    Wow found this place by accident and what a treat! This restaurant is amazing! It’s a hidden gem. The food is amazing, the ambience and the decor is very classy, the staff are friendly and courteous and the whole dining experience was superb. We had the chicken curry and the pork belly for mains and crème brûlée for dessert. Amazing! Would totally recommend and come back again!

    Mum just back from visiting there tonight overcharged by 34 pounds. And we’re not given a proper bill with the correct prices prices Please check your bill before hand and be careful. Plus the waitress didn’t even apologise for the over charge just threw the correct bill down god knows how many peoples they did to that night scamming people.

    Dropped in after passing and saw the sign...the food was good but had some issues such as the chicken sauce over sweetened far too many peanuts randomly thrown in the thai curry they didnt need to be there ! Charged for every single veg order so 2 veg greens and turnip mash 3.95 each portion plus a portion of garlic chips 3.95 so almost 12 quid just for sides not included with main course ?? Extremely overpriced for an inexperienced chef !

    Had been pre-covid and was impressed but won't be returning after a meal this weekend. Burger meat was really low quality (like compacted foam), tasted cheap and flavourless. Lamb dish wasn't hot, sent back but remained only warm on return. Waiters on the floor very good- manager didn't attend table after food was returned, made loud remarks to other guests about calibre of guests post covid instead- petty.

    Very disappointed,we have been to the Pot Belly restaurant several times before and always really enjoyed it, but not tonight ! First off we were seated right next to the open front door and when we asked if we could possibly get moved to another table we were told that our table was a three seater table…… which was absolutely ridiculous as All the tables were four seater tables!!! The choice’s on the menu are VERY limited !! We ordered the Burger ( save choice) it was absolutely awful very very stodgy and the chips were just hard!! The dessert ,a Brownie with chocolate sauce, was more like a dry chocolate sponge cake!! Sooo disappointed We will definitely not be back

    Great Sunday lunch for my older in laws, mostly roasts but plenty of food in the portions and very well presented

    It's been a very very long time since I've been here, but it's still as good, my friends and I had the Sunday lunch menu...lovely!! A few more tried and tested vegan options please... But other than hoping that the Surf and Turf is the same as years ago!

    Just had the one of the best meals I've ever had. I've never been before but was taken to lunch with 8 friends. The atmosphere is just tight with the loveliest of decor. Such plesant and professional friendly service and the food was excellent.. 10/10. Good Guinness and Coors too. Loved it, will see you again.

    Superb! Found this little gem quite by accident and boy!, what a find! Beautiful menu, good wholesome food, carefully cooked with expertise, beautiful presentation with service second to none. The ambiance is just perfect. The staff were super attentive, chatty but not intrusive and such a pleasure to be around. The Pot Belly will be on my radar every time I'm north of the border, I wish it was closer.

    This place never fails to amaze, if I could give it a 6th star for customer service I would. The food was most excellent and the ambiance pleasant. This is not a cheap place to eat but the food was worth every penny. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to treat themselves or a significant other.

    Found this lovely restaurant on a flying visit to Northern Ireland. So pleased we did, the food was truly amazing, filling, taste, quality and pleasing to the eye. Plus didn't break the bank. I'd highly recommend a visit not only to enjoy the food but experience the staff hospitality and ambience of the restaurant location. 10/10

    First class from we went in till we left. Very welcoming by Philip. The girls downstairs in the restaurant are like old friends, so very pleasant. Food came quite quickly and was delicious. My husband and I both had a starter of Tempura King Prawns with a sweet chilli dip. Then we had fillet steak cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes, broccoli, green beans, carrot n parsnip mixed and cabbage. Dessert was for me a beautiful salted Caramel roulade with fresh cream and my husband had a chocolate tart. Beautiful food and service.

    Not a great experience. Took my husband out for his birthday. Havnt been to the Pot Belly for a while so was looking forward to it. The staff were very pleasant but the menu is quite limited and it doesn't help when one of the mains was unavailable. Japanese salmon was burnt, swimming in soy sauce and the noodles must have been in short supply. That along with the rubber mushrooms was not a good.combination. Would not recommend it at all. A return visit is not on the cards.

    Excellent evening recently at The Pot Belly restaurant. Wheat and Dairy intolerance was catered for superbly with a delicious Leak and Potato Soup with lovely toasted bread and dairy free butter. 10/10. Really enjoyed the Silverside Beef as a main. Atmosphere and staff were excellent too. Overall highly recommended.
