The Flower Pot in Spelthorne

Friday night catch up with the girls - lovely ambience as always and great staff, friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Two of us were dining - great burgers, one chicken and one “authentic utter” with all the trimmings. One of our group just staying for drinks was delighted to find a selection of fruit teas available 😃 A lovely evening - thank you.

A massive thanks to Tom and the team for making my birthday celebration so special. Nothing was a problem food was amazing a lovely party spread and so much of it. Really good value for money You all really made my 50th so special Thanks again Becky

Following a great meal last year we booked again for Christmas dinner. ‘Stuffed mushrooms’ turned out to be ONE sad cold mushroom on a bed of rocket. We emailed ahead to see if they were doing Yorkshire puds on their Turkey dinner . They confirmed they were, but there was no sign of those. The meat was very tough but the veggies were good. Two of our party sent their mains back .The halibut was delivered with a muller yogurt wrapper in it and my veg wellington’s pastry was raw and inedible. By this point , we had given up. Having had half a mushroom and no main meal I ate two stale crackers from the cheese board , paid the bill and left hungry. Needless to say, we won’t be back. Think this was the biggest disappointment of the year!

Stayed 4 days, 2 nights the heaters were not working and on the last day was cold! Over all dissatisfied Staff was friendly but not super comfortable for the price.

DO NOT GO HERE. We went for a bottomless brunch; since they had 2 people working a busy lunch service on a Saturday, our glasses were filled twice in 90 minutes. The food was horrific; the burger was cooked to the point it was burnt, eggs on “sourdough” bread was freezing cold and served on a cheap white slice of toast. Genuinely the worst meal we’ve ever eaten; just go up the road to the Phoenix or the Magpie instead, both of whom adequately staff their establishments and serve edible food.

Stayed there for B&B. Lovely welcome and couldn't have been more attentive and helpful. Lovely room and amazing sleep, breakfast was fab. Will definitely stay again

Awesome Sunday lunch here. We had 12 people in our party. Food was delivered all at the same time, portions were very generous, the food was hot and the service was great! I'd definitely recommend it and look forward to a return trip.

food was terrible !!! it was like a cheap takeaway only worse , considering we spent nearly £500 for a family meal . i would not recommend this place to my worst enemy !!!!!! anyone thinking of going there then please please dont bother ! stay at home have egg and chips and it will be 100 times better than the tripe they dished up !!!!!

Been twice recently and both times told a few wine choices we made weren’t available. Table was dirty. Manager sat, as usual, on customer side at the bar watching his staff run ragged. The youngsters serving are all very friendly and try their best btw, but they have a poor role model. Have given this place the benefit of doubt lately, but not anymore. Won’t go back.

Turned up at 4 on a Saturday and sat at a table to be ignored . Eventually I asked for service only to be told they are shutting the kitchen for an hour ! Totally ignored us . Shocking service

We turned up to be greeted by a smiley waitress who took our drink orders as we walked to the table - very keen! One of our party members asked for a double gin and tonic - and got 2 x single ones.... She asked if we had been there before (we hadn't) so explained that she would give us a menu, we could choose what we'd like to eat and then she'd bring it to our table...um ok! That's the service we usually have when we go out to eat... When ordering the vegan pie, we were asked if we'd like steak and ale or steak and kidney..... Food took over an hour to come (shame there were no ribs as per the website menu as that's actually why we went there), but the food we had was hot, tasty and good. We had hoped to use our Gourmet Society card but the very smiley waitress told us they didn't take it - which is different from what the Gourmet Society website says.... Not entirely the evening we had hoped for, but since we had an hour's wait and therefore an hour's drinking without food, the overall experience was jolly. I'm not sure I'd go back there though.

for just under £400 for Christmas lunch for four people our Christmas lunch was terrible We walked out before desert My starter filo pastry with goats cheese and beetroot was as hard and dry as a biscuit My main course was Beef wellington and the pate had melted into the pastry and the beef fillet was very over cooked and dry I think our food had been left under a heater as it took 2 hours to get the two courses We got a £25 bottle of wine in condensation but I would rather have had a good Christmas lunch

We rang this establishment Sunday afternoon begging for a table of seven as our original booking of the fox Twickenham did not sell roast dinners as advertised on their website- thankfully the Flowerpot could fit us in.. the waitress was lovely quick and helpful and the food .. My vegetarian roast was the best I have ever eaten in a pub/restaurant ..And I have eaten many a roast in many a pub… hot tasty perfectly portioned wonderful Sunday roast dinner .. thank you for rescuing our Christmas Sunday

Early evening meal (5.30). Very loud table of 10+ friends, adults and young children, on table next to us. Literally shouting at each other requiring us to wait to finish sentences. Occasional bad language. F@@@. Had two 8 year old girls with us. Not ideal. Blessed peace when most went outside for a cigarette. Told our charming young waitress who said it was a “vibrant” pub, although she did apologise for the noise when we left. My food was poor- halloumi salad turned out to be shredded lettuce with a small amount of cucumber, red onion and tomato. I asked for dressing on the side but it came with nasty dressing with taste of salad cream already in it. Halloumi was fried cubes - admittedly lots of it. Should have sent it back but didn’t as guest of family. Had flat white coffee after which was surprisingly good. Fed this back to the waitress. Would not recommend it and would not go again..

A family lunch 6 people plus a dog. Really good Sunday roast. Various roasts orders; Beef, Lamb and Turkey. Very good portions of meat with a good selection of vegetables. The young ladies taking the orders were friendly and took care to ask if more drinks, sauces etc were needed. Overall a very nice experience, and we shall surely be going back.

Came for lunchtime drinks with the family and 2xdogs. They now have an app where you place your food and drink orders. Takes a bit of getting used to but easy to use thereafter. Didn't mind the app if it nows deters the people that eat/drink and don't pay. Lovely friendly staff.

We booked a table for this afternoon & on arrival got shown to a nice table. Had to wait for waitress to come up and take a drinks order. We were initially a party of 5 and were given one food menu between us all. Could be due to COVID restrictions but were not advised to look at menu on line either. Drinks took a while to come. We asked about cocktails but were told a couple were unavailable due to not having ingredients. A friend asked about an aperol spritz but were advised they were running out of aperol. A friend asked for lime for a corona, they didn’t have any.We asked if we could run a tab but advised not.We then asked for another drink but the waitress we asked said she couldn’t take our order, it was the other waitress who took the orders,she just served them - they were trying a new system.Clearly, the system of one taking orders, the other delivers didn’t work. Service was slow and the one delivering the drinks wasn’t sure which table she should deliver the drinks to.In the meanwhile,Sam the bar manager who looked like he was on a day off and with a group of friends was enjoying attention from the waiting staff.We ordered food which was delivered about 40 mins later (6meals) . We received the meals but had to ask for sauces, cutlery, salt and pepper and napkins. Surely, knowing our order,this should have been brought before our food? My friend had to go in and get ketchup as her food was getting cold.My friend and I shared a Camembert and asked for more bread which we did get, but with dipping oil,which we did nor ask for, but was charged for.So a not very enjoyable experience, not the girls fault but it seems the direction they had been given.Surely the priority should be customer service which was clearly lacking. Not necessarily due to the girls on duty but by the lack of organisation.Appreciate that pubs have suffered due to COVID but on re-opening should be in top of their game. Be fully stocked, have ingredients and be ready. It seems the Flowerpot lacked in these areas....If the pub creates a bigger seating area to hope to drum up custom, make sure you know how to service it. We might have been older than some others in there but that doesn’t mean we should receive inferior service or be ignored. This is our local and we hope to go back but please sort your customer service out.

I’ve spent many an evening enjoying a meal and drinks with friends/family in The Flower Pot. The management and staff are lovely and welcoming. The food has always been fantastic and the atmosphere is great!! COVID-19 has been difficult for everyone, especially the leisure industry. The Flower Pot has been great in keeping to the Government guidelines and ensuring social distancing, masks and cleanliness. Keep going team Flower Pot!!

Wow what a fab, local, welcoming pub. After recently moving into the area we were keen to find a decent pub with good food, drinks and friendly atmosphere and we found it at The Flower Pot. Sam and his team do a fantastic job.

Booked table, paid £30 deposit for 3 people. Sat at table and music was very loud. I asked a lovely waitress if they could turn it down a tad so we could here each other talk. Music went down and we ordered our meal. Food and service was great by the way so no complaints there. Music volume went back up and 2 tables very close to us that had 6 people on each, were by now up dancing and singing along. Now, I’m no covid police. Ive been out and about supporting pubs, restaurants, cinemas, bars and theatres, but I genuinely didn’t feel safe. They were a young group and clearly fell under the low risk category regarding Covid, but being slightly older and along with several other elderly people sitting close by, it was a concern that the management had no intention of asking them to sit down until we pointed it out to one of the staff. We thought they’d want to know that if police walked in at that moment, they’d be in a lot of trouble. I had one girl literally twerking right behind me Now, this wouldn’t normally bother me but as we all know that’s a No No right now and we all have a part to play. So, I fear unless this pub gets it sorted, it may be in even more trouble than it currently is. As we left, I looked into 3 other pubs in same street. They were all very busy and looking very safe. The Flower Pot wasn’t full and this makes me wonder if this is the reason why I get it that bums on seats mean an income, but it has to be done properly so other customers feel confident that they’re safe.

Was the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Had to wait 15 mins for drinks to be served a mojito that tasted like something was off. Sent it back to receive a gin and tonic that had two brown lime slices in! We waited over 50 minutes for our food, when I asked they said “the chef is just about to start cooking”. We decided to leave early and take the business elsewhere. (We still had to pay for our drinks).

No staff, one person working, answering phones, cleaning and trying to serve several customers. The owner (apparently) orders the beer and clearly doesn’t bother looking at the weather report for the week. While waiting for the only member of t Staff to get off the phone to serve, another customer was moaning the same beer was off last week. Give this pub to someone who is interested in customer satisfaction rather than profits. It’s all about quality, not cutting back on essentials. The owners will lose in the end!!!

You walk into the pub there is no hotel reception just one end of the bar, as you are standing there the local chavs are Effing and blinding and seem to think it's funny.We went up a small winding staircase to our room, we found an overwhelming smell of human faeces and vomit there was also brown stains on the floor {pictures included} we didn't investigate further. The headboard on one of the beds was collapsing, And there were dents in the wall.We complained to the staff and was told there were no other rooms.So we said we won't be staying and was told tough because you've already paid so no refund.We have contacted booking.com and the pub for a refund and have heard nothing so are seriously considering taking this dump to the small claims court for the inconvenience and the cost of booking into a local hotel. Stay at your own peril!

We had Room 4 which was hot and window would not open. The shower door was also faulty and room extremely dark. Breakfast a shambles. No clean tables we cleared one ourselves. Waited 25 mins before we asked to order. Nothing replenished so no bread then no butter. Breakfast when it arrived was adequate though I got no bacon in a full English. Location was saving grace

Took the Mrs out for some pub grub and was very impressed. Its more cuisine than pub grub with a very good menu. The chicken was great and cooked to perfection as was the chips and veg. Will be going back.

Ignored by barmaid as we entered. Bar staff even if on the till acknowledge a customer with Hello,be with you soon. Big mistake ordering a so called smoke chicken salad.Wet slimy chicken that did not look properly cooked. around six small pieces. Three cherry tomatoes cut in half with around six thin slices of cucumber. Huge mass of tough curly lettuce with dash of dressing. All for £12 plus ! Absolute rip off. I moor up quite often and use this pub but this is the worse most expensive meal ever. Never again, i will still have a drink without food.

This is a good little local, village style pub. Good food, good selection of drink, very friendly staff.... but service can be extremely slow, tables can be left uncleared for long periods of time, unless you clear it yourself.Oh and, please, please, please do something about your patio furniture. If you are not sitting on a large lump of wood with the most uncomfortable cushion, it's a chair that's ready to fall apart at any moment. Don't get me started on the tables. A shame as the baskets and pots are kept beautiful.Come on management, is a nice patio area too much to ask?

Been here several times previously and so phoned to book a table for some weekend cocktails based on the literature on their own website advertising ‘two cocktails for £10 during happy hour 5-8pm EVERYDAY’.Turned up well within the specified time and ordered two mojitos (which one of the barmaid said couldn’t remember how to make!). They then tried to charge me £15 for the privilege instead of the online advertised £10.When the staff were respectfully challenged by confronting them with their own advertising and asked as to why as that was the case and not the £10, the response was ‘we’ve changed our prices recently and they would ‘get round’ to changing their website’. In the meantime it was an extra £5 and resolutely refused to honour what was advertised on their own website. When asked what they wanted me to do, the response was “pay £15 please, that’s the price”. Wasnt happening - could have chosen to change their prices 5mins before we walked in for all I know and want sure that’s how advertising worked!I’m not a mystery shopper or routinely difficult and at the end of the day was only a fiver, but couldn’t be bothered with the confrontation and was their error in advertising not mine. Had they honoured it would have sat there for the remaining happy hour and beyond spending as much as they could keep them coming. Instead they lost two loyal customers in the process as we went somewhere else. Not inclined to return in the future as a result of this negative experience.Nearly a week on, the advertisement is still the same and online. Disappointing.

Contrary to all the reviews I was quite happy with my experience, the place was clean, the owner was friendly and I thought the food was really tasty & well presented.If it's a place you contemplating going to then I would suggest ignoring all the bad reviews and give it a go, I think you will be pleasantly surprised

Was there for the first time tonight and can honestly say I will never be back ordered two roast beef dinners and child roast lamb all came with a soggy assortment of veg and plate and roast potatoes were absolutely swimming in a horrible gravy, definitely will never be back.

I haven't been to the Flower pot for many years even though we live very close by.I enjoyed the homemade fish pie but didn't much like the veg. I like stir fry fresh veg but the veg tasted like leftover veg fried in oil. Not good.I didn't have a dessert but my husband's warm chocolate brownie looked good & it tasted good as well.

Service is a little hit and miss, more miss than hit. We found the Flower pot ok nothing special, if the owner had a little bit of sense and had fewer tables more staff they would make more money as people would come back and tell others. At the moment its more like sardines and waiting for a bus on a Sunday. Right by the river Thames with a clear bank to sit on if you just fancy a drink.

Fresh loin of cod ordered was no bigger than a fish finger and £17 a rip off! Tables on top of each other and open to the bar.First time we have tried this gastro? pub will not go back.

Freezing cold, heating not on during one of the coldest days of Winter.

Once you find somewhere to park(nightmare) it’s a very homely restaurant. Service was good and the tortilla starters were amazing, home-made and not just a packet of doritios! Would be better with a car park though!

You should be ashamed of yourselves Mr. Manager and Chef!

Had a very nice meal and beer at the Flower Pot on a Tuesday night. The menu is a little limited, but there is a variety of meals to suit most requirements.

Walked down to the Flower Pot with my wife for a late light Sunday lunch. The Greek platter we ordered was delicious and very much enjoyed with the guest guest beer. Nice atmosphere, nicely maintained and friendly staff.

Well stocked bar with real ale.

Omg. Just had what I guess you would call Sunday lunch. I say that because it was difficult to work out what was put in front of me! No Yorkshire pudding no gravy either. The worst I have ever experienced. I’d like to point out that the waitress was very friendly however. She brought out a Yorkshire pudding to try and save the day, but sadly it was cremated. RIP THE FLOWERPOT SUNBURY

I have been here a few times now since I moved locally and the Flower Pot is one of my favourite food places in Sunbury. Their garlic bread and pizzas are simply delicious as is their Sunday roast.

Never been to the area before but the extremely hot July weather necessitated an unplanned stop for refreshment!

Nothing like a pint by the River Thames in Sunbury and The Flower Pot has a superb riverside location. The pub does serve food but we only came for some very enjoyable drinks in a sunny evening. Awesome.

Disappointing and a very bad experience. We waited 30 minutes for drinks to arrive to our table. Food arrived 1 hour later. The meals were lukewarm - pizza cold which was sent back. It ruined our family meal - just TWO edible meals and ONE inedible. They shouldn’t be let loose on the paying public if they can’t deliver three hot meals. No discount or apology was extended. Thouroghly bad experience. WE SHALL NEVER RETURN.

We went for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago...... we weren't disappointed. Probably best to book if you want a specific time - it's clearly popular. Excellent service and food.

Myself and my partner found this little unique gem on booking.com after a day at nearby themed park we booked Into the executive suit (room one)to start it had a chilly atmosphere as room felt cold as radiator was on low however ensuite very cosy - shower room , bottled toiletries smelt nice and quite refreshing , the bath in the main bedroom was unusual (however to those who want to watch tv in the bath great) staff very pleasant and polite and helpful - breakfast was ok whoever having found burnt chips among my mushrooms not a welcome we wanted overall good food- nice atmosphere and decor

What can I say was hoping for a lovely lunch to spoil my amazing mummy and it did not disappoint! Huge roast plenty of lovely different vegetables and beef excellent portion and very tasty with a giant Yorkshire! Delicious! Then we had chocolate brownie between me and my Dad which was lovely and light and tasty and mum had her favourite which is Eton Mess so was very chuffed that was On the menu too. Staff very friendly and service was great. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back to this cosy, lovely place. Thank you

Never been to the Flower Pot before but have been recommended it many times and it didn't disappoint. Took the...

I love coming here for a drink with friends or breakfast of a weekend but I have found having a meal here a let down. Like in previous reviews this place could be a foodies heaven using locally sourced produce & inventive dishes but instead it is nice but averagely cooked with a tendency to not get what you want or even acknowledged as a paying customer. Have had drinks & coffees in here as it’s my local in a great location but I just wish they would step up their game with the food. Brunch when someone serves you is good

Food average, service good, plenty of choice, parking difficult. Needs more atmosphere otherwise ok.

This is not just a great pub with a restaurant but has rooms as well. I always stay here when I’m in the area and always very happy. The restaurant in the pub excelled itself last night, I intended to have a light meal but when I was told their pie of the day was home made chicken and ham I couldn’t resist, and very glad I didn’t as I can honestly say it was the best pie I have had for 10 years or more. No way to describe except totally yummy. My room was pretty well perfect, well equipped and the layout meant everything was where you needed it. Enough plugs for charging electronics and one below the mirror for the hairdryer which is missing in many hotels. Lovely big fluffy bath sheets, good quality toiletries, aNespresso machine and very comfy bed. Breakfast which is included in the price is freshly cooked and a good choice including kippers! Being right by the Thames it’s a good location, even though I was staying for business it’s nice to be able to walk along the banks of the river in the morning. I thoroughly recommend this pub with rooms, although having only eight rooms in total I hope it doesn’t get so popular that I can’t get a room in future!

Beautiful roast lunch..., BUT left for 15 mins before i finally gave up and went to the bar to order our drinks.

This is a refurbished English village pub. It serves a good variety of real ale. The food is very good if a little continental as opposed to old English.

Where do I begin?! Seated and left to ponder the menu, decided on the Pie of the Day but when the waitress returned we were told this wasn’t available and she quickly scurried away. After fifteen minutes of being ignored and watching one of the...

Typical averge pub grub and friendly and warm service. Improvement ideas: Clean the furniture and upgrade the music system (Spotify doesn't cost that much).

Went for a drink. Friendly service from bar staff. Small seating outside but on corner by a mini roundabout. With...

Waited an hour for breakfast !!! They got the order totally wrong !! The waitress was working on her own and was rushed off her feet. This seems to a regular problem in the flowerpot they really need to get more staff as customers are left waiting for too long.

We stayed for 3 nights. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast was very good. We had food one night and it was very good. Would have eaten there other nights but wanted to see the area. Good for Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventure and Hampton Court Palace. Only downside is the limited parking. If they came to an agreement with the parish to use their car park that would help.

We met our daughter and her husband for what, we thought, looking at the menu and the bistro style surroundings would be a nice evening. How wrong could we have been! Firstly it's not clear whether it's table service or bar ordering - if it's table service then it's awful! We had to ask for the front door to be closed because smoke from the smoking area drifted into the restaurant which was really unpleasant. My wife ordered the fish sharing platter which arrived with a skinny bit of mackerel and a mountain of bread - there were a few prawns and a small piece of hot smoked salmon. I would hardly call it a fish platter and certainly not to share unless you enjoy eating bread! I had a burger which was pretty ordinary as was the rest of the food we ordered. All in all not a great experience and we certainly wouldn't return or recommend it.

Arrived a little later than I wanted and only had time for one course and chose the plaice (ha ha!) with shrimp and lemon butter with potatoes. Certainly was tasty and correctly cooked. Wish I'd had time for a starter. My colleagues tried the steak and linguine and all were enjoyed. Decent value.

plenty of choce on the menu, very pleasant staff, lovely large front bedroom well decorated relaxed atmosphere

Food at the Flower pot was tasty fresh and good size portions service was great and it has a great atmosphere

The Flower Pot looks great but we had a disappointing stay.Though the staff were very welcoming, there were problems with the family room's en suite shower, the sofa bed squeeked and one of the velux blinds had been screwed closed. No fresh fruit available with breakfast.It's a shame as its location opposite the river is very nice.

Fancied a full English Breakfast food was very good. Although we found the sausage not really to our taste a bit of a perfumed taste. Eggs bacon black pudding mushrooms and tomatoes were very tasty. Friendly waiting staff as well

We often call in here for a quick pint. Always a friendly, hospitable atmosphere and they do good food as well.

I hate to write negative reviews but The Flower Pot seriously let us down recently when we brought some friends here for lunch. We have eaten here before and the pub do a good value Sunday lunch in particular. On this occasion, we booked a table for seven for a 2pm lunch. We knew the kitchen closed at 3pm but when the booking was taken by the manager we were assured all would be fine. We arrived promptly, got drinks and sat at out table that was ready for us. Then we waited. And waited.... and waited ... the one person we could find was far too busy in the bar to give us enough attention to order any food. We spoke to the chef in the kitchen who could not help ... after 25 minutes of no one paying us any attention we left. If was very embarrassing for us but our friends were understanding. Luckily the lovely Cafe C could accommodate us even though they close at 3pm as well. The management at The Flower Pot need to understand that you can leave one person to run the restaurant bar and hotel reception even at times when it's not busy.

Went for lunch recently and spent most of our time batting flies away.Someone said it had to do with beer lines not being cleaned.Food was edible but was spoiled for us by constantly having to bat flies away.No manager available to make complaint to but made a written complaint to the waitress who was very sympathetic.Will not be going again until I am sure cleanliness has improved.

Clean enough good sized room with showier. Its about £9 taxi from the station. the river is across the road. I did not have time for a good look round . One key thing....order your taxi before you get there. THERE IS NO RANK. Staff were pleasant and the breakfast was fine.

Visited twice for a meal and twice for a drink as a local, who is only several hundred metres down Thames Street. The quality of service is so appalling I am surprised it hasn't closed down. The food is not good either, bland, colourless and tasteless. Management when we visited the last time was shameless and aggressive, everyone we know who is local has their own bitter story to tell and would never return.I do not understand how the owners or staff do not try to improve this pub after such dire reviews, well do I ? Frankly they do not care about rude indifferent service and below par over priced food.I am still very ashamed and embarrassed I took my family of ten there for my aunts birthday. Service was extremely slow, especially considering we were the second table there. Out of the ten meals ordered, three were incorrect, one arrived 45 later after numerous complaints, it was just so awful.I had to leave early, due to other reasons. The next day found out the manager shouted and disputed the problems with the food and extra drinks added to the bill.Unless the manager, all the staff, including the chef's and other cooks have left, there will never be any hope. I really do implore anyone considering The Flower Pot to avoid this unfriendly establishment. If you want everyone to stare at you when you walk through the door, then simultaneously be ignored, you enter at your own risk.

This is a lovely little pub it feels cosy and warm, it is a great place for couples as its very relaxed and easy to converse. the food is always of a good quality and I feel is fairly priced given the location.

If we'd known this was the sister restaurant of The Bell in Hampton we'd never have come. Like its sister this place has potential but it's just not good enough. The white wine was not chilled and since when do you put ice in a wine cooler, get ice buckets or chill the wine properly in the first place. One starter was cold and had to be sent back. The fish was far too battery. The table felt sticky to the touch. All in all a disappointing experience, no idea how this gets 4 stars

We popped in for dinner, none of the steaks were done correctly we got no sauces, and others didn't get what they ordered. Should be avoided, seemed like a good place to eat but we were wrong. Went away hungry.

This is a pub / hotel which is exceptionally good. The staff are AMAZING. The pub itself is good and the menu is lovely. The rooms are tremendous really spacious and decorated with real attention to detail. The only down side is that there is only 4 parking spaces but there are side streets where parking is available nearby. I cannot recommend this place enough.

After being let down by an another hotel in Richmond, we managed to make a quick, bargain of a booking at The Flowerpot. We had stayed previously and were super impressed with the room and the service, and once again they were amazingly accommodating! Staff are lovely and extremely helpful and the breakfasts are lovely, can't wait to stay again! Thank you so much to everyone at The Flowerpot!

Went in here for a beer & a burger at lunchtime, home made burger, chips & a lovely Kozel lager all for £10! Very nice indeed.

This is a great little pub to visit. Good atmosphere, great for just popping in for a drink, or for having a meal.Food is tasty, staff are professional. Charlie and Marta are friendly and always happy to serve. Only one small negative is, that the patio area, is pleasant, but the furniture is well and truly passed its best. Could do with an upgrade, as there are other pubs with gardens and patios in the area in better condition. Other than that I would recommend a visit.

Came here with my partner for dinner and a few drinks on a Saturday night. It's the second time we have eaten here and both times now we have really enjoyed the food, which we were assured was all freshly cooked.My girlfriend had the steak and I had the lamb shank which was a special on the day we were there. The lamb was really good and I would order it next time if it is on the menu! Shame there was only the one choice of cask ale (which was one I personally don't like too much) but that's me as a beer snob being fussy. The Shipyard Pale Ale was a good alternative. All in all, definitely recommend this place!

Breakfast was within the price of our stay, a nice selection, cereal,, toast & cooked. It was well presented & good quality. We ate the first evening of our stay, nice selection & again reasonably priced, hot, well presented & good quality

A great choice of food and beers in a traditional pub setting.Good, quick service. Would recommend the fish and chips.

After recent revamp decided to try the restaurant with my wifeIn fairness the bar area is a bit confusing as it tries to be a pub when it clearly isn't with a constant stream of customersThat aside excellent choice of beers and wines and good serviceShown to our table by an extremely helpful waitressAs it was Friday we both went for the fish and chips which were excellentDefinitely visit again

We stayed here for one night and ate in the restaurant which looks very inviting. The young lady who served us was very attentive. The menu is limited but sometimes less is more. We had a garlic bread to share while waiting for our roast dinners. The assortment of vegetables with this was great and the portion sizes were huge. Our starter, gin and tonic, beer, two roast dinners and a bottle of red wine came to £58. Would certainly recommend this pub.

Pub food is about basics. Solid menu with some classics and innovation, look at the Red Lion in Shepperton or 3 Horseshoes in Laleham who do it well for comparable prices. Food just okay, presentation poor, wait long, service mediocre at best, prices high, wine list limited but okay, atmosphere non existent because unlike most good local pubs people are not choosing to come back.Simple stuff not done simply!

This was the first time I had visited since the change of ownership and menu. Previously this had been a favourite hostelry but was so disappointed. Visited on a quiet Friday lunchtime. The menu was limited with Okish service but there seemed to be a very long wait for our food, even though we were the first to order, and when it arrived it was bland. Such a shame when the interior is lovely. Wont be hurrying back.

Service was very slow,had to wait for ages for the food.Not authentic French food.French manager not friendly at all,Too expensive.f

One Sunday we decided to try our The Flower Pot for the first time to eat. The roasts we all ordered we delicious and piping hot, but the puddings let it down. Our daughter ordered a chocolate brownie which was burnt throughout inside. The service was okay, not the best. On our second visit should you only wish to visit for a drink be warned don't go on a Sunday as they prefer if you are staying to eat as you take up a much needed table. They seemed to be short staffed?

The pub looks very inviting from the outside with a small seating area outside when the weather is nice and is situated just across from the river. The staff are friendly but the evening menu was not inspiring.

For a local this is perfect just for a drink or a quick bite or a get together. Staff are friendly and food is generally good. Always busy but not crowded so just right

Six of us visited the pub on a Saturday evening for a meal. One couple had been a few times before and rated it highly so we were looking forward to it. The waitress took our drinks order then came back for the food order. She was fun and didn't seem to mind when one of our number requested a burger with all the trimmings but with halloumi instead of the beefburger. The starters arrived and were very good then there was a long delay before the main courses arrived. However we didn't mind as we were having fun listening to the live act murdering rock classics. When the mains arrived my friend was disappointed to find that they'd left the bacon off the burger - possibly assuming she was vegetarian though she'd made it clear to the waitress that it was only beef that she didn't like. My spicy pulled chicken pizza was possibly the blandest pizza I'd ever tasted - the sauce didn't taste of tomatoes let alone spice! But I have to say that the duck burgers ordered by three of the party were apparently very enjoyable.Unfortunately the fun, efficient waitress was busy elsewhere when my friend asked for a white wine spritzer and the poor girl who took the order didn't seem to have a clue, despite us explaining it to her several times, as a glass of undiluted white wine arrived. A later request for a coke was forgotten though it miraculously appeared on the bill.Finally the desserts were also forgettable. I chose lemon drizzle cake with mango sorbet expecting a light fluffy sponge with a tangy lemon sugar crust. However this version had the firm, coarse texture of a polenta cake with a crust a couple of shades lighter than burnt. The apple, plum and cinnamon crumble chosen by two of the party was renamed cinnamon, apple and plum crumble due to the overpowering amount of the spice used.Maybe I was just unlucky with the dishes I ordered as some of our party were very happy with theirs but I won't be hurrying back.

this is not a goo placeto stay as there is no lift and the stairs ar ver twisting and steap,for is not as good as i expected but they did try there best and me and my sister got it for free as there was so limited food available even on the menu.It is also on the main foad and not much parking.

The kids have just turned that age when we don’t need to pay for a babysitter so on Valentine’s Day my wife and I went out for probably our 2nd ‘date night’ and hoped for a nice quiet romantic dinner for two together. We have been to the Flowerpot a number of times before so we knew to expect good food and good service.The waitress bought our drinks and accidentally spilt my wife’s wine on her, the waitress was very apologetic but it didn't set the scene for the type of evening we hoped for. My wife ordered off the Valentine’s Day set menus, two courses for whatever, and I ordered off the usual menu a “baked to order and can be adapted on request” pizza but being a vegetarian asked for no ham, and we settled done to enjoy our romantic night. Then quiz night erupted around us with a guy shouting out questions not four foot from our table.Then the food arrived, my pizza covered in ham so I sent it back, it eventually re-arrived about 10 minutes after my wife had finished her main course and had her plate taken away. After me sitting there for 20 minutes watching my wife eat, she could now sit and watch me eat all with the Quiz Night booming around us.So how did we feel about our nice quiet romantic dinner for two together, well we didn’t actually eat ‘together’ and not exactly romantic due to that plus the spilt wine and pub quiz. The food was as usual very good and the manager, I assume she was, was very apologetic for the service. I understand that people make mistakes with the orders but will we go there again ?…..probably but their sister pub, The Phenoix, is next on our list – wish us luck.

Have just been back for a meal after over a year away & it was still up to it's high standards. My elderly father in law was in a local care home. Every week we wheeled him to the Flowerpot for a meal & pint. In fact brothers did it too so he often visited 2 or 3 times a week. He said those visits were the highlight of his week. Sadly he passed away last Christmas & we had the wake at The Flowerpot. Nothing was too much effort for Pierre & everyone felt dad was given a great send off. On Saturday we finally made a trip back. It was as ever cosy & welcoming. The rugby was on live but discreetly in a side area so not intrusive if you were not a rugby fan - handy for us to keep popping over to check the score! There were some new interesting lagers & pale ale on the pumps. There's always a good choice of real ales. So we shared some dipping bread over a beer whilst waiting for our steaks. Their steaks are never a disappointment & always beautifully cooked. Pierre as always was his usual attentive self, despite having a full pub & restaurant area at 6pm. We were not disappointed!

Lovely interior, I had burger which was really good, the home cooked chips were a bit overcooked but I really enjoyed the meal and used my Gourmet card which was even better.

Flower Pot is our local and we all adore it: the staff is great, the food is nice and we love the atmosphere.

Went here with some friends, staff are friendly and the pub provides an rustic atmosphere that complements the Sunbury village architecture. Food reasonably priced. definitely would come back

Only a one night stay,for a party down the road,but we were made to feel very welcome.Room was comfortable ,shower worked efficiently,bath robes provided which was a nice thought.Breakfast almost too huge,but delicious.We would definitely stay again,staff very helpful.Thank you.

A lovely Shredded Duck burger lunch shared with a friend. Great food, served by a lovely waiter called Pierre. Lovely decor and prices not too bad.

This has recently been refurbished & we had a great meal here, the place itself looks great, quite quirky, all a bit different but lovely, very comfy & delicious food.

We went for dinner at New Years Eve so it was not the quietest of times but the staff were very attentive and it was very apparent that they were enjoying being there as much as we were.Food was good and when we ordered additional bread we were advised that it was not required with what else we ordered - how right they were.We eat in The Flower Pot about once a month and always have a good experience.

Ok, so the rooms are above a pub but don't let that put you off. The pub itself is welcoming and the staff were very helpful. We only had breakfast but the food was good and plentiful. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and there was a couple of nice touches, i.e. bottled water, coffee & biscuits. We would definitely stay there again. Gary from Kent

A very disappointing visit to The Flower Pot. A surprise meal arranged for myself with a table booked in advance. On arrival my friends was greeted by the manager who was rather rude when informing them they was not allowed to bring a birthday cake and should of ordered a cake from The Flower Pot in advance. He did however allow them to give me my cake later in the evening. We waited 15-20 minutes for our food order to be taken. We was told we could only order drinks from the bar as they did not have enough staff to serve us. We then waited an hour for our starters to be served. When they was the fish cakes was raw/ uncooked. They had no coating and was cold. These was returned, we waited another 15 minutes for them to return while the rest of the parties starters was sat on the table. Mains arrived most of the party happy with the food as pleased they didn't have to wait another hour.The mushy peas that arrived with the fish n chips was cold and looked more like play doh! We could see the young waitress was doing her best with very little support from the manager. We had to request several times to speak to the manger, as we felt it was unfair to place our disappointment with a young lady doing her best and clearly thrown in at the deep end with such lack of staff. Toilets out of services, thankfully the disabled toilet in use for the whole pub. We thought it would he nice to end the evening with a glass of Baileys to be told they had none in stock, but would have some the following day, not much use to us!! The manager out of good will did not charge us for any of the starters which was some recognition for the disappointment we felt. A great shame as it could be lovely.
