Great food and lovely service. Such a nice little pub.
We have always had a great time at the Flower Pot and love coming back for special occasions to stay in the hotel or just for food and drinks Xxx
When we arrived there were hardly anyone in the restaurant but still waited for 1/2 hour for our drinks. Ordered the roast lamb which was not tender, would say that it was over cooked to the point of having difficulty in cutting the meat. We ate there pre lockdown and the Yorkshire puds were definitely home made as they were huge and fluffy, the ones today were obviously frozen.
Food was lovely and service was excellent. Really fabulous pizzas
Fantastic service and food, as ever, at the Flower Pot. Would recommend without hesitation. On a very busy Mothering Sunday, the service was still first class. I was also very impressed that all the staff appeared to be under the age of 25. Great to see people of that generation both getting and clearly enjoying these opportunities.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere will definitely be back.
great meal and great staff will always return will recomend
Service was excellent as usual but the food was salty and roast potatoes were burnt. It was a shame as the rest of the food was lovely and great variety of vegetables. I also think dogs should be restricted to the bar area and not in restaurant area.
Really lovely value for money excellently served roast, top chef
Was a great meal, lovely service staff and a busy vibe
Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Food was very prompt and Lovely. Staff were lovely
Absolutely fantastic food coupled with equally fantastic service. Definitely recommend
Good food, lovely staff in a beautiful setting. Would go again.
Food and service was very good as usual however my wife’s order was originally brought up to her incorrect, this was soon rectified my tip would be to write the orders down.
Staff friendly. A little mix up over what was ordered but resolved quickly and efficiently. Had the nachos as a sharing starter. Ridiculously huge serving and the tortillas were a bit bland. It was a meal on its own. Mackerel salad was excellent though tasty and fresh. Pub was buzzing and it was good see people out enjoying some freedom again.
The drinks service was good upon arrival however we waited a long time for our second drink and had to remind the serving staff. We ordered our starter which was very good but waited over an hour for our main meals. Again, we were only served our main meals after asking the serving staff again. The plates were also left on the table until we asked for them to be taken away. Usually very good but we won't be running back to the Flowerpot any time soon.
Lunch time visit Ordered fish and chips fish was very oily well the batter 🥴 chips menu said chunky !!!! Thin chips with skin on !!! Salad didn’t look or taste fresh 🥴 won’t be rushing back
Slow service. Burnt ribs, Dry Chips, Fish & Chips very unappetising. Veg Burger good. Booked a table which wasn’t reserved for us.
We had a really good time, the food was very good and the salmon was exceptional, so many places over cook fish but this was perfectly cooked, juicy and seasoned expertly. We had lots of space and were well looked after. The noise levels were just right and the staff friendly. There is a relaxed atmosphere and the food was ready very quickly.
Really good food although the menu was different to what was advertised on the website. Service was pleasant and the staff were knowledgeable about what was on offer. Great cheeseboard!
great restaurant the food was lovely Service was good too, people were friendly Easy to find Would def book as it does get busy, easy using this app.
Haven't visited the Flower Pot in years, but was recommended by a friend. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior decor and the food and service were very good. I will definitely visit again.
Very friendly staff, lovely clean room . Amazing bed, had a great nights sleep. Ate in the restaurant. The food was good and so was the breakfast.
Very warm welcome followed by great service by friendly staff, which was topped off by excellent food. Could not fault any part of the evening.
Fresh pizzas made to order. Good presentation! Fairly busy for a Tuesday lunch! Possibly needed another member of staff on duty! Good atmosphere. Will return
Kerb appeal wasn't great when we arrived but as soon as we got into the restaurant our hopes were raised by the appealing decor and the lovely welcome from our waitress. Excellent service was followed by such delicious food that we sent compliments to the chef. No idea why this restaurant wasn't full - perhaps it was just the time we went, quite late for lunch. We will definitely go again as the menu offered so many things that I wanted to try. The Flower Pot is now on the top of my list of places to eat!
We had a lovely stay here. Our room was small for a family room but very comfy and adequate for what we needed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was tasty but breakfast was a bit hit and miss and on both days. Parking wasn't on available on site however there is street parking available if your lucky. Thankfully we were, Overall we had an enjoyable stay! And would definitely stay again!
Lovely atmosphere, good choice of two cask beers (another one or two would be welcome!), and excellent food - grilled chicken & dauphinoise for me, and an angry pig pizza for my partner.
Great staff but not enough of them, food OK, nothing special. Dead flowers on all the tables, service slow. Will go back, with some TLC and more staff it would be a really good pub.
We had a lovely time at the flower pot. The weather was great the staff very helpfull the interior is very pleasent. Cold drinks lovely well cooked meal good presentation of the food not rushed made to fill welcome.
Many good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good meals have been had at the flower pot.
Food menu selection and service was good. The food tasted good too. When taking our order we were told one item was sold out but it would have been good to know earlier.
Have always liked the flower pot as a pub and never had a bad meal there but unfortunately the service is never great, this time around the pizza over was broken but wasn't informed until after my order was placed so had to then change the order and my friend who had told the waiter several times she is gluten free still had croutons brought out on her salad because he forgot to put it through on the order. In the past we have had to wait ages for food too. This place could be a gem if the service improved.
Very pleasant staff, good food from a reasonable choice on the menu and a good pint of Brakspears. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will be going back again
Friday night, very few staff (only 1 chef ?), a pub and yet had to wait 20 minutes for our drinks and then any drinks after that they didn't take the dirty glasses away unless we prompted them. 1 hour until starters came out. 2 of us ordered pie for main course and both pies were burnt. Menu said hand cut chips but these were thin chips obviously out of a freezer bag. Table next to us were complaining that their children had waited 45 minutes for some ice cream. Waitress kept knocking food off plates when coming through swinging kitchen doors. Looked like there was a man in charge but he avoided everyone and didn't try once to apologise to the customers which made everything worse. Waitress still pointed out to us how we could leave a tip through the card machine ! I kept waiting for John Cleese to appear ! It will be very interesting to see if the owners take their business seriously and try and make amends to those who had booked and were there on Friday 10th February - I won't hold my breath though.
Service good, first course Pekin Duck did appear to be small to share for three people , main courses and desserts were fine and dining room comfortable Would go there again
Food was delicious, staff were friendly and it's child friendly as well. I would definitely go there again. I might even make it my local as the food was so good especially the Sunday roast.
Great atmosphere and wonderful service. Highly recommend the Eton mess. Will definitely visit again. And is on the 5aste card ..added bonus. Brilliant evening had.
Nice place with friendly staff. Food was good, but there was quiet few bar/fruit flies annoying us whilst we were eating. However I'd still come back.
Decided to spend New Years Eve here by enjoying the flower pots three course special menu. Our starter, Scallops with Chorizo was sublime as was our main course, Breast of breaded garlic chicken on a bed on mushroom risotto (portion size very generous which is rare these days). Our dessert, the almond cheesecake wasn't to our taste with too many almonds instead of the cheesecake mixture. The Trifle did look wonderful however. Most of the staff we encountered were very friendly and willing however we did find the barman quite stern with a lack of enthusiasm and ability to smile. We would go back most certainly and hope someone with a bit more warmth will be working behind the bar to engage with their customers.
Such lovely food! We all ate more than we intended to because it was all so good. It took a little while for it to all be ready, but was worth the wait! What a great little secret by the river.
The food was absolutely delicious - clearly freshly cooked and home made - but the staff were rude and unhelpful. The service was extremely slow!
Lovely staff, lovely room. Could have done with a light over the bathroom sink though, it's hard to see when the light is behind you. Meal in the evening was very tasty. Nice visit all round.
A very pleasant visit good service and good food. particularly enjoyed the chicken pie wholesome and full of flavour. we will definitely come back to sample more of this delightful food.
The food was delicious. We asked for more drinks and it took at least 15 minutes to get them. Our waitress had passed the order onto another waitress who forgot. Other than that it was a great experience.
Lovely service and food, didnt have either main or dessert I wanted ( was unlucky as was the only 2 things they didn't have on whole menu! ) but the food I had was lovely. Nicely refurbed and plenty of space between tables. Lovely atmosphere. Food quality good too
It was very hot. Aircon did not appear to be on. No sparkling water available. Although only 1900 ran out of menu items i.e. Chicken Cacciatore. Waitress did her best under somewhat trying circumstances as she was really rushed off her feet. Food however was good.
Very god food and great selection of beers and wine the staff were also very polite and attentive I will definitely be back when I am next in the areal
Food order was wrong and other meals were not kept warm. Food was not if very good quality even the salad was not fresh, desert was burnt and in edible
Lovely meal, very generous portions and reasonably priced. Not much parking at the pub but plenty close by. Atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly and attentive. Am planning to go back.
