My favourite restaurant to go to! Always love introducing friends to this place.
Waiting and barsftaff clearly training & whilst I appreciate everyone has to do it, sadly they didn’t even seem to know any of their products - bar man had to ask what the drinks were and I had to point at the food menu for the waiter. Some basics before putting them on the floor would be helpful. Lady (owner?) who was front of house was charming, helpful and bubbly. We we’re able to take our time and were nicely accommodated. Food sadly was not great - squid over cooked and rubbery, pork tasted like a reheated Chinese, pardon peppers hasn’t been been cooked long enough and there’s was a distinct lack of salt, prawns overcooked and chewy. Overall sadly just not a great experience and I’m unlikely to return.
Very friendly with an enormous menu. Food arrived in 10-15 minutes. Both Tapas and traditional menus available. Probably too much food ordered but happy to provide a doggy bag. Spanish music very much in the background so non-obtrusive. This restaurant is a real find and will be visited many times in the future
Beautiful food and excellent service. Thanks for a lovely evening!
Another great meal - we have been coming here for years. Friendly staff, lovely ambience, great menu choice for both food and drinks. Highly recommended. Thank you and see you again soon!
The Food was absolutely divine but it was the team there that made the night. Funny and attentive. Really made for a great evening out for valentines. Thank you.
Lovely meal but got charged for a drink I never ordered and service was poor which is a shame as we really like the restaurant.
Had an amazing family lunch at The Pottery. Service was great and the food was excellent. Kids loved it. Would highly recommend. Their week day lunch menu is amazing too.
Great service, soft ambience and food. Food presentation was really good too. Would recommend it and go again. Thank you for the wonderful dining experience.
Overall the experience was okay. I booked in advance and came with a group for birthday celebration. Our table was not ready yet - no birthday decorations. (via email I was asked if I wanted decorations and i said yes). The lady in the bar asked if we wanted to buy drinks first while we were waiting. The waiter(s) however did not look very welcoming throughout the service, only smiled in the end. We did not have to wait too long for the food. Portions were okay I had the paella and was very nice. The owner/manager? gave the whole group free tequila shots in the end and wished me happy birthday which was nice of him.
This funky tapas bar has a really first rate chef whose deserts and cocktails are to die for. It alsp has a really friendly atmosphere which makes me want to tell all my friends about it.
Very friendly and a lovely prawn skewer! This is a family run operation and they are making a real effort to please their customers both on food and service.
As good as ever..nice relaxing place to dine in...and the selection of tapas is wide enough to please all tastes.Jackson the front man is lots of to speak to
Fab tapas .. best in Kingston. Friendly service and delicious food .. prawns were best had since in Madrid! Highly recommend .. family friendly too
Lovely restaurant, really warm and homely feel, with shabby chic decor. Great food and service, quesadillas, skewers and croquettes just a few to recommend, would definitely visit again.
Fri3ndly service, great food and cosy decor. Perfect for a Winter Sunday brunch. Will definitely be coming back to try dinner and drinks in the summer
Went on a Friday evening for a meal with friends and really enjoyed it. Lovely food, great atmosphere and friendly staff, would recommend it and we’ll go back
Lovely atmosphere as usual and attention to detail. The food was as good as ever. We will definitely return, as very close to Norbiton railway station.
Surperb food and wine, and the staff were giving us an excellent service. It made it a lovely time for me to celebrate my birthday with family and friends.
Lovely location. I was very impressed by the decor and the ambience in Pottery Bar. The staff were really friendly and he food was good.
On entering you are welcomed like family. Such a lovely atmosphere. Food tastes like the passion that goes into it. Excellent. We will be returning many times. Thank you.
Excellent tapas lunch , very relaxed atmosphere, wouldn’t hesitate to go back .Lovely outside garden, service was very good , our order was mixed up and it got sorted out straight away with no problems .
Nice to have some good Spanish food. A few nice twists in flavourings of the whitebait, salmon cubes, squid rings and generous (one person!) paella. The place was busy, so service was just a tinge chaotic. Really nice experience. We shall definitely be back soon and I have already recommended the place.
A nice relaxing place to enjoy fantastic tapas and some good wine. It has a great outdoor area with a mixture of tables and comfy sofas. A great find - we’ll be back.
Lovely summers evening enjoying tapas outside in the relaxing garden area. Started with great cocktails moving onto some good wines. The pork belly was fantastic as was the garlic squid and the meguez beef. Friendly staff who seemed to enjoy their work.
Food was as good as ever-but service was hopeless-missing orders-food not ordered-3 out of 4 of us had eaten before food for the 4th turned up
Food was dry and very deep fried meaning it was chewy and not very tasty. Service was ok but food lacked so will not be returning
found the food excellent, but the dessert looked amazing, but was too big and way too sweet. We ordered the coconut creme. The atmosphere is outstanding and staff are very friendly - thanks
Most of the dishes were excellent, a good portion and reasonably priced. A very good find for us! The music is a tad 70s and 80s but overall a good experience.
Great food and atmosphere! The staff are so lovely and the service is always amazing. The food is delicious and they have good variety on the menu
Fantastic service as usual. The atmosphere is cosy and hyggelig. Food is so delicious and well presented Do try the Rixhmonud sour cocktail you won't be disappointed.
Lovely service and the food was delightful and very good value! I had the Chorizo, Tortilla, Calamari and Albondigas, all were home cooked and delicious.
Nicely decorated comfy interior. lovely and attentive staff. Potions are generous. Love their paella which contains many kinds of seafood. I will definitely back again.
Been here many times and always thoroughly enjoy every aspect. Food is good, staff are friendly and Mein Host is fantastic. Will definitely be going back.
Amazing paella, tasty tapas. Really good and prompt service! Atmosphere was pleasant and cosy. We loved the ambience. We will definately come back soon with friends.
The Pottery Bar is always great food and great service. Will always recommend to friends and family. For Tapas in Kingston its the best place to go.
Die Atmosphäre in diesem Lokal ist angenehm, der Service ebenso. Allerdings läßt die Qualität der Speisen meiner Meinung nach zu Wünschen übrig. Alles frittiert und mit gekauften Soßen serviert. Leider nicht gut. Auch der Sangria war nicht besonders gut.
Great food and wonderful service. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. I also love the music. They have a nice outdoor area and a private room. I will be back!
Great staff. Absolutely lovely food. Good decor. Only spoiling point was music being a little too loud; not so you could not speak but just a bit too much. I'd happily revisit when I'm next in that direction.
We expected some great food considering the previous excellent reviews unfortunately it was not the case. The tapas dishes were bland and the lamb and squid were well over cooked. There are lightbulbs hanging down from the ceiling that need fixing and replacing we won’t be heading back there sorry
We was very please the minute we walked through the door at how lovely and relaxing it looked. all staff had a smile and very welcoming. the food.well what can i say,it was outstanding and couldnt fault anything. we will with out a doupt be back very soon. a big thank you to all the staff but exspecially to the cook it was perfect.
Always a great experience at the pottery, food is fresh and service is great!
Great atmosphere. Tapas was really good. I've not been here for a few years and lived the additions and felt the food was even better than before.
Wow. Amazing food and very relaxed atmosphere. Great value for money. Great selection of both food and drink. First visit but will definitely return again.
The tapas was excellent and the wine was reasonably good value. I highly recommend the chickpea, chorizo and cheese dishes - also we finished off with cocktails which were great.
Great atmosphere Lovely food nice place to go to we really Enjoyed it would recommend to anyone and will definitely be coming back again and again Cheers.
Lovely pub. Food very nice but expensive for the amount you get, menu could be updated to reflect allergens. Staff friendly and helpful. Overall a really nice place to go.
Always a pleasure to eat here-interesting food choices and friendly service. The Tapas are sizeable so two is sufficient, but you may be hungry? Who knows
Very good prompt service and lovely food. Good choice of food - perhaps add some vegetarian and egg choices on dinner menu plus some different kinds of salads.
The Pottery Bar. Always good food and great atmosphere and lovely helpful service. Best tapas in Kingston. Cannot recommended enough. Also great pub on way back from work!
