Fantastic venue, great food combined with great service. amazing selection of craft beer lines and really tasty cocktails. really worth a visit when in Edinburgh!
We ordered some cocktails whilst we perused the menu. We both plumped for a rhubarb and ginger mojito, which was served in a jam jar with a handle. The food menus suggest 3-4 plates each, providing food very much in the tapas style. So, I ended up going for whitebait with lime and coriander mayo; kimchi radishes; salt baked carrots, beets and goats curd and confit duck with bacon, potato and samphire. My dining companion went for sourdough; goats cheese, pomegranate and granola; pigs cheeks and burnt rosemary hand-cut chips.Many of the dishes were nice, with the whitebait and pigs cheeks being a highlight but some were average, such as the carrots which were cold so didn’t seem to show off their flavour.We were really stuffed but had both been eyeing up the same dessert so we decided to share. We picked the poached rhubarb, brown sugar meringue, vanilla mascarpone and rhubarb salsa. Sadly, whilst this looked lovely on the plate it was a let-down. Overall I think the Potting Shed is not quite there and has yet to realise its full potential. However, it does have some really great ideas and some dishes that we would certainly go back for. edinburghfeasts.com
The potting shed have a new menu yay! Their food is really interesting with a huge choice of smaller tapas sized dishes including grilled squid with chilli and pineapple, lamb loin with wild garlic, confit duck leg with purple potatoes, corguette fritters and much more. All priced between 4-7 and they suggest 3 per person.They still have a long list of craft beers though the wine is a bit pricey. Only reason this wasn’t a higher mark was that we ordered the cheeseboard that turned up with 5 crusty end pieces that looked like they had been on the side for hours. They were not nice. A mistake we thought… No we were informed by the chef that’s how cheese should be served (at room temperature)! Perhaps not at room temperature for days uncovered so that your knife bends though guys?? forkandfizz.com
Creative is what pops in my head to describe this Place . I absolutely love the trending rustic decor they have , they know the business in and out . The food was absolutelyfantastic , looked and tasted lovely and the service was quick too . Overall great place and one of my favorite in Edinburgh.
I organised a corporate lunch for 40 people at The Potting Shed. We chose to order from the main menu, so I was asked to pre-order the food. I sent the pre-order 2 days in advance. I called to check this was received and the phone lines were down (EEK!) I eventually managed to get through to also find out that their internet was down so the pre-order hadn’t been received, however the bar manager agreed to check his work email from his own phone. I called on the day of the lunch to check that this was eventually received and it was (PHEW!)Upon arrival we were seated at 3 long tables which worked well. We were told to order our drinks at the bar. Something that worked well for us since we were on a corporate lunch and alcohol added to the bill would be a nightmare to sort out. About 15 minutes later the food started to arrive. All went well, and I did bring a copy of my pre-order, just in case there were any hiccups. Most of the orders were fine; however for some reason the word ‘skinny fries’ had been translated to ‘bacon’ on the burger options, so two of my colleagues had to wait to get a new burger made without bacon… Apart from this hiccup everything else seemed to go smoothly, and everyone was happy with their food. One thing to also mention, out of the four waitresses that were delivering our food, only one of them seemed to understand the ‘service with a smile’ motto. One specifically was extremely unhappy and had an ‘I can’t be bothered with this’ attitude, which myself and a lot of my colleagues picked up on straight away. Service with a smile goes a long way!All in all I would come back. The bar is very quirky, central and the food is good. Maybe not the best place for a large group of 20+!!
