Based on our experience at this restaurant it really wasn't great , those reviews below saying it was great ......well good for you and how lucky they were . Extremely slow service , the staff just lacked experience on how to deal with missed side orders and always forgetting things . Food was not cooked through but I didn't say anything as I didn't want to cause a scene . The negative reviews can't all be wrong if that's what they experienced like we did then it shows the reality for some families first time eating at this restaurant hasn't been a great experience. The fact they're closing down really does show they're not giving 100% anymore .

Service really slow other tables commenting the same thing , waited 30 mins for drinks 50 mins for our starter. The main meal ( chicken )was under cooked sent it back only for the waitress to bring it back after speaking to the chef and arguing with me saying it is fine . Refused to accept it and ordered a steak instead . We couldn't wait to get out of there and as we were leaving the chef came out of the kitchen started arguing with my wife about the chicken and the lady on the payment desk started arguing with me over the meal I sent back! (Just pleased they never charged me for the chicken) My advice to them never argue with a customer over under cooked food and send it back to the table expecting the customer to just crack on and eat it! Or carry on arguing as the customer is leaving. Not a good August for this restaurant looking at the reviews ! We definitely won't be returning, I ,wish we had researched this before booking.

Not sure what the some of the other reviews on here are talking about, we’ve been to potters a few times , as always tonight was as good as all the others!!! Service was great and food was spot on, best fish and chips for miles around! You would think as tonight was the last night maybe some things would slip but no , shame your closing but understand the reasons and look forward to whatever you do in the further as we will certainly be supporting it !

We've eaten at Potters every time we've visited Bude on holiday and have never been disappointed. I'm sad to hear that the restaurant is closing before we'll get chance to visit again in October. We've always experienced a friendly welcoming team, service at a speed which is expected in a good quality restaurant where things are cooked fresh, and simply excellent food. Sad to read negative recent reviews, it seems really cruel when the business has announced that it is closing...no-one needs your unkind words now. Running a business is tough, really tough. Sometimes things go wrong and it doesn't matter how many millions of times you get things right, that's not what you think about before you go to sleep. I truly hope those leaving negative reviews take equal time to praise businesses when they've enjoyed their experiences. In a nutshell, Potters is part of some very lovely holiday memories for us, and will be missed. Wishing Oly and Nikki the very best of luck for their new venture.

After a brilliant experience last year we were keen to return to Potters but wish we hadn’t! We’d booked a table in the restaurant, (you had to select the seating option when booking online) but when we arrived were told we had to sit downstairs in the “dog-friendly area” in the entrance. “That’s your table,” we were told being pointed to one that was full of crumbs, squashed peas and fish! I asked for the table to be cleaned to be told “it already should be!” Things got worse when we were presented with our food. The kids fish was far smaller than expected, with a batter that looked more cheap chip shop than restaurant. And then the final straw when I found a large caterpillar in my veg. Thankfully I spotted before I ate the extra protein. The response from the staff was apologetic, but not overly… “Yes, that is a caterpillar. We do wash all the veg but that one must have been extra sticky to the leaves.” I was then offered a replacement bowl of veg (not meal) - I politely declined! I didn’t eat the meal as was feeling rather sick by that point and also wondering how many more caterpillars may be on my plate and although they did remove my meal from the bill, they refused to compensate us further for the hideous experience, telling us “you ate the other meals, you should pay for them.” We discovered later that Potters is closing, which explains a lot - just wish we’d seen the reviews before our visit.

We have always enjoyed Potters and have been impressed at the standard of their food Olly is an excellent chef . We were so disappointed with our meal this time . The starter which we shared was lovely a very nice mackerel pate . The main courses were so disappointing the steak was over cooked and the peppercorn sauce was watery . The southern fried chicken was quite bizzare it was very dark brown and not particularly tasty on a completely tasteless cold waffle with a splash of a honey sauce with a fried egg . It just didn’t work and wasn’t at all nice . The service and staff were really good but I think there was a rush to get you out of the restaurant . We decided we wouldn’t have anything else and went for cocktails opposite . Very disappointing all round and such a shame .

Just returned from a lovely few days in Bude.A highlight was an evening at Potters. We were welcomed offered a menu and a wine list I chose The Venison scotch egg for starters it was delicious it was served hot with a tasty sauce for mains I had the Southern fried chicken waffle and fried egg delicious hot and plentiful with greens .I was recommended a bottle of Pinot Grigio all very good would certainly visit on my next visit to Bude. .

We were greeted by charming polite and efficient staff, but this was a very disappointing meal. I can only assume that your regular chef was away on Saturday evening. My sole was overcooked and garnished with far too much samphire and capers, sat in a sea of greasy liquid, accompanied by overcooked greens. Sadly this disaster was compounded with a very dilute cup of what you were pleased to call 'long coffee' (I had asked for an Americano).

We went last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary whilst here on holiday. So how was it? The menu although not extensive is both interesting and offers points of difference. The service was attentive and efficient. Most importantly the cooking is well done. All our food was made by the man whose name is over the door and it showed. We had a thoroughly enjoying evening & would happily return.

Got to be honest, just been in for my 43 wedding anniversary meal and it's probably the most disappointing one I've had. No lager,then no beer on draught, took an hour for food to arrive, tiny plaice arrived with a bit of samphire, had to order a side as didn't even come with one new potato. My wife had a fish pie and wasn't impressed. We were enticed in because the menu outside looked good but wasn't available when we went in.

Our first visit to Bude and our first visit to Potters. What a lovely place to eat. Greeted with a warm welcome or exclusive was nothing less than delightful from stay to finish. We sat upstairs in a room with a lovely feel about it, not trying too hard but a really nice relaxed vibe. The food. We often share a starter and dessert. On this occasion, we started with a salmon pastrami dish. WOW! Sensational in flavour and almost melt in the mouth texture, this was just the start. My gf chose fish and chips, which was a lovely piece of fish in a light, non greasy batter, far more than just fish and chips! I chose the fish of the day, whole sole (no head or tail) and it was fall from the bone, but not flakey perfection. We were both delighted with our choices. Finally to dessert, chocolate brownie with ice cream, simple but simply delicious! A very reasonably priced bottle of white and overall a very reasonably priced fantastic meal. We will be back!

Had dinner here in early March, very much out of season - the only downside was just how quiet the restaurant was (we were last to leave an on our own for the last 30 mins). Despite this the staff remained welcoming and we were not rushed to leave. Food was really nice and we thought fairly priced.

Have walked past this place for many a year, but was turned off from visiting by their expensive 'taster' menu - now they have a proper a' la carte and specials menu. We both chose from specials menu - Venison pie and Sea Bream. Good quality food, tasty. Good value. Very friendly service. Only criticism - it was cold!!

Terrific staff, absolutely delicious food and an all round excellent experience. The restaurant was accommodating in allowing us to push our booking back by 15 mins and by allowing one of our party to have 3 starters rather than a main course because he liked all the starters and couldn't decide what to have! Just enough choice on the menu, we went for the "Christmas dinner" which was exceptional. Will not hesitate to return to Potters when we are back in Bude.

Every part of our meal was fantastic. I had the mushroom arancini, the banana blossom fish and battered snickers. My partner had the venison scotch egg, hake and chips and battered mars bar.

Never reviewed on trip advisor before, visited Potters tonight with friends, had cold fish served to 2 people, returned and re ordered alternatives as there were no more Monkfish!- was offered to have the Monkfish blowtorched! Sat and watched our friend eat her lovely Sole. Our replacement meals arrived much later. The bill arrived with an additional ice-cream scoop bizarrely. We questioned the bill and received an extremely rude response from the the waitress- very embarrassing behaviour in front of other diners. Sad experience as we had been recommended to visit, won’t be going back.

We went to Potters Restaurant in Bude Cornwall on 28th September 2023 for my sister in-laws birthday. My brother inlaw booked the table as he lives in Bude & we live in the West Midlands... We went as a party of 4 , read the reviews online & they were quite good. So we went there, we had 4 starters which were very nice but not alot of food for the cost of it. We then had 4 main course's & my sister inlaw had to order a side order of potatoes at an extra cost to go with her fish. I had Haddock which was very nice , but my triple cut chips were horrible. They tasted like old chips & refried & greasy. My brother inlaw had cod , but after a while he suddenly felt sick. He said his fish had not been cleaned properly & he felt sick. At this point we all stopped eating the food , but at no point during the meal did any of the staff come to check if our meals were OK. We called the waitress & mentioned the problem with the meals & she said oh I'm sorry , but I am covering for the waitress who is off sick. She then brought the bill , my brother inlaw & his wife had 2 drinks each & my husband & myself had 1 drink each. Total cost £147.50 6 drinks 4x starters 4x main coarse + one side order of potatoes to go with my sister in-laws sole fish. Very pricey , did not meet our expectations with the reviews we read before going there.

Having read so many excellent reviews, we were really excited to try this place and when the "nibbles" of Frickles (fried cornichons) arrived, we were certainly off to a great start. We shared a very nice and reasonably priced Verdelho, which only added to our enjoyment. We then had more sharing dishes, which were of only mixed quality. The Monkfish Scampi was well received, light delicate batter and fresh monkfish. Three of us had the Squid starter. And oh dear! All three had a dark, unappealing batter appearance, we wondered old oil or over-cooked. Certainly after tasting, they were considerably over-cooked, to the point that it was hard to find any squid that has survived! On reflection, we should have returned all three; but we were hungry and ploughed on. We wonder whether the frying station had a poor night; for the three of our fried mains Hake; Cod and Chicken were all also well overdone. Thick, dark, hard batter, which overwhelmed the lovely looking fish and chicken inside. However the Sole, which was roasted, was absolutely divine, plump perfectly cooked, glisteningly white fish, perfect. Service was incredibly friendly and attentive and the place had a nice feel about it (except it was uncomfortably hot, even wearing a t-shirt, I had to go outside twice to cool down). Such are the reviews, I feel sure the chef was having a holiday and were we living nearby, we'd certainly try again; however we don't so sadly we shan't.

Really excellent and spacious restaurant. Varied menu with plenty of choice & everything we ordered was excellent (and what everyone else in the restaurant was eating looked fabulous too). It was nice to have the option of ordering a conventional starter & main course or...

Great new Cornish tapas style menu which has excellent dietary requirements set out on the menu itself which is brilliant because it avoids all the awkwardness for us fussy eaters! Great service, amazing food and cocktails. Will be back asap!

One of the best restaurants in Bude. Food is incredible! Had the mackerel to start which was so nice and then the steak for the main, which was cooked to perfection. Staff are friendly and although it was a really busy night, our food arrived...

We went for a date night to try out the new menu and we can fault anything…! Excellent service, the cocktails were delicious and the new menu was amazing. Potters is always our favourite place to eat in Cornwall.

I’ve visited potters a few times on different visits to the area and it never disappoints. Their new menu is the perfect way to taste the local produce and the fact it changes regularly is even better! The waitresses are always friendly and I’d never...

Been here a couple of times now and has never disappointed really friendly staff and will do anything to help. The overall feel of the place is really nice and chilled out and the food is excellent. Was there last night (6/8/22) and was probably...

Sadly very lacking in food choices especially vegetarian, small portions and overpriced. My vegetarian daughter only had one choice which was gnocchi, when it arrived it was burnt and tasted of liquorice, (they did take it off the bill) we had to send it back,...

Very busy but the great food was served in good time. Great menu selection ( not loads just good) and the service was also great and the cocktails looked amazing.

We didn't book so we were lucky to get in. I can only assume the waitress was new as service was very slow and she appeared to have little knowledge of the dishes available. Waited an hour for our food which was a bit disappointing,...

We were part of a large group who took over the whole restaurant. Serving a lot of guests (about 20 of us) can be fraught with problems but the staff handled it admirably. The food was excellent. I had sushi monkfish which was a first...

We booked the whole restaurant for the evening for covid delayed birthday celebrations. Excellent cocktails to start. Could not fault the wonderful meal. The dishes were inventive and delicious. The sushi-like monkfish was outstanding. Wines were excellent. The service was also very good. Thanks Nikki...

We ate here as part of a large group, using the room on the top floor, and it was a superb evening. The service was excellent with very friendly and professional staff and the food was fantastic.

Visited potters for my birthday, it was incredible! They have changed their menu to Cornish tapas which works really well. The steak and battered hake is delicious! Staff were lovely and service was really good! We will definitely be back soon!

2nd time at Potters for dinner, and was excellent food and service again. The new menu with more small plates has great variety and works very well. The team was very attentive and welcoming. We will definitely go again.

We originally booked to sample the tasting menu but Potters have now changed to a tapas style menu with smaller and larger plate options . We opted to share two starters and several smaller plates all of which were beautifully presented and delicious. We particularly...

Three of us dined at Potters last night. Food was excellent. Very different and delicious flavours well presented. Service was efficient, relaxed and friendly and we particularly appreciated being unhurried with plenty of time between courses. Very expensive for Bude but worth it if you...

We visited for our anniversary whilst on holiday and were unfortunately left feeling extremely disappointed. We’d been given a table by the window and there was a lovely handwritten card for us but we then had to spend most of the evening with the curtains...

Popped in here for a cream tea, deliciously warm scones with jam and clotted cream, a real treat. Very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely, very friendly, would definitely recommend.

The ice creams here are beautiful! Really generous portions and are very well presented. The customer service we received was outstanding, my daughter had a massive meltdown (ASD) and they were nothing but supportive, understanding and helpful. We'd had a very tough day today with meltdowns galore and this one was by far the worst of the day yet I never felt alone or judged. People like you make the biggest difference and I am so very grateful for you going out of your way to help and care. Thank you x
