Description of The Potting Shed Restaurant

---

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.

The Potting Shed is available for private functions of up to 80 guests seated, or 120 for a drinks reception with canapés. And what canapés - do sausage éclairs, Welsh leek tartlets, mini Yorkshire puds and roast beef tickle your patriotic fancy? If you're searching for a business meeting venue, then the modern, comfortable Thomas Lord Room on the lower ground floor was designed with the prestige meeting in mind. It holds a maximum of ten around a boardroom table, ten guests for private dining, and 15 for a casual reception. It even has its own washroom and cloakroom space.
