Graham Coombs left this review about The Potting Shed
Apparently converted from hospital to hospitality, this is the sort of large establishment that you enter not expecting much and don't get disappointed. The decor is contrived, the "garden" (with a few sheds) is pathetic and the place felt more like a pizza and wings restaurant than a pub. The customers on this visit were mostly elderly females and families, although perhaps it gets livelier when the promised entertainments are on. Still not somewhere I would choose go to drink at, as exemplified by the beers which were Wainwright Gold, Banks's Amber and the house "Potting Shed Ale" which the barman admitted was just the Banks's. Disappointing.

A large carnivorous pub converted from what was the Rutson Hospital. This multi roomed pub along with a collection of potting sheds positioned around the rear courtyard, seems to be a big hit with families and teenagers gorging through burger stacks and oversized pizzas. I am quite surprised Spoons didn't get in here due to the size of the place, must have had some local opposition. Beer wise, very disappointing with only one beer to be had across four pumps, Camerons Skyline, which didn't warrant a second pint.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Potting Shed
Recent conversion of a cluster of buildings with a rambling interior providing a variety of seating / dining areas. The interior decorators have provided a diverse mixture of semi-modern features, including the faux 'beach huts' out in the side patio beer garden, but also the traditional lounges at the front. There is also an open kitchen at the back, by the bar counter. Three of four handpumps in use, offering the Bitter Revival from Beer Monkey, The Russian Linesman from Cameron's and Hansom Blonde from York. Surprisingly, there was also live music in the late afternoon, which was a bit of a bonus.
