    We recently dined at PODS Clayoven with high expectations, given its association with the well-regarded Clayoven caterer. Unfortunately, the experience did not quite align with the reputation. The food fell short of expectations, lacking the quality and flavour we had anticipated. Service was notably slow, and our waitress appeared rather disengaged and difficult to communicate with, which impacted the overall experience. Additionally, the pods were not air-conditioned, making them uncomfortably warm; we ultimately opted to sit indoors instead. While the concept holds promise, our visit was somewhat disappointing.

    I booked the pods for the advertised Father’s Day roast. I was called a day or two before to ask if we could make it at an earlier time so that we wouldn’t miss the “entertainment”. The only thing mentioned in the phone call. When we arrived, one of the managers informed me that the food was buffet style and the entertainment etc was moved to somewhere completely away from the pods, that there was a wedding and was rather set on convincing us to sit where the entertainment was (normal dining tables). When I advised that I hadn’t been told any of this except about coming earlier for entertainment, the manager simply said he was under the impression everyone was informed. They advised we could still sit in a pod but it would be “amongst 100+ wedding guests” - didn’t seem like they wanted us to sit there at all. From the way I was being convinced to sit elsewhere, I felt like I didn’t have a choice but to accept. Once seated, we did get the face painting lady to do a design for my 3 year old daughter so that was a nice touch. Maddy was then the manager who took over the service and he was apologetic and very friendly. He tried to accommodate the changes as best as possible so I do appreciate his effort. The chef Surendra was also very friendly and accommodating. He even made something just for my daughter that wasn’t on the buffet menu. The waiter was also friendly but I did not get his name. I have to say the service from the 3 members of staff we saw was great. Unfortunately, the food from the roast was terrible - very bland and dry. It was the same for all courses. For the amount I paid I would not think this was anywhere near the standard it should have been. I didn’t get to experience the pods which I assume most of the price was based on and the food was a poor standard. I am aware of the food Clay Oven normally provides as I have visited Clay Oven restaurants many times in the past so I can’t say I put this down to the chefs from Clay Oven. Poor planning.

    Booked 2 hours prior via open table. On arrival, no welcome but instead a ‘we don’t have your booking’, after discussions they took us through to what felt as an unwanted customer. They then said we only had the table for 1.5 hours. However, no one took our order for 20 minutes. The button system to order when pressed did not send over a waiter. We had to walk inside again just to order. They mixed up our order with the adjacent pod. Poor service from the waiter who made the mistake as no smile, just the feeling as if we were an inconvenience. Amazing pods and surrounding area. Food was great. If they sort their service out and organise themselves this would be a great meal out.

    We went in group friends but got very disappointed with Food and service and as waited for food for long and by the time food came few items as Monk fish was frozen warm from outside but inside was absolutely cold so left the food and then chicken dish was absolutely cold and service was absolutely poor so overall we didn't had great experience . As this feedback was very important so they can improve infuture for theor business as I like the venue that's was reason we booked .

    Everything was nice and tasty no complaints. Waitress Alisha was very nice. Came for my anniversary and they had petals on the table which was cute. Pods were great, nice and intimate. We had some leftover food but couldnt take any home because they didnt have any boxes available so maybe would be a good idea to have some boxes so can take any leftovers home.

    Had a great evening in one of the pods - served by Alesha - despite the cold, food arrived hot, was very good quality and always with a smile. Nothing too difficult. Thanks again for a great night.

    Food was absolutely delicious - best curry I've had in a long time. Service excellent. My only slight criticism would be decor - as we went near to Christmas it would have been nice to have had a few Christmassy lights/decor. Otherwise, I can't fault it.

    Stay away from this place, absolutely appalling service food was cold, long wait times between dishes, dirty cutlery and plates. I could go on but don't have the energy to continue. If your looking for a pid experience ponsbourne pods is a good venue.
