| The Flower Pot is now open again but we think, worse than ever all round. We haven't been back since the old owners left and ended up having a horrible experience when we went back a month or so ago. Their booking system for the hotel is useless and have friends who have had their booking double booked, to then be told there is nothing they could do by seemingly unconcerned staff. In particular a long haired middle aged italian looking lady, who was also very rude to us when we tried to order our evening meal when we were there. We also noticed two members of staff pocketing cash given over in the restaurant and speaking detrimentally about their boss at the tops of their voices across the restaurant. I went back to have a word to the manager the nest day about my concerns, to then be told he was unavailable, when I asked if he would be down at all tonight, the Polish member of staff left in charge laughed and said "no, he has a very bad hangover, he has been at golf all day" I thought this was very unprofessional and not funny at all. The customer service is terrible now at the Flower Pot. We have stopped going there now as we found the whole experience very stressful and uncomfortable. Bring back the old owners!!

| Couldn't disagree more with the last review - Yes, the ambience has gone a bit hotel bar, but the positives are very good food, good service and definitely one of the best pints in Sunbury, so they know how to change a barrel. TheGP - 4 Aug 2008 19:59 |
| While The Phoenix was shut I took the opportunity to visit all of the pubs in Lower Sunbury. Of the 10 I visited, I can safely say that this was one of the worst. The heart and soul have finally been ripped out - the ambience has been in steady decline for about 10 years, but has now hit an all-time low. The first impression was that I was waiting for the maitre d' to inform me that my table was ready, rather than waiting to order a pint. I eventually realised that I hadn't been visiting a 'pub'; it's either (as has already been suggested) a restaurant, or - even worse (!) - a 'bar'. Think Pitcher & Piano, Slug & Lettuce, All Bar One... I disagree with the sugestion that they're aiming at the 'mature' clientele - I think they're looking at the trendy crowd who spend as much on their drinks as they do on their clothes. Definitely one to avoid. MarkWJ - 29 Mar 2008 21:59 |
| Yes, a nicely done refurb! Welcome to the Flowerpot! A pleasant, welcoming bar greets you on entrance. Then there's a mauve/purple wall, and 2 x fishtanks, to take your mind off the stresses of the day! They have about a dozen small tables dotted around the bar, with 2 x brown leather 3-seater sofas, one large table by the far wall with a 6-seater wall sofa! At the back is a small restaurant area (where the loos used to be!) with 6 or 7 small tables. So its geared to food this pub, no room for milling or spilling your pints! I hate to say it, (but it does make sound business sense..!) this pub is aimed at the more 'mature' clientele, with priorities of good food rather than drink alone. And the background music was good too, not a rapper or drug-spoiled brat screamer in sight! (..or hearing!) Definately no chavs aloud! I do like the tiling in the new toilet-block extension! Tastefully done. (Any rival landlords checkout the loos here, see how it should be done..!!) 8/10, just lacking that bit of 'pazzazz' at the moment, that could make this pub 'the best' by far in the area..!! (There's a challenge landlord/or lady)! The sort of bar that 'does' grab you, and makes you want to stay for that extra drink..!!! Fine job staff, keep up the good work!!

| Flower pot is now revamped and open for business. It's a definite improvement on the last refit, although I prefer the decor 2 refits ago now, when it was more traditional. However, I can't blame the landlord as he must be making double the takings. It's been well done and the staff are always friendly, definitely the best pub to eat in Sunbury, especially now the Admiral Hawke is being run into the ground.. TheGP - 3 Jan 2008 22:04 |
