The Potters Club in Stoke-on-Trent

My wife and I had a brilliant night last night at the club, it was a Soul and Motown themed night, the DJ played great music and the place was sold out, we pre booked the food, which was simple but absolutely delicious, one of the best sirloin steaks I’ve had in a long time anywhere I think the club itself has been on a knife edge for a few years now but I think these themed nights will be it’s saviour and a priority is marketing and selling to younger generations, if I was to hazard a guess last nights average age would be 60 - 70 and we won’t live forever !

Christmas dinner was very nice. If you're young, it's a rather odd setup, you have to wait in the bar until the food area is set up. The bulk of clientele is elderly people, I assume the traditional style of service and dress code caters for this, however will be interesting as to whether that will attract younger folks as time goes on

Superb venue. Great service and quality food. Recommended

Excellent Staff Good Food Very Friendly became a member recently worth every penny a safe and comfortable environment to entertain friends family and business associates extremely wide variety menu Perfect Just Perfect

The Potter's club How can you review it? I first visited in the late 1960s and have been going to the Potter's club ever since. I think it is wonderful that in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent we have this jewel in our cities faded crown. Most people don't know that it exists, but in my opinion when you go up in the lift and discover the Lost world , a world where royalty were welcomed . A place which one would only expect to find in London but it is opposite Stoke station. Absolutely fantastic!. Long may last!

A regular favourite which never disappoints. I am in awe of the high quality food on offer! I always enjoy visiting, more recently for a birthday surprise.

Fantastic food, lovely surroundings and friendly staff. The club is a treat not to be missed, the service is excellent and you are made to feel very welcome. New lunchtime menu just launched

Celebrated my 70th birthday here on Saturday and everything was so perfect. From my first meeting with the brilliant Lewis, I couldn't have asked for more. The atmosphere, the service, the food and wine were 1st class. For 16 people to be so full of praise says it all. If you are looking for somewhere to celebrate a special event, look no further

I celebrated my 70th birthday with 16 members of my family on Saturday and the experience was perfect. From the minute I met with Lewis to discuss the afternoon, everything ran so smoothly. The venue was calm and refined. The food and drink 1st class. The service so friendly but very professional. Everyone was so impressed and for further family celebrations, we will look no further than the Potters Club. A real hidden gem. Special thanks to the wonderful Lewis

Excellent lunch at the Potters Club. Great food and service in a building full of history. Topped of by the excellent hosting by Jenny. Top marks and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks to all the staff working yesterday.

An absolute gem in the centre of Stoke on Trent.

Fabulous for a special event like our anniversary. The restaurant was very quiet but service great and food was exceptional

An institution, historic, quaint and needs to advertise more. This is really important to Stoke and the Pottery industry and needs to be more accessible and attract new younger members. Otherwise it won't survive. Fabulous experience but car park is like Fort Knox and the lift is more dumb waiter than lift. If you get chance please go and support

Fortunately, after rushing around, getting changed, fresh from the bath, that even good designer jeans weren’t acceptable. That was the excuse to not go and endure an average meal, at a price that justified excellent service. I’m not saying that it hasn’t a sense of grandeur, just that it isn’t all that, any more. I have had nice meals but, even my member friend quips that the £6 supermarket wine at £20+ pounds is steep. Living on a good name

We well greeted by Lewis and served drinks promptly,our order was taken about 25minutes later and sat 15 minutes later so we have been here an hour and no food the menu is very basic or pub style . The starter arrived which was nice but not really worth the money ,the main course arrived about 20 minutes later again ok but very over priced. We were not asked if we wanted a dessert or coffee the chef did a little tour of the tables which wasn’t needed because we could barely understand him ,shame I have fond memories of the club

Went with friends to celebrate a birthday. Soup starter was very nice but as a main my steak was only just warm. Also ordered Rhubarb mess as a sweet when it arrived it was mixed berry.

We visited in 2021 and had a lovely experience and Afternoon tea. We visited again in 2022 and the experience was disappointing. The amount of sandwiches and cakes was reduced to very minimal equating to 3 small finger sandwiches pp and 2 very small cakes pp the jam and cream was only 2 portions to be shared by 4. £20 pp equates to £80 for four and did not seem value for money! We won’t be going back in 2023. There are better value afternoon teas out there.

Great food with a touch of sophistication.

You don’t have to wear a tie to eat at The Potters’ Club, but (gentlemen) I would recommend it. Wear a jacket at least. I mention this because in an age of the cult of informality, The Potters’ Club still provides a formal dining experience with high standards and attention to stylish detail. The club was founded in the 1950s and the dining room still has the atmosphere of the first class dining room on a trans-Atlantic liner. It’s another world, discreetly sheltered from the view of nearby Stoke station. The menu is less extensive than it used to be, but a more limited selection has allowed them to focus on quality. The staff are extremely helpful: commendably respectful without being stuffy. You used to have to be a member to eat there, but this is no longer the case. That said, it remains an oasis. Many people don’t even know it’s there. If so -and if they see a degree of formality as a pleasure rather than an imposition- they really are missing out.

Very friendly staff . Exquisite food and great clientle

We had a lovely Afternoon tea. Very tasty sandwiches, cakes and loads of freshly made tea. All served by very friendly attentive staff in very comfy, stylish surroundings. Oh and the loos are very clean, very stylish too with lovely soap and hand lotion! Excellent afternoon Thank you.

Traditional club. Comfortable fine dining.

Pretty pointless advertising your afternoon teas if you do not bother to reply to enquiries on your web site.

Beautiful yet again ..Thank you

A hidden gem in the heart of the potteries!

First visit back to The Potters Club, since lockdown, and we weren't disappointed. Covid guidelines were all in place and adhered too. Excellent selection of sandwiches and cakes to choose from. Service was efficient and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Beautiful venue, lots of space around the tables. Friendly polite staff.

Great food, good distancing, super sraff and safe systems.

I don't Dislike the Potters Club..I just think it now looks, and feels, very tired..it's sad to see. The lack of financial investment, to refurb, to bring a smile to the place, has had a depressing effect. Also, the standard of cuisine is no where close to being 'special'..yet, the price of food is far too much..it's unrealistic.

Lovely place. Friendly. Good service. Smart and clean.

Great service, lovely food. Highly recommended.

Attended with friends for a Jazz lunch. Service and food were excellent. Whilst the restaurant was full, we were not rushed in any way and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Attended an event here and was quite looking forward to it. The setting is very pleasant and an upmarket feel BUT. Unfortunately the food itself was very disappointing being overcooked and dry. We were a large party of about 5 tables of 8/10 people which could be a contributing factor but wouldn’t be encouraged to try again.

Stunning setting ,staff ,atmosphere and food Fabulous evening gorgeous cocktails and food could not fault it Urge anyone to try it you will be amazed 👍👍

Held a party here in the private room for 40 people. The food and service was absolutely fantastic. The staff have a perfect way of meeting everyone’s needs with an air of such ease, extremely professional.Excellent value .Will definitely return.

We visited Potters several months ago and felt the service, food and staff was very good which is why we decided to visit again with our family who we wanted to treat. It is a lovely venue and our waiter our that evening was very professional and attentive. Only criticism is that there was no background music playing. Unfortunately the service and food was nowhere near as good as the first time. The starters were average and not much of it as one of us had the chicken and there was very little. The main courses - my partner had cod which was not very filling, so much so that we ended up calling to get a Mac Donald’s on the way home! Myself and another family member had the steak which was chewy and quite basic. Dessert - this wasn’t great either, I had the chefs trio special which was not very nice the purée crumble was awful, little portions and not very appealing. The red wine was the highlight to be fair it was lovely, we had 2 bottles of the melodious Malbec. The waiter managed to serve the males of the party first when pouring the water and then they took our plates when we hadn’t all finished eating which I found quite rude. I asked for the bill and rather than it being placed in the centre of the table or given to me as I had asked for it it was given to our guest which was a little awkward. Unfortunately we will not be visiting again as it was very expensive for a less than average evening out!

Great ambiance great food and really first class service, can't wait to go again. Whis is this coming Sunday for the Jazz lunch, I feel this could become one of my favorite eating places.

I was invited to a dinner and reception here. The venue is lovely with fine examples of exquisite local pottery art in the rooms. It is spotlessly clean. The food is very good and is well presented. It is served by a small team of great staff. The only downside is wheelchair access. There are a few one steps from the rear entrance and the lift is tiny - you have to remove footplates to get in.

The food at the Potters' Club was excellent and many staff were welcoming and attentive. Unfortunately one or two seemed somewhat reluctant to help. A request for tea instead of coffee was greeted with a rather undisguised "tut"!

Great atmosphere and excellent food

Great staff and a hidden gem whether it be a business or pleasure visit

Visited the Potters Club last night for the champagne dinner. 🍾The food and wine were exceptional. The first course was a delicious chicken terrine served with a glass of champagne described by Andy so well. The second course was a lovely parsnip soup again served with a pairing champagne. The main course was short rib of beef which was so tender and tasty with a champagne that matched perfectly. The desert course was a frangipan tart with a Demi sec champagne. The whole evening was most enjoyable with wonderful food and wine. Well done to everyone.

Once again, the Potters Club provided a splendid venue to host a business lunch with a visiting CEO from Bournemouth. Prestigious setting & a wonderful three course luncheon with a lovely Pinot Noir. My guest was suitably impressed...another big thumbs up for Stoke-on-Trent.

Visited here for a business lunch and this very grand place. Treated like royalty with grandeur and utmost respect. Very lovely restaurant and the food was first class as was the service. Not cheap but a very special place. A place to go if you get the chance to.

It is a very elegant place, the service was good, staff very nice and polite, the food was average and the choices very limited, they were not prepared despite the place was booked in advance, people could not choose the food, I was left with a very bland risotto tasteless, the food left down the place

I visited on a non members day I have never considered membership but after my experience I really can see the appeal !This is truly a hidden gem ! The decor Is very nice and well maintained and I felt it had an Art Deco feel in the dining room .The staff were friendly and welcoming .

Very elegant place and good food quality.

My mum & I came for a pre theatre lunch. The service was the best I’ve had, with attention to the little details, this type of service is rare to find these days.

Had the pleasure of a meeting and lunch at the Potters Club earlier this month.

We are country members and so do not get many opportunities to visit.

Great food and service. We were invited to dinner by some friends who are members at the Potters Club. We enjoyed it very much. Lovely atmosphere and elegant surroundings. Would love to be back some day.

5 star service, 5 star food. A lovely hidden gem in the heart of Stoke On Trent. Beautiful interior, lovely food and drinks with great service. I highly recommend eating here or come for drinks.

Cuatro de nosotros nos fuimos para la cena en el último minuto.

Beautiful place.gorgeous food.attentive staff

Very luxurious atmosphere. Attentive service. Great food and wine selection. Good for business meetings.

Lovely venue for a quiet lunch, attentive staff, great food choice and qualty. Ideal for business or pleasure.

Este fue un excelente Partido de año nuevo. El ambiente del año nuevo estaba dispuesta a través de la decoración sofisticada del comedor y el entretenimiento. Este evento también fue utilizada para celebrar mi 90 cumpleaños de padres. Éramos un grupo de 18. La comida era extraordinaria, elegantemente presentado, muy sabrosa y consistía en una serie de platos de cortesía. Quizás de más atención fue el servicio que fue ejemplar, especialmente cuando el tamaño de nuestro grupo es tomado en cuenta. También la atención a las necesidades dietéticas individuales era encomiable, especialmente porque el restaurante estaba lleno.

The Management team decided to have a Christmas Party so we went to the Potters club Glitter Ball. We had an excellent evening food was good great company and entertainmanet. This is a members club but with special offers on membership is worth loking at.

Great place. And elegant reminder of a time mostly long since past. Service and quality of food is very good. Very impressive.

He sido miembro durante unos 5 o 6 años y me fui por un año. Me reincorporó a principios de este año y estoy contento QUE YO.

Cena de negocios, buena comida, aunque me hubiera gustado más si. El personal es realmente encantador. Comimos en un comedor privado que era agradable pero bastante olor podrían tan rancias un poco de refrescarnos

We were reminded as to why we should renew our membership of the Potters Club when we were taken by friends for a meal, having not eaten at the Club for some time. The elegant surroundings were calm and cool on a very hot summer evening. The meal was excellent with a range of interesting starters. Two of us had a minis caesar salad, which had plenty of good seasoning (not always the case in other restaurants that serve this dish) and a superb caesar dressing. One of the others in our party had a very attractively presented cod dish, with the remaining person had a started with a mixture of items, all beautifully presented. Our mains were equally delicious and interesting. The Wade gluggle jog provided amusement and these can be purchased at the Club - a nice touch. I checked the price out on Wade's website and they cost the same at the Club as they do if bought directly from Wade. We took our coffees in the lounge. The coffee was really good and we did not have to ask for pouring cream (it's a must with good coffee), which really impressed me. The accompanying chocolates were good. My only criticism, and I know that this is controversial and people have different views on this, is that I don't like the piped music in the dining room. It simply isn't necessary and for me has a negative impact on ambiance, particularly if the speaker is right next to one's table, as it was in our case. However, the music was not too loud and didn't spoil our evening. Equally, I accept that some people like to have music piped into their surroundings. As for the cost: it was very reasonable and mid-range. All in all, we left feeling that we must renew our membership of the Club! It's a brilliant place to relax and to find good food with excellent service. Having the air conditioning on such a hot evening was a joy too.

I have been a member for 18 months but a guest for many years, and as the annual subscription charge is so reasonable - about 75p per day - it was foolish not to join and enjoy all the benefits. The food is ranked among the best in North Staffordshire (a part of the country with no Michelin-starred chefs); the ambiance is elegant but relaxed, a more casual dress code now being acceptable; there is no embarrassing initial interview to undergo; there is a comfortable lounge and restaurant, two private function rooms, an intimate bar and the meal prices are more than competitive (£19.95 for a 3-course lunch). Membership also offers affiliation to a select few clubs throughout the world. A visit to London's National Liberal Club alone is worth the membership subscription. However, it is the staff who make The Potters' Club particularly special - friendly, efficient and helpful. If you care to drop in - it's hidden away on the top floor of Federation House opposite Stoke station - the staff will take time to show you round. It will be worth it.

I resigned from this club 18months ago when my wife got cancer. She is now thankfully recovering with a good prognosis. I called the club, explained that my membership had lapsed and why and I asked if we could visit for Sunday lunch as guests. The club kindly agreed. So we had a table for 6.Needless to say everything was as good as it always was. The staff have changed with the exception of Joanna who was very helpful.The lunch was excellent and we all enjoyed it.If I'm contacted it is my intention to renew my membership, but we live in Dorset so it works out very expensive.Overall I recommend it to anyone.

From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome with friendly attentive staff. The food and drink were delicious, with good quality food to order and a large selection of wines to choose from. The staff could not be more helpful. We will definitely be returning!

We visited this members' club to decide whether to join. Everyone was very welcoming, we had a set three course lunch with wine and thoroughly enjoyed the food and peaceful surroundings. Interesting pottery and a place with fascinating history. A great place to relax. Thoroughly recommend, we will be joining!.

The Potters is a members club originally for the business people of Stoke-on-Trent. We were here for a friends birthday lunch. There is a fantastic sense of history and tradition in lovely surroundings.It was a pity that our party of six was the only one in the restaurant for what turned out to be a delicious three course lunch. The birthday boy and myself went for roast beef which was absolutely delicious and rare accompanied with very well cooked veg.. Others went for generous portions of well cooked chicken and fish.Service was first class.Overall a great experience.

I needed to host several colleagues from around the UK for a business meeting in Stoke. Being a member of the Potter's Club it was the obvious venue to use especially being so close to Stoke Railway Station. My colleagues arrived at 10.30am & enjoyed coffee & Danish pastries in the lounge before using the Johnson room for our business meeting. Lunch of assorted sandwiches proved ideal. My colleagues were thoroughly impressed by their impressive surroundings (including appreciative mentions of the excellent toilets!). Well done Potter's Club!

I've been going to The Potter's Club for 30 years but of late, I haven't been for quite some time - No particular reason why not....I went this weekend for a friends birthday and as always, it was as it always has been: Great service, good wine list, decent food and historical surroundings.I have been in the ceramic industry for 39 years and regard this place almost as a shrine to times gone by.The first time I went a a young man, I had to borrow a tie to get in - This time, I wore a tie and you actually don't need one now!!!Long may it continue.

Amazing dining experience at one of the last stands of a proper formal members dining club. From a very unassuming exterior, you are transported into a wonderful Art-Deco interior, with a quiet, assured standard of service you only get from the best professionals. Food standard is exceptionally high, with imaginative menus, beautifully presented and with amazing textures and flavors - true fine dining.Loved every minute - go if you get the chance

If you are around my age (mid to late 40's) no doubt you will remember Mr Benn who arrives at a fancy dress shop, goes through a magic door and enters another world - this is it !!! Park in the free rear car park, enter the lift, up you go to the upper floor and arrive in a private club .... I have been very fortunate to visit the Potters Club for lunch on a few occasions and have never been disappointed - from the moment the lift doors open I was welcomed and taken in to the lounge where I could order a drink and meet the other guests. When ready (at our pace which is nice) we all ordered from an excellent menu and were escorted in to the dining room to be seated. Silver service all the way and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I had leek and potato soup with a curried scallop, sirloin steak and then ice cream and it was superb - not hurried by the staff and plenty of time to enjoy our meal, drinks and then coffee / liquors back in the lounge. You do either need to be a member or guest to enjoy this so check out their website for further information. For Stoke on Trent this is a gem !!!!!!

Recently had dinner here at this very impressive restaurant. The Potters Club has old elegance where a member can relax and enjoy a sanctuary of peace and quiet. Decor is kept to a plain but elegant standard. It was very good to see items of pottery that may never be made again since the demise of the pottery industry. Wedgwood, Spode Aynsleys and Moorcroft . The food and wine served was excellent, we ate in the dinning room , service was quite good but not excellent. However it was a very present surprise to find such elegance. Well done Potters Club. Members fee to join.

Federation house (Potters club) is a very traditional members club. Service is impeccable and cost of food reasonable.Alcohol more pricey (beer, lemonade and bottle of £24) but not extortionate.Relaxed atmosphere but attentive service.Food menu limited but good quality.Recommend for business lunch or group meal.Will definitely return.

Having literally never heard of this place before, I went for a work meal with colleagues from our Stoke office and I was very pleasantly suprised by the ambiance, the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. Don't forget the token for the car park though or its back up in the lift to get one

My first trip to "The Fed Club" was when I was a small boy. My dad, a well known local Doctor,was and still is a member. We used to go as a family for birthdays and special occasions.Roland was head barman in those days and he used to come to our house to run the bar for parties and the like. This place is a real throw back to a bygone era and has to be my favourite place to dine,anywhere. The ambience and unhurried service are unique, almost upper class Edwardian!Despite living hundreds of miles away, we still try to visit once a year and so look forward to it.Quite how a place like this has survived astounds me but survive it has and I'm certain it will continue to delight many hundreds of people in the future.

My dad was a committee member back in the day. These days the membership qualification has been relaxed but the standards, service and food are as excellent as ever. Don't forget that tie and jacket!I booked a private room for a 60th birthday celebration on a Sunday lunchtime. We were well looked after by the very attentive staff and the whole experience was very pleasing.It is hard to believe that establishments such as this continue, offering a first class service in a pleasant non-rushed environment.

We wanted somewhere good for a meal and chose the Potters Club. We were not disappointed - we started with soup and duck spring rolls, followed by, at my request when booking, some excellent fillet steaks they had bought in especially for us. All in all, a very nice meal, in very nice surroundings.

Although the food is very good, it is not Michelin-starred except on the occasions when a well-known chef is invited. However, what makes The Potters Club outstanding is the high quality of the staff and the ambience. The atmosphere is relaxed and much less formal than it used to be. The prices may be a little higher than normal but well worth it for the service and atmosphere, which is better -suited to adults, although there are private rooms for family parties. Monthly ladies' lunches are amazing value - £22 for 3 courses, a glass of wine, coffee and chocolates. It is a members' only club but membership costs are less than £300 p.a. and members are not restricted to the number of guests they can invite. It is amazing that such a restaurant exists in a city like Stoke on Trent and it deserves to thrive.

This is by far one of the best 5 star restaurants in the Stoke area. It's like stepping back to a by gone erea, genteel atmosphere, polite respectful staff & wonderful tasty food served on locally produced tableware. Fantastic venue with parking in the city centre.

It is a surprise to find an old style members club in this setting,.The furnishing,china ,crystal ,including chandeliers,befit the Club name.The rooms including the private ones are spacious and the staff extremely attentive.i have visited several times,as a member, and as a guest. In small and large groups.The cellar and food are good but not outstanding. The facilty is of good quality without outstanding character other than being underused

We called in for lunch, it is excellent, so it's not cheap, but you can't get 'owt worth having for nowt! This visit was a business lunch on a week day, but whether that or for a real quality Sunday lunch, or evening meal, the club is unrivalled in North Staffordshire. Try it, and then join, you won't regret it.

Went here with a couple of friends must say the food is outstanding. Can't wait to return well done every one.

A very special place. The food is very good, service is excellent and you eat off Stoke on Trent china and drink from Waterford Crystal! Recommend to all.

I haven't been for a sit down meal in the restaurant yet. But I've been for a quick lunch. Both times I've tried the different platters. They were tasty although the vegetarian option wasn't very proportionate compared to the other platters. Service and atmosphere was good.

I tried The Potters Club with a business associate before Christmas and found the whole experience so enjoyable that I joined the club along with a business colleague.Since then we've been every month as a foursome and have enjoyed every visit immensely. There is always a varied and interesting menu. The food is beautifully cooked and presented by staff who know how to look after you and are pleasant, friendly and professional.For a private members club the prices are competitive. The wine list is nothing short of sensational.In my humble opinion, the ambience contributes to the enjoyment of the evening as much as the food and wine.The bar is cosy, well stocked and they serve a mean array of cocktails. The dining room is beautifully decorated and the lounge is comfortable and perfect to relax with a nightcap to finish off your evening.The Potters Club is steeped in tradition and has also relaxed its dress code slightly to reflect modern times.If you get the opportunity to go I would urge you to give it s try and I'm sure that if you do you will be as tempted to join as we were.

A business dinner with professional colleagues. Food very goodService exceptional Dining room superb or a business meeting as private and classy. expensive though

Dinner on a Friday evening. Beautiful starter, Ravioli slow cooked pheasant in a mushroom Sorel broth. Beautiful. My husband had the chorizo risotto in a filo basket . Also lovely. Ate at Petrus, one star Michelin, London a couple of weeks ago for lunch and the starter wasn't as good as these.Main course smoked cod loin with saffron and mussel sauce was good. Coffee and chocolates in the lounge were good, although espresso machine is coming soon.Wines by the glass are very much a step up from the usual you receive in establishments such as this.Service excellent. If this restaurant was in London at this price it would be packed !Private members club so the annual subscription, but you do get reciprocal club entry in London and Edinburgh which makes this a very reasonable offer.Would recommend, especially outside of London.

Ate here for a business lunch with two clients (one a member).The building is indeed a wonderful bit of history and there are some glorious examples of Staffordshire pottery to be seen throughout. From the cosy bar to the impressive dining room (there is more than one) the setting is a lovely piece or history. The food was excellent and the service flawless in gorgeous surroundings. The selection of desserts was particularly good. The total bill for 3 courses with a bottle of decent wine and a drink beforehand was very reasonable given the quality of the food and the surroundings.Definitely worth a visit if you know someone who is a member.

Nice for a special occasion for family and friends. This is a great place for lovely food and nice helpful staff. It is an experience to relax in great surroundings and is not expensive, well worth a visit.

This place is one of a dying breed. Beautiful decor. Fantastic food. Lovely staff.All in all a gem. We went as a group of 4 on a friday night and unfortunately for them there was only 1 other table in. We all had different meals but the Lamb roast that I had was exquisite.Highly Recommended.Not suitable for children. Too many things to knock over.

My grandfather has been a member for many years now and I have always found it a delight going for family events, birthdays, Christmas meal, the family gathering etc... Throughout my entire life the Potters Club has never disappointed me.

Our daughter came home for a weekend visit and we wanted somewhere "nice" to eat. The Potters Club fitted the bill perfectly as she lives 100+ miles away so doesn't get to go there very often. Two starters of soup went down very well, followed by a steak, a fish pie and a Belly Pork - all were excellent - treats abounded as we had a driver so the Bollinger and Barolo were very well received. A great evening and a much under utilised restaurant - join the club and go!

I was invited by a member of the club for lunch today(16/7/14) and were greeted politely by the receptionist.The bar where we had our pre lunch drinks did not seemed to have changed since the first time I was there which was thirty years ago.The club has a soothing stability and the no nonsense food is a nice change to the restaurants who are trying too hard.The staff are friendly and helpful and although not Michelin star,the meal was nicely cooked and most enjoyable.You need to be invited by a member so look around and ask your friends,if you are lucky someone will take you there!

Nineteen of us assembled for a family lunch to celebrate my step-granddaughter's 21st. birthday, including six children aged from 2 to 9.We occupied the Johnson room (a private dining room) and ordered on arrival from the normal lunch menu. Under any circumstances this would be a difficult task for any restaurant, but the staff were superb. They attended to the children with great patience and thoughtfulness. Service was excellent, and the standard of food to the usual high standard. The event was a huge success - mainly due to the professionalism of the staff.

Dropped in for coffee and croissants with some colleagues. Great quality. There is a dress code and the very professional staff ensure a refined atmosphere

I attended a meeting at the Potters Club yesterday and have to say that the service is of a 5 Star establishment. From the moment you walk in to the minute you leave nothing is to much trouble.

I wouldnt believe a place like this existed in stoke on trent, superb service, food and atmosphere. Well worth a visit

We have just had a wonderful evening. Popped into the Club for a light supper with drinks at 6pm, walked around the corner to the Film Theater and back to the Club with friends for Coffee and Chocolates to discuss the film, The Wolf of Wall Street. A wonderful way to spend an evening enjoying the beautiful surroundings, service and food of the Potters Club. The Cosmopolitans are to die for!!

Dine like royalty .. indeed this is where The Queen, Prince Philip and Princess margaret have dined in the past . Gem of a place.. fantastic attentive staff , wonderful food ambiance and decor what more can you ask for? .. and not expensive .. see the web site !! We last went for a fantastic Burns night supper superb food and fantastic evening with wonderful piper present.Looking forward to another wonderful valentines ball on the 15th feb .. Come on anyone out there who loves fine dining, wonderful cocktails fine wines fantasic staff and lovely surroundings for the price of dinner in a local pub !!! join us it is much cheaper than you would think and i promise you will be amazed at what is on our doorstep !! Mary from stoke on trent

Great food with fantastic service from friendly staff. A good place for family gatherings and parties from 2 people to 35 or 40. The restaurant and separate dining rooms for parties work well and have always provided a warm welcome. The venue is on the top floor of Federation House but is only available to members and their guests, but is worth every penny of the membership fee.
