   Excellent service, very friendly and helpful staff. Very good menu but slightly overpriced. The inside of the restaurant has great decor but feels like a canteen due noise level and uncomfortable bench seating.

   We had been wanting to dine at The Potted Lobster for many years and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious - full of beautiful flavours. We had our two dogs with us and the staff could not have been more welcoming and supportive. The atmosphere is wonderful. We can’t wait to come back. A real gem.

   The Potted Lobster was recommended to us. It didn't disappoint. Absolutely superb, divine fish dishes and out of this world creme brûlée. Lovely, lively place and excellent service. Would recommend to anyone and would love to return ourselves. It's a bit far from Wiltshire though!

   Great service. Food was good but felt that the Turbot special dish was overpriced. Linguine was lovely Would recommend the Grillo wine. Overall a nice visit

   We were looking online for a fish restaurant in the area & booked the Potted Lobster some weeks before our trip. The Service was just right for us, friendly & informative. The menu lived up to expectations with a great selection of lovely fish dishes. We had the hake & the lemon battered haddock which I can thoroughly recommend. Great music playlist too.

   Extensive selection of fish dishes- difficult to choose which one to have! All were very good, well cooked and presented with a nice mix of vegetables. Dessert was yummy! Very good 👍
