At Potters, we bring five-star quality to everything we offer so that when we say Fully Inclusive we mean numerous activities, West End quality entertainment, delicious food and branded drinks, unlike what you may have encountered elsewhere.

Fully Inclusive

Means Fully Inclusive

Kickstart your day the right way with a delicious breakfast, from a traditional and hearty full English, to a choice of cereal, yoghurts, pastries and fruit. After a busy morning, you can look forward to a tasty 3-course lunch including a variety of hot dishes and delicious desserts. In readiness for the evening ahead, a sumptuous 3-course dinner awaits. Relax and start the night in style as you enjoy your choice of starter, main course and dessert. Our delicious seasonal menus provide a varied selection fit for all appetites, and are the perfect complement to an activity filled break. With a different menu each day, you’ll find plenty to tickle your taste buds.

Pssst... Still a little peckish?
Our late night snack has got you covered before you retreat for the evening, or continue to enjoy our fabulous late night entertainment.

West End Quality Shows

And there's no need to book!

We’re all about delivering West End quality shows as your entertainment is our top priority. Across our vibrant Garden Bars, breezy outdoor Terraces, or our dazzling state-of-the-art Theatres, our dedicated team is always ready to fill your stay with charm and delight.

With no need to book anything at all when it comes to our entertainment, we have designed our programme to complement your holiday, giving you the choice to relax with the perfect background music or sit down and be entranced with stunning live productions. Throughout the day, our team will keep you busy with a host of comedy, quizzes and music. And after dinner, the stage is set for showtime where the renowned Potters Theatre Company will blow you away with outstanding productions every night.

Cheers!

Drinks throughout your stay

We want you to relax while you’re with us, in the knowledge that your bank balance is taking a break too. That’s why your drinks, so often a forgotten but major additional expense on your holidays, are included on your break as standard.

Our drinks menu features a generous selection of popular branded beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks.

For those that prefer the hot variety, we also include your favourite bean to cup coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolates and many more.

While we also include drinks, this should not be the primary reason for booking. We actively discourage irresponsible drinking.

Come and enjoy the fun!
