Dog and Duck in Ashfield

Excellent choice on menu. Friendly attentive staff and delicious well cooked dishes. The restaurant has been fully refurbished to a very high standard with comfortable seating throughout.

Upon entry it seems quite quirky with the decor which I really like. Drinks selection is very good and pub in a good location. Staff very professional/friendly. Would recommend.

Nuestro amigo estaba tan ansioso de llevarnos por una cena de celebración. Al entrar nos impresionó y rápidamente nos dieron una mesa. Estaba lleno, así que estábamos preparados para esperar, nuestra comida llegó una hora y media más tarde. Dos comidas principales de pato era demasiado difícil de cortar y el resto de las comidas, aparte de uno de sobresaliente no tienen nada de especial. No puedo decir cómo decepcionados por donde nuestra noche nulas. Nos ofrecieron un reembolso para dos comidas

Creo que esta es la tercera vez que he visitado y por desgracia cada vez que vienen hay algo que no va bien!. El lugar parece atractivo y gustos buena comida, el precios no son aún tan mal... Hay siempre algo que va mal. Este fin de semana visitamos el "gas", es decir, no habían desaparecido y poco selección bebidas proyecto de la nevera... Una chica de servir y tardamos unos 15 minutos para obtener una bebida a la hora de almuerzo. sábado Tuvimos que esperar 30 minutos más para 2 patatas chaqueta que eran buenas cuando llegamos!.. El personal es amable, pero parece ser menos personal y rápido a decir así. Este lugar podría ser una joya local... Sólo necesitaba un poco más de corazón por quien posee/maneja

Visitamos el pub ayer para mis amigos 30 cumpleaños, habíamos escuchado buenos comentarios sobre el sitio, pero por desgracia estamos decepcionados, pero nada de la bienvenida, la espera en la comida y también la comida en sí.

Vinimos aquí después de leer las críticas y unos amigos nos lo recomendaron. Fuimos un domingo y nos dieron una mesa bastante rápido. Tenían acabaron uno de los asados y mi compañero es bastante exigente, era demasiado caro y no estábamos satisfechos con el tamaño de la porción de lo que pagas. Envié mi carne ya que era muy difícil. Me gustaría volver en la semana a ver si es mejor cuando no está tan ocupado. La decoración es preciosa y los jardines son también está cerca y Sherwood Forest y el lugar es muy popular con perro senderistas.

Went to dog and duck with my wife and two grown up kids, 26 and 20 respectively,had a great meal from the new menu recently changed this week,was well impressed, good value for money, great decor if you like chandelliers and mirrors, staff were superb and am very glad i visited, a must if you want to feel like spoiling yourself and your loved ones. Keep up the good work everyone,you deserve a pat on the back

Visitamos el perro y pato en julio de este año, cuando se aloje cerca.

Al caminar en no dejarás de ser impresionado por la decoración estrafalaria, nunca he tenido una comida en un pub como éste antes. Prepárate para ser sorprendido por todos los diversos artículos y muebles decoración de las habitaciones, y ten cuidado con la señora, residente de los caballeros.

Very pleasantly surprised ! Had the white bait to start which was the nicest ever! Blade of beef was excellent and the sticky toffee pud was superb ! For a pub meal it's extra special !!

Es un lugar fabuloso para visitar y emocionante, en una ubicación y un poco de la pared. El menú era bien considerado y la buena comida (que tenía una hamburguesa de vegetariano, mis amigos la carne asada) y puso al precio correcto para llevar las familias. El bar y el restaurante no era particularmente ocupado pero la cocina parecía ser rezagado. Tardaron más de una hora para el plato principal y ninguna de las camareras parecía darse cuenta de que no teníamos nada que comer. ¿alguien mirando sobre el servicio, me pregunto? Y la implacable tocan el piano no ayuda para pasar el rato. Un lugar con tanta clase detrás obvia debería ser menos impredecible.

Went for lunch on Good Friday. Staff were very friendly, efficient and extremely accommodating. I had the best tomato soup I've ever had and then risotto. The food was piping hot, the right amount of time between each course and very good vaue for money - 2 courses for £10.95. Lovely surroundings, can't wait air to go again!

After a walk in Sherwood forest I needed a dog-friendly pub for my food-buff parents and myself to go to for lunch. The Dog and Duck certainly delivered. The interior decor is really quirky and cool with fun music (although I would perhaps recommend they turn it down just a smidge!). The food was delicious pub food - I highly recommend the chorizo chutney - and the staff were friendly.

A good carvery with a great choice of food. You can have as much as you like. There are pies etc aswell as the usual carvery meats and veg. A little pub inside which looks bigger from the outside so better to book. We were put on a smaller pub table which was ok for 2 of us.

This is the second visit to The Dog & Duck after two years. We are staying in a log cabin with Forest Holidays - Sherwood Forest. Our meal yesterday was superb, our favourite, steak and ale pie. Today I had the best fish and chips ever. My partner ate country sausages, he found the meal excellent. The wine and larger was reasonabally priced. Today, we found room for chocolate brownie in a caramel sauce, with fruit and icecream, gorgeous! You have to visit this pub if you are in the area, the food is outstanding. Staff and service are excellent too.

Whilst staying at Centre Parcs with the family we popped out for a meal on our own, we chose from the three course menu which was delightful I had potato and leek soup whilst hubby had haddock fish cakes with garnish, followed by salmon with all the trimmings (large portion) and roast turkey dinner again with all the usual extras! Both deserts were to die for, rhubarb creme brulee and apple crumble with custard. All for £13.95 per person before six! Drinks half the price of Centre parcs. Later that evening our family went for a meal who had rib eye steak and other deserts and came with the same opinion as ourselves. Decor very nice with attentive staff, will use again next Christmas!!! Added bonus two miles from the Parc!

Eaten here a few times over the last few years and from a dining perspective, it's gone down hill.The bar has got a great atmosphere and the inside is lovely, however the speed and quality of service leaves a lot to be desired.Recently ate there and pretty much everything went wrong and e finally received the last mains 2 hrs after being seated. They were busy but come one...Food was ok/good but it was the rest of the experience that let it down!In fairness to them, I made my grievances known and it was reflected on the bill.A real shame as this was always a fav little spot, hidden away in the middle of nowhere, unfortunately I won't be going back.

A party of fifteen tried 90% of the a la carte menu and not one person didn't really enjoy the food. Our waiter was attentive and polite and the surroundings were cosy and inviting. We will definitely be back

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, food was very tasty with huge portions (although my partner enjoyed these!). The decor is just amazing and was a good talking point! Would definitely recommend.

We were staying nearby at Sherwood Pines and met friends who lived locally at this pub for Sunday lunch. Pleasant atmosphere, good reasonably priced food but the service left something to be desired. Had to search and I mean search, for staff to have horse radish and mint sauce bought to the table - surely comes automatically with a Sunday roast? Then had to search for second round of drinks then search for staff to order puds and yes you guessed it, coffee just fell of the plan. Meal took over 3 hours which was OK but with younger child and a baby was a bit of a nightmare. I would give it one more go but this time ensure I had no other plans after the meal.

We are staying at Sherwood Forest and wanted a better than average meal but was unsure if the Dog and Duck would be suitable for children. Really glad we took the chance, as we given a table without problem and our sons meal was homemade chicken nuggets and chipped potatoes which he loved. Overall the experience was great, attentive service, excellent fresh food and unique atmosphere - due to the 50s soundtrack and the lighting, which give a really special feeling on a dark October evening. If you are visiting the area, would definitely recommend a visit and at only £45 for 2 starters, 2 mains, a child's meal and one round of drinks, it was very good value.

As a X chef this meal was spot on Couldn't find any fault with it.Share starter was excellent European meats and cheese plater.Main meal cod loin succulent.Beef with creamy sauce very good all so.Two glasses of red wine. All for £52. Very reasonable Good atmosphere as well nice place nice set up

Loved the decor and music (a fair bit of jazz - you don't hear that often!).We've eaten here and the food has been lovely and we have also visited one evening for the pub quiz on a Monday which was fun, unusual and hosted brilliantly.Would recommend, especially if visiting the area.

Visiting Sherwood Forest and decided to try this pub for an early evening meal.We were five adults and a 17month baby and we were made very welcome.A table was found and a high chair was added to the 5 place settings.Although quite busy, the staff took our orders as soon as we were ready and the food was served in a reasonable time which was long enough to give the impression that all the food was freshly cooked and not just put under the microwave. Not the cheapest of places to eat but worth the extra for the quality.Would go back again.

We have just called here by off chance what a fantastic venue service excellent food superb We can recommend the starters to share followed by desert and a coffee all excellent value. The decor is to be seen absolute fab. We will be calling again thanks Graham and Susan

We were visiting Sherwood Forest and the information centre recommended this pub which is nearby. The decor was very nice and def not your traditional pub look.Food was great, we all enjoyed our dishes and the portions were big. Def recommend others to try it.

We stopped at the Dog and Duck for a late lunch on the recommendation of a friend who lives locally. It is not like any other country pub we have visited in terms of décor! Think Laurence Llewellyn Bowen meets chintz!! We waited several minutes to be seated at a table and even longer for someone to take our order. We did notice that the menu states you should be prepared to wait for up to an hour for food when they are busy. Our food came quite quickly and was delicious! Puddings are tasty and well presented.Would definitely recommend for the quality of the food but the service needs to improve and don't pop in if you want any food quickly!

We were greeted at the front desk by a very unfriendly female, not a good start. We were sat outside and my soup came without a spoon. I was promised one by the waitress but it never came. I went inside to get one but by now the soup was cold. The unfriendly female bought out another soup with a spoon, shame it didn't come with an apology too.

Huuuuuuge portions! Real freshly cooked food. Lots of veggie choices. You have to wait but it's worth it. I have no idea how they can sell any desserts....stuffed!

We stayed in Sherwood Forest Lodge, approximately 4 minute walk from Sherwood Forest. I thought this pub-turned-restaurant was a fantastic end to a strenuous day in the woods. The cuisine was served beautifully, and the atmosphere was definitely something that made the Dog and Duck such a worthy visit. No hesitation in recommending this!!

Called in here on Christmas eve as we were staying at sherwood pines ! we were expecting a wait, one because we did not book and , two it was quite busy but the service was terrible about an hour for our main meal ( no starters were ordered because of the buisiness ) three people in our party only couldn't fault the food ! My son decided to order a desert just for himself !!!!! 20 minutes later we were told would he mind waiting as they were busy ????? To which then two members of staff decided to walk round aimlessly doing nothing we declined the further 10 mins wait and asked for the bill

During our Holiday break at Sherwood Pines we decided to nip into the Dog & Duck as we decided to eat there that particular evening. On entry the decor is definitely not what you expect at your average country pub. Unique in it's own way taking on pieces from different periods with a dash of shabby chic!Our meal was booked in the evening and the pub and restaurant really comes to life with it's lighting and is very warm and welcoming. The food itself is excellent. Although slightly more expensive than your average pub/restaurant, once you have seen the portion sizes and tasted the food it is money well spent!The staff are welcoming and very friendly which adds to the experience.Overall our experience was one that we had to go back the following night and know that we will be returning again in the future - that good it is well worthy of the drive from Leicester!

Visited Sherwood Pines for the day recently, but at lunch time their café was busy so we set off to find the nearest pub for lunch, which just happened to be the Dog & Duck. What looked like a normal looking pub from the outside, turned out to be the most fabulously decorated pub we've ever been in. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and shown to a table for 6 of us in the window, even though we hadn't booked. We hadn't planned on having a large meal but the menu was very tempting. When it arrived the food was gorgeous, large portions of roast beef, lamb shanks and 2 children's meals and the puddings were lovely too. All in all a lovely experience in a fabulous pub with very polite, friendly and helpful staff who couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely be back when visiting the area and would definitely recommend! How glad were we that the Sherwood Pines Café was full!

We were told you either love or hate the decor...... we thought it quirky ... but what a wonderful change from the usual typical restaurant decoration.The food and service were excellent , the portions large but really enjoyable.The restaurant even has its own traffic lights !! Very well worth a visit and will go again when next in the area.

Love this place! It's just so quirky and unique. The food is delicious but chef, watch those portion sizes, they are huge and no room for desserts! I'm surprised if you ever sell any puds! James was one of our waiters and he couldn't do enough for us. Entertainment whilst you eat! Will return again.

The is the second year we've been to Sherwood Pines and walked to the Dog and Duck. Loved it. The food is amazing. Really big portions so be prepared to come away stuffed. James is the best waiter. Such a lovely cheerful lad who humoured us 8 ladies. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

We visited the Dog and Duck while on holiday at Sherwood Pines and were delighted that we could bring our dog with us for a meal.The decor is beautiful, the staff were all so very friendly and polite and the food was lovely. We will definitely come back when we visit Nottingham again. A big thank you for making our evening an enjoyable one.

Not the cheapest meal - but certainly one of the best. Produce fresh and tasty, service excellent despite the Michael Buble tribute act. Well worth treating yourself. And the decor is one i cannot begin to describe - go and see for yourself

My partner and I visited this pub/restaurant while staying at sherwood forest . We popped into what we thought was a normal pub for a bite to eat, what a surprise when you walk in, it looks as though its interior has been designed by liberace !!! It was very flamboyant but it was so unusual we loved it. The food was very good and the staff were really nice and friendly. The only criticism we had was that our coffees came before our deserts which we found a bit strange ! Would definitely visit again if in this area.

We went here for the early bird offer (4pm-6pm) on Friday night and it was absolutely amazing! The decor inside the restaurant was out of this world - I just kept looking around and finding more amazing things to look at. You just wouldn't imagine it from the outside!The service was 10 out of 10 - could not be faulted. Staff kept asking how we were and how the food was. Really looking after us the whole time we were there. The food was amazing - well cooked and well presented. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Would definitely go again if in the area.

The Dog & Duck is a real jewel of a place. It excels in every area. The standard of service is consistently high, which compliments the standard of food. The surroundings/decor are gorgeous. No expense has been spared, no corners cut, and nothing is too much trouble. A firm favourite for us as a family, or as a couple, daytime and evening equally as good.

I went for a meal there last night for a 5 course meal with my partners for valentines day all I can say is that it was outstanding all round from booking the table wich they was more than helpful with getting me in on short notice. The food was excellent top mark for that and we was not waitin long for each course to come an when I ask them I hold on ten minutes to bring out the pudding they was more than happy to do so as most fine dining restaurant want you in and out but they was no rush last night and it was on one of the there busiest night of the year I can imagine... Price was not to expensive for the food and drink I was expecting it to be more for the drink than it was. Deffentily go back again soon

We recently moved to within a mile of this restaurant, which we tried when entertaining guests from USA. It was without a doubt one of the best dining experiences ever. The setting is superb, and the decor unique and wonderful. The food was served in a timely manner, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The quality of menu and variety of dishes was excellent. The waitress made a mistake in the order and brought an extra dish of salmon which wasn't needed, however, she said to keep it and share (which one of our American chaps was very happy with)! They also offered us free desert due to their error, which was actually in our favour.I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone travelling to the Nottingham or Mansfield area.

The pub had been reccommended to us by a local couple we met at Sherwood Forest they said the pies were fantastic.I ordered chicken and leek with stilton but it was really overcooked ( black at edge) and dry,the chips were overcooked dark brown and dry as a bone - it was a busy night 1 11 2012 and we had a long wait for our main course.Plus points;Our waiter was great - very friendly and efficientLovely pub; super decor , good menu and prices and my husband enjoyed his steak- but his chips were rock hard too.

Visited Dog and Duck whilst on a camping trip to Nottingham, from the outside I imagined the place to be a pub, however, on entering it was clear that this was no ordinary pub.The menu was quality, with plenty of choice for all tastes, there were also a vast selection of ales, beers wines and spirits on offer too. I don't think I could write any review that would do justice to the decor or furnishings, so I'm not going to try as I'm not really an expert on such things, and it's all relevant to ones own personal taste. The staff were well dressed, well mannered and were efficient in their work.All in all, the place was a pleasure to visit, the food was awesome and I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I'm in the area again.

had a good carvery at this newly opened restaurant after being recomended plenty ofchoice on menu with large or small meals.
