Apple Tree in Rushcliffe

Bar staff are awful - very rude. Cutlery for our meal was chucked on our table. Food took ages to arrive but was good

Love this place; delicious and decently priced food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely worth the visit.

Nice birthday treat for my wife Jenny, food luke warm had our sweet boxed up and took home disaster supposed to had of been a celebration

Well what can I say about this place’ It’s absolutely spot on with food drink and most of all friendly staff Katie the landlady goes that extra mile to make everyone’s meal and day special Christmas breakfast with Santa was brilliant, the children loved everything about it and the breakfast was great The staff and everyone down there is an awesome atmosphere with a very cosy setting and especially the open fire Luke, Pete and Katie and all the gang are just amazing It’s our go to every week Thanks guys keep up with what you’re doing you guys deserve a special Christmas.

We used to visit here once or twice a week many years ago, then children came along. Now they’re older we decided to visit again. It’s still a really nice pub, gorgeous open fire and festive Christmas decorations. Only downside was being sat by a side door, which let in cold air each time someone walked through. With two other doors it should ideally be locked to keep the heat in. Everything else was spot on though. Great place to go for a meal.

Breakfast with Santa Santa was great lovely activities set out Breakfast sausages wernt edible extremely burnt

Good old traditional and friendly pub. The pub quiz was on, which was nice to see, so many different generations were taking part. Atmosphere was lovely. Customer Service is polite, friendly, and welcoming.

Good place to meet up and grab a bite to eat

Food and drink of a reasonable standard

A slightly bigger table for 4, one in a wheelchair

Great food and drink at reasonable prices. Staff extremely professional and friendly especially our Spanish waitress who is brilliant. Really good menu choices

The food is lovely, the service is good and the staff are very nice.

Really enjoyed our food and especially the customer service. Pete appears to be a great asset to the pub.Highly recommended

Cold in the pub and poor lighting outside to see the ramp for wheelchairs. Food portions were good and (mostly) tasty. Very good value £16 fixed price 3 courses.

Me and my wife came in for a lovely meal and drinks Was made to feel very welcome by a young man, I believe his name was Pete. Seemed very knowledgeable about the vegetarian options on the menu as my wife doesn't eat meat. Beer seems well looked after. Some of the best service by Pete And just a lovely pub Will definitely be back

Excellent service & food that is affordable, will definitely return.

Had 2 main courses & a couple of beers & coffee. Lovely clean & cosy pub Staff were welcoming & friendly. Attentive service & food was really nice (we had steak pie). Nice ambience & fellow pub goers seemed happy. I’d def return again Locals are very lucky to have this as their local!

45 minutes for two nachos starters to arrive, and only after we gave staff a reminder. Starters were poor and main courses were average at best. Shame because the atmosphere and comfort was good.

Drank in here since the place was built

Another great visit and love the new menu

Server on the bar was great with some brilliant steaks

7 of us booked a table for food,it was very good and plenty of choice staff we polite and helpful good choice of beer too !!

Staff and surroundings lovely. Food not great, and we eat anything.

Brilliant chef, lovely atmosphere and certainly worth going again

Good food, good service, would come back. Thank you very much.

I have been coming to The Apple Tree for many years now. I love this pub! The staff are fantastic and are a huge part of why I come back time and time again. Katy is a fantastic landlady who really cares about the guests that come through the doors and the experience that they receive. I visit solo and with family and friends for both food and drinks and I can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal, portion sizes are great and value for money is excellent. The Apple Tree is an asset to the area and I will certainly be visiting for many more years to come

The place was about empty but they are so short staffed they were running around like crazy. It took nearly an hour to get our food. I don't expect fast food but also know this place is chain and don't make everything from scratch. I came here after a similar experience a few years ago to see if things had improved. They haven't. Food was nice and it was reasonably priced.

Food was superb. Atmosphere friendly, and service spot on.

Lovely place. Food was great. Grilled seabass and tandoori chicken skewer.

We visited this venue on the Sunday 22/9/24 with family as we always wanted to try it out, we had booked a table for 2pm, we arrived at the pub but there was no one to greet us, seemed like there were no staff around, the bar person behind the bar was busy, then a guy popped out from behind the bar we gave our name and he led us to our table, we decided we would go to the bar to get drinks, we stood at one side of the bar but we're told to go to the other end, it all seemed very rushed no customer service, we ordered our food from the table app before we went to the bar, ,it wasn't very busy but for some reason we had waited 40mins for our food with no apology when the food eventually arrived, which was nicely cooked but the guy at the bar and the same guy who was then wiping tables when asked about the delay with the food was very abrupt and it didn't make a nice experience for a family visit.

Met with friends for lunch had chicken & leek pie, pastry was abit hard for my liking food was nice , plenty of choice of drinks alcoholic & non alcoholic

Brilliant menu and great service and atmosphere

Love the place The staff are brilliant food is absolutely delicious and very good value for your money never have I had a bad meal there and the place is just very relaxing

Great food and staff were really friendly

Lovely staff, warm atmosphere and great food.as always

Decent Chip, Max was an excellent bartender 👍🏻

First time visit and the last the meal apart from the chips were cold-had ham,egg,chips and peas . Staff friendly.

Super quick service from bar staff. Katie was very helpful and patient taking our food order for 6 and adjusted my son's food to his requirement. Overall a great experience. Thanks 👍

Staff fantastic! Steak was amazing! Will 100% be coming back next time me and the family are in town. 5 star service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say, the experience was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish we ordered was prepared to perfection. However, what truly made our visit exceptional was the amazing service we received from Pete. We had a small issue with one of our orders, but Pete handled it with such grace and professionalism. He was quick to address the problem and ensured that our meal was rectified promptly. Not only did he make sure everything was perfect, but he also made us feel comfortable and happy about bringing up the issue in the first place. His positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond truly enhanced our dining experience. Pete’s customer service was top-notch, and I can’t thank him enough for making our visit so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back, and it’s all thanks to the fantastic food and Pete’s outstanding service. Highly recommended!

We visited this pub restaurant to celebrate my partner’s birthday. We arrived at 20.00 which I thought may be too late to be served food but we were directed to a table where we chose our food. The staff asked about any food allergies either of us have and so we told them what I can’t eat. We had cheesy garlic ciabatta for a starter with me having rump steak and my partner having a mixed grill. Both were served with crispy fried onions, chips, tomato, mushrooms and peas. Our food was cooked to perfection and we had a wonderful evening. I was especially impressed when our food arrived at the table it was marked with little flags to indicate I have food allergies so to avoid cross contamination, it is the first time I’d seen this and was therefore rather impressed.

I was over charged and the staff member refused to do anything to fix the issue. Can not state how rude he was about it. I will never be returning.

Thank you to Peter who look after our party during a very sensitive wake. Highly recommend. Also loved the beer battered mushrooms. They were a hit!

Just wanted to say the guy at the bar idk his name but short hair a bit shy but really sound guy I bought a drink and then he showed me a table and where I could charge my phone really relaxed and just normal didn’t feel like bro was forcing being nice which is good I would say I’d come back but I’ve just arrived in nottingham would recommend though

Popped in for a drink, place was nearly empty, cask ale not great, used to be a decent place, don't think I'll return

Lovely atmosphere and welcoming vibe Great food and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend

Luke and Megan were lovely and very helpful when I popped in for dinner with my mother the other night

Had a fab night at The Appletree! 🍎🌲 We came here last weekend for some drinks with a few friends and had a brilliant night! Great atmosphere and the team were so helpful with cocktail recommendations!

Great food,great atmosphere.Lovely staff...Defo coming back. 10/10...👍👍👍👍

Paula I'd amazing they were so busy but she helped us with a question and took the time to cone and ask us is everything OK xxxx

Warm friendly welcome nice clean areas staff really friendly and welcoming, food was devine we had a Sunday roast Highly recommend this place

Good service and food well prepared

V nice food..pleasant staff. All round decent, enjoyable lunch.

Lovely dinner out with my family, would recommend to anyone local

Food took ages, came out at different times.. could tell was microwaved burnt inside of my mouth.. ordered Eton mess oh my goodness what a sloppy mess it was too! Don't bother

We were looked after very much by a lovely lady. Food was ok but not great. Reasonably priced. Lovely garden and atmosphere.

For the Apple Tree, I tried a sea bass with mashed potatoes, peas and a parsley sauce from the Christmas menu with my colleagues. In spite of the lacking presentation, the food offered was genujnely “good grub”. In terms of the fish, I am not a frequent eater but I throughly enjoyed the flavour packed into the fish and the crispy exterior. However, I did not enjoy the green vegetables on my plate and felt that more flavour could have been offered. Aside from that, service is always great here and staff frequently check in on you to assist wherever they can and quickly serve you. For that purpose, I give a four star rating.

It was very reasonably priced here and the food was delicious! I would recommend this venue to everyone! Well done!

Lovely food, great for a midweek dinner

Website needs tweaking staff Very friendly staff are great at their job. Food is spot-on. You can’t fault it for the price.

The food was really good but the service was appalling, waited an hour for it to arrive and in that time we only saw two tables served, one of them was for a couple who arrived after us. If they are that busy why don't they inform you when you place your order what the wait is likely to be.

We had to wait 1 hour after ordering food which I think is not acceptable. If we had been told about this when we ordered we would have not stayed as we were celebrating and were hungry. When the food arrived it was gorgeous

Our party was very large and a lot of our guests were a bit disgruntled that the food was a bit sporadic. People were finished before others ha even started. That said, in my opinion the food was very well prepared and it came out piping hot, which is a big plus in my book. It could have been cold, it could have been warm, but it wasn't it was very nice.

Food is consistently good and table service excellent. getting seated was a problem on this occassion. I had reserved a table but waited over 10mins at a busy understaffed bar to ask which table. With it getting busier and no sign of queue lessening much I gave up found the table i though it was most likely to be given I asked for space for a wheelchair. Luckily I guessed right. from that moment on we had a lovely time and all enjoyed our meals apart from a small mistake with one order that we decided to not follow up as wasnt a biggie. Remains my fave localish pub to go to for good reasonably priced food for different budgets and appetites with lots to choose from.

Bit off a wait but some times not too long

Consistently good food and reasonable prices. Lovely helpful staff. Love being able to order by app from the table.

Nice chill spot and lovely bar staff. 2-4-1 cocktail offer although not a massive selection.

Good quality food with a great view over Nottingham from the car park!

Sunday lunch was good value Chicken breast was dry The app is over complicated for ordering. Why ask if every item is to be served with the main course when I’m ordering dessert ? Food was slow to arrive and there appeared to be only one lovely lady trying to serve the whole restaurant. Bar staff were less friendly- they seemed to have too much to juggle. You had to queue at the bar to find which reserved table you had. Then return to the bar to order drinks and food. One member of bar staff did have to apologise to other diners for waiting over an hour for mains to come out- he said the kitchen got lots of tickets all together and was falling behind !

Care of waitress, my mother has dementia but was made to feel very welcome

Great choice of beer's lovely staff, very reasonable price and a nice atmosphere. Didn't have any food but plenty of customers were so cannot be bad

Lovely cosy pub with great burgers!

Lovely 3 courseSunday dinner today, big improvement from the last one about5 years ago& my previous review. All 3 courses were tasty, the service was good& the price reasonable. Would definitely recommend. We'll be back! Elaine

The décor and feel of the place is very nice, the open fires help with this. The staff were very friendly and only too happy to help

Had a lovely Sunday dinner with my family on Sunday, service was fast and everything came out hot couldn’t fault it. Pete behind the bar was fantastic and gave us all a laugh which was well needed. Will definitely go back again and would recommend

Staff were very helpful, couldn’t do enough for us.

Extremely slow service, waited 45 minutes for starters, unacceptable as was at 2.30pm, not peak time

The visit was for a wake of a party of around 45 people. I was the arranger and paid for it. The buffet food was very good quality. Unfortunately we had to provide our own table cloths for laying out the buffet food. That should not be the case for a lovely pub like The Apple. The coffee was provided by way of sachets and tea bags which was not ideal. At least a self-serve hot drinks machine should be provided, like the quality ones in Premier Inn hotels. The reserved area for our party was well thought out with ‘reserved’ signs on all tables. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. Another improvement would be to offer a wider selection of hot food for hosting special events like mine. For example a pot of chilli with rice, stew with potatoes etc. Overall I was satisfied as was my party members. Thank you to the Apple Tree management and support staff. N. Robinson (Chester)

Came for lunch this week and the food was lovely. I had one of the burgers and my partner had the mixed grill. Everything was superb. The members of staff are super friendly and welcoming.Highly recommend and will definitely be back 😊

Just had an excellent meal, the slow cooked rib of beef was faultless will definitely be returning 😋 👌

This is a lovely place, there's a good menu selection. Food was served hot and every plate in our group looked very good value for money...... I need to return to sample more of the menu lol...... Staff were friendly and attentive and it's a warming atmosphere especially with the log fires.

Ordered the 3 course meal for under £15 and got a drink too. Was quite surprised on the quality of the food, massive portion of garlic bread for starter and pasta very tasty for main meal. Lovely brownie for desert. Ordered using the online system was very easy to use.

Polite and efficient staff, decent tap list and not unfriendly locals.

This pub used to be our go to for meals out, catch up with friends or just passing through. However both my partner and I felt the whole place has gone down hill. Food was way over cooked, chicken was rubbery and salsa tasted like it had been open in the jar for about a week. Both of us have had upset stomachs for the past two days now. Sadly will not be returning anytime soon.

Nice food, decent portions friendly staff.

The pub is cosy and spacious with lovely fireplaces. There is only ever 2 staff waiting behind the bar. Took my parents who were here from abroad and was extremely disappointed with the food as most of it is cheap frozen food

Booked a meal at the appletree in wilford on Christmas day food was lovely worth the money , staff forgotten my Brussels but not to worry

Disappointed by a 50 minute wait for two meals on a Thursday when the pub was quiet. It was just before Christmas but it wasn't busy late afternoon. When it came, food was OK but not as good as usual. Eg, avocado in salad wasn't quite ripe. Nice atmosphere though and staff were friendly.

We came for Breakfast with Santa. The Grandkids absolutely loved every minute 🎅🎅

From the setting of the table., the waitresses, the food and the log fire, everything was fantastic

The food was good, the beer range was okay but a beer or two from smaller breweries would be better.

Lovely helpful team, better than the normal pub food.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere, Claire was really friendly and the beer selection was plentiful.

Economical choices including fixed price multi-course meals, lunch bites, and more. Free parking available. A better/safe option is to book your table in advance.

Okay pub in Compton Acres. Easy parking availability. Had booked table in advance but no need on weekday evening. Okay service and food. Little slow. Food standard pub fare, decent enough. Will likely come back occasionally.

Nice quiet pub. Pleasant surroundings and unobtrusive. Thank You

We booked a table and was sat in the children’s area which was very noisy. I ordered a curry, this was fine. My husband ordered the hunters chicken, due to a restricted diet asked for grilled tomatoes instead of the onion rings mushrooms. The chicken was overcooked and the tomatoes had just been flashed on the griddle. He was very disappointed. He did mention it to the server who said she would tell the chef.

Typical estate chain pub. Food ok but not brilliant. Beer good and well kept. I took a group of 10 walkers aged 60+ there. Strangely, despite pre-ordering, we were asked to pay for the food on arrival before the kitchen would start it. So we had to wait 30 minutes. I just got a feeling throughout the whole process that we were not made particularly welcome in comparison with other similar places that embraced a large group. Sorry, just being honest.

Very good value bar food. They do a 2 course evening menu that is great value and also a lunch menu. It’s cheap and nice. There was a quiz that starts around 9pm on a Tuesday night also which was popular. There were quite a few in for a mid week night. Would return.

The time we waited for food was ridiculous 45-60 minutes with no warning it would take that long. Meals coming out at different times so as a table of 15 we didn’t all eat together for my daughter’s birthday meal.
