    Four of us visited PODS by Clay Oven on Saturday evening, and unfortunately, the whole experience was extremely disappointing. The service was appalling from start to finish. Food arrived without spoons or the necessary serving utensils, and we had to ask for plates rather than these being provided as standard. When the plates finally arrived, they were cold. To make matters worse, one of the dishes was served lukewarm. These are basic things you would expect any restaurant to get right, particularly one presenting itself as a quality dining experience. The lack of attention to detail and poor organisation made the evening frustrating rather than enjoyable. Eating out should be a pleasant experience, but sadly this was anything but. We left feeling thoroughly disappointed and certainly wouldn't recommend PODS by Clay Oven. We will not be returning.

    The food was really good, but what stood out most was the exceptional service from John. He was genuinely one of the best waiters I’ve come across. From start to finish, his attitude was fantastic, incredibly friendly, attentive, helpful and professional without ever being overbearing. Nothing felt like too much trouble for him, and the way he interacted with us made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after throughout the evening. Great food and an enjoyable experience overall, but John’s outstanding service really elevated the evening and deserves special recognition. He’s a real credit to the restaurant. Would definitely return!

    We had a very nice experience at the Pod. The Pod was lovely and we could connect our phones to the Bluetooth speakers and listen to our music. The temperature was perfect. The food was delicious. Complements to the chef on the day and waiter on the day. Only thing was it was busy so service levels were not the best. The waiter John made a special complimentary treat for my wife’s special bday. We loved it.

    Absolutely amazing experience! We got married at the hotel 10years ago and we come back every 5 years to stay. On this occasion we booked a pod for dinner and it was perfect! The server John was amazing and our chef Prems food was exquisite! The best evening meal ever!

    I wanted a decent Afternoon Tea with my mum. The pods idea was lovely and the pod itself was clean, bright, spacious and not too warm on a very hot day. I loved the Bluetooth feature for playing our own music. The food was fine; nothing spectacular and we each had a pot of tea. But the service at the hotel left a lot to be desired. There was a wedding on so staff were distracted and not very friendly. We were left waiting quite a while and then decided to leave rather than be forced to mingle amongst the wedding guests at the end. I was also really disappointed that the bill was a lot more than advertised, but I was keen to get out as the bar was rammed with wedding guests trying to get a drink. I have contacted the hotel, but no response.

    dinner in a different setting - so worth doing at least once. you have your private enclosed space so no noise from other guests, only your own noise. this pod had bluetooth we played music. the food was excellent, a bit pricey, service fantastic from our waiter Mousin. seating - there are lots of cushions so you can adjust to make yourself comfortable but one of our party got a back ache by the end because he couldn't lean back comfortably - he is 6'2" probably used to being uncomfortable in 'different' situations. well worth a try.

    It was a nice experience to book the pod for dining. The waiter was very helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. Fodd was tasty. Butter chicken, pulao rice and nan bread were all fresh and tasty. Limited selection on desert. Can't go wrong with gulab jamub and gajar halwa. The place was not very busy.
