The Pottery in Kingston upon Thames

I’m very sorry, but is a VERY EXPENSIVE rate price - quality. A expresó coffee with vanilla ice cream scoop it cost 10£. Anyway, I feel stolen

Good atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Decent portion sizes for the tapas, recommend going for this option so you can try the many tasty dishes they have to offer.

Jackson our server was outstanding an very lovely to talk to. The food was amazing with so many unique flavours. Thank you so much!

We had the best time, both food drinks and service were absolutely incredible. both Jackson and Gaurav were excellent!! We will definitely be back

Had a great dinner on Friday with my friends. This is a lovely intimate restaurant with great service and food 👌🏼

Had a fantastic evening here on Christmas Eve, the Pottery is one of our favourite restaurants in the area and they didn't disappoint on this busy pre-Christmas evening. Food as usual was absolutely superb, a special mention for the gambas pil pil, quesedilla, whitebait, padron peppers and the patatas bravas - all were delicious. The cocktails were amazing and came packed full of flavour and quite a few shots (!) and are a work or art in themselves as they are so beautifully presented (the Caipirinha are especially tasty !). The restaurant was buzzing with a great atmosphere, but the service was always excellent and friendly. We had one of our best family evenings out in a long time and will be back again very soon. I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly. The owner and his wife really do go the extra mile to make sure your evening is relaxed and fun filled with delicious food and a great ambiance.

They even gave us a Christmas present as we left of a lovely bottle of prosecco which was a really thoughtful touch. PS There is also a pretty flower-filled garden at the back which is great on warmer evenings.

Lovely restaurant amazing tapas and generous portions..will definitely return.

A family run business that offer a wide variety in their menu. Including Brazilian dishes! I would suggest to try the Brazilian ‘feijoada’. It is delicious! The atmosphere is very nice and they allow dogs in!

Lovely warm atmosphere. Really welcoming host. And the food was delicious!

Excellent food and service - I went with a Brazilian friend and we enjoyed the cheese rolls, the fantastic feijoada and the delectable Brazilian short ribs. We can’t wait to visit again - this venue is super dog friendly too x

Love this place! The food is stunning as always, and the service and atmosphere is always warm and welcoming!!!

Toni in reception was so friendly and helpful and had such positive vibes! He went out of his way to help me find my lost phone and was so calm and helpful throughout, calling me back and updating me about various questions i was asking. All staff should learn from him how to be honest and reliable! Thanks so much, Toni!

Service was amazing they catered to our every need. Would recommend to everyone.

We hosted my husband’s 40th birthday party at The Pottery and had the absolute perfect evening thanks to the amazing food, great atmosphere and fantastic staff! Couldn’t recommend highly enough having a party/celebration or a special event at Pottery - fantastic!

It was very satisfying meal with great hospitality from owner 6 of us really enjoyed eating tapas & atmosphere was great for Christmas early mood!

Lovely food, beautifully decorated and great service! Will definitely be back soon.

Great food and service from one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Would recommend.

great pub, delicious food and service

Delicious food with a friendly service. I will definitely come back.

Amazing place to enjoy with friends and family. Great vibe and delicious food options. I’d definitely come back there.

What a wonderful experience, the food was soo good and rich

Went out to the pottery for a light dinner and some drinks with my friend, Jackson and Sagun provided amazing service. Food was excellent and drinks were lovely. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Jackson and his lovely staff took wonderful care of us when we held our mother’s wake at The Tapestry. They could not have been more helpful and attentive. The food was delicious and you could tell it was all freshly prepared in their kitchen. I am so pleased we decided to celebrate my mother’s life there, it truly made a difficult day easier. Thank you Jackson.

Amazing resturant, the service is really good and food is amazing. Lovely staff & atmosphere, everyone is extremely friendly! Would 100% recommend.

One of our favourite restaurants which is why we have to visit whenever we're in Kingston. Great food and lovely staff.

We dropped by the Pottery spontaneously at an awkward time of day for a meal (3pm) and were warmly welcomed. The service was extremely friendly and all the dishes we ordered were so good! Even the bread was warm and fresh. An extra surprise was kombucha that was brewed in house rather than from a can. Looking forward to our next visit.

Ashamed to say this was our first visit having lived close by for a long time. Instantly felt at home, the staff were super friendly and relaxed. The atmosphere was great and the food was exactly what we wanted, loads of different dishes for our party of eight. A couple of interesting Mexican inspired dishes was a nice surprise, nachos and quesadillas both delicious. The Spanish tortilla was a huge hit. We will definitely be back again soon.

My two daughters and I visited this lovely Tapas Bar last Friday evening and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the bar had a real buzz about it. We were served quickly and each of us had three tapas dishes, all delicious and more than enough. The cocktails to accompany them were also excellent. Definitely worth a visit and you won’t be disappointed.

Great food, friendly staff, had a fab evening. Pork Belly and Beef Ribs a favourite for the meat eaters. Veggies loved the Goats Cheese and Padron Peppers. Patatas Bravas all round winner with everyone.

Great tapas bar, friendly service and good food. Kingston's hidden gem

My favourite place in Kingston upon Thames. The food is always good and service efficient and friendly.

Staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming, will be recommending this restaurant and bar to everyone I know! What an amazing experience, I had the Sangria and that was beautiful

Excellent place with a very warm and cosy vibe

Lovely staff and the food was excellent.

Excellent. Would highly recommend

Amazing waiter and service, would deffo recommend and the food is delicious and atmosphere is amazing!

Finally managed to go to The Pottery and it didn’t disappoint! Really cosy and quirky, lovely attentive staff (knowledgable too) and the food was delicious! Just be aware that the nachos and feta/apple salad are huge and not regular sized tapas plates. Delicious, will definitely be back. Thanks all :)

We visited for a birthday meal and just loved this place with the lovely garden. Beautiful atmosphere ,every corner. Wonderful service from every member of the staff. Especially the owner lady went the extra mile for our birthday cake. Super friendly and welcoming. (Thank you for your genuine and warm-hearted hospitality!) Seafood paella, padron pepper, whitebait were delicious with generous portion. Definitely going back👍

Me and the husband enjoyed a great experience with a unique setting and great food. Excellent.

Many of the dishes were too spicy for our liking (lots of chilli). It would have been great if there had been an indication of this on the menu (spice rating). Having said that the food was well prepared, well presented and tasted good

Bravo and thank you. The Feijoada was fabulous!

The food is excellent and comes in good portions, the service is super courteous and both the atmosphere and the facilities are super pleasant. I always recommend it because I will go back there more often.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Pottery Tapas Bar! The food was simply delicious, with generous portions and an incredible variety of flavors. The service was super friendly, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal. The value for money is outstanding, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. The atmosphere was lovely—warm and inviting, with a beautiful garden area that added to the charm. Overall, just an excellent place to dine! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a wonderful experience.”

The food was delicious and very good size portions. If we lived locally we would definitely would be back 100% recommend

Super tapas bar in Kingston-upon-Thames. The service was a bit muddled, but everybody was friendly.

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere! Food never disappoints and the service is unbelievable! Very excited to try their other venue out in Mortlake as have had such great experiences here!

Had a lovely time with my partner, when we came in we were welcomed so nicely. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, I am personally a very big fan of tapas and I have to say I was not disappointed, the food was amazing and the desserts were amazing, they really put detail in the presentation. Would definitely come back again. Best part was the garden, i did not realise how much the restaurant extended until I got there. Perfect place all year round!!!

I don't often write reviews but this place was outstanding. The decor is breathtaking - obviously someone skilled in interior design: from the colours to the butterflies on the ceiling. The food was also excellent - especially the fish cakes which had just the right amount of spicy kick and the meat skewers. I would have like to try the beef rib but would have been too much food. We went on a Monday night so it was quite quiet but I can imagine it is very busy through the weekend. Service was great but maybe flattered by it being quiet. Food arrived very fast. We will visit again.

Had a nice lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. The food was very good. My daughter especially liked the meat skewers and the potatas bravas. I liked the prawns and fish croquettes. The calimares was tasty too. The bread and Olive oil was a hit. The bread was fresh, warm and great for mopping up the remanence of anything with a sauce. Service as polite, friendly and efficient. It was quiet when I went but the decor is fine and the seating was comfortable. Overall it’s pretty good value. But I do think £9 for padron peppers is unusually high. It’s a good place

5 stars service and the food is great too. Thanks and we will be back

It was a date night with my wife for my birthday. The food was delicious , and all the staff treated us really well. They are so kind and lovely. Hope to visit again soon!

Lovely Tapas bar tucked away on the outskirts of Kingston. Food excellent and staff very friendly and accommodating. Well worth a visit, good value and tasty food, what more do you want?

Incredible food, great service as well. The restaurant itself looks done up really nice too. 100% would recommend.

Excellent! Nice atmosphere, very tasty food!

Lovely food, amazing service and such a nice ambience, we had an amazing evening here tonight!

Very friendly local restaurant, really thoughtful interesting decor and tasty cocktails.

My daughters and I moved to live in Kingston upon Thames in 2017 and our first dinner took place at the Pottery. Since then this place became our perfect family gathering place where we celebrating our birthdays, achievements, bringing our family and friends for a night out, having date nights with my husband. The legendary vegetarian nachos is our “must have” at the Pottery. You can try nachos everywhere in the UK and will discover a simple truth - Pottery nachos are the best!

We’ve been coming to the Pottery for many years. Great food, great decor and great staff. Wonderful garden in the summer for a quiet drink or a full tapas extravaganza. Love this place

Can’t believe we have never been here before! Fantastic food and great service. Recommend the house paella. Certainly will come back soon.

Went with friends, relaxing, welcoming host. Warm and cosy atmosphere. Great food

Nice place and great food. Wide varieties of tapas to choose from. Jackson and other staff members were very accomodating. And we even have a reservation for an upcoming event where Jackson answered all of our queries. Definitely will keep coming back to this place. 😊🥰

Always a friendly welcome, great drinks and good food. Love this place and have been coming for years 😍

Rudy was a superb server, super star

Very friendly staff and great service. And delicious food and very affordable. And I loved the garden and interior decoration. 😊👍

Excellent lunch at their lovely terrace. Would highly recommend their calamares and house paella. The staff was also super friendly, great service!

Really like this place, I've been many times. It's my fave restaurant in the area. The outside garden is lovely, a nice place to spend a summers evening with friends. We enjoyed tapas and the best cocktails in town. Particularly the mojito and g&t. Thank you Jackson for a warm welcome every time, see you soon.

The pottery in Kingston amazing Resturant, friendly staff beautifully decorated with a real Brazilian vibe. Food 10/10 cocktails lethal a great night out. Best restaurant in Kingston by a mile

Love the Pottery. Rudy took care of us and made sure we had an awesome evening. Recommend this place highly.

Great Spanish food, with good options for kids.

I’ve loved going to The Pottery for at least 20 years. Jackson is a delightful host, the venue and food atmospheric and delicious respectively. A brilliant neighborhood meeting place.

We are new to the area & popped in for a bite to eat. Such a warm welcome and lovely food! We’ll defo be back!

Amazing food, brilliant staff. Just great!!

Great spot for spending time with your family

The staff were really friendly and helpful. I didn't eat here but had some cocktails and they were great. Nice garden too.

The lunch here made us feel like we were in Spain. The garden had really nice summer vibes, the service was quick and friendly. We liked the tapas we tried and the house paella was really good too. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing food, both tapas and traditional pub grub at reasonable prices. Great selection of drinks too. Nice ambience, love the decorations especially inside. Staff are all super friendly and good at what they do, especially the manager Jackson. Always great customer service and a smile, plus a bit of banter if interested. Absolute gem of a local pub and am lucky to live near it.

A family lunch at an old favourite where we’ve enjoyed many wonderful meals over many years. The food is great and we sat in the beautiful garden and it was as good as ever!

We went for lunch Tapas was amazing portions good size service is get lovely young man served us will go again

Really enjoyed our visit to the Pottery. Delicious food, lovely drinks and friendly staff. Fantastic paella and sangria

We came back here yesterday after a year away, the owner/manager was as friendly as ever and we immediately felt welcome. The food was as good as we remembered, we had a mix of six tapas, a couple of San Miguel lager shandies on what was a really hot day and ice cream sorbet and passion fruit mousse for dessert. All clean plates, service with a smile and satisfied customers. Would recommend if you are in the Kingston Richmond Park area and you like Spanish food.

Wonderful time at this restaurant. It was wonderful, the staff were amazing. Jackson was incredible greeting us with a wonderful smile and his warming presence. I would definitely revisit again. Fantastic restaurant. Our waiter was amazing and brought us out a complimentary ice cream. Made my night so special!

We went for a memorial lunch and party here the other week and the service was impeccable. Jackson and his team were great. Nothing was too much. They even made me something that wasn’t on rhe menu. Food is great, atmosphere fab and great staff. Will be coming back again!

The tapas were all delicious and reasonably priced and the desert blew us away. The best spanish dessert I’ve ever had!

It's such a warm friendly place to and eat and to relax with family and friends! Jackson and lucia are so kind and welcoming!

Lovely authentic Spanish food great service and friendly staff will most definitely come back, highly recommend the paella!

The food is amazing and the reception is absolutely wonderful. We had a Kingston Hospital group food & drink. Thank you

It’s a local pub at the residential area which provides some special dishes e.g. paella. We ordered the chicken paella and calamari. It’s a bit spicy but I like it:) We came on weekday so it’s not that busy. Will definitely visit again!

Nice food and drink. Kids loved the kid's meal and the toys came with the meal.

After having driven past and commenting how lovely this place looked, we finally went in and we are so glad we did! The decor is really fun without it being overcrowded. The staff were really friendly and attentive straight away. We had a selection of tapas, all of which was delicious but the MVP for me was the vegan paella. I’ve had vegetarian paella in the past which has been just ok but this one was full of flavour and perfectly cooked. We ordered way more than we needed for two people because the portion sizes were bigger than expected, which was a great surprise. We ordered coffee to finish, and were pleased to find the coffee was also top notch. To round off an amazing dining experience, the staff came out with some ice cream for us on the house. We will 100000% be back, with friends in tow. We sat inside by the bar but next time we will go for a seat in the beautiful outdoor area.

Amazing authentic spanish food as always, and five star friendly service a hidden gem

Fantastic afternoon for my dad’s memorial celebration!! The staff were very attentive, making sure people glasses were full and the food which was tapas, was amazing. Beautifully presented and fabulous flavours!!

This place offers delicious, expertly crafted tapas in a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food is flavorful and varied, and the decor blends rustic charm with modern touches, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Friendly staff add to the excellent dining experience.

Lovely service and great portion sizes too for tapas!!

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. It’s my favourite place to go to for a delicious meal with a tasty drink and chilled atmosphere. Both - the inside and outside - are colourful, vibrant and spacious. I love the coziness and the decor of this place. The garden is simply beautiful - full of colours, lights, mirrors and greenery. You kind of feel like you’re on a holiday abroad. The drinks here are a delight, with the best Sangria and cocktails that are beautifully decorated with flowers. They also come in jugs which is great for sharing with friends. The food is outstanding. My favourite is the House Paella. It has the perfect mix of meats and seafood, and the portions are wonderfully generous. The deserts are also delicious - I will never forget this massive portion of Berry Crumble I had here. It was superb. This is the ideal place for a summer hang out or cozy winter evening. With its chilled vibes, this restaurant feels like home. The staff are super helpful and friendly. This place never disappoints and I love to come back. My go to for delicious dinner and drink in a beautiful garden (or indoors) with lovely, chilled atmosphere. Every visit feels special and I enjoy showing this wonderful place to my friends. Absolutely love it!

We had a wonderful evening on Tuesday 16th July with family and friends. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and Jackson and Rudi were AMAZING. Food was delicious- in fact some of the best Tapas we have ever had and the Paella was out of this world, both the chicken, chorizo and shellfish paella and the fish paella. I couldn't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU !!!

Excellent place to share and enjoy with friends and family...the attention and the exquisite dishes and the spectacular service...thank you Jackson for your kindness.

Really great food, will come back again!

Excellent place to eat and drink. Nice light bar at the front, cosy restaurant inside and spacious area outside. Definitely worth a visit!

This is my go-to place whenever I come to visit Kingston. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and the food and drinks are superb. I definitely would recommend their sangrias - they’re really tasty and frankly beautiful to look at. The server, Rudy, was very attentive and polite. If you get the chance to meet the owner he’s really kind as well. Overall great place to go!
