The Potting Shed new menu is simple, yet the dishes were divine. It caters for all dietary requirements. My colleagues and I absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere, service and especially the food we ordered all cooked to perfection. Not overpriced and well worth it.

Very happy with this collab KOI X Sebastian. Very happy with the kakigori and paired well with the mocktail. Plus point we got the best seats right at the center and served by Chef Reynold & Chef Sebastian. The Kakigoris taste so light and not overly sweet so we still have some room for KOI cake afterwards. Excellent!!

Second time here. Beautiful, skilfully cooked food you want to eat. Plenty of choice. Paspaley pearl meat crudo was a revelation. We had to have the wood fired grilled prawns again. Good steak, great sides. Professionally, friendly and engaging service. Excellent wine list (you can’t find a Sottimano Barbaresco Pajore just anywhere). Lovely convivial ambience. Thank you Margaret, I’ll be back!
