Copper City in Nottingham

Interesting menu and friendly efficient service.

Dined here before show at concert hall, smallish menu but very nice, discount if you show concert tickets

We had a great time at Copper celebrating our Christmas Meal. The only let down was the vegetarian man course. Everything else was fabulous.

Visited recently on Thursday the 31st and was served by Louisa, she was absolutely amazing. When visiting bars now you don't expect the hospitality we recieved, she is an absolute asset to the company! Hoping she recieved the recognition she deserves for her hard work and great barmanship.

Fabulous food, good friendly service. Will definitely return.

Very well looked after, excellent service - friendly and efficient. Perfect for pre-concert at the Theatre Royal. Would recommend and revisit.

We went to Copper City o. 19-10-24 and we went for lunch. I have to say that we had a lovely time and the food was exceptional, the staff was really friendly and the atmosphere was excellent. If you want a great place to eat in Nottingham, put Copper City on your list

Met a friend at Nottingham branch 19 October 2024, glad I booked a table as it was busy. Dispite it being busy we did not have wait to long before member of staff brought us menues. We ate of the brakefast menue and did not have wait too long for food. I had eggs Royal it was really nice.

Just a Great venue for food drinks superb great service Excellent.

Great food and Brilliant service today from Lee the manager. Worth the visit

Thoroughly enjoyable pre theatre meal. Great food and choice. Staff friendly and attentive.

Warm welcome from all the staff and super friendly service . Lovely food , good portion sizes . Great value especially with the discount as we were going to the theatre . A smashing way to start our evening .

Loved the spicy bloody Mary pairs well with the English breakfast

The food, Service and Atmosphere at this place was excellent. The member of staff who served us was awesome. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended to all.

Food was ok but had to wait 50 mins for it to come.

Lovely pre theatre lunch, with cocktails 🍹 Delicious, well presented and good service. Just read other reviews getting a discount with theatre tickets, maybe next time...

We have been here a few times but this time we found the service quite slow due to there not being enough staff. The menue seemed quite limited too. Saying that we all had fish and chips which was lovely and hot.

Always reliable for good food and drinks. Great place to meet for a catch up. Great 15% discount offer with theatre ticket.

Best place in town for the food and drinks you desire.I was served by a girl called marietta 10/10 respectful and fast service

First time, will definitely be back, friendly staff, food was amazing Thank you

We had the best server possible they worked so so hard and was the only server at the establishment.

I have always walked past this place and never knew it was a redcat company. I was served by a young girl, which she was very welcoming the name JD, say no more lol. Thank you for the experience and the amazing cocktails. Hope to visit again and spend more time there including eating.

I was disappointed. I have been to copper city before and had a lovely experience, so I rebooked for my graduation. To make this booking I had to enquire and it was unclear if that time was available. After all of this faff trying to book, when we arrived nobody took my name and I was told to “sit anywhere” in the bar. When I tried to explain that I had booked a table I was still not asked my name but taken to a corner table right at the back upstairs where nobody else was seated. Our drinks and food took ages to come and when it did come we had to wait further for cutlery. The service was shocking and I was very disappointed by the experience.

Arrived at the restaurant having booked a table only to be told they hadn't got the booking found us a table food came ok took the edge of our visit to see our granddaughter in a show at the theatre Royal

Group of us had pre theatre meal on 12/7/24, food and service both excellent just let down a bit by poor choice of draught beers. The entertainment was a laugh, a loud man preaching fire and brimstone who was quickly ejected before any damage was done. Will visit again.

The food was ok, the service was very good and friendly. The toilet area, although clean, smells absolutely dreadful, it really lets the place down. I couldn’t actually recommend it.

I had my daughters 18th birthday party here in the function room. Large party for sit down meal and the staff were absolutely amazing. Friendly, helpful and fun. Made the night go smoothly. Thank you, would definitely use this venue again.

Although the service time was a bit longer than I would’ve liked, the genuinely delicious food makes each visit worth it!

The food was nice, the restaurant took on far too many bookings for the minimal staffing and kitchen capacity meaning a long wait for the food and forgotten items. The 2 staff that were on worked tirelessly but should have had much more support. The bar was scruffy as no one to clear glasses.

Lovely birthday lunch. With sister. Staff really good, polite, had a nice chat.lovely food. Very welcoming and friendly,

Excellent food, superb steak and mushroom pie with well cooked chunky chips and a good gravy. Waitress was very polite and pleasant. Venue a bit noisy but probably partly due to the design/layout. Discount for having a ticket to a Theatre Royal or Concert Hall performance ( the same day ) greatly appreciated

Need to update the opening times. It does not open at 9am on a Saturday!

Food was just ok but the courgette fries were superb! Great little spot for a catch up. Really good and quick service.

Called in for coffee and small plates at lunchtime yesterday and we weren't disappointed! The calamari, courgette fries and crab & sourdough were lovely and great coffee! Lovely friendly staff and great service too. Thank you

It is a place that can be preferred for breakfast, after going once, we went again because we found the breakfast good. It definitely has a good place among the places to have breakfast in Nottingham city center. But it is very difficult to say the same thing about the service quality. Even though it was empty, the waiters were not interested in talking to each other, we had to get up and go to them when they were not seen even after making waves, this happened to us both times we went. It has a very nice atmosphere and a quality appearance. If the service problem is fixed, it will be a much more recommendable place.

Lovely brunch. Fair price. Cosy interior. Let down by the accessible toilet being so close to one of the tables. I wasn’t able to unleash hell due to not wanting to upset the family sat literally beside me

Not open when it was supposed to be and person working inside ignored me and two other potential customers.

I thought this might be a bit pretentious and pricey but I was so wrong. Three mains, 1 coffee and 1 nonalcoholic beer was £45 and some change. The beef and mushroom pie with red wine sauce was without doubt the best I ever had.

A great restaurant. The food and service was brilliant. I recommend the ham eggs and chips. Good thick ham, very tasty

I was thrilled to find a local bar that serves a proper Guinness. It was 95% of the way to the taste of a real Irish pint. The best Guinness I've had in the UK by far. Service was friendly and prompt, with the food reasonable for such a city center location. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Good coffee, nice decor and atmosphere, and really friendly and helpful staff

Coopers a lovely place for cocktails and food! Especially the eggs Benedict!

Only came for a drink, so I can not comment on the food. But it was a very comfortable place with nice seating and comfortable and clean toilets.

Quite expensive and slow service

Great late brunch spot! had wonderful service from Marietta 🩷🌟

Dreadful service. The blonde waitress soooo unhelpful and a face so sour!!!! Booked upstairs but 3 children screaming and running around making so much noise. Asked blondey to deal with it but was told no. Ended up eating downstairs to then be told there's no pork on the roast menu ( even though we'd booked and said we were booking for roast dinner) and 2 wines off the list!!!! Said it had been a busy weekend. Made our whole dining experience very unpleasant and won't book.again. Poor show Copper...used you many times but this was disgraceful customer service.

the most unreal breakfast everrrrr - and its served late i ordered this at almost 1pm. loved the cute beans pot!! I requested bacon+sausages to be crisp and mmmmm did they deliver. 10/10 i will be back. thankyou so much ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎

Nice place to get a coffee or a pint. Great service. Full English wasn't good by any standards. Pancakes were tasty. The place is very spacious.

I enjoyed a meal with my friends yesterday. I'll definitely be coming again.

We hired the private room for a hen do and we were extremely impressed. Lizzie was absolutely fantastic behind the bar. The team were really helpful and attentive. The food they provided was delicious and reasonably priced. They catered for all of our needs - they had a TV that we could connect to as well as a sound sytem. I would 100% recommend. Thank you!

Unfortunately didn’t get service today. I was sat for 20 minutes and nobody came to serve me. I would have gotten up to remind someone I was here but there was a server serving the table right behind me so I just left instead. I wanted to give this feedback because as a long time server myself I totally understand tables can hide and get forgotten about (especially on a busy Saturday) but the other servers walking around seating and serving others could have easily come by or told whoever was supposed to be serving me that I was there. This communication is crucial in a restaurant because this kind of stuff happens. As a person, it doesn’t feel good to be ignored.

I visited Copper City yesterday for a staff / team meeting. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. I had the chicken and bacon club sandwich which was delicious and very filling. Would highly recommend and visit again if in the area.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Rebecca was a fabulous host and couldn’t do enough to make us feel comfortable happy with our visit. The new manager Chris also greeted us and was great. We had eggs royal and a veggie breakfast which was delicious.

Visited for Brunch, served by Becki who was really friendly and the food was amazing. defo be back

I like this place, drinks and food were good and great when you can get a seat on a busy saturday

Best Pancakes and Smashed Avocado on toast in town!! My favourite breakfast place in town, last summer I was there pretty much every weekend!. Great coffee and really tasty food including veggie options.

Cold! It's true it is 5 degrees outside but thought it might be a little warmer inside! Notice on the door, no kitchen today (maybe the chef didn't like the cold) 5 beers had run out , awaiting a delivery....it's wednesday surely they'd restocked since the weekend...... All in all this place had the look, drink availability and warmth of a bar on the verge of closing down....sad if it's true....

Having eaten at Copper several times on previous visits to Nottingham I was really looking forwards to it on my birthday after visiting the Christmas market. What a disappointing visit. My wife’s food was tepid and whilst the rest of the food was nice the service was very poor. No one came to the table to see if our food was ok, to see if we wanted a second drink or to see if we wanted deserts. We did want deserts so we could wish me happy birthday with a sparkler or a candle which my wife had brought. We had to queue at the bar to be able to pay the bill so we could leave. On future trips to Nottingham I will find a new place to eat.

Smart bar and cafe. Food took a little while to arrive but was worth waiting for. They do hot drinks but don't really advertise it.

I don't usually leave bad reviews but it seemed appropriate to do so on this occasion. I was with my mother visiting Nottingham, on Saturday afternoon, when we decided to eat at Copper's. Having been there several times, I wanted my mother to have a good experience too. The manager very nicely, made us sit upstairs where we were welcomed by a blonde waitress who from the moment she laid eyes on us, gave us nothing but a weird hostile. We ordered two sandwiches (they were great by the way) but for my mum the portion was a little too much. I very kindly asked the waitress if we could take away half of the remaining sandwich. When it comes to a take away, we certainly did not expect it to be put in a gift box with a thank you note. But we also did not expect the waitress to place on our table an industrial cling film roll and a bag, so that we could wrap the sandwich ourselves, in front of the other speechless customers. That was an absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. I do understand customer service can be challenging and pleasing every single customer is impossible. Having said that, eating out should be the time for a customer to be treated nicely and feeling welcomed. All we felt was that we were intruding and disturbing. I will not visit Copper's again nor recommend it to others. I just hope this waitress will deliver a better service so you don't lose more customers

Best Coffee Service in Nottingham.

We were very cold, we were placed in a lower room near a roof heater which wasn't working & when we asked for some warmth we were told it was dodgy. Our meals were good, delicious chips! The service was prompt. However our visit was spoiled by the cold temperature, we won't come again.

Good food at reasonable prices nice sort of gastro pub vibe. Service was a bit slow but the waitress was pleasent enough. If you're going there to catch up with a friend and have a natter the pace might suit you.

Went for lunch with a friend. The food was good and the service was excellent. Will definitely go back.

Terrrible service. Person late opening up not bothered about customer. Food only just warm. Wouldn't return. Just one lady nice and helpful the one with blonde hair. She seemed to be doing all the work. We dined Sunday 26th November for breakfast.

Ordered a oat coffee as I have dairy intolerance, and the people I was with ordered regular coffees. Our waitress told us the wrong one was oat, and then brought the oat one 5 minutes later. I had to pay extra for my milk substitution. Food was ok, it looked pretty but I felt that it was a bit expensive and was slightly bland. I had the eggs royale which was around £13-14 and I would not get it again. The atmosphere is nice, the bar is nicely decorated and the tables are nice. The toilets smell very fishy and strange. I would go here for coffee again but it would not be my first choice.

Expected more as came highly recommended, service was awful very slow & food not great 😒

Staff are lovely with knowledge of local areas. The food was amazing, and the actual place looks amazing. Chill music (no lift music) made me feel welcome. Would reccomend

A great place for breakfast. Nice interior, good food and friendly service.

Excellent service, food was lovely staff were great and we really enjoyed our family get together and will continue to visit this establishment in the future.

Nice place for a pre-dinner drink, service was quick and it wasn't too busy although no tables available on arrival soon found somewhere to sit.

Saturday morning brunch was understaffed. We waited a while for a menu, a while longer to be served. The food came out before our drink and wasn't up to the standard we would expect of Copper. The food was okay and the drinks were poor. It wasn't even busy. Copper you can do better than this.

Friendly and welcoming staff, good service and knowledgeable approach to customer's. Experience excellent.

Nice bar, friendly staff and a nice chilled atmosphere. Didn’t eat but the drinks flowed. Great location and a good place to visit

Very poor service/ understaffed. After waiting half an hour to order we asked the waitress if she could take our drinks order, only for her to take the orders of two groups who came after us first. I imagined it would have been over an hour for us to receive our food so we just left.

I ate an English Breakfast but was very expensive (~12) and small.

Wonderful and friendly staff, warm but bubbly atmosphere and the breakfast was lovely.

I had a last minute job at a party and the staff couldn't have been better - wasted no time getting me to the right place and doing the best for the customer!

Lovely place for a quiet drink. No rifraf, staff friendly and helpful. Been going here a while and will be going back again

Stairs going to a function room is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Also further stairs for the toilets which were not very nice.

Still A Good Place For A Drink & A Nice Meal At Very Good Prices The Staff Are Very Good As Well !!!!!

Not great I had a scone with jam and cream unfortunately it was like a house brick not a scone. When it arrived I thought that it looked on the over done side and rather brown. And they had warmed it up in the microwave so not very edible at all. At £5.50 for scone and a drink I won't be returning.

Not the usual staff on today 02-05-22,warm beer in wrong glasses,was offered to get served, then was ignored while they attended to something else for at least 4 minutes,dull atmosphere with staff, normally the staff on a Sunday are vibrant, knowledgeable smiling and cheerful .Sort em Out Copper boss 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Lovely food and conveniently near Royal Theatre

Great food. Good service. And value for money.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with some live music while we ate great presentation on the food xx

Went there today for the first time. Excellent food and great service. Had the Chorizo Hash. Will be returning.

Went for a pre concert meal and drinks, very reasonable prices, immaculate interior and very professional service. Ambiance of the place was exceptionally fine. I had the juiciest burger and the chips were first class. Hugely impressed and would definitely recommend for a date night/fine dining night out

A brilliant place for both cocktails and coffee. Something for everyone. My favourite cocktails in town and the staff are lovely

Friendly staff, good simple and clean place with nice atmosphere situated in a central place in city

Second time I've eaten here in 3 weeks. Always brilliant service, lovely waitress and the food is also very good. Definitely worth a visit.

Service is great made room for me to do interviews in a quiet area and waitress was lovely to chat to

Great place with great coffee and food!

Toasted tea cakes and coffee. Excellent.

This used to be a great place, up market and professional. Since new management, poor customer service and untrained staff. Rubbish response to complaints from inexperienced management. Such a shame

Lovely brunch - menu had lots of variety but was very pleased with my choice

Absolutely excellent top class food and drinks and exceptional service must visit if in Nottingham

A friend and i had booked a table and ordered from the pre theatre menu a week ago as we were booked for the 7.40pm film showing at Cineworld opposite.The waitress was very very slow and didn’t listen to what was ordered so some of the meal was incorrect - ordered from the special price 2 course pre theatre menu and asked to swop the sea salt chips for sweet potato fries - still arrived with sea salt chips - the steak was really tough to cut and i asked for a steak knife as it wasn’t served with the meal again after a long wait she turned up with the knife by which time i had picked it up with my fingers - but as my friend and i had ordered the same meal neither of us were happy with the meal or the steak - had to ask 3 times for a jug of water which was also brought to the table after another long wait - As we were sat upstairs no one around for asking for the bill so went down to the bar and couldn’t believe what the bill came to - between the waitress taking our order and what information was given to the kitchen obviously got lost in translation it seemed that our meals hadn’t been put through as the special 2 course price but was individually priced from the ordinary menu and that explained why the meal was slightly different too - by which time we were running late to get to the cinema but there was such a faff between the one who served us and another member of staff inputting on the till - my friend asked for the manager but neither of the 2x female staff made an attempt to fetch / call for a manager plus we needed to get away fast otherwise we would miss the start of the film - totally opposite experience of previous visits and no apology for inconvenience - not impressed at all - also the receipt hasn’t got any of the items we ordered just what each of us agreed to pay not professional or a good way to run a business Have since discovered that the venue has been under new management -

I’ve eaten Sunday dinner at Copper City most weekends for about three years now. Since the new owners have taken over ‘redcatpub company’ the place has gone down hill faster than a fat lad on a tea tray. No mangers on duty, juts ‘young adults’ who’s defence when complaining about the food is ‘well everyone else likes it ‘ think they need to read their recent feedback . The food was poor at best, the roast beef would have made a good pair of shoes , providing you were no bigger than a size 3. I would not call the batter mix on my plate a Yorkshire pudding, more of a pancake. I asked if they had a new chef , they said no but I’ve spoken to the old chef who has left. Most of the beers were ‘off’ so only lager available. The place is normally buzzing and full On a Sunday, it was empty and except for a table of students. The staff need training and leadership and an injection of customer service , which doesn’t mean sitting at the end of the bar playing with their phones. I will await a response from the venue , but for now , I’ll not be returning.

Visited Copper city. The vibe if lovely, very good to get work done. It’s also good for a date and big groups. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. The food is delicious and the drinks are lovely. The staff are so friendly especially James behind the bar. He works so hard and he’s a lovely person making sure customers are always happy. He’s a top man always having a smile on his face. Would definitely recommend all ages to come here. I will be attending here again!
