Bread and Bitter in Gedling

Haven’t eaten here much even though it is local but their Sunday Lunch is fantastic value for money. Generous portions, fresh and tasty with a lovely Yorkshire Pudding and plenty of gravy - couldn’t fault it. Staff were very attentive too.

Start with the positives. Pub has a really good vibe. Wish it was my local. Bar staff extremely friendly. After we had ordered at 1pm one of the staff came to our table to say they had no Moussaka or Tagliatelle. How at 1pm is it still not available on a very limited menu. After waiting a while I asked the gentlemen who was running around if our food was nearly ready. The answer I got was its on its way we are busy. In my opinion on the food side it didn't seem "busy'. Guess they were lucky the large table cancelled. Not much chicken in the Caribean and the chilli looked lacklustre. Hope this was an off day for them and was down to staffing as the pudding was fab and after overcharging me one pudding brought the difference back to my table. Love the honesty.

Fabulous meal yet again at B+B. Four of us had a lovely Sunday dinner it was cooked to perfection. We have never been disappointed with good or service at Bread and Butter great Pub. Thanks a lot . Mrs B and Family.

My son, his wife and one year old baby and I had Sunday lunch at the Bread & Bitter pub, and what an absolute pleasure it was! The premises are light and airy, well furnished, with plenty of room, including outside seating. The menu is simple, straightforward, delicious and great value for money. Service is outstanding, and the beers are incomparable, as one would expect from Castle Rock brewery. Add to this the blessed absence of thrice-accursed piped ‘Muzak’, and our cups runneth over. There were plenty of customers, many of them families like ours, and I can’t think of a better place to bring your nearest and dearest. Another triumph from the outstanding Castle Rock company. They deserve to prosper, and we shall do our bit by eating there as often as we can.

As locals we have been visiting this pub for 8 years because of the friendly service, good choice of drinks and overall great vibe, but our recent meal was highly disappointing. The pizzas were average, the moussaka was stodgy, (I think my 11 year old could make a healthier and tastier version), the Caribbean chicken had a meagre amount of meat with what can only be described as a straight-out-the-jar overly sweet sauce, lacking that Caribbean taste that makes you want to eat more. My partner described his veggie burger as bland, swimming in dense coleslaw. Can management please put some consideration into the menu? Until you do, I wouldn’t recommend eating here, very disappointing.

We came here for lunch with my brother-in-law. The staff were welcoming, the food was exellent, and the selection of beer was astounding. A nice pub with plenty of space, a sheltered outside area and an air conservatory. I just wish it didn't take me three hours to get here from home.

I'd like to thank the staff at Bread and Bitter for the best 40th party I could have wished for. From the time of booking, Ben was so helpful, all the way to the night of the party which was perfect! The venue was just the right size, not too big so it looked empty and not too small to be cramped. The exposed bricks and beams made the room look so attractive and characterful. Everyone commented on how nice the food was (especially the chilli!) And what we loved is that we were advised to order less than the total number of our guests and they were right. There was plenty of food! This was such a nice touch as they could have been out to make more more money from us. We set up our own music and were allowed to have my sons play live too which just made the night for me! Thank you again for a perfect night which meant even more after what we've all been through. Lovely pub with a warm atmosphere and lovely staff. Thank you!

What was once the best pub in the area is now one that I will never return to. We’ve been going there for years and always enjoyed the food, the beer and the atmosphere. The staff have always been great. Things seem very different now, there are some new staff in there, they are brilliant. Really welcoming, polite and ensure you have everything you need. A member of the original crew was truly foul to us which is why will will never set foot in the place again.

Would like to thank chef and staff for a wonderful meal tonight. It's really top nosh . Well done . Lovely varied menu good portions and reasonable price. All round great service . Always a good pub to vist and the wonderful food is extra bonus. We took friends that hadn't been there before. However they will definitely be going again . Keep up the great job your all doing kitchen and bar staff.

Saturday lunch special treat.with husband .I had a lovely salmon salad.husband had a burger. Clean friendly traditional pub .tucked away.behind spoons .

A family meal out for Sunday lunch was absolutely perfect. We didn’t book, but the service inviting us in and finding a table for 4 was excellent and very quick. Delicious beer and a very tasty Sunday lunch, piping hot and including a very nice vegan roast with vegan Yorkshire pudding and a vegan desert. We had fruit crumble and custard as well . Delicious. The service was exceptional and very friendly and the whole vibe perfect. I can 100% recommend this pub for Sunday lunch.

Went with our daughter on Sunday for lunch and chose the roast options, lamb for me and beef for the other two. Place has lovely, friendly vibe about and obviously gets very busy on Sundays so need to book table in advance. Because it is so busy, you may have to wait a while for food after ordering, but we’ll worth the wait. Good portions, food all nicely cooked and tasty. Staff are great and very helpful with good customer service skills. We were there at peak time and missed our turn for service but the staff spotted that and offered us free dessert to compensate. Nice touch but not really necessary as we were chatting anyway and hadn’t noticed the wait. Would highly recommend for Sunday lunch. Not eaten there during the week but our daughter sings it’s praises. Oh, yes, great choice of cask ales too. What is there not to like about the place!!! Dogs and kids welcome too. Great value for money.

First time at this pub with close freinds as it was dog friendly. Excellent service and lovely food. Bar and waiting staff naturally friendly and very helpful. Nice atmosphere. Will definately visit there again.

I reviewed this beautiful place a long time ago,,,,,but,,,… I think after today and the last few visits that I really have to comment yet again on this fantastic little place… The ambience is great, even to say it is dog friendly which is fab,,,, The food to be honest is Incredible,,, and I’ve been to many pubs/ restaurants,,,believe me,,, But most of all , the staff are impeccable , so great at what they do, and Ben is so welcoming,, This place is Fab,,,,,, Please go there,,,, See you soon,,,,,,,,,

Local pub with great food. Had Sunday lunch today which was excellent and great value for money. Staff friendly and very helpful.

This pub is a great pub for locals and visitors with many guest beers. Always guaranteed a good pint. Roll on next week when it opens again !

Staff are generally rude and order customers around in a militant fashion. They seem to resent having to serve their customers with many locals having already abandoned this pub. The current manager is rude, obnoxious, doesn’t engage with customers unless it’s to order them around...

Pleasant staff, great beer, quiet, relaxed atmosphere and very good food. I go here on a regular basis because I love it so much.

Always great. Eclectic mix of punters, crazy village cricket clubhouse meets an old bakery. Great range of beers and the best food in Mapperley. Took some friends with us and they loved it.

Booked a table for 7 people at 2.00 pm (that’s important) when we arrived a table wasn’t easy for us, this was quickly rectified. One of our party asked for a coffee at the bar to be told by a very put out looking member...

The food is great and big portions. Great for real ale and Gin drinker. Good choice of wine. Staff are great. They have kept the history of the place and combined it with a hipster vibe. They have so many clubs and societies there.

Been here several times, both in the evenings and during the day. I've always loved the food - until yesterday. I'd booked over the 'phone, got there in time, ordered straight away. The food took about an hour to arrive (we'd been told 40 minutes,...

Really like this pub , friendly staff , good range of drinks, good food and dog friendly. Definitely recommend.

Always delivers on good atmosphere comprising of a mature clientele, which facilitates young children and dog friendly got functionality spot on. Lovely bright traditional venue with friendly efficient staff always worth a re-visit. Cheers 🍻

What can I say but excellent definitely a 5* meal. Everything from start to finish was perfect, from being shown to our table to the choices. I chose the lamb which just fell apart it was tender, the vegetables were perfectly cooked and a wonderful...

Went for a few drinks on a Sunday afternoon. Really nice atmosphere and had some really yummy pub grub that was responsibly priced. First time at the pub and we will be back for sure :)

Was visiting sherwood Forrest & decided to look for somewhere for lunch & came across the bread & bitter on TA reviews were good so rang & booked a table. Very friendly pub with a good selection of beverages & added bonus we could take our fur baby in with us. I ordered the roast beef & my husband ordered the roast lamb meat was plentiful but found the beef lacked flavour & the roast potatoes were hard would have liked more vegetables as in bigger portion on the whole ok but wouldn’t rush back.

Good atmosphere and friendly team make this a great regular haunt. Often the same amount of dogs and people in here! The food is reliably good and caters for veggies and vegans. Need to book on sundays as it’s a popular place.

I love this pub and for a long time it was my local. It was spot on for great food, great beer and great atmosphere. I went yesterday with my husband for a quiet drink on a Saturday afternoon. Now i have no objection to kids being in pubs and used to utilise such pubs when my kids were smaller.

Castle Rock sabe cómo hacer un pub comunitario: una mezcla de buena cerveza, comida, actividades y espíritu. Este es un gran ejemplo.

Como visitante habitual del pub Castle Rock (ya que sirven a mi favorito Harvest Pale o Elsie Mo), pensamos que probaríamos Bread and Bitter para el almuerzo del domingo. A la llegada no estaba ocupado y conseguimos una mesa de inmediato. Otra pareja llegó al mismo tiempo que nosotros, así que teníamos una mesa junto a ellos. Pedimos la sopa para empezar (gran error) seguido de la cena de carne asada y la cena de pollo asado. El camarero tomó nuestra orden de bebidas de inmediato y fue a buscarlos como una camarera diferente tomó nuestra orden de comida. Las bebidas llegaron pronto pero tuvimos que esperar por la sopa. . y espera. . ¡y espera! . Los clientes que llegaron después de nosotros estaban recibiendo su entrante (incluida la sopa), pero ni rastro del nuestro. La mesa junto a nosotros que llegó al mismo tiempo ahora está a mitad de camino de sus comidas principales. Es hora de dar un suave codazo a la camarera que nos atendió. Aparentemente nuestra sopa aún no estaba lista.

Por lo general, visito el be & be una vez al mes para tomar una copa, ya que es un pub de Castle Rock. La calidad y variedad de las bebidas es siempre de alto nivel. Esta fue la primera vez que comí allí. El menú ofrece un menú sin gluten y un menú vegano además del menú regular. Mi grupo quería pescado y papas fritas veganas, pero desafortunadamente se habían agotado (era tarde un sábado tan comprensible, el personal fue servicial y nos dio tiempo para ordenar nuevamente) Como no soy vegana, comí una hamburguesa de carne que fue realmente agradable y tenía un bollo que no se rompió en tus manos dejándote con dedos carnosos. También tengo nachos veganos para compartir. Los nachos eran chips de tortilla adecuados y no de una bolsa y el queso vegano era en realidad bastante cursi.

Mi compañero y yo visitamos a menudo aquí, ya que este lugar tiene más de una bomba manual, siempre una nueva elección de cerveza en cada ocasión. Así que decidimos que este domingo seremos tan groseros al probar una muestra de comida allí, en nuestras muchas visitas siempre nos asaltamos con la comida de otras personas y, a menudo, mencionamos lo bueno que es mientras babean lentamente y comen su comida por ellas. Así que nos dirigimos a la orden. Ordené la tarta de champiñones con verduras frescas glaseadas y un pudín de Yorkshire del tamaño de mi cabeza, bueno, casi. Y mi compañero pidió el cordero asado con todos los adornos. Literalmente, con cada boca llena, habíamos hecho que nuestra cara brillara y que nuestras barrigas crecieran, ya que definitivamente no son tímidas con el tamaño de las porciones. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida con una sonrisa, un excelente personal, una cerveza increíble y una excelente comida, este lugar es imprescindible.

He estado unas cuantas veces, muy ocupado los domingos, pero encontramos una habitación en el bar y nos las arreglamos para pedir comida. El personal era amable y servicial, aunque claramente muy ocupado. Excelentes opciones para veganos y vegetarianos tanto para comida como para cerveza.

Visited the Bread & Bitter today with my OH and daughter after my son and I visited last week and had an enjoyable dinner.

We met some friends here for dinner. There were 6 of us, two vegetarians one of whom must have gluten free food, one pescatarian, one vegan and two meat eaters! There was something on the menu for everyone. There were lots of vegan choices but I opted for the vegan "fish" and chips which was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!

Over the years the food in this pub has gone downhill. I recently had lunch; ‘sausage caramelised Sherwood reserve onion sandwich, served on white bloomer bread and salad at £6.95’. This was actually really disappointing....the bread was sliced bread straight from a ‘processed loaf of bread’ (£1 at the most, you know the type I mean) call it what you like but it was no bloomer from a bakery and for some reason the sandwich was loaded with rocket leaves; not sure what the thinking was there but it certainly wasn’t advertised! That all said it also took 30 mins to arrive in a near empty pub and after it was served to the table nobody ever came and asked if all was ok. Don’t get me wrong it was edible but it be a while before I waste £6.95 on food in the B & B again ☹️

I have been coming to the b&b; for many years and always enjoyed their curry night, in fact, I always enjoyed all the food on offer. The quality of the food has noticeably declined in recent years, the menu never changes and they frequently sell out of popular meals such as fish and chips. The curry night used to be fantastic value for money, large portions with popadoms and 3 chutneys, bhajis and pakoras. Last night the chicken makhani was gone by 7:30 replaced by a disappointing chicken korma - with 5 small pieces of chicken in. Not value for money at all. No sides on offer, just popadoms with a very small pot of very chunky mango chutney.

Excellent Sunday roast, with consistent quality and quantity for under a tenner with seasonal veg. Staff are always friendly, and a good range of well priced beers.

Perfect, well done Chefs, fantastic Vegan Roast dinner, great waitress, great service, hot, delicious, happy days

We treated ourselves today to the vegan Sunday roast. It was delicious, the staff were friendly and could not have been more helpful. We asked for a vegan dessert as we could not see one on the list and one was made for us specially a lovely fruit sundae which involved the manager nipping next door to Sainsbury's for some vegan ice cream. Many thanks to him and the chef for taking this trouble. We will certainly return and would recommend this establishment.

Ospiti di amici inglesi residenti a Mapperley, prima periferia di Nottingham, andiamo a cena in questo pub da loro frequentato regolarmente.

This is a fab local pub with a good selection of real ale, cider and honest pub food. The highlight is the Sunday lunch which is delicious!

Me and my other half come here all the some sometimes bring the pup with us decent atmosphere and service. But over the past few times we have visited josh (an excellent bartender) has served us and made our experience perfect, he knows hospitality products and how to make customers welcome. This has made this establishment our local will definitely recommend.

Fancied something tasty to eat but didn't want a huge main meal so opted for the warm brunch brushcetta and wasn't disappointed. It was amazing - packed full of flavour, fresh ingredients and the eggs cooked to perfection. I would certainly recommend this dish to anyone.

Amazing food, friendly staff, great service, couldn’t ask for a better restaurant! Love coming here :)

Our son lives in north Nottingham and we seem to keep returning to the B&B; because it gets the basics right - good friendly atmosphere, good food and good drink (excellent cask ale with plenty of choice). It is snuck away down a drive just to the side of two other busy pubs (mainly youngsters and TV watchers from what I can make out.) The B&B; is usually quite busy but not overly so during the week so you can usually find a table. The menu is simple but quite varied - we had Beef Stefado (from the Specials board) and Carribean Chicken. Both very tasty and not too pricey either. If you are anywhere near Mapperley Top this Castle Rock pub is well worth a visit - highly recommended.

Really delish and while some food such as the amazing Caribbean curry. Always have good options for gluten free. Really great selection of beers. The breakfast is also really good and really tasty.

The selection of beers and ciders is second to none, and all are really well kept.

Really impressed by the seitan roast which even came with a delicious vegan Yorkshire pudding, in fact the only thing that would have made it better would have been to get two yorkies! Really friendly staff too.

I visited with my fiancé and parents today - and what a lovely lunch we had! Incredible seitan roast and even had vegan Yorkshire puddings! I was advised that stuffing should be available soon too! We drove forty minutes to come here for Sunday roast and it was well worth the drive. Also had a gorgeous chocolate mousse for pudding, reccomended by the friendly waitress. Some unfined cask ales would have made this perfect - but it was fab to see what was sfv was clearly labelled on the bar!

This ex-bakery, with the ovens still visible is a fantastic place to eat and drink. It is part of the award winning Castle Rock Brewery company.

Great place! Lovely food, staff very helpful. Would definitely recommend to others. Will be back soon without a doubt 😊

Thought we’d treat ourselves to lunch today at the Bread & Bitter.

Sorry to say that the bar staff let us down last night. Very unfriendly attitude from one in particular - he was not aware of who had been waiting longest and there were only two of us. He then responded to anything I said with "what?". General arrogance and indifference. When I asked for a bottle of white Rioja, he acted like this was a ridiculous request. I then asked to see the wine list and was handed a folder with mainly empty sleeves and a couple of sheets listing red and rose wines. I couldn't see anything that caught my eye and asked if the selection of wines had reduced recently. Similar indifferent response that the list had been the same for a long time. I gave up at this point and said I would wait for the person I was meeting and decide together then. She went to the bar and was handed the same wine list and she noticed that there were no white wines at all. Apparently this sheet was missing. We decided to have a glass rather than a bottle and then moved to the Plainsman where we had a bottle of French white wine and were served with a smile. Not difficult guys

Fabulous Sunday lunch at a great pub. As usual the selection of beer is very good and the service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

Popped in after work for dinner and a few drinks. Choose meals from the specials board and wasn’t disappointed. Beef stew and mushroom pasta both delicious, freshly cooked and presented beautifully. Can’t wait for the next visit! Thanks.

Popped in for lunch: great selection of beers and cider, but we needed Shiraz today, which was lovely; friendly service as always; great menu - we had the Nachos (veg) and the Sausages, decent portions, decent price / didn’t have to wait long - we will return again soon! Thankyou

Came here with my mother and ordered two breakfasts - Cost £12

Although the bar sells a good range of lagers, the bar area smells of dogs. They could at least use some air freshener to reduce the smell. Not very nice when you want something to eat.

Fantastic food, the presentation was brilliant so pleased will be coming back here was well worth the money!

This is how pubs should be !! We've been back a few times now and whether it be for breakfast, lunch, tea or a few pints of an evening, have always had great service, lovely food and a fantastic range of beers. Cant fault this place at all. Decent smoking area, the loos are clean and the staff are always friendly polite and seem all to really care about their customers. What a mix of punters. Suits, lycra clad cyclists, hipsters and dog owners all seem to rub along in harmony here. Look forward to returning soon.

Went here last night with a group of friends and we ended up staying there all night. Drinks and food...

Bread and Bitter is just one of the great Mapperley pubs that is starting to give West Bridgford a run for its money, especially in terms of clientele - much friendlier and down to earth. The food is really good home cooked stuff - pies and beer, what's not to love.

The Sunday roast is GREAT. Tender, well-cooked meat, a huge, home-made Yorkshire pudding, tasty stuffing ball, crispy roast potatoes, boiled, new potatoes, and a selection of vegetables, all with a delicious gravy. Not an "Aunt Bessie" product in sight! Fabulous!

This pub is awesome but they run a cycle club that the riders think its ok to sit for 4 hrs drinking 7 or 8 pints then get in their bikes and ride in the public highway. If this was a car driver people would be disgusted. Great pub ruined by inconsiderate pushbikers

Called in for Sunday dinner; I had the beef while my partner had the veggie dinner. Lovely presentation, great tasting food with very nice choice of veg. Friendly staff who deliver great service.

This pub has plenty of tables but it can get very busy.

Unfortunately we arrived a bit late for Sunday Dinner however the alternative option made up for it. The food here always good quality meeting all our expectations followed by a a great pint of real ale. Friendly catering staff, bonus points for recognising us from the last visit, thanks. Good to see a pet friendly pub too.

Not been for a few months, but still a great Castle Rock pub - great selection of beers at good prices, good service at the bar - as it's Wednesday - a bottle of Prosecco at £9.95 - can't fault it! Good food, so all in all a lovely evening, Thankyou!

A good place to meet on Mapperley for business catch ups or to go with family after shopping. The tiles create echo, making it a bit noisy. It has character and serves interesting beer. We failed to find any vegan food on the menue so have never been able to eat here.

Been to Mapperley top many times, and the great thing about it you have three lovely pubs next to each other,,,, and one of those is the bread and bitter,, set back away from the other two.Tried a quick drink here before and that was about it , but in the last couple of weeks on a Sunday tried this place for food ,,, I really only have one word to say about it , incredible!..Last week I tried the Sunday roast , beef, being served like something off master chef, beautifull,,, and this week I had one of the specials which was fish and chips,,, but done there way , presented so well and probably the best fish & chips I've had in a long time,, and I've tried Georges,, Lock Fyne,,, to mention a few,, very friendly staff, great choice of beers nice clean establishment, if you want a nice change get down here !!!!

Visited here on Sunday had chicken and lamb dishes which we fully enjoyed. The staff are really friendly and the pub has a contemporary feel to it with a plus bonus I would travel here just to try the ales !!!

I will put positives first, looked good inside and staff were initially friendly, it is dog friendly inside too. Ordered lunch for two, wasn't told it would be a 30 minute wait although it was quiet. My veggie sausage, mash and peas arrived , no apology for wait, looked great , but as soon as i caught the smell I knew it wasn't veggie and tbh putting down pig sausage in front of a lifelong veggie isn't very nice. My daughter's meal was good she said , but we couldn't wait for them to re-cook me veggie sausage and I didn't trust that they wouldn't just put them on to the same plate with the accompanying mash and peas as the staff hadn't seemed to realise how much of a serious issue it was for me. Staff member went to get my refund but then manager - I think ,came along and it all had to be explained again, as staff member said I needed a refund because of the wait which wasn't the whole story. No one actually said sorry. Would never go there again.

Nice pub on Mapperley Plains. Small car park, but on street parking available and some car parks nearby. A real ale pub, with plenty of choices. Dog friendly, however, some of the dogs weren't friendly!!! One guy literally lifting his aggressive small dog off the ground by its lead, which slipped the harness off and his friend had to jump on the dog to grab it, getting bitten on his hand in the process! This wasn't the only unfriendly pooch too!! I wish owners of these dogs would be considerate to other people, and other dogs!! If your dog is aggressive, don't bring it!!!!! Food was good and freshly cooked. Good quality. We both had the burgers. Only one criticism, too much chorizo in it that masked the flavours of the beef etc. Other than that. It was ok. Good, but not overly value for money, side of onion rings. Would visit again, but give the dogs a wider berth!!!

You are always guaranteed a warm welcome in this great Castle Rock pub. Knowledgeable staff,great atmosphere,great selection of local ales. There is always a good selection of food including a great Sunday lunch & the aromas from the kitchen draw u in. Proud of this amazing local

This pub is great food cooked lovely , we had fish and chips ,lamb dishes and chicken and wow there pie is big , you won't be disappointed oh and great ales you can't resist now !!!!!! And week days they have specials on as well .

We booked the wake of our grandad at the B&B and we were well looked after! The team were great and really caring.The food was fabulous and they gave us space to enjoy the gathering before approaching us to clear up etc.Would recommend the pub for an afternoon with your family or for booking an event

I was travelling on my own on business. The pub is tucked away in a side road. Really good home made pizza and nice wines. A lovely smiley waitress.

Went on two nights over the Easter weekend.have been before but a few years ago.What I like about this pub is it is a traditional old fashioned drinking establishment no airs and graces Massive choice of ales and lagers and food too.Very reasonably priced and a great atmosphere we had a great time.

Regular visitors of this castle rock local pub. Family and dog friendly. Great range of beers and ciders. Food served and tried previously but not on this visit.

Good pub with nice menu of pub classics and a few more interesting bits. Great beer. But the food took ages to come and they didn't seem that busy. Also the pizza was a bit on the well done side for my taste.

The Bread and Bitter had always had a good atmosphere, and serves nice beers, but their food has dropped in quality, if not standard. For £10 I got two medium sized sausages and a small square of dauphinoise potato, plus a few steamed vegetables. Oh, we also waited an hour for the pleasure of having it. So, good place for a drink, don't buy any food...

We decided to venture out for a mid evening meal, specifically selecting this venue. I liked the appropriate lighting and tranquil atmosphere, greeted with a pleasant smile from the bar personnel. She provided excellent customer care with good knowledge of the real ales and products from the food menu. Good value for money for a curry night promotion, the food was excellent, partner liked the sausage dauphinois and thanks for spicing up the beef madras for me, a great touch to good customer service. Cheers !!

Myself and friend went here for lunch today and the food was excellent. The staff are very friendly and are pleased to serve you. I had the Beef Stew which was really tasty and the meat was really tender. The veg were well cooked and seasoned for flavour. The chef makes a real effort here - my friend had the Caribbean Chicken which she enjoyed as well. I think the quality of the food here surpasses the high standards that you get in the other local Castle Rock pubs in Nottingham. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning here.

We arrived pretty late in the afternoon for a Sunday roast. However options were available. My girlfriend had braised chicken and I went for the braised lamb. Both meals were superb. We found the meats were tender and succulent pan fried veg,roast potatoes and jus were excellent. Bar service was welcoming perfect after a Sunday afternoon walk. Will definitely recommend and return. Thank you very much.

As always, made to feel welcome when we arrived.Good choice of beers and lagers, offered tasters when not sure which to go for.Also do a taster tray if you can't decide.Allow dogs in the bar area but not in the food area.Also hear they do a beer festival which is meant to be good!

Visited this very busy Pub for Drinks before an evening Meal elsewhere. Great selection of Ales, friendly Staff, and a dog friendly Pub, there were at least half a dozen there when we visited around 6pm, great, wish I didn't live 80 miles away.

Great set of new beers in to sample last night while reviewing small business strategies! Recommend the belter beer!

Been here once before and we were really surprised at how good the food was on the day so we thought we would try it again but unfortunately it was a bit of a let down. I ordered the gammon cooked in cider with poached eggs ,pineapple and homemade chips. When it arrived it was 3 thin slices of cold ham. It looked pretty as a picture,, I was expecting gammon steak , I got cold ham so it was a let down, especially as the ham was no better than the local deli.my wife had the fish and chips but we both said it was no where as good as the first time we visited. Good range of beers though and dog friendly. Staff are pleasant.

Been using BB since it opened. Lately things have changed and not for the better. Menu not good and the size of potions is very small , 6 chips what's that all about. . We are going for a meal Xmas eve afternoon our family tredition, hopefully we will be happy with it if not our feet will do the walking it will be our last vist. Such a shame been a great pub and good ales. Also the waitress had long hair that she kept messing with rather off putting.

Got the Ales selection as a Castle Rock, but just a very standard place. One of those places you wake up, and if you only remember a few bars from the night before, here isn't one of them. It's okay don't get me wrong, but it's not great.

Visited here after local bonfire night wouldnt allow anymore people in??!!???!! Excellent choice of local and countrywide ales/beers/lagers. Proper pub style interior, lots of places to sit, easy to get served. I would highly recommend this pub if your an ale drinker or 30+ years of age. You might easily miss it though as its tucked down the side of The Woodthorpe Top.

I met friends in the bread and bitter, we was all cold and sat with scarves on. The lady opposite actually wearing her coat. Normally love this pub great bar staff and customers. Maybe a log burner or heating required
