Cock & Hoop in Nottingham

Called in for a drink late on, we were served by Tia (apologies if name wrong!) who was very chatty and good fun. Great staff make great bars. See you again soon

Small selection of ales available but well decorated with quirky style decor ,male toilets out of action and smell lingering .

Bar staff full of attitude and as bad as the smell of foul drains inside. Embarrassing lunchtime food £10 sandwich, fries and drink deal sounded good value but very poor quality, cheap ingredients...and they managed to mess up ours and two adjoining table's orders.

I recently dined at Cock & Hoop, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The service was subpar—our server seemed inattentive, and it took a long time to address even basic requests. When the food finally arrived, both my order and my friend’s were incorrect, and the quality was underwhelming. For the prices, we expected much better. I wouldn’t recommend it based on this experience.

First visit afternoon tea very enjoyable well presented will go again Carl very welcoming and christina the chef made our day special thank you Christine and David

Great wee spot, good beers, quiet bar, nice atmosphere, great staff couldn't stay away

Always have a good real ale selection. Friendly service. Lovely part of the Lace Market. Comfy and inviting inside. Need to try their food.

Excellent selection of local and from further afield cask beers always in top condition. They do some decent drinks deals too depending what time you arrive.

Always a place we visit in Nottingham Good selection of beers Especially on the dark side

Traditional pub with great service

A great atmosphere and service by the staff there! Joe and wictoria were very friendly and have great welcoming smiles. Pizzas were excellent! 5 stars

A little bit difficult to negotiate using a wheelchair, that said the staff are very helpful and friendly. Good selection of beers and a very nice pub.

Cosy pub serving excellent ales at a reasonable price by staff who know their trade. A bar area with adjacent rooms for drinking or dining. A very relaxed atmosphere and a great starting point when planning a trip to Nottingham to visit the decent pubs. They put on events such as quiz nights. The pub is about a ten minute walk from the railway/ tram station opposite the national justice museum.

Good ale. Looks like they have new guests drinks quite regularly.

Nice cosy pub, but the bar area is a bit small for serving meaning the customers have to form a queue putting people off getting in, but once you've get served it's a great place to relax and enjoy your drink. It's dog friendly but couldn't found a drinking station or any treats for mine.

I have been a customer for 20 years. Here and at the hotel. Today I was refused food service despite everyone around me eating having bought a round of drinks already. Unacceptable that food was advertised outside and menus on the table. Will not come back. Real shame.

I was brought afternoon tea with prosecco for two for my 50th this year. All I can say is it is fabulous! Carl served us and was a lovely, friendly chap. We had top up's of prosecco and tea and coffee without having to ask. The food was fresh and very nice. I also went to Harts restaurant for afternoon tea recently and it was terrible. Dry bread, awful fillings. Would not go back there. But Cock and Hoop was totally different, everything was fresh and the scones were still warm. The chef Andreea came to see us as well to see if she could improve on things but we assured her everything was good as it was. The mini merengue was the best. Will definitely return.

A Really friendly pub with a great atmosphere

Lovely, traditional pub in the heart of Nottingham. Great selection of beers and gin. Service is always excellent. 👌

Awesome pub/hotel/ restaurant, great choice of craft beers and some real ales & cider, didn't have food but it looked fab. Super friendly staff. Drinks were a very reasonable price

Very much enjoyed being here for an event. The beer was excellent and tasted fresh. Staff were friendly and polite. Highly recommend.

Went here for Mother’s Day sparkling afternoon tea and it was absolutely fantastic. The older gentleman - I didn’t get his name was so lovely, chirpy and attentive, aswell as the other staff. We were so pleasantly surprised to get 2 glasses each of Prosecco and proper machine coffee of our choice! The food was great and an extra gift of champagne truffles just topped off a perfect experience. Would 1000% return.

First time at this pub, visited as it has proper cider, Pilot Ascension awesome

We stopped off at the Cock & Hoop whilst ambling through Nottingham and I'm delighted we did. This is a traditional, almost old fashioned, Ale House in the heart of the Lace Market area of the city. Mercifully unencumbered by the need to appeal to students, this pub offers a calming break from the hustle of the city. There are warm open fires and, even though music is played, a quiet relaxing atmosphere. The first thing that strikes you is that it is quite dark inside due to the hue of the panneling in the relatively small rooms. This, however, is a positive - at least in my mind. I had a Steeplechase beer and, whilst the young man who served me looked like he would rather be quite literally anywhere else, it was an enjoyable drink and I felt much better for my stop off at this pub. If my memory serves me correctly (which it seldom does) this place used to have portraits of former Kings and Queens of England along the wall in the main corridor to the toilets and other staff rooms. They appear to have taken these down, and that is a shame. All in all though - a great place to visit to escape general Nottingham life.

Really homely pub, interesting layout of rooms. Quaint decor, nice beers. Definitely not 21st century, which was lovely. Some settees and comfy chairs. Well worth a visit.

What can I say, PROBABLY THE BEST HIDDEN GEM IN NOTTINGHAM!!! We just called in on the off chance while doing a Nottingham themed mystery adventure, the food and drink was superb value and the Beer selection equally amazing real value for money Dogs welcomed, the owners really need to give their staff some support and more staff to help really busy Saturday nights,

For a pub in the grimey ghetto of Nottingham; this place is rather nice! Good beers, nice decor and a fire! (Tho gas not wood...) Felt almost countryesque

Called in this establishment for a lunch time drink and bar meal. Started off very well nice flaming gas fire gave a nice cosy welcoming feeling to the place. There were menus on all the tables, we perused the menu and made our choice. On going to the bar to order I was dismayed to be told that they were not serving bar meals that day, Sunday. The place then became packed and very noisey with a crowd of people waiting to be seated in the restaurant for Sunday lunch. It wouldn't have killed them to make the sandwiches that were in the menu for us. All in all not a pleasant visit to the Cock and Hoop, they didn't jump through the Hoop to give us very good customer satisfaction.

Love this quirky old style pub, with a modern twist. I love that it's small, homely and inviting. Great choices of gin, whiskey & beer. They even do food, but I've not tried any yet. I'm sure it'll be fab, just like the gem of a place this is!

Another favourite of mine, a nice cosy place to relax in, friendly staff and a good range of beers too. I did not try the food but noticed there was a choice of veggie options.

No Sunday Lunch on for my visit, but the food I had was excellent. Nice drinks selection too.

We came here, on the recommendation of a friend from Manchester, who stayed at the hotel next door when we were looking for an "authentic" British pub. They have a variety of local ales and beers on tap and a nice menu with some pizzas, pies, and sandwiches. The food was fresh and tasty and we sampled a few half-pints of local ales.

This was recommended to us as an "authentic" British pub but some friends from Manchester who were staying next door. They have a variety of local cask ales and kegs on tap and a minimalist menu. They pour half and full pints and have some nice pricing with sandwhich or pizza combos. We had sandwiches which were fresh and tasty. The staff were friendly too. The pub is divided up into a couple of small rooms for nice atmosphere too. Could probably seat maximum 25 people on the pub level. There is also a tea room downstairs we did not visit.

Quirky yet very cosy décor. Warm and friendly service. Great lunchtime offers with a selection of veggie choices not just one. Excellent choice of cask and keg ales, with local and festive ones too. It's a firm favourite for us.

Really a disappointment what’s become of this pub. The food and beer selection used to be among the best in the centre. When we arrived this week for our regular after work drinks, we were told that the kitchen was closed at 4pm, and there were only pizzas available. When we ordered pizza, there was only one left! Given we were a dozen, that wasn’t going to be enough, so we asked if we could order pizzas in. We were told no, only food from their bar… of which there was none! It’s a shame, as we would’ve happily spent the whole evening there - and frequent it with our group semi-regularly. But, due to lack of *any* food available, and the hostility towards our bringing something in, we just went elsewhere. Let me know when the kitchen is sorted - I won’t be back otherwise.

Při čekání na prohlídku Cave jsme si zašli zkusit pivo sem. Byli jsme jen v místnosti s barem, které působilo příjemně a v pracovní den zde bylo místo. Dostali jsme opět ochutnat místní piva, vybrali si dva druhy a pak už jen vychutnali společně s atmosférou. Zkušený místní ost nám udělá prohlídku po objektu, který ač se zvenku zdá menší, je zajímavě členitý a, rozlehlý.

Busy but worth a visit .... staff helpful

Can't comment on food but good range of beers and 20% off before 7 on a Friday

A delightful afternoon tea. Great food excellent service and a nice relaxed atmosphere 👍

we spent a lovely evening here, there was a great atmosphere and the staff ( micheal and tommy) were very friendly and efficient. we will definitely be returning.

Excellent bar attached to the Lace Market Hotel. First class friendly efficient service (Niall), great value drinks and a nice atmosphere.

One of the bests afternoon tea you can have in Nottingham! Ambient is cosy, customer service is superb, everyone working there is friendly and helpful. And the afternoon tea is incredible! Suitable for vegetarian and vegans (and it’s as good as a regular afternoon tea). Last time, the chef Cristina came to talk to us, asking for our opinion . Thoughtful service! She also mentioned that I can personalise my afternoon tea if desired, something that I’m definitely doing next time :) really good for price, including a Prosecco glass! Strongly recommended!

Lovely old pub with a great selection of beer and a half decent Sunday Roast. Very cosy atmosphere with lots of little rooms and places to sit.

Staff require training in manners and bar etiquette. I asked for a glass of Leffee beer When the staff member selected a pint I glass I informed him asked for a glass. His reply was to “they all come in glasses”. Rude, and arrogant, requires trading in customer service. And suggest he learns his product and how it should be properly served. His colleague was no better.

Красивый интерьер - забавные подносы с животными в костюмах. Быстрое обслуживание. Местная кухня, все вполне вкусно.

Traditional pub in the lace market area of Nottingham. Weekly offers and friendly staff. Quieter than other pubs in the area, good choice of drinks.

Carl made our experience incredible. We had a lovely afternoon tea. The food was delicious. Service was fast. Carl was very chatty, gave us a tour of the hotel and showed us the door where all the stars who have stayed have signed. The surroundings were luxurious yet comfortable and homely. We felt spoiled. We will be back

Great little find for food and drinks.

They finally got some tables outside and we had a nice negrone cocktail in the late afternoon sunshine...

We just happened upon this bar. Which is quite quirky and has different ales ,lagers and ciders from most of the other pubs. Prices were about average for a Saturday in town. Staff were reasonably friendly and efficient.

Home made pies made on the premises and the beef pie with mashed potato and kale is very good indeed.

Fantastic,warm welcome and service. Had the lunch deal of a sandwich, fries or chips and drink for £10 and was wonderful standard and value. Venue was extremely clean and beautifully decorated.

Great pub, like a labyrinth inside and the outdoor areas are great. Very European feel to the terrace and enclosed garden space. Food was very nice - Sunday lunch for £15. Only critique would be for thicker gravy but that’s only my preference! We were well looked after by the staff

This is a really civilised little pub with some nice ales and whiskies, also bar snacks. View out front is lovely also (see photo)

Pub très sympa ! Nous y avons pris un verre dans un cadre feutré. Service très aimable et sympa. A recommander +++

Fantastic pub, good staff, good selection of beers and lovely cocktails.

Dies ist kein Restaurant sondern ein Pub, der neben ordentlichen Bieren auch ordentliche Gerichte anbietet. Der Service ist flink und die Preise OK.

Great beer miserable service. Still worth a visit if you like your ales. Wouldn’t eat there again. 3 stars as ale so good.

It's quite a while since we'd been to the Cock and Hoop so 4 of us decided to meet there for Sunday lunch to check it out and we weren't disappointed! Our hosts Carl and Hannah could not have been more welcoming or more efficient. We enjoyed a few beers and a bottle of an excellent white Rioja while the food - 2 roast beef, 1 roast pork and a fish'n'chips - went down extremely well. Those that had puds were most complimentary about them and the coffees were equally good. All the while Carl and Hannah made sure everything was OK and that we had everything we wanted without being in any way over-bearing. If there is a slight criticism it is that the Sunday lunch menu is limited for non-meat eaters, but our pescatarian pronounced herself happy with the fish. Well done all, we will be back.

Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff. The food was good to

This was the first time I had stayed in this place, my wife and I were up for my daughters graduation. This place was welcoming and had great ales,which I tried several. The Room was well decorated and equipped.

Cellar restaurant very 70s decor and service. The meat dishes of trad nature were well received. The vegan dish consisted of over salted polenta with slices of beetroot..been better off with chips.

We had afternoon tea it was ok somethings tasted cheap.

Last minute choice but was very nice for a family dinner.

Food was a little sparse, but the place is nice and it's dog friendly and i like that.

We didn't eat here just popped in for very good beer 😋

Just had Sunday dinner there absolutely delicious,couldn't fault it,felt really relaxed and made to feel welcome there,definitely would recommend this place😎

Good food and a really decent pint! It has such an awesome, calm vibe, too! You can tell a lot about a place when you order a Guinness, and the bar tender not only knows how to pour it properly but also completes it with a perfect Shamrock! Ace! A staunch favourite place to visit if looking for a chilled environment with an easygoing atmosphere and pleasant punters.

Excellent value for money, food delicious, service brilliant

Nice bar in trendy area. Real ale and craft beers plus regular tipples. Small bar area leading to 2 eating areas with smart outside seating area. Well worth a visit

Good choice of beers here for a small place, nice place to go if you're after somewhere a bit quieter compared to the usual Notts pub. Be sure to check out the pizza with your pint too

They have really good, special local beers at a great price of 4£/pt! Food isn't that tasty. Extremely friendly stuff, it was a great stay.

Beautifully comfortable. Very friendly with a good choice of quality beers.

£2.50 a pint for local beers and craft ales all day on a Monday. What's not to like?

I gave this 5 stars a year ago and revisited yesterday. My rating stays the same as the beers are well kept and an extremely good price considering its location There is also a selection of craft on tap and a fridge full of more choice of cans and bottles. Although I am yet to eat here yet, the food menu looks excellent.

My partner took me here for afternoon tea as it was my birthday 🎂 and it didn't disapoint at all,it's quite fab inside and the food was lovely, staff were great and they also do other meals as well,quite a few different beers and wines on offer so all good so will definitely go back

Sunday roast was good, but we asked for medium rare beef, but it came cooked. Dessert was so good! Overall, everything was great. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Would come back.

Lovely pub, nice atmosphere. Pleasant bar staff.

Food was good but service was incredibly slow. It was about a 2 hour lunch

Had a great night here recently

Nice spot. Quiet and small. I had the fish and chips which were very good. Linen napkins, very posh. 👍

Decent selection of beer on tap, a huge range of craft ale tins in the fridge that can be browsed easily and £3 pints 4-7pm - oh and the food is decent too

Visited Saturday 4th March 2023, late afternoon. First time visiting and I'm quite impressed, it has a very upmarket feel to it; however, it isn't pretentious. We didn't eat but it seems that the food is excellent. Drinks wise it has an excellent selection with a great selection of cask and keg from the likes of Bang the Elephant, Pentrich etc alongside ciders, lager, spirits and soft drinks. Decor is warm and cosy with comfortable seating. Staff are friendly and approachable but very smart looking at professional. Check out their beer menu on Untapped.

Lovely bar, excellent staff & great atmosphere 😀

Sunday lunch is probably the best in Nottingham. The cask beer is always in excellent condition and a great range with 5 always available. Lovely, comfortable environment and friendly efficient staff.

Had Sunday dinner today which was 10 out 10, along with the beer range which always includes a black beer this is the best place within the city centre for a Sunday Roast

So impressed with this place. Visited for afternoon tea yesterday afternoon, a Saturday in February 2023. After a really dreadful afternoon tea experience with the same friend at a completely unrelated place in the midlands in December, we really didn't know how this one would go . . . but the whole experience was wonderful. The welcome was efficient and incredibly friendly. The staff knew exactly what we had ordered - a gluten free tea, and a vegetarian tea. When the tea was delivered the amazing waiter went to great lengths to pass on a message from the chef to my gluten free friend that it had all been prepared separately for her, the tray wiped clean etc - which was a truly lovely, and reassuring touch, very professional. The lunch was tasty, with a good selection of sweet treats. The prosecco was light and pleasant. We were checked on so many times, to make sure we didn't want - or need - anything else. It was perfect. The atmosphere was that of a friendly local, clean and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely experience. Oh yes, and the prices were very favourable too.

Great little pub that's part of the Lace Market hotel. Good range of beers both on tap and in a fridge that's in a side corridor. Friendly and knowledgeable staff add to experience. They also do hot food and snacks. They have Leffe blonde on tap which is a definite plus. Would recommend

Good beers, cozy venue. Decent prices for a city centre pub

Very small bar area so bit of a wait ,ladies will have cocktails.

Lovely pub with a decent selection of beers. Excellent atmosphere and very friendly staff members.

Great drinks & just out of the way you don't get bothered by stags & hens!

Great selection of ales. Pleasant place to have a drink

My uncle transferred a complimentary meal for two to my sister and I at this restaurant. I must say the experience was excellent from start to finish. From the email confirmation from the GM to my sister to the welcoming and informed staff on our arrival to the good quality and tasty food we enjoyed. My only issue was that my sister’s uber was a minute away and I paid the bill at the bar as we ordered cocktails and completely forgot to leave a tip at the table. I will definitely be back and will rectify that and would highly recommend. 10/10

Lovely pub very friendly staff good beer selection

Great staff beautiful place 👌 ❤️

Cheap food and drink friendly service.

We had afternoon tea here. We informed them in advance that I am diabetic and that did a lovely sugar free version. The chef came out to speak to everyone which was nice and the waiter and waitress were very helpful and polite. Couldn't fault it.

Never been before but was well worth it, home cooked food and very reasonablely priced

Really nice Sunday lunch, good value for money. Comfortable and chilled out atmosphere. Good for families with older kids, would be fine to dine alone too.
