Cooper's Brook in Gedling

This family dining pub has been refurbished and has lots of nice new touches which give it a more modern feel than previously, although some of the same tables and chairs inside were still in use, which we know from coming over the years have been there for a very long time. The place is easy to find on the main road with plenty of parking and outside seating. We pre-booked a table in the main dining area but unfirtunately had quite a wait once sat down as our waitress forgot to bring us any menus. Also service got confused when we were served by two different waitresses at one point. Food was cooked well but not presented particularly nicely on the plates. One of our party of four had steak which came with chips and one small mushroom - there was no colour, e.g. peas or tomato. We were asked if our food was all right when it came to paying and said we were a little disappointed but it didn't register at all with our waitress who just carried on chatting and took our payment. We weren't wishing to make a fuss so just left it. In summary: the place has been smartened up and its kerb appeal is much improved. Serving staff were polite but not totally on the ball (hopefully just an off day); food was ok - several menu options made choice confusing so suggest simplifying; for the prices I'd expect a little more attention to presentation. Note - table service has replaced the previous order and pay at the bar which we preferred. We have put this experience down to 'teething issues' after rebranding and reopening not long before our visit and will try again and will hopefully be able to improve the rating at next visit.

Good food. Quick service. Reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Great food and staff catering for 25 of us without an itch 👍

Called in today had the spicy burger! Deffo recommend could of had more hot sauce but that's jus me lol. Thanks team a+

This is a wonderful location for hosting work meetings.

You really can't beat the price at £12 for a beer and a burger.

Good wholesome food in a pleasant pub restaurant. Good food friendly service. I would recommend to any one

A warm welcome followed by friendly service with a human touch, and excellent food. Compliments to the chef! I would visit again for sure.

Although great pub on the night we were there service was atrocious. It seemed one barman was new and learning on the job and was just left to it. To be fair coukd have just been one of those nights.

Great service, attentive and efficient. Good quality food, didn’t wait long between ordering and food being brought to the table. Definitely recommend.

Pop in after a long driving journey and me and my wife couldn’t be more impressed. Very welcoming, made us feel as comfortable as possible. Service was fantastic and the food was perfect, presentation and flavour. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Friendly staff, good food, good price.

Firstly I would like to say a massive thank you to Chloe and the team for your hospitality. We recently used the function room to host an 8th birthday party and I can honestly say the service was second to none... from the start the welcome and the support we recieved was fantastic.... The function room is a fantastic space, we held for 35 people in total and there was plenty of space to dance and also seat each person (we did a mocktail amd canvas theme painting party) the room is decorated in neutral colours so is great to decorate for your own theme, there are various sized tables available for seating in which the team discuss how you would like the room set and and have it ready for your arrival.. The food... with it being a kids party I had a meeting with chloe where she listened to my requirements and she came up with some great alternatives to cater for the kids and also the adults and the food went down a treat, everyone was commenting on how tasty it was and the selection was fantastic... there was 1 unforseen issue but Chloe immediately called me and resolved the matter. Setting up for the party Chloe and her team supported us with ideas and created a mocktail station for the kids drinks which they absolutely loved ... we were given the option to have a team member man the bar for us which was also a great touch. I genuinely felt we were looked after from the very start and would definately use this venue again for another function... We will be coming back for food too as the buffet provided was 10/10 so can only imagine that the main menu would be just as fantastic... Again thank you Coopers brook team you are all stars!! I would definately recommend this venue for your function/event/meeting.. (and I am a fussy one with very high expectations) <---- these expectations were absolutely met and exceeded!

1st time here as we don't live near the city of Nottingham...Had a lovely meal & dink which was served quickly by Kieghley who was very freindly & helpfull..Would recommend..

The food was good, but not particularly special. However, the service was great and we enjoyed the venue.

Nice Greene King pub, food ok service not bad.

The atmosphere is inviting the food is fantastic and the staff is helpful and kind

Absolutely fantastic. Breakfast was lovely.

Amazing service and polite staff lovely place to go for a drink and food

Was alright only had a drink seemed to be ok

Went for a birthday meal with my sons. The food was excellent and the girl serving us was lovely and friendly. Would defo recommend it, and we will absolutely be going back again!

Went to buffet for my great nieces dedication omg the food selection and friendly service was amazing highly recommended

Holly was a great server. Our food was very tasty and served hot. Good veriety

Polite staff, food wasn’t amazing but was satisfactory in the taste, but what I ordered was the ULTIMATE GRILL PLATTER for £21, disappointed in the amount of food received, I presume the chef is told how much to put on the plate, I think it should be reviewed before more customers are disappointed too.

Lovely food menu, massive garden, We ate outside and the weather was perfect.

Been here about 3 or 4 times now and everytime really enjoyed it. great food , brilliant service , lovely atmosphere. Will be back again soon 😀

The nashville beyond burger was easily the best vegetarian burger I’ve ever had! Service was great and fast, all polite, one gentleman put the ramp out so I could get my grandma in a wheelchair up the steps. Will definitely be back

Excellent food service and atmosphere couldn't ask anything more of a pub lunch.

We went here yesterday, walked up to the empty bar where two staff members walked past and said someone will be with you in a minute, 5 minutes later we got served. We orded two snacks one came out and 5 minutes later had to ask where the other one were, as I got to the bottom of my chips I found a pea in the dish, ( not sure if they fry peas). I took it to the bar and asked the waitress if she could explain why this was, the reply was it must have got there by accident. Shocking answer and service.

Food was truly dreadful. The nastiest, slimiest piece of fish I've very eaten. A few chips and some nasty peas. Even the tartar sauce was horrible.

We had to wait like 10. Min the food made me so full i didnt want to eat for the rest of the day

Pleasant, friendly service, giid food, good selection

Breakfast, very good! Service brilliant, friendly staff.

Very basic food is a bit overpriced for what you get. The staff are nice but there is no parking whatsoever at all very strange

Stopped off here for a quick drink to catch up with friends. Service was really quick, no queue at bar and was able to redeem and offer for a free Pimm's which was excellent and refreshing. Great selection of beers at the bar. Plenty of seating outside as well. Large car park shared with the Premier Inn Hotel.

Holly was very helpful and polite

Lovely friendly place, great food nd separate area for dog owners

We have just been for sunday lunch for farthers day,i had the sunday carvery,two words,absolutely discusting.

Good food, reasonably priced, clean environment. Friendly staff and great service. Would go again and would recommend it. Lime and soda is too expensive.

Food cold in fact some of the frys were still frozen the burger was warm ish in the middle but also cold if any thing the colsaw was warmer The staff were good how ever it wasn't even busy Would we go back.....Nope Shame really

Great Place to eat, we dined here 3 nights ! Not an extensive menu but everything we ate was of great quality. It was our intention to only come for one night but after the service we received from waitress Holly we came back for 3 ! She had time to make us feel very welcome in an extremely busy service. If you are stopping local its worth a nip in. Good selection of beers, and the bar and restaurant are decorated to a high quality.

Full Mark's from me nothing to complain about Well Done 👏

Great pub with good food served all day , friendly staff

If your going to charge these prices then provide the quality as well.

Another great visit. Food was excellent

Very good to have birthday party dinners fabulous puddings staff make u feel very welcome if u haven't tried this place please do excellent service

It would have been 5 stars and 5 stars for service, but was let down at the end by taking so long to come back to us after taking the plates to ask if we wanted deserts or to pay that it let it all down. Other than that the food was great, they need to change from coke to pepsi though as coke zero is no match to pepsi max.

Amazing staff and even helped out with a discount card I had ..service super quick food hot and tasty would recommend and will deff go there again when we visit arnold

After being turned away from one pub we visited coopers brook on spec. We were very pleasantly surprised. They catered so well for my disability and couldn't do enough to help me without being patronising or over the top. I had my assistance dog with me and they accepted him without questioning his presence, unlike the previous pub. For this I'm so grateful. The food was good, it came in good time and altogether. Would recommend and would return.

I came here with family, and we couldn't fault the service or the selection, and I will definitely be coming back.

Fair place to eat. Food was okay, not spectacular really.

My husband and I visited here for my birthday meal. We booked the table online (very easy)for 7 pm on Saturday 30th March and when we arrived we were taken straight to our table. Our food came out in a timely manner and couldn't fault it at all. The staff were attentive and efficient through out our visit I would recommend here to friends and family

Very nice lovely meals,went out of there way to make feel like home

Lovely food and reasonably priced. It's definitely worth a visit

Lovely catch up with friends, lovely sized portions and friendly atmosphere

Always nice food here.And don't wait long to be served.

Nice food good staff pleasant atmosphere all round a nice place to eat

Good service and food was nice, wasn't particularly busy though

Lovely staff. Everyone we came into contact with was pleasant and friendly. It's pub grub. You get what is on the tin. But it was fresh and hot and the presentation was very good. The service for both food and drink was efficient and timely. The public area's were clean and well presented and the toilets plentiful and clean. Helpful and informative staff.

Good food quick service staff friendly

My wife and I went on the 13th Feb for a meal while we were in notts. I've been before and we enjoyed it again. Good food and the staff were friendly and welcoming, made us feel like they valued our custom. Will definitely return.

We have been a few times and it's really good for food and drink with very good helpful staff

Waited at the reception desk and was greeted by friendly staff, shown to a table, shortly after they came and took our order, food arrived, it was hot and delicious. Service was Great.

Fantastic well priced food, service was great, recommend this pub

Excellent service from Dawn and nula (apologies if I spelt this wrong) Very fast and efficient, food was delicious and the staff cannot do enough for you. Will definitely be back.

Lovely service Fantastic menu Nice staff

The coopers Brook is one of the best places for food, staff and atmosphere. I had the tomahawk steak and it is to die for, as well for the rack of ribs. Lovely staff. Lovely place. Would recommend.

Lovely time would totally recommend was great very pretty with the lights

Lovely staff and they accompanied to my need for plain food lovely as always see you guys soon

Restaurant was virtually empty must of been 18 people present. We waited 20 minutes for drinks and to place an order. We had to go to the bar to see where the drinks were, we waited a further 35 minutes before the dreaded happening, cold food was coming out as we were just leaving. We stated the food was cold and no apology was forthcoming. On this we departed as did a party of 10 ladies who were waiting to place desert orders. Sorry won’t be returning in the near future. Lack of staff, We could have helped ourselves to drinks at anytime as the bar was unsupervised. The main reason for the visit today was to book the function room for Boxing Day, not now. We have been here numerous times and this must be the worst of our visits.

Excellent food at a reasonable price.

Excellent service and Alesha and other staff. Well done xxx

i stayed at premier inn next door so went for a dinner here for quite few nights. service was always great, all ladies polite and accommodating. foods that are ordered were good and decent pub i must say!

Lovely pub, only had a drink but very friendly staff and comfortable inside.

I had the feta ciabatta and wow what a dish lovely perfect for me because I’m a vegetarian I will definitely be coming back to see the amazing staff again!

We didn't eat so I cant comment on the food. But the barmaid was rude and very ignorant. Left my drink where she poured it, gave me a single gin and charged for a double and denied when I politely asked for a double. Asked me what I was staring at. So rude. Poker faced and so unwelcoming

Excellent service think the waitress magical very pleasant made you feel good.

Great place for a drink. Great food great staff. Family friendly place.

Great staff lovely food. Would definitely come again

Food was so so, I had the mixed grill, stake was char and undercooked to what I asked for, I'll be honest too much food, they could cut the chicken portion in half and you wouldn't miss it, chicken was bland. Partner and a parent has seafood mix, and both said prawns where undercooked and fish bland. General atmosphere was quiet, only a few dinners for 12noon on a Sunday. Old dry chip on the floor under the table showed they hadn't cleaned the floor very well. Otherwise tables and general where tidy. Staff friendly and polite. Speed of delivery was good.

Amazing place to eat lovely staff and outgoing as Stacy and Chloe went out of way for our needs xx

Lovely food- the steaks were divine and drinks equally as nice. The staff are amazing and attentive, Chloe, Jaymi and Keleigh were so nice and overall made the visit a great experience!!! Will definitely visit more often.

Bang goes the diet lol....steak and chips followed by apple pie and custard. Take away.....Delicious 😋 would definitely recommend The Coopers Brook. Staff are very friendly.

Very nice quite Saturday night as it was bank holiday. Food was good and staf friendly and helpful 👍👍

We had a lovely lunch and the staff and the food were swift to please. Thanks

Here for a special lunch. Food was great as usual. Had quite a wait between courses but that wasn't a problem. We were there to spend time with family not fast food!

A Greene king pub/restaurant, have seen reviews indicating meals to be good but when I visited the meals were ok and the prices were a little high for the quality given. Other Greene king pubs are cheaper and quality as good if not better. All in all a pleasant venue.

Lovely place to eat and drink with an amazing family atmosphere. We eat here quite often and have never been disappointed. They always go above and beyond for christmas/halloween ect for the kids. The staff cannot do enough for you.

Lovely pub great staff love that fran and and rest of them

Been coming here for the last 3 years. Always friendly members of staff. Great value for money.

Lovely pub Great staff the brunch menu is amazing love the pancakes !!

Been to coopers brooke quite a few times nothing is to much for the staff ! especially keighley chloe and nula they treat our family and friends with upmost respect and cater for all our needs very quickly. Food is excellent nice clean and cooked to perfection! looking forward to when the garden is done many more memories to be made. Keep up the goid work and thankyou xx

Lovely pub great staff they couldn't do more for you honestly such a lovely pub

Not the best staff good but food could be better

Lovely pub great atmosphere and the staff are lovely thank you for having us

Every time I have gone for a family meal the staff and food have been great.

I come here weekly with my mates for a little get together and couldn't ask for more from a pub Staff are lovely. And the pub is always spotless I'll be back next week guys Thank you for accommodating us

Lovely meal, food was beautiful. Food came in a timely manner and staff were great. Managed to book a table for 6 last minute which we were thankful for on a Friday teatime. Lively to pop in for a drink too and sit in the beer garden with the kids.

Only stopped for a quick break, so hubby could have a drink. Nice pub.

It was a 10out of 10 experience and shout out to eat with Chloe was lovely it was amazing definitely come again
