Richard has been the custodian of The Potters Arms for over 8 years now, before taking over The Potters Arms his background has been 25 years in the Independent Restaurant trade, working with fresh food, searching and building relationships with the finest suppliers in the area to make sure that the food served from the kitchen is consistently the best it can possibly be.
We have just built a terrace bar which will be open for brunch and crepes, coffees, Ice Cream, Slush Cocktails & Pizzas.

Bill the Head Chef at The Potters has come in and taken over the position and his idea is that The Potters Arms being a Classic British Pub, our Menu should replicate that with lots of homemade pub classics, however with his culinary skills he will introduce a Daily Specials Menu that will be superb quality.

    Had a meal whilst we’d hired out half of bar & outside area for son’s 18th birthday. Food delicious, service great. Would definitely recommend. If you’re looking to hire somewhere for an event / birthday etc, this is the perfect place.

    We have been to the Potters Arms several times in the last decade and went there on the spur of the moment on Sunday 19/11/23 expecting ( as every time previously) good food . Unfortunately, for some reason, it was so poor it bordered on inedible. My wife managed to slowly eat hers but I am afraid I just left mine ( the "Sunday Lunch") on the plate having only eaten about 10% of it. Despite that, when the plate was collected I was not asked for any feedback (mainly I guess because it was obvious what my response would be ) . Needless to say that will be our last visit to the Potters Arms.

    First time at The Potters Arms and we weren't disappointed. A lovely pub/restaurant with a welcoming/friendly team and an an excellent choice of food, especially for a Sunday lunchtime. The food was plentiful and of an excellent standard, and service was spot on - overall very good value and would highly recommend. Thanks to all of the team at The Potters Arms for an enjoyable Sunday lunch, we'll definitely be returning at some point soon.

    We visited Monday lunchtime, so the pub was pretty quiet. Modern, clean, and pleasant environment. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Food was ery good quality, as usual. Menu is NOT the frequent dull, unimaginative fare you get in "chain pubs". Instead, there is a good variety of dishes, with a more "local" hint. One of my favourite pubs !!

    We were a group of ten cycling friends who arrived at 1.15 on a Sunday lunchtime. The staff were very friendly and worked quickly and effectively to serve us during a busy session. They were aisles well set up to allow us to split the bill and pay separately!

    We were at The Potters Arms on an evening when there was a power cut. Despite this, every effort was made to produce food which turned out to be excellent. We would love to go back on an evening when things are more normal, but full marks to the staff for coping so well.

    Celebrated my Dad’s 80th with a delicious lunch. Food was great - nice and spicy Thai red curry and an impressive vegan wellington (refreshing to have something different as a vegan option). The staff were very friendly, service was excellent and they made a fuss of my Dad for his birthday - will definitely return. Thank you!

    Myself and wife visited the Potter's Arms for a Sunday roast. Online they are advertising a deal for 2 or 3 course meal, when I enquired with the waiter I was informed that it was no longer the case. We both opted for beef, which was beautifully cooked. The roast potatoes were nice as was the parsnip. We like our veg to have a little bite but the small accompanying bowl of cabbage, green beans were really quite under cooked. The huge Yorkshire pudding looked the business but was very over cooked making it rock hard and inedible, gutted! The staff were very polite and attentive, but the food was disappointing.

    The Potters Arms is a local gem. The staff is friendly and attentive. The remodelled out door seating, landscaping and farm shop are fantastic. The pub comes highly recommended by the locals with delicious food and a menu that caters for a variety of diets. You must experience the pub and local walks. You won’t be disappointed.

    A nice pub but the food and service were very average . Just didn't seem very friendly or welcoming . Also a very loud unruly group were in the small restaurant for Saturday lunch . So we moved out into the main bar area . Shouting a swearing is not a good ambience for eating . Shame the weather was not better as the outside area looks quite nice .
