at a table and they gave a few minutes before they came for the order, The drinks were served very quicky. The staff were very pleasant and were smiling, even though it was late in the day. The second visit was just after they opened, and we went in for breakfast. Again, we sat at a table and they came for the order a few minutes later. The drinks arrived quickly and the breakfast arrived shortly after. Nicely presented and not sitting in grease. The staff again were pleasant and even at that time in the morning had a smile. Their cakes looked very tempting but we resisted.

I can't believe I was charged £5.25 for a sausage and small chips, my chin nearly hit the floor. I didn't even get what I paid for as you can see by the photo!

Stopped here for a late lunch. It was a hot day so we wanted to eat outside but the outdoor seating area was full of dog owners and their pets. We therefore opted for take away fish and chips. Big mistake. I was eventually given 2 paper parcels with no condiments or disposable cutlery. I was told to cross the dogs to find some, but only salt was available - and no further help was forthcoming. This was disastrous as the fish was old and dry and the chips were positively scratty. Lots of vinegar might have made the food almost edible. I'm the event, they were the worst fish and chips that I have ever tried to eat.

Very nice food and staff. Long wait to order at the till because there is a bottleneck as the lady has to stop to make coffee etc. I think this issue needs to be looked at as I queued for 20 minutes to order and I was 6th in the queue ... but it did prove to be worth the wait.

Potter Tea Room Potter Heigham Terribly Disappointed 821789679 After reading reviews we decided to stop over and try this place out. The “Cleanliness” table and hygiene made us feel comfortable but that was short-lived when we had to ask for our table surface to ge cleaned of old food. What was served as “coffee black” was a total joke and probably the worst cup of black coffee I have ever had anywhere. Dishwater would be more like it. Food arrived - my wife had to send hers back as the plate it was served on was obviously never washed but had been wiped. Lean and old good grime was still visible on the plate rim. My Chilli-Con-Carne arrived with human hair included - DISGUSTING so far. In last hope we ordered the “Full-Milk hot chocolate with additional cream and marshmallows- what a joke - Cadbury’s Hot Chocolate- 70% water, 4 minute marshmallows (extra 60p). Overall value for money was shocking. Cleanliness and hygiene absolutely pathetic. However throughout the ordeal the staff were very friendly and apologetic. Give it a miss!

What a lovely little cafe. Wonderful staff and the food was amazing too. The cakes are homemade and some of the best we’ve ever tasted. Going as a family of 4 with a 2 year old and 3 month old is never easy but they made us feel welcomed and very well looked after. My wife even got an offer of reheating her food as they noticed she’s been stuck breastfeeding for a little while, that’s never happened before. Gestures like that go a long way and meant a lot to us. They were packed throughout the time we were there but they were absolutely brilliant with us all and seemed to be enjoying their work too. So happy and friendly. The roast was lovely and so filling. And I would highly recommend the double decker toastie! Never seen one before (and we do enjoy a meal out) but it was a revelation. I’m sure in the summer months this place is packed all day everyday, but we will definitely try to be back soon.

We stopped off here whilst on holiday and used the takeaway section only. Very pleasant and reasonable prices. I looked into the tea rooms and it was extremely busy but it was school half term.

Went first for takeaway coffee. The lady serving was really nice and helpful, so 5 of us called back later for dinner. A young man took our order, got my 86 year old mother a brolly( it was a red hot day, and the outside section is when trap) and was mega helpful. The food was delicious and my steak and ale pie was the best I have had in a long time. Service once again was friendly and helpful. Will definitely eat there again next time we visit.

Eaten here before, quite nice. Visited last weekend as my Wife really wanted a cream tea as advertised on the outside. This local place was our choice, as both this, and the chain next door offered cream teas. Told need 24hrs notice for a cream tea???? WTF???? This is passing trade? And what takes the P is what actually takes 24 hours? The Tea? no. The Scones? No, The cake? No, The sausage roll? No. had all of these on the counter...so has to be making a sandwich... your kidding right? You sell rolls and sandwiches... So you want 24 hours notice for sandwiches to be made in the morning and go stale on the side instead of making them fresh. Really quite disappointed. my wife just had the scone and tea.

First visit for egg & bacon rolls was the day we arrived for our holiday but as we were on a boat we couldn't visit daily. Second visit was at the end of our holiday when we went back for our breakfast rolls again. Friendly staff and good food at a decent price mean we'll be back there next year.

We have been camping near by and found this cafe for breakfast last year and have been back this year . Can’t fault it food great staff friendly . See you next year

Called here twice for lunch and we also had a takeaway sandwich. On each occasion the staff were very very friendly and helpful. The cakes are wonderful and come in huge slices- we shared one between two of us. Coffee is good quality and the sandwiches are excellent. Three visits during the week whilst we enjoyed our boat holiday says everything (see review of Martham Boats because they are great too.

Popped in for a cup of tea, couldn't resist the amazing doughnut muffin, chocolate to the max, so big i couldn't finish it which is very unusual for me, the waitress was so nice and friendly, highly recommended

We bought two cakes to take away and eat later. One slice of carrot cake and one piece of millionaires shortbread. OMG! They were amazing!! I bake myself so I'm a bit of a fusspot eating cakes out but these were delicious. We had to share both of them as the portions were huge but who would complain about that!!

Called today and ordered breakfast in the garden room as we had a dog with us. Decent enough breakfast however dog owners be aware the garden room is considered take out so not eligible for the government eat out to help out scheme.

We visited on a cold, grey day and as we had our dog with us, we used the garden room, specifically set up for dogs and owners. Lovely room very thoughtfully fitted out. You order in the main restaurant from a delicious array of food and a lovely lady brought it round to us. The cake was GORGEOUS! This is a smart, clean, friendly, very well set up Tea Room with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended!

Do full English or continental style breakfasts. They are good value. Also good place for afternoon coffee and cake

Good place for that refreshment stop , plenty to offer drinks snacks and meals. Plenty of seating inside and out.

Stopped in here for a coffee last week, Very pleasant staff, and wonderful coffee, if you are in Potter Heigham and want a drink and or a great slice of cake, stop here! I cannot recomend this place enough.

Excellent coffee and tea, The food looked great but we didn't get to try it due to a long journey home.

After going out on a boat, we stopped here for tea and cake (and a shop) and it was a nice place to take the children. It was ok priced and once again, catered for 15 of us well so can't complain!

Me and my family visited for the first time yesterday and from the moment we stepped in the door they could not have been more welcoming, friendly or accommodating. The lovely lady with blonde hair was ever so friendly and could not have done more for us. She even asked those working in the kitchen to keep an eye out for a table for us, which we just did not expect. They definitely went above and beyond for us from the moment we arrived. We ordered some food and 35 minutes had passed and we had not received it (although they were extremely busy!) so we asked another very friendly waiter how long it would be and within minutes we received it. The waiter then offered us complimentary drinks as a goodwill gesture for our long weight. The customer service was absolutely exemplary and had it been bad we may not have returned with the long weight for food but the service alone speaks for itself. Customer service is key and this place has definitely got it right. As we left we bought some cakes to take away and the man who served us (in a blue shirt) was also very friendly. The food and cakes were amazing and great value for money and we can’t wait to come back. I wish this place great success.

After our party of 2 couples ended our week long boating holiday, we returned our boat to Herbert Woods yard and just had to cross the main road to this cafe. It is very clean, nicely decorated in an almost shabby chic style and has ample room around tables and comfortable seating. Very prompt table service by excellent staff. Plenty of choice and the food was maybe a touch better than average but hot and plentiful.

We arrived at 4.30pm on a sunny Monday hoping for a lovely plate of fish, chips and peas. We were were greeted by - "too late for hot food, tea and cake only" by the person serving who then just turned round and carried on talking to one of her colleagues, at this stage we hadn't even asked for anything or been greated. The cakes looked lovely and we would have purchased a few to take home had the lady have stayed with us to take our order. We and another family behind us left without purchasing anything after being made to feel really quite an irritant rather than welcome. Amazing looking cakes which we assume were probably amazing tasting but service didn't allow for us to find out!

I visited here and ordered breakfast which was very good and the service was good I stopped to look at the cakes and made yet another purchase but the cake was worth every penny even when we dropped boat back to boatyard we called in for more cake.

Keep your eye on the prices here! Tea prices altered on board by hand to £1.85! And coffee £2.60! Couldn't afford the food!

Potter Tea Rooms are a weekly haunt and the locals use this place regularly too. The reason for this is simple, it is excellent.

Been here for breakfast nearly every day for a week(consistently excellent) Good quality food & extremely pleasant atmosphere.....Well done

A visit to the broads would not be complete without a meal in this very popular, and extremely clean restaurant. It was the Friday before August bank holiday, a perfect time to enjoy the attraction before the bank holiday rush. We were so wrapped up in shopping and walking around the banks of the waterways we forgot how early it was. The usual enthusiastic welcome when we walked in, we thought its Friday so lets have fish and chips. But at 10.45 the fryers had not even warmed up, the chef politely told us. So we had the all day English, it did not disappoint, from the thick cut wholemeal toast to the lightly done fried egg. We loved it, I had some money to come back so I treated my wife to an ice cream Sundae, with caramel toffee drizzle. She did not like this she adored it, still extolling its praises on the way home. I feel I now know that if all the world was drowning and she had a choice of who to save from the water I fear she would pick this ice cream Sundae before her poor husband.

TA need to update this, it's no longer called Potter. We celebrated cousin's acquisition of a chalet near here and had an excellent meal (mostly f&c;) but Mrs Tyke could not resist a takeaway cake (tiffin - delicious). It's clean, friendly and good value food. Be aware that it's a teashop so closes at 5. Suspect they could do good trade by opening later into the evening, especially in the summer.

Superb homemade cakes , there are so many places to have a cup,of tea and cake but few get it right but WOW the Potter Tea Room is excellent . Friendly staff , competitively priced and beautifully decorated . Couldn't rate it higher!!

We stopped here to have a coffee and cake.

Me and my boyfriend decided to go for a coffee and cake, we arrive at half past 4 knowing they close and 5 but when we arrived the doors were already locked and nobody was there! Very disappointed.

After a relaxing boat trip a quick walk across the road to Potter Tea Rooms to be welcomed by a tasty selection of cream cakes and huge scones. A large pot of tea with a scone, fresh double cream and strawberry jam to complete a good day.

We last visited this cafe last September and noticed a decline in style and standards. It has reverted to what only can be described as a typical seaside cafe. On this trip we waited for 4-5 mins to be served although there was three people behind the counter none even acknowledged we were waiting to be served. We left and tried Flour and Bean within Lathams, there although busy acknowledge use and said they would be with us shortly.

had a breakfast in tis lovely tea rooms recently and it was very generous and freshly cooked to order great value too the sausage wasnt the best quality but cant complain at the , the cakes in the display looked amazing some fab combinations of flavours almost wished I had cake for breakfast lovely décor very helpful friendly staff and was super busy a testament to the place indeed

Excellent as always Bridgestones have been running for almost a year now but a lot of customers are still adding there comments to potter tea rooms please add your comments to Bridgestones of P Potter

Had a lovely visit,we had a breakfast and also cake to take away,the only criticism was when we entered it was not (my 1st visit) weather you sat yourself,waited to be seated or weat her it was order at counter etc,it's 1st order at counter and you seat yourself. Well worth the vista's and will deffo return

Have been here several times and the service and food remain constantly good. I have had tea and lunch here. The selection and quality of baked goods are amazing. The cooked meals are amazingly good value for money. The décor is quaint although this visit they had changed the furniture slightly to more tables and chairs. Personally prefer more sofas. However, this didn't really detract from the food or service.

The first 'Spring like' day after a long grey winter was embellished by the bright warm welcome of the staff. Tea in a proper pot with china tea cup, cappuccino with a choice of Cinnamon or chocolate sprinkle and the coup- de -grace; sugar lumps instead of paper filled sugar straws. Clean fresh and reasonably priced fare ties an invisible magnet to the customer that will pull them back for more of the same. V.R.Bennett victorbennetttales.co.uk

We fell upon this place after a very very cold trip to see the Seals. They had one table left which to me was perfect, sofas, comfy cushions and even a blanket which I didn't use but kept it close to feel snuggly!! We had great food, even made my daughter a off menu hot chocolate. Food was fab!! Tasty, hot, chips was gorgeous and would highly recommend. Been back twice since with different people and always been great. Ps..my daughter is now fascinated with your cuckoo clock!!

Fantastic selection of sandwiches and savoury and sweet scones The sausage rolls were divine. Plentiful supplies of tea and coffee .The home made cakes were superb .Even our little grandson got a little present .The atmosphere and welcome are superb Well done to Maxine and her team We will certainly be returning Eddy wants to try your Sunday Roast .

We have driven past this tea room /restaurant many times today we stopped for a drink and snack and wow do glad we did, as we walked through the door your met by a counter with the most amazing array of cakes and sweet delights, next we were welcomed and seated by a lovely lady, we browsed the menu. and I decided on tuna jacket Hubbie had soup of the day ,and pot of tea for two , no sooner had we ordered our tea was delivered to our table talk about service. the food followed approx ten mins later considering the place was packed that's what I call amazing service. After eating we chatted to the new lady owner who was do friendly and truly a lovely person. We cannot wait to return to this little gem, would and will be highly recommending this beautiful place to all our friends , well done to all the staff of this amazing little tea room

my fiance and I live in Great Yarmouth and occasionally pop to Potter Heigham, we have only ever had hot drinks and a slice of cake each every time we visit. the staff are friendly and who ever bakes the cakes is just amazing :)

Nice clean pleasant place,but sadly lots of frozen type food. Which was a shame.roast beef was boil in the bag type Large portions though

We had fish and chips and mushy peas to take away from here. Fish had bones in it which put me off a bit, I'll be honest I wasted more than I eat and all for £14. I would have been better off having a coffee and cake as the cakes looked lovely. I would go here again if in the area but wouldn't have the fish and chips

Very busy and they forgot our order, but as it was a nice day and we had a good spot in the sun outdoors I ddin't complain. It would have been nice to have had an apology, but I would return nonethe less.

Lovely place to go for afternoon tea . My friends treated me . And was lovely presented. Tasted lovely to .

Have been using this place when visiting my mum. We both look forward to it. The cakes are amazing and service is good. Sympathetically decorated, which adds to the pleasure. I have not eaten a meal here, just coffee and cake. The nicest place in Potter Heigham i've ever been to.

ordered takeaway six fish and chips,unfortunately the six fish were absolutely full of small bones and only so many bones you can pick out,the fish ended up being thrown so poor meal which ended up being very expensive,we will not return.

A very dear friend and I often meet up here for a catch up. The people are lovely very accommodating and friendly, so we visit time and time again. We have sampled delicious sandwiches and paninis as well as cakes and coffee. On this occasion we took coffee tea and cakes. We sampled large slices of the triple choc brownie and rocky road. Cutting the slices in half meant we sampled both! They were to die for! The coffee is very good too. The only problem is choosing a cake as they large range all looks so yummy! My friend and I often spend a couple of hours chatting here. Such a lovely place and well worth checking out. We will be back!

Last year this place oozed highly priced pretension. This year good food, friendly staff, reasonable prices and a full tea room. Brilliant reviews as Bridgestones. Well worth a visit.

My third visit can't keep away friendly staff nothing to much trouble the food Is lovely and the cakes are amazing had mars bar cake yummy

Went here with my brother and my nephew for fish and chips. Very large portions, well-presented. Such a pleasant change to eat fresh fish rather than frozen. I'm well over 6ft tall and have a big appetite but the meal filled me up. Planning a return visit in order to sample some of the cakes.

Potter Tea rooms were transformed by a lady with vision, she introduced a little class into tea rooms, where her personal touch made a difference. Unfortunately she sold up to someone who had a fish and chip bar in Wroxham, this has resulted in adopting a similar business model in Potter Heigham. What was a sophisticated and sympathetically decorated tea room has become a replica seaside café and get as many in as possible.

Have visited several times, really love the crockery, old styles with proper teapots! Freshly made sandwiches. Fabulous homemake huge cakes. Staff very helpful and friendly. On our list of best places to have lunch or afternoon teas!

Now called Bridgestone's, we had one of the best afternoon teas I've ever had. The scones were huge, and still warm - delicious! They even topped our teapot up, so we had ample tea to accompany our food. The staff were attentive and friendly to everyone, even though it was busy. Meals on other tables looked equally fresh and delicious. We will definitely visit again.

Asked for extra teabag got charged £1 pmsl bacon was fatty and nt gd value for money anymore. Everything reduced in size including cups of coffee

My self and my wife went on our last night in potter for a meal to the potter tea room we made our choice from the menu the staff were very good when the meals arrived I pointed out that my wife's lasagne arrived with salad when it should have been with chips the lady apologise went into to the kitchen she returned to say sorry she did not realise that that the evening menu was different would we like to wait ten minuets while they cooked the chips looking at my gammon that had chips which looked like the bottom of the frozen chip bag with bits and very poor quality chips we won't be going back in a hurry

Sandwiches and tea were what we were looking for. Although it was busy we did not have to wait long. The food was good and served with salad and crisps.

great food great staff breath of fresh air bringing the village back to life the food was great the staff where very good and the layout of the tables gave room to even the larger of us

Friendly staff, great food and very yummy cakes. Ideal for couples or families, the prices are reasonable. Light meals, snacks and afternoon tea available.

On a weeks family boating holiday, tend to struggle to find a pub to our taste, prices too high, poor quality. So we do coffee shops instead.the wife manages a coffee shop so she looks at everything. A fantastic choice of cakes at a good price,these are better than ours she said grudgingly Lovely surroundings good decor.outside option as well.good service.went back 2 days later had breakfast,again excellent. The pub next door couldn't make a living in the winter so it closed.I do hope that local people use it .the area needs places like this.The product is good ,well done!!

Had another fantastic meal here. Spoke with the owner who remembered us from last time and once again, as we were a party of six, they put two tables together for us. The cafe was busy, very busy and we had to wait a while for the food but what was entertaining was the amount of positive conversations that the other people on tables were saying about the venue and especially about the food, price and quality. Presentation was good, very tasty and well worth the wait. These people know their customers and what they want and they obviously have their regulars now, but everyone was spoken to as a friend. Well done again....Onwards and upwards!!!!

On a visit to potter heigham my husband , myself and his parents decided to pop in to the tea room for a coffee/ tea and a cake . We were so glad we did , the choice of cakes were amazing ( especially the lemon meringue cake ) , the staff were excellent , very fast service and very friendly . After having a chat about choices of tea available we were even given some tea bags to try at home , now that's customer service for you !! Will be sure to pop in again next time maybe for a meal as they too looked excellent !!

My wife and I visited for the first time on the last day of our holiday and wished we had found The Potter Tea Room earlier. We ordered lunch and in every way this exceeded our expectations. The food was freshly prepared and well presented, the staff were friendly and attentive without being pushy, the level of service was refreshingly high overall and the value for money was good. The whole restaurant was clean and the decor was fresh and had charm without pretentiousness. We will definitely visit again. Finally Maxine, thanks again for the tartare sauce "fish" bowl! Good luck with your venture.

We called here this morning,after spending 10 days on the boards. We decided to have breakfast before the drive home. This place is very clean,the staff are great and so was the service. We all ordered breakfasts with some extras. The breakfasts came piping hot and we didn't have to wait long. This was the best breakfast we have had all week on the boards.We will definitely be visiting again, this time next year.

Afternoon tea overlooking the river and boat yards, delicious cakes and proper tea inspired me to write this review, friendly staff with over 35 years of experience , cakes where absolutely fresh and freshly baked, too much in fact but nice to have too much than too little, well done to all

We have only used this place for coffee and cake, can't commend on main meals. Bearing in mind this is in a tourist area the prices are reasonable and the cake portions are substantial, in fact one slice might be enough for two to share. The place is kept really clean and the staff are polite and attentive. This place is well worth a try.

Fish and chips and home made cakes. Small cod was a tail end with no actual cod! ...although tasty chips and batter. Cakes we had didn"t live up to their looks, millionaire shortbread with no taste and scones that crumbled like dust...sorry. we should have said at the time but the meal was a takeaway and second visit just confirmed our opinion. Friendly staff and nice location, clean premises but food not up to expectations.

We visited while in Potter as we fancied a nice cuppa and a slice of cake.

We went because my mum had asked me to bring her some rocky road home. We had a coffee and piece of cake each , which were delicious. So much so we took a piece of cake away with us as well. There was a good selection to choose from as well as a menu for mains and snacks.

Went in for some lunch on a Sunday, the place was quite busy but we found a table, my wife had a cream tea, I had a cheese toastie and a slice of cake, which was huge. All the food was spot on and the staff were really friendly. Reasonably priced, can't fault it.

Visited this morning. The full breakfast has no vegetarian option, they will not allow you to break it up and substitute the meat parts of it for something else, they do not do veggie sausages or anything like that - and in fact if you try to buy chips, this only comes with fish (so sign of any vegetarian pastie/burger option). Cafes in Norfolk not catering for vegetarians is nothing new, but this place really goes out of its way to make them unwelcome. Have beans on toast (at around £4.50) or go elsewhere, basically.

We've been twice now on this holiday, once for ice creams and today to experience the meals and cakes.

The new owners had only been open 6 weeks. The cafe has been completely redecorated inside and out. Very attractive on the outside. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and the food was brilliant. The owners had moved from a tea room in Wroxham. The staff all appear to be in their 40's and 50's. Made a lovely change. Highly recommended. Ian s

Great atmosphere at Potter Heigham, lots of parking with good food and friendly staff. Recommended for all types of groups.

We came here last year and found the menu limited and the owner down right rude when a fellow customer asked for a plate of chips and was told 'if you want chips, go next door'. What a difference a year makes! The new owners are friendly, the menu has now more choice, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is good. We did not witness any 'unhappy' staff, the owners were walking round talking to everyone and the cafe/restaurant was full (this tells you something). This is nowhere near peak season and I know there were locals in there. You can still have a full meal or just a sandwich or jacket potato, only difference now is there is alot more choice and it is served with a friendly smile (what a nice change from last year). We didn't have to wait long for our food, and when it arrived, it was well presented, plenty of it and hot. Our server (owner's son) asked us what sauces and extras we required and brought them straight back (a change from many places that ask you and then forget to come back). Needless to say we ALL cleared our plates as the food was exceptional.

A lovely quirky well ran tea room, has become a cafe, and a ill ran one at that, gone has the nice wall paper, the nice China cups, the service, space round the tables, the choice of good food, home cooked food, I used To visit a lot now I find it like a greecy spoon at the lower end. The owners were in when I was there last and I have to say they ignored me and spoke to the regulars who followed them from Wroxham business. I find it rude that the owners are selective who they choose to speak to, my money is as good as any other customers and if the owners don't recognise that then come the winter god u will need it!

Had a lovely lunch so will be visiting again food served on a slate which is not to my personal liking. Next time we will be trying the cakes which looked amazing.

Where has our quiet, elegant and tranquil tea room gone? Decorated with Cath Kidston wallpaper and crockery, this was a beautiful place to visit and have cream teas or snacks or baked potatoes etc. all at reasonable prices with staff that actually welcomed us locals and knew us all by name.

Nice pleasant tea rooms offering more than teas we had full English but little extras came at a price which made it more expensive than most worth a visit though

I went here today for lunch with my husband and daughter. It was heaving as it is May Day bank holiday, but we managed to find a seat. There was a bit of a queue to place our order, but we didn't mind. The décor was fresh and very pretty and the food was fabulous. We only had sandwiches, but next time we will have to have cake, they looked fantastic. The sandwiches were very fresh and were generously filled. The staff were friendly and efficient. We are looking forward to going back again soon.

Paid almost £9 for what was described as a ploughmans. Lots of lettuce, a few shreds of onion, quarter of a tomato, a small soft baguette, not crusty as advertised, and no butter, very small amount of tasteless cheese and some pickles. At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask!

We visited Potter Tea Room with our 3 children.

Our second visit to the tea rooms. Clean, fresh and plenty of space. Service is attentive and the staff very welcoming. Food and drink well presented too.

A cleaner looking, fresh feeling establishment you would struggle to find anywhere. Toilets say a lot about a place in general and these are 5 star. On this particular day it was busy, very busy and i take notice of service and the service that I witnessed was excellent, lots of busy staff, clearings and cleaning tables, order going out quickly and efficiently. The sausage rolls we had were probably the best I have ever had, hot chocolate was tasty and the cakes wonderful (would give the option of cream or ice cream if it were me). All in all a great place to visit and eat and definitely not an excessively noisy place. My first visit but when I come back to this area I will visit and recommend to friends. Credit where it's due.

nice little tea room - very modern and clean, with lovely cath kidson china and amazing (but enormous) cakes!

Discovered the tea rooms on TA and glad we went. Really friendly helpful staff and superb cakes. The room is decorated to a modern fresh style with plenty of room to move. We were able to sit 6 plus a pushchair and use their high chair with out people having to squeeze around us.

I'm shocked to even see any one pass bad comments about the tea room. I'm a regular as one person has pointed out. I have never received any different treatment or better service from the girls.

I took my 87 year old Mother here for a treat. It was very busy so I offered to clear the table, spraying and wiping it down myself. This was ok and I really did not mind doing this. Staff explained there was a half hour wait for food and I ordered a tea and coffee while we waited. I had ordered two bowls of beef and red wine stew with a roll. We waited about an hour. My Mother started to feel ill as she was so hungry. I was upset for her, especially seeing people who had come in after us getting food. It appeared if you were known you got special service. I asked for my money back. The one member of staff said she had to serve in order - this was not what they were doing. One member of staff did seem concerned and did go over and apologise to my Mother. I would not go back. A disgusting and unkind way to treat an elderly lady. They gave me the money back for the meal and I paid for the tea and coffee.

We have given this tea room a couple of visits, once during half term and also a quiet Thursday lunchtime early March. We could understand why it was so noisy during a half term but today was a very quiet day, but yet the noise in there is so loud, if all you want is a quiet lunch out, the wooden floors and ceilings mean that the chatter just bounces around.

The sun disguised the bitter cold day when we visited the tea rooms. We decided on beef stew with red wine and buttered roll. The staff immediately made us feel welcome. The tea rooms was well presented but the most important part was the food. Jackets with chilli con carni a small picky plate for the 14month old and 3 of us for the stew. Served promptly and professionally. To repeat the words of the Terminator 'We will be back' Thank you for a delighful experiance

A delightful and pleasant tea room, my wife and I took the opportunity of a drink and something to eat before picking our boat up. The only problem was what to have, the choice of cakes was superb. We ended up going for tea and scones, which was excellent. We will be visiting again in June.

Lots of fantastic looking cakes and scones. Wide range of choice and freshly made. Great service too.
