We had a wonderful dinner at The Claypot at Gordon last night. The service was great and quick and the food was divine! The main dishes, some of which are served in the traditional claypots, are large and good value. Some of the entrees are a bit on the pricey side. Drinks are quite overpriced we found. Overall, was a lovely evening!
I was very impressed by this restaurant. The lamb and beef were great - so tender. We had the banquet meal. We had so much food - probably too much. Service was great - a little slow to start, but after that just right.
Staff were very attentive. The room has a pleasant decor - nice and light. However it is a little noisy. BYO wine, but they are licensed too. It's very busy so you probably need to book - every table was occupied. An enjoyable experience.
I dined here with a group of friends, and although the food served was excellent, the service was slow and left a lot to be desired. We ordered the banquet menu, and chose 4 main dishes as part of the banquet. We only received 3 dishes, and after enquiring as to the whereabouts of the final dish, we were informed that you needed a minimum of 6 people to get 4 dishes (there were 5 of us).
It would have been nice to have been told that before we ordered. And we had no say in what dish was left off, much to my annoyance. This sort of arrogant treatment of customers is inexcusable.
We went out for a lovely dinner last night, and although I was a little reluctant after reading some of the reviews, I have to say we had a lovely time! The waitress was really helpful with the menu as we had no idea what to order and she coped well with our difficult requirements (diabetic and peanut allergic diner amongst us) as well as our two children.
The meal was fantastic and was all timed very well with the children's meals and overall the service was great. We thought it was great value for money too. We also loved the little touch of a small gift-wrapped box of chocolates for my husband as they overheard us mention it was his birthday, such a nice touch! We will definitely be back again!!
The only good thing about this place is its service. The food just did not taste right. My meal was way too cheesy and my friends say they've had much better Greek food before.
I have been going here relatively regularly for the last 4 years and absolutely love this restaurant. The food is always tremendous and the service brilliant. I recommend the banquet, great food and good value.
Haven't been here since the ownership changed hands a couple of years ago and it had gone right down hill. Our latest visit was a real revelation, a new owner brings years of experience and it was obvious. Charming, friendly with generous helpings and great flavours, good to see Claypot back to it's best.
A very cozy place with good service, good food and plenty to choose from on the menu. The lamb special in the clay pot just falls off the bone. Great stuff!
Ordered take-away, so I cannot comment on the ambience of the place (I had to fill something in above as it wouldn't accept my review otherwise). I believe the restaurant has been established here for a few years now and I have been to the restaurant previously and I have also ordered take away before too.
I would have to say that the food was the best ever. It melted in our mouth and for us the restaurant has really improved on the handling of their vegetables. Terrific to see an improvement here, as the meat has always been good. The food in every department was brilliant this time. Recommended.
I went to this restaurant a few years back and had a wonderful experience, the owner came to check that the meals were great whilst we were eating them and the value for money was pretty good also. Tonights experience, however, was aweful. I came home feeling sick as did one of my guests. I am very disappointed. The greek salad was made with cabbage and anchovies, not something I have experienced before.
The meze plate was cold, the lamb tough and the triangles way too cheesy. Everything was over oily as well. The dips had a crust on them as if they had been in the fridge way too long and there wasn't enough bread to go with the dips either. In addition to this, the owners of the restaurant were eating their own dinner at the table beside us, boiled beans and steamed corn and this was after 7 pm. I felt this was very inappropriate. I feel ill!!! We will not be returning again and urge others to think twice before eating there. The only consolation was that the company was great!
