By far, worst food ever & service beyond horrible. Firstly, no one greeted us by the front entrance to either tell us to sit where we like or to take us to a table; so we just walked over to an empty table by the window (so we could have a good view of the Royal Yacht Brittania). Waiter eventually... More

I made a reservation for Saturday night and when we got there, nobody greeted us at the front desk just waved at us from the middle of the place to come over. My partner and I were told to sit wherever we wanted and when I mentioned I had booked a table he said: "That's fine, sit anywhere you like."... More

dreadful! Booked table yet not set when we arrived, food portions very small and overpriced, service lousy! Service charge added automatically to bill - had to ask for it to be removed. Glad i was paying with Tesco tokens as would have been very upset to have to pay proper money! Will not be back and would not recommend.

Service was excellent - charming waiter, no waiting. Food was tasty, usual price for this type of restaurant. Excellent view of the Royal Yacht Britannia from our table. Absolutely no complaints from us!

Lured in by vouchers for 2 for 1 main meals. Meals were double the price of what they should have been and only applied 2 for 1 offer to one of the meals. As other people then say, they automaticually add service charge. Advice is don't go.

Took them 5 minutes to show us a seat in an empty restaurant. Lasagne was overcooked and desserts were clearly frozen. Apart from a really nice view there's nothing good about this restaurant

My fiance and I popped into Ma Potters and decided to grab a quick bite to eat before our movie was due to start at the cinema. The first marl against the place was just how long it took to get served two drinks while it wasn't that busy and all other staff appeared to be chatting to each other... More

With discount card from nearby holiday inn express, this place used to be good value but they now apply a service charge and don't apply discount to their fixed two course menu. So be prepared to pay upwards of £15 per head for below average bar meal!
