The Potting Shed Restaurant & Bar
About The Potting Shed Restaurant & Bar
In 1787,Thomas Lord chose Dorset Square to lay down a cricket ground, which in 1814 moved a mile north to what is now known as Lords. Dorset Square Hotel - home of the Potting Shed Restaurant and Bar - is one of the regency buildings surrounding the tree-filled gardens that would have had a
grandstand view of the game. If you’re imagining mini-mountains of terracotta pots, seed boxes, seagrass matting, hand-painted murals and tables adorned with tiny colourful pots, you won’t be disappointed.
Obviously, in such surroundings only English food (with the occasional nod to Southern Europe) will do. We recommend the a la carte seared salmon on a white bean cassoulet, while we fancy the pot roast chicken with crushed parsnips from the traditional menu. But keep room for
the apple and rhubarb crumble, of course. Your mother would want it that way.
