Badger Box in Ashfield

My 1st visit here and I wasn't disappointed. A special mention to Jessica who was very friendly and helpful. I'm such a fussy eater, Jessica was able to sort my order so I could enjoy fully loaded chicken strips thats no longer on the menu. Absolutely amazing service, will definitely be back. Thankyou.

Will not be coming back into the pub, after how I got treated what the hell does it matter what football shirt I have on I was still a paying customer I do want to make a complaint

Great pub and excellent food. Highly recommend

Met up with a friend for an afternoon soaking up the sun in a pub garden. We used the app to order food and drinks. Service was great, we found the staff friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the food too. Would definitely make a return visit.

Nice food, great staff and fast service. All diets catered for to some degree 👌🏻

Went with friends for lunch. Problems with aps and not a very extensive gf menu.

Great food and fantastic service from Mandy and Charlotte. Thank you

I don’t know what happened but I barely drank what I usually have and I was throwing up all night and day… Was so confused as I didn’t drink that much… Left me in agony and I still am not well when it was 2 weeks ago… We did eat there and I wonder if it was that? Not impressed by this… I was incredibly ill. Edit** I emailed and no one got back to me.

Use to be our favourite place to meet up, but after our last visit we will not be returning. Awful food and really bad customer service not sure where the old staff have gone!

Nice sun trap garden, full of sun 😎 Never ate here, service was a little slow only 1/2 behind the bar, others probably serving tables or delivering drinks ordered on the app 🤔

Some of the staff are all bit miserable, food is average greene king food. Outside area couls be good if looked after but it does have a decent outdoor area

Never dissapointed decent steak and chips for the price, polite staff great service

Food:It is cheap,nice and is very delicious and it was very good at wanting me to get more food Service:Came out quick still tasted good and the waiters were very kind and checked in if the food was good and we were happy Atmosphere:There is a kids playground a obsticale course and there is a lot of space to run around,and there is space between tables and chairs plus there a some machines you can get awesome surprises for a little price. Extra:And I have been going here for years and i have never been disappointed of there food,service or Atmosphere and if you want good food come here

Our chips we're covered in melted plastic

Been a regular here for years but the past few times we’ve been it’s gone really down hill every time we go they don’t have what we want then same for deserts even down to the san Miguel I mean first rule is to stay stocked up not only that but something is always messed up with the order not a very good experience here anymore so sadly I won’t be returning for a long time now

Now this place has the best XL mixed grill I’ve ever tasted I have my steak medium rare all the meat/Food on the meal was mouth watering My partner had the chicken & Rib Combo same response from her…the drinks were ice cold & tasted Great no watered down Soda & beer in this pub 🙌❤️ We literally had the best time out there food was delicious the place is comfy relaxing and the staff are kind and lovely the prices aren’t high per meal I’ll be back here all the time 🙌 10/10

Nice place ! Great food, for a great price !! Pint of beer great price ! Greets from the Netherlands !

Asked for ribeye medium rare...came to me well done,wasn't inedible and I ate it but come on chef,it's a steak and easy to get right... the waitress was very polite and asked if I wanted another one...not her fault...but i wont be going back in a hurry...shame as the pub is lovely.

The bar staff last night, with the exeption of Mandy, appeared to be trying to sabotage the bingo and sticky 13! Clinking glasses continually when play was on, but not otherwise. Thinking that service was the least, not the most important aspect. Started at 9.15, not 8.30. Only 2 games played, not 4. I spoke to another group and one of them is sending you an email. I`ve been coming in here for the last 50 years.

Great little pub enjoyed our meal good beer great food friendly staff 👍🏻

Chloe and Jack are incredibly friendly! We're here every Thursday and it's always a good laugh!

Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, Chloe and Jack were very helpful and accommodating.

Lovely food .my friend had steak pie & I had scampi & chips

Nice atmosphere and Colin runs a great poker night every Monday evening 😀

Ruth was very pleasant and kind and friendly

Brilliant venue. Recently joined the redtooth poker league on Monday nights, Colin made me feel very welcome and runs a great night of poker!

Very swift! Despite it being busy, properly catered for.

Good food, good service thank you Ruth 🥰

We come in every week and have done for years, Ruth always makes us feel welcome and is great with the kids!!

Ruth is an absolutely fantastic member of staff here alway polite and happy to help great with all customers young and old been coming here for years and she always greats you with a smile x

Amazing food. Ruth was amazing, friendly and helpful

Food was OK, portion a little small.

Been a few times when coming off motorway j27 from a day off or holiday etc. Staff has been so friendly and seem happy which makes dining that little bit nicer. The food has always been spot on and a nice menu for my family with 2 older boys and 1 younger that orders off child's menu. We order chicken and mix and very happy with it.

The food is decent for the price you pay, but for me it’s always about the service and I love to see happy staff who are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble, and makes an effort to be on the same wavelength, nice and jovial. Great job! Our sever (I think Colin, he will know us as the ones who asked for the extra gravy and didn’t use all of it) was particularly fabulous.

We are not coming here again.We ordered at 12:15 we didn’t get our food till 13:34 and that was because we complained. My poor son was so hungry. Even when we got the food, the waitress didn’t even apologise for the wait. There were people coming in after us, getting their food and they left while we were just sat there. Also nobody came over to see if everything was alright. Just really poor service. Im disgusted! I have already sent a complaint to Greene King Joe.

Booked a table for a Valentines night meal with my wife. Absolutely freezing in there as no heating on a most people sat heating with coats/jackets on. Food was hot when it came but was cold at the end as that cold in there.

For a chain restaurant it was ok. Place needs a little bit of care and attention. The tables and menus were quite dirty and my food was also overcooked to the point it was hard. The server were great though attentive and polite!

It's ok, it's a chain pub so your not gonna get something new and exciting, but it's nice and a pretty fair price. I'd go again.

Excellent service everytime Quality food for the price Nice environment

Food awful full of greese.. bland, presentation poor. Staff unhelpful & pushy. Over priced. Place looks quite run down & dated. Tables dirty.

Lovely local pub for family and a pint. Great food and plenty of beers on tap.

It was my wife’s Birthday & we arranged a family get together meal. The meal that I wanted which was the steak & ale pie was not available so I chose steak, We all really enjoyed our meals but the best be far was what my wife chose she had the 8 hour slow cooked rib of beef omg that was amazing and will definitely be what I have from now on.

Popular pub, great menu and efficient staff. Good offers on different days of the week. Food always a good pub food standard. Nice to meet friends here as tables as well placed.

Visited for Christmas Day lunch with my Dad. We had a great time so wanted to say a huge Thank You to all the staff who worked so hard on Christmas Day. We we're booked in for 2pm. Arrived a little early and told our table would be ready at the exact time we booked so had time to grab a drink. At 2pm we were called to be seated so it was all very organised. Staff were all friendly, professional, helpful and cheerful. It was obviously absolutely packed out on Christmas Day so they were working extra hard to give great service. Plenty of checks to see that we were fine, that the food was up to standard and drinks order checks. Getting a Christmas card was a really nice little touch too. Food was brilliant - we really enjoyed the meal from starter to desert. Went with non-traditional options as the menu had some great choices and accommodated some little adjustments. Thanks to you all for a lovely Christmas Day.

Staff member was very miserable, 'Mandy' (I think?) When we arrived on Christmas eve the attitude of the staff member was terrible. At first I thought it was me over reacting, but, before I said anything, the rest of our party commented that they couldn't understand why she was so rude to me, it gives you the impression that if you're in regularly, then, you get treated we respect, as I went in for a second drink, I got ignored by the same person in flavour for someone she was on first name terms with. I get it's a difficult time of year for bar staff, but, I always approach everyone being overly nice so if i had recieved 10% of that back I wouldn't be writing this review.

Very goog food and the prises are very reasonable too, the staff very nice and always helpful

I didn't eat, just had a drink.

Lovely meal for wedding anniversary

Called in for a spot of lunch on Monday. Great value meal and great service from Sam. He was very personable and recommended other meals we might like to try. Very good.

It is what you expect, the food isn't exactly the healthiest but sometime you just want to go out and have a drink and grab something that tastes good. At the bar my sister ordered steak without the chips and to add a salad. The server directed her to the option for steak and salad which saved a little money so she was very happy with that. We made ammendments to a few of our dishes and there was no fuss. All of it came out correct and didn't take that long. Drinks were great and there was a good selection of gins that I haven't seen in alot of other bars in the area. (I suggest the cherry bakewell gin.) We found a parking space easily and it was a nice temperature when we stepped inside.

Outstanding food and very reasonably priced drinks too. A wonderful evening here.

Would never ever go back!! Staff didn’t know the menu! Gluten free menu was awful! All food was awful left the food as a group as all 4 meals were awful! Really disappointed in the staff not having knowledge or being friendly! No photos taken left hungry and super disappointed

One member of staff was more interested in her friend and her phone than the customers. While the other girl was running round dealing with customers and clearing tables. We had eaten our mains ordered dessert they had arrived the table still hadn't be cleared. She was to busy talking on her phone and to her friend. We asked for the to be cleared at which she just rolled her eyes, her friend stood commenting then they went to the room were the glasses are washed and continued pointing at us. When we got up to leave the waitress and friend stood by there table continued there school girls behaviour. We have been long term customers and have never been treated like this disgusting

It very nice experience and much appreciated

Struggled to get a family table. Loads reserved but not many people arriving at the time we were there. Chicken skillet was good. Burgers were flavoursome. Small children struggled to get on and off stools as we were right next to tv on high table.

Popped in for a lunchtime visit, but the waiting time was 40 minutes, very busy and popular, so we only had a drink, and we will return one day but early enough to dine.

Great service great meal , mandy Colin and Ruth are very helpful

Lovely pub and extremely friendly staff , great atmosphere for families , we whee served by mandy and Colin at the bar , Ruth on the floor all three where fab and very helpful 10 out of 10

Always a good meal, friendly staff

Poker on Monday nights are unmissable if you can play. Even if you can’t to be honest. You’ll still have a good time!

Food beautiful . prices very reasonable .service exceptional highly recommend. nice & clean .place

Friendly, tidy pub. Food is good value. Parking is easy & staff are very helpful. Renovations are beautiful.

If you allergies then avoid this place. Only 1 gluten free option in the menu and they will not swap things to allow more choice. I asked for a naan bread to be exchanged for chips but they would not do that. I would have thought it was fairly easy to put a kebab on chips rather than bread but it was too much trouble.

Came to the badger box last week and was greeted by a very nice bar man called Joe I believe, he was very accommodating with what beers they had in stock and the food I had with my wife was very nice, I would recommend this pub to anyone. Also I live in Kirkby so it’s easy to get to.

Good food and good service. I was served by Sam tonight and he was very friendly .

Served by Sam who was very helpful and polite would come again

Came in for a drink last Tuesday and was served by Mandy. She couldn’t do enough for me - great service Thankyou!

Lovely food, and really good service

We had booked a table but, we arrived very early and they let us have the table straight away. The food was good and the prices were average. The staff were very polite and friendly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because there was dropped food on the floor which should have been cleaned up.

booked a table, but when we told the bar staff this, they pointed in the general direction of the tables... basically look for yourself. also when one of our party asked about a coffee or a dessert she was told they stopped serving these at 9.pm. we did not know this.. it was not anywhere we could see to say that... finally one of tge fussy ones in our group ordered 2 portions of chips... the portions were very very poor... not many chips on the plate. overall very disappointed in our evening. c

Great night celebrating my birthday . The Skas band were fab . Table of 18 for food and drinks . The staff and service was first class and the food offered good value for money. Thankyou for a lovely evening

Food was fantastic didn't have to wait long. Staff where nice & friendly

The service from joe was very good and I was very pleased with the food. Definitely recommend.

Great service from Sam, food was cheap and cheerful

Had a lovely meal yesterday, was served by a lovely young girl grace, me and my family will deffo be back.

The WORST food me and the wife have ever had. I had the mixed grill, and all the meat was tasteless. The chips were hard. My wife had the roast beef dinner the mashed potatoes were lumpy and the beef was dry. Will never go back

Myself and my family went to The Badger Box Thursday night. The food was good value for money and we didn't wait long for it. The young lady who was looking after us was called Shannon. She was a delight. Very friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. She made our visit pleasurable and so we shall be returning.

I went for a drink on 22nd Thursday night I pop after work, but the designed to eat there as the food looked good. So we sat down order the food and more drinks it came out in a good time, and our server shannon could not do enough for us she was so polite. I will go back again.

Lovely visit came for food waited on by a young girl Grace who couldn't do enough to make sure everything was OK. Will Definitely be back

Came to badger box last night for a family meal it was a large family gathering so there was a lot of food and drinks ordered the food was absolutely 5 * but the lovely waitress who served us was Shannon and what a wonderful waitress she was nothing was too much trouble , as we had a few children with us they changed their minds several times about the food they wanted but Shannon just said its fine we are a family friendly pub and love to see families here , she bought our drinks over very quickly as well as our food we also had our elderly parents with us who are sometimes a bit picky but Shannon took her time with them and talked to them like she was talking to her own grandparents she even got them laughing they absolutely loved her . This is a 5* review because everything was absolutely lovely, food was lovely and hot we all had a fantastic evening and special thankyou to our waitress Shannon who without a doubt helped make it a great night

Came in today for some food was greeted by the lovely staff who were all so welcoming. Got served by a young girl called Chloe who had a smile and was very helpful in helping us make decisions on food and drinks. Definitely will be coming back and giving recommendations out to friends and family. Very nice pub and food was great.

First visit but will be back food fab and our server Jake was fantastic couldn’t do enough for us , please go it great

We were served by Sam who was absolutely brilliant! Kind and hospitable, we will definitely be back!

Waited just over an hour, which wasn't a problem, we had been told that, had a steak flat bread meal that came out cold, Sent it back, it had the steak and 4 lettuce leaves on it, didn't look like the picture at all, the the waitress did ask if she could get me something else and I did decline, hadn't got time to wait for anything else *not been able to email you

Been going to the badger box for several months now and the service from the staff is always very welcoming and friendly. The food is also very good with a good variety of choices. Keep up the good work..

Awesome pub. Friendly staff and bangin' food. The gardens wicked when it's sunny too.

Great family pub serving great beer and food, the staff are ace as well.

Ordered two burgers with extra onion rings and coleslaw to share and two aperol spritz. Firstly, the aperol spritz they bought out were not aperol, had no aperol in them, and tasted of elderflower. We tried to grab someone's attention but was ignored in favour of them talking to friends. The food came, so we asked them to swap the drinks out then, which shouldn't have taken long. We were most of the way done with the meal when they finally bought the drinks out. The chips were cold and the chicken burger was overcooked. I never received the onion rings or coleslaw, and tried to grab someone's attention again to see where they'd gotten to and again was ignored while they were talking to friends. I was told the onion rings were sitting on the side for ages when I asked for a refund, so why couldn't they look back through the orders and see who'd ordered what? 0/5 - I won't be back.

Didn't eat but the food looked good.

Great food decent prices big indoor space and huge outdoor space with TV, sheltered seating and a play area for kids I had the beef rib I would 100% Recomend it as it was gorgeous Will definitely return

Sunday beef dinner was awful frozen veg overcooked pk mash won't be going back 😫

Food wasn’t bad but nothing special, can’t complain for the price

Great place with great offers on food and nice beers. Marked atmosphere down cus music a bit loud where you eat

Nice place for good food and drink

Friendly atmosphere good service and good food mostly grilled New menu recently

We had excellent service from noelle today very friendly and attentive, also excellent food service too

Nice pub but slow bar service and food coming out.i would give it another try

Really enjoyed our meal here, and as an unexpected bonus we happened to be there on quiz night! We came 3rd and won a bottle of vino! Fab food, brill atmosphere. Definitely be back.
