Admiral Rodney in Nottingham

Excellent food and quick service in a friendly local pub. Food menu has changed but quality of food still good. Pub beginning to look shabby and needs freshening up Toilets not good either.

Went for a meal. An atmospheric pub let down a little by an average food offering ( egg and chip etc. ). Had fish and chips which was tasty. Prices are fair. Service friendly thanks. Beer good. Could be really special with a better menu.

Great staff. Food was served fast. Shane looked after us. Also, had the football on top HWTL

What a great pub. The food is excellent. Great, friendly people. Staff are superb. Children welcome & and dogs, too. Nice open log fire in the main area. Football screening around the whole pub with large TV in the garden area. Great family pub. Love it.

Absolutely brilliant, fantastic staff brilliant food and will come here again and again, shane and aliesa especially

My wife and I called in to the pub today for a drink but later decided to have a bite to eat. I had the scampi and chips from the seniors menu. The plate was hot ( a nice change from many eateries), I chose garden peas and I was expecting the usual hard bullets but was pleasantly surprised to find they were petit pois. I’ve chosen scampi and chips in many pubs over the years but never had such nice peas before. The scampi came with a really nice tartar sauce and the chips were decent too. The service was fast and friendly from Ryan and John and overall I was very satisfied. My partner had the chilli chicken wrap from the lunch menu and found it to be delicious also. My only niggle was that I’d ordered our drinks and the went on to choose food after. Had I noticed that you could add drinks to the food at a discount, it would have been even better. We’ll do this next time!

Sunday roast lunch was a disappointment. The food was swimming in gravy, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding soggy. I won’t be returning. Sorry, as I was really looking forward to a nice lunch with family,

We recently held our son's birthday party at this pub, and it was a fantastic experience! Ryan, one of the staff members, went above and beyond to make the day special. From helping us set up to ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout, his attentiveness and friendly attitude made all the difference. The venue was perfect for a celebration, with great food and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for any gathering, and a big thanks to Ryan for making our day extra memorable!

Four of us went to Admiral Rodney for a drink after a walk in the park.Sat in one of the smaller bars...lovely.BUT we were shocked at the price for the round of drinks (2 pints of Peroni,1 large Sauvignon,1 medium Pinot)..about £29.The same round costs £ 18 to 20 in our local town about 8 miles away.I understand this pub is much nearer Nottingham but it's not in the city centre!! Any particular reason for the higher prices?.Otherwise, really like it there.

Ive took my review of the Rodney down after thinking about it for a few days as admittedly i was a bit harsh . The admiral Rodney is a fine pub either for a quiet drink a lovely snug bar to watch the sport in or for a meal in the main bar or snug . They have got a good selection of beers and the bar staff are friendly and go that extra mile . Well played Rodney keep it up .

Alicia was very professional, service was great and swift. I go to the Rodney often and are always happy with the service by the team.

Great pub friendly staff meal was great enjoyed it will go again

Went to kick off a stag do. Staff were warm and welcoming, food was brilliant value and the drink selection was spot on. What more do you want?

Great place. Cosy in the winter, large beer garden for the summer. Friendly, efficient & and welcoming staff with great beers, lagers, wines & spirits. Food is very good too. Sign up to Greene King & receive free drinks codes & food offers every so often too - can't be bad eh ? It's a great place!

This is a smallish local pub close to Wollaton Hall (which we had just visited). It's a bit basic in decor but the welcome was friendly. We had booked a Seniors Meal beforehand (smaller portions) and the staff were good at serving us. Food quality was okay. 👍

Good, beer and great food great staff

Great place and very reasonable meals. Dog friendly which is also a very good point for dog owners to be aware of.

Excellent food and drink choice and quality to match . First class service as always a proper local village pub with an excellent atmosphere to match

Lovely place just needs a bit of TLC and it to be a freehold again (probably unlikely) Looks beautiful from the outside especially in the summer months with the hanging baskets etc. Just little things like the paint and old wood windows that are in need of some repairs etc, inside is very in keeping with the age of the building and presented nicely, I have been going 47 years on and off and the place has the potential to be epic. Current landlord/management doing a great job though. Staff are very friendly and cheerful. Keep up the good work. Sorry my food review was poor I only had the chicken wings that day but they were not great, again they are limited due to Green King. When we went a while back and the Sunday lunch was nice so I will try something else from the menu on my/our next visit. Thank you. Also I would like to thank the male landlord for his wise words, and sorry for my retort. I understand. Kind regards.

Decent food a good selection of ales and friendly staff highly recommended

Great Sunday roast and fabulous pie.

Bit cramped when eating there was 12 of us. Car park limited spaces. Off road parking, if you arrive early.

Nice pub good beer food was nice too Thanks

Beautiful pub in the heart of Southwell. Always a pleasure to visit and the food is consistently great. Staff can’t do enough for you!

Went with my family to this pub for the first time even though I've lived near for years . It was the most comfortable and pleasing pub in the area . The food was outstanding and filling and large portions . All served by excellent staff . The pub was very nice and very very clean with a great country pub vibe . Over all I would give this place 100/100 . This is our new pub of choice .

Only called in for a coffee. Nice staff. Fair price. Good service. Pleasant atmosphere. Liked the look of the menu so will probably go again if in the area. Very close to Wollaton Hall which is well worth a visit

We were a large party in Nottingham to take part in the transplant games. We had arranged for dinner at 7.30pm. Advised the day before that it may be nearer 8pm. On arrival they asked if we wanted the bill under each name so we all knew what to pay (we had already advised them of the meals in advance). Once the dinners started to come out the kitchen everyone was served really quickly. Food was excellent as was the service. When we all paid the lady was super efficient and we all paid very quickly. Lovely pub and would recommend.

I would thoroughly recommend this great pub for it's food, fantastic service and friendly atmosphere. We were a very large party and the AR team went above and beyond to cater for us all. The food was high quality and great value.

Have been going to this pub for 23 years - over the last few years visits have been less frequent as this pub is sadly going downhill. I won’t be going back after the events this week. I went Monday evening and sat outside, thinking it was odd the beer garden was so empty. Probably because of the massive t.v. they have now installed attracting the yobs a previous reviewer has referenced. Sadly though some of these were staff - I recognised one as one of the ‘chefs’. 8.30 pm after the group had had a few too many shandies they started effing and jeffing at each other. One young lad who moments earlier had been running around upset that his mummy had been trying to call and he had missed them thought he would be intimidating and take off his shirt and invite the ‘chef’ to a fight in the car park. Loads of strutting up and down and a number of ‘you effing c***’s. This went on for about 10 minutes before the landlady came out to ‘deal’ with it. She looked petrified and was unable to control the bunch of idiots. Beer garden emptied of all the decent customers trying to enjoy the evening. Doubt many will be back. She didn’t apologise to any of the remaining customers. I don’t have children and am not a delicate doily but really would not recommend this to anyone thinking this is a family friendly pub. I imagine it would be quite distressing for children to witness. On the other hand rather entertaining to watch a bunch of grown men who couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag trying to be ‘hard’. Wonder if his mummy knows?

Came in this afternoon with family, friends and colleagues had food and drinks, service with Anna and Marta was excellent, they couldn't do enough for us and will definitely be back. Overall good food and good service. Highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely! The manager Ryan, was absolutely wonderful and shown amazing customer service to us all! Really made our experience memorable ☺️

Great service, best tasting steak in Nottingham I’d say, definitely recommend

Saturday afternoon 20/7, Harvest Pale, my favourite pint, gets a 3/5 & double Malibu & coke just under £11. We didn't plan to eat, the menu & food coming out of the kitchen looked good. Salt & pepper chilli chicken & Katsu curry sauce two mains for £14.99 food hot & tasty no complaints 👍 happy to report the two loud & sometimes crude sisters who work the bar where nowhere to be seen 😜

First time here yesterday and got great service from the manager Ryan and the place had a great atmosphere too. Will be back ! ☺️

Great atmosphere and super choice of menus. Great value meals too.

Great place for few a drinks, friendly smiley staff, quick service, nice food, need some refurb but still worth to visit.

I visit Admiral Rodney occasionally but I've got few friends who are regulars who enjoy really friendly atmosphere, appreciate staff sense of humour and positive attitude joking with all customers in all age group what I have noticed myself, if you looking for boring place with personnel without personality go somewhere else. I'm not regular drinker but if I would I would be there more often.

This was the first time I came to the admiral Rodney and my experience was a decent one. Meet a very interesting chap at the bar, working he was. Bright blonde hair I think his name was Alan… Adam yes that was it Adam Ponting a fine young man, the best Barman ive ever meet and I’m 78 and drank everyday. I’m an alcoholic.

Visited with friends for a catch up. The food was lovely, the salt & pepper chicken is very nice. Good atmosphere and great service from Ryan, very helpful and attentive

Not been for years went early afternoon very friendly nice meal and drinks

Lovely traditional pub great beers and food 👍🍺😁

We walk in to the bar staff playing on their phone. We had to repeat our drink order 2 times for 2 Drinks. The menu is really bad lack of choices and a carbon copy of other pubs. No check back on the food which we both left. Will not be going back.

We came across this pub after an event at Wollaton park and as we had to leave the park the opposite end to where we were staying, very lively but welcoming on a Saturday around 10:30.

This pub used to be great 5+ years ago sadly it's been steady going downhill for a number of years. Don't know if it's because the landlord doesn't care aboyt the place or this is just the Greene King standards. The place is in desperate need of a good clean all round. The toilets are shocking, the once nice beer garden has now had a big screen fitted playing football so you can no longer have a nice quiet drink out there thanks to all the rowdy young lads they want to attract to the pub to make a quick buck when footballs on (not everyone likes football). Considering it's location I'm surprised they have chosen to go down that route. Anyway if you want a great pub with a nice beer garden pop down the road to The Wollaton Pub and Kitchen!

Fantastic pub atmosphere, Great food. A little wait but worth it.staff are very attentive, asked if everything was ok. Quiz night is a good laugh

Went on a trip down memory lane. Only to.have them destroyed. What's happenned to this place. Tired. Dirty. Rubbish.foid. waitress really couldn't be bothered and looked scruffy. So sad

Only stopped for one beer, but a nice place and beer was good.

Really like this pub, a country pub in the city I would describe it as. My grandson and I came today and both had the new salt and pepper chicken with katsu dipping sauce and chips. It was really, really tasty, hot and good portions. You only lose a point because with the katsu chicken dish you get 50/50 rice and chips and I would have liked this instead of all the chips. Really good deal at 2 for £14.99 Monday to Saturday.

Decent for the price and a Greene King

Fantastic Pub ! The Blue Cheese Burguer is just amazing !!

Love going here for a Drink and a bite to eat the food is excellent quality and cooked to perfection, And has a nice beer garden with plenty of outdoor seating and the staff are always attentive and friendly, Highly recommended

Loved it! Traditional, and one of those places a few friends can gather around and spend hours . Found a cosy corner to down a few beers that were served by the enterprising bartender. Would certainly visit again

First visit as we came for lunch after a trip to Wollaton park. We came with a puppy and the whole place is very dog friendly. Food also delicious. I will return

As you'd expect, service is slow when it's busy

Nice pub with decent food. Wednesday quiz nights are good fun.

Never thought I'd be giving the Rodney a 1 star but, that's what it deserved when I visited. The staff behaved like they were on a school trip - 3 smashed glasses, and a WHOLE pint poured over a customer 😑 in the space of 2hrs! The food - it was edible. The toilets??!! Jeez, you really need to sort them out!!! You will be pleased to hear I won't be returning any time soon. Let me know when you've had a makeover! 😥

Great pub the food was great just wish you had the new menu like other

Cosy nice pub very close to Wallaton park.

Very good curry and Gammon Steak! Excellent presentation! Very consistent, great Katsu Curry!

Good atmosphere but could do with shutting for a good clean wed everywhere toilets leave a lot to be desired

Good food, friendly staff. Interior has a cottage/cosy feel to it rather than a big open space, menu decent, car park to side, we went with 4 and 5 yr old and would go again.

Drab, cold. Miserable staff. Will not go again.

Staff are very immature. Loved this pub but seems to have gone down hill quickly. Change is needed! Toilets need a good scrub too.

Such a shame as it was a really friendly and welcoming pub. Bar staff are very rude and do not make you feel welcome! Beer lines are not clean and beer tastes foul!

Great food, always a welcoming atmosphere and our server Angela is a star. It’s worth a visit just for her!!

Great local pub. I go there again and again with friends with family and even on my own. Good food. Burgers still come with chips!

Lovely pub. Good choice of beers. Great food, reasonably priced. I liked that the chef came out and asked us how our meal was. Would definitely recommend.

Love the Rodney..we go back years. Love the feel of the place and the ambiance. However a few things always bother me..the price of the lager is utterly astonishing. I've never paid more for a pint of lager in any other pub..anywhere! Ever!!! £6:40... that's capital city prices or worse!! Someone somewhere is rubbing their hands in glee and yet the place is still always full!! Secondly the bloke's toilets are medieval at best. Soooo very grim. I've contemplated peeing myself as an alternative to avoid having to go! Yes THAT bad. I'll still continue to visit despite my moans though. Crazy I know..

Staying in Nottingham, called in here for lunch. Traditional looking pub, lots of tables in various rooms, cosy atmosphere. Very busy but plenty of parking spaces. Few vegan items on the menu, good value, we had the superfood salad, katsu curry and mariana ciabatta with chips. Don't have to wait to long even though it was busy. Specials on so really good value. Cost just over £30 for three meals with drinks. Dogs welcome.Worth calling in for a meal.Would book as it gets busy.

Had a great evening . Food very good

Excellent place to stop for lunch. The steak was particularly good. Classical English pub.

Great food, unfortunately very run down & in need of refurbishment, chipped cups, bad aroma in foyer from toilets, understaffed, very cold.

Good beer range. Comfy seats and open fire

As a drop in for drink and a chat which is what I and my girlfriend did, it's not the best, no where to really find a cosy corner to chat sadly. It's a lovely old pub but far to busy with the Sunday lunch types ,in that respect it's great and just what a green king pub is set up for. I would not go again except for food. Just not what I like or require but we gave it a go.

I appreciate this Is a dog friendly pub, but not dogs on public seats. Unacceptable wouldn't be allowed if German shepherd, or any larger dogs were roaming all over the seats,so shouldn't be allowed for cockapoo type dog's either. But nice pint and lovely pub

Christmas lunch was okay, nothing to write home about. The staff was friendly. But I had a lot of trouble booking as the staff kept making mistakes.

A good place to meet up with friends, either after a good walk around the nearby Wollaton Park or in the evening. Good selection of beer and wine. Food not too expensive either, which is even better. It has a car park, so consider leaving the car until the next day - please don't drink and drive!

Went for Xmas dinner and was very impressed, food was excellent and generous portions with great service in a busy pub.

Pub was busy but lovely, food was very good. The only thing that lets it down is the toilets. There are not enough male toilets and neither the male or female facilities were very clean.

Lovely dog and people friendly pub. Great pub quiz! Warm and welcoming. Fast service even when busy? Thanks guys :)

Lovely get together spent there. I would have enjoyed my Sunday Roast with a little less gravy, or maybe brought on a side. For the rest it was all good. Except the attitude of a waiter cleaning the table clearly kicking us out after our reservation slot expired. Would have been nicer of him talking to us about it instead of clanking chairs and tableware to let us know...it was very passive aggressive of him.

Just popped in for a quick drink after the light show at wollaton. Nice little pub.

Very enjoyable food and drinks. However gents toilets need cleaning.

Excellent selection of beers, and the food was both excellent and very reasonably priced. The chicken katsu curry was worth returning for.

Lovely warm country pub. Good food excelant servic.so good a little wait on sundays and carols round the pump

Really good pub. Some great food offers. The food is was excellent value for money and tasty. Nice large car park at rear of the pub with some outdoor seating. Warm and friendly service and good atmosphere inside the venue. It is an excellent pub and venue to visit for catching up with friends.

Nice atmospheric pub and good food. Service was slow and both gents toilets unclean, which was a shame.

Enjoyed a great family lunch Service was excellent.

Wonderful dog friendly pub, with a wide selection of drinks, including fruity ciders! Offers a wonderful menu of pub fayre, including Sunday roast dinners. Highly recommended!

Quaint village pub, nice atmosphere. Staff alittle clueless, and food was OK. (Mushy wet turkey) Waitress was very nice and helpful.

A good relaxing time with a meal was had.

Good food and great beer. Quiz nights on Wednesdays and Sundays.

If you are looking for a sunday roast look no further amazing meal two different types of meat, so well done it melted in your mouth, large portions and a free, yes free pudding, greenking you have upped your game for this public house amazing choice of beers and superb service ...try it ...but book if not early the only thing that let's it down are the toilets absolutely disgusting water or piss everywhere and stinks of it you'd be cleaner in a portable outside Staff are not bothered it's been like it for months if not longer Go to toilet before going

I absolutely love this pub. It's always great service. Great food can't beat the small dishes highly recommended. The staff here are so friendly and accommodating .

Just a really good food pub. All food and drinks were good ( nothing special but what can you expect for the very reasonable prices?). Will definitely come again. Service and friendliness above average too

Comida buena, buena cerveza en un ambiente muy agradable con personal muy atento.

Sadly we were there for a wake for an Aunt so not a normal visit. We took over one of the bars. The selection of food provided (sandwiches, pork pie, homemade sausage rolls, crudités, dips, chips, onion rings, etc) was very good and clearly freshly done. Good selection of beers and the service was fine.

Food really nice and good price. Chap who served us was quite rude. I felt cross about this as we'd just come from a funeral and people had come a long distance to join us
