What a great find. Four hungry sailors were served a wonderful breakfast by the lovely owners. My smoked salmon with scrambled eggs were perfect, with lovely creamy eggs and good quality smoked salmon. The confirmed carnivore in the team had the small breakfast.. and he was struggling to pack it all away, and he did say that it consisted of very high quality sausages and bacon...and he is a real expert in these matters! The building is beautifully decorated in a really interesting way (visit yourself and see, don't just take it from me!) and the owners Shelly and Paul, were the perfect hosts. Everyone left the table with a contented smile and a full belly, and believe me; we have a good capacity for food, so the portions served were great value....well worth a visit and I heartily recommend it. It is so good that the "Ancient Mariners" will be visiting regularly from now on! Les Anciens Marins had another breakfast at the Potting Shed. We received a wonderful welcome from the lovely Shelly, got our order taken quickly and our food and a huge pot of tea arrived. This time I had the small veggie breakfast, which was a lovely change....veggie sausages, egg, potatoes, tomatoes and lovely brown toast. It was perfectly presented, and filled me up! Well worth the money, and...
Read moreWe’ve visited this restaurant again after a lovely walk at Yat Rock. It was a sunny and warm day, we sat in the garden with our dog for lunch. Inside is cosy, especially on a rainy/winters day!
I ordered (again!) the sausage, mash and onion gravy main dish, whilst my partner had the steak pie, mash and seasonal veg. Delicious!! It was piping hot, the sausages were very good - tasted as if they were locally sourced (unsure if they were) the gravy was homemade and full of flavour. My favourite dish!
The pie filling was plentiful and lots of vegetables on the side - which they may have been grown in the garden!
The portions are brilliant - great for starving walkers!
The menu is traditional British food made well! You can choose 3 courses here or just a hearty main course, which was perfectly big enough for us.
We highly recommend this place, it’s great homemade food, lovely atmosphere, fantastic service and great location. Dog &...
Read moreMade a reservation for a roast dinner last Sunday, middle aged women on the phone came across very brisk but it was the only place able to cater last minute. When we arrived she didn't greet us, was very abrupt and said to us before we even stepped into the place to sit down and she'll be a minute- very rude welcoming. Waitress who served us was very nice however and food arrived promptly. However the food was very expensive, 17 quid for a mediocre nutroast and some boiled veg! The same women was taking the payment and turned out she had also charged us 10% garden charge which she did not tell us when we asked on the phone. When I complained nicely about this, and the food she was extremely rude and abrupt. Disappointing as the place has decent reviews so unsure why we got the service and attitude we did. Won't...
