The Pottery, Kingston-Upon-Thames

I like the venue, its decor and location, I try where possible to support local businesses. I enjoy the interesting approach that the Pottery has on 'tapas' - I do have an issue with the bread though.

The Pottery is busy and popular, as a pub and a restaurant however it should not scrimp on ingredients and this includes fresh bread. The restaurant really lets itself down by serving the frozen baguettes that any normal person would use as a last resort (in an emergency). This then leads to a problem if you decide to ask for more bread to go with your tapas - you may end up waiting for up to 15 minutes to get it - as they have to stick it in the oven first so when it arrives at the table it's too hot and if you try to cut it or tear pieces off, it caves in on itself.

Come on Pottery - push the boat out and turn yourself in to an outstanding restaurant by serving REAL fresh bread....
