Having been before and enjoyed the experience, we visited with friends this time. On arrival we found the hotel to be extremely busy with a wedding party as well as a good number of other diners. There was certainly a lovely buzz about the place and any concerns we might have had about slow service were quickly dispelled. Our waitress... More

Went here for a late lunch with my partner on a glorious Sunday afternoon, and it has to be said, we were both very disappointed. The location was beautiful, just a pity we couldn't get a table outside to enjoy the sunshine. That aside, we went on a Groupon deal given to us by a friend, and I'm glad that... More

My husband and I visited here tonight and I must say everything was excellent. I had the scallops on puy lentils, then the steak and chips, then sticky toffee pudding with banana ice cream - and it was all delicious. Husband had baked camembert with redcurrant jelly, then pork and black pudding sausages with mash and red wine gravy, then... More

Worst 3 course meal we have ever had. I returned my main dish and was not offered anything else and the waitress did not appear to be suprised at the complaint. Such a shame as the previous owners were very proud of the standard of food they served. We will never go back. More

My main dish of scallops was passable but my wife's smoke haddock chowder as a... More

We had been meaning to go the Potarch Hotel many times in the past, but it had never fitted in to our plans. We'd heard good things about it and so were disappointed on this, our first visit. There were plenty of cars parked outside on a cold January Saturday, which is generally a good sign. The fire wasn't lit... More

We've been regulars at Potties on and off for the past couple of years and went for a post shoot dinner (15 of us). We were seated in a private lounge with a roaring log fire which was lovely although it did get colder as the night progressed and out waitress didn't seem that interested in getting the heating back...
