Earl of Chesterfield in Rushcliffe

Great traditional English pub. Ale is good, and the staff are so friendly!!

Just called for a drink nice place looked at menu seemed OK will probably call again

Lovely Sunday lunch and pudding. Very friendly staff and quick service. Not a negative but please can I have my gravy on the side next time 😁😁

First time been here. Lovely place, good selection of beers and nice surroundings.

What a fabulous find. Absolutely stunning proper food. I had steak pie & mash. I’ve never had a pie with so much meat in it. We will definitely be returning.

Visited tonight for the first time in years and it didn’t disappoint. Friendly staff and great food!

Nice pub with friendly staff and good food. The atmosphere of family meetings and friendly gatherings

Absolutely delightful place. Doesn’t look like much on the outside but warm and cosy and beautifully decorated on the inside. The food has been absolutely delicious every visit, homemade and very well cooked, great menu for all appetites, proper pub grub. One of the best pubs for food in Nottingham in my opinion and very reasonable. Best banoffee pie I’ve ever eaten. Service is also wonderful and very friendly and attentive!

Excellent Sunday lunch. Beef dinner came with half a cow!

Not happy. A group of 12 of us came today. Most were walking and had drinks. But some wanted Hot Drinks, only to be told. None available at all. No coffee or tea. Surely in this day and age hot drinks should always be available. Next time I will bring a flask.

Great Sunday Lunch Ray Burch (Gunthorpe Lodge)

Enjoyable visit for a meal and drinks

We didn't eat so can not comment on the food but enjoyed 2 visits. One we sat inside with the dogs and one sat in the garden. Drinks reasonably and very dog friendly, even selling treats.

We were made to feel very welcome. The atmosphere was lovely and the food amazing. Everyone was so lovely and so helpful. The tartar sauce was delicious!! Thank you - we will be back!!

Great Sunday roast with friendly staff. Update: still one of the best roasts around.

A real find! Vegetarian AND dog friendly. Food was fantastic, service was brilliant, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Unable to fault. Just wish that we had discovered it earlier. Top marks all round. Will be back.

Great lunchtime sandwiches - lovely fresh bread and excellent selection of fillings. Well presented and friendly service.

Friendliest landlord who really looked after us. Excellent burger cooked to perfection.Tastey salad and children's meal. Lovely outdoor space,but missed the old swing. Friendly customers.Easy parking

Very nice meals would recommend

Steak night amazing value and excellent meal best steak we have had in a long time

Great food and lovely staff 👌 The round the world buffet was really different and a great thing to have on a Friday evening.

We booked Sunday lunch for 3 of us, hoping for great things after reading the reviews. How disappointed we were. The vegetables were frozen and tasteless apart from the carrots. Roast potatoes were frozen and anaemic, yorkshire pud raw in the middle, overdone on outside. Meat edible but not pink. Definitely not worth the money. No one came to table to check if everything was ok. We won’t be returning.

Nice country village pub, dogs allowed which is great after a long walk, the food is amazing, if you like steak pie, its a must, just delicious

Lovely countryside pub with good food. Outdoor & indoor seating available. Accessible by footpaths from RoT & Gunthorpe if you're up for a bit of a walk. Only minor negative for real ale aficionados is that selection on offer could be a bit wider.

Favourite pub to relax, bring the dog and food out this world. Bonus watching red arrows out the window

Lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere

This was a lovely pub with a very warm welcome. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch and our 2 dogs were made to feel very welcome. Will return when we are next in the area.

Calm, peaceful and a good pint of cider to be had.

Great pub, great service and above all great food. You won't leave hungry

Cosy roaring fire was a huge attraction. Good food, pub grub style, friendly staff, plenty of parking. Would recommend

A gem of a pub in a lovely village and a bonus it is dog friendly! Great atmosphere! Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Sunday lunches are excellent and very good value. All the food is excellent!

Drove passed this pub quite a few times on the off chance I phoned them up to see if it was dog friendly so booked a table OMG the place is up there with the best I’ve been in staff and management so polite and the customers are really friendly 1st time I’ve been in there and felt right at home everyone in there basically came over and fussed the dogs Now on top of that the food was 1st class This was top restaurant food All in all a great Friday night Dogs loved all the fuss as well Will deffo be back

I phoned the pub to see if it was dog friendly And it most certainly is Staff and management really polite Customers are so friendly and make you feel welcome So onto the food This was 5* perfect Found a real gem here We took our two dogs and they to was made to feel part of the place Will definitely be returning A big thank you to all for making it a good experience

Booked a table for Sunday Lunch we were late as we got lost on our walk before hand. Phoned to let them know nothing is to much trouble for this Pub. Very friendly hearty food well done just what you need after a hike. Tasty decent portions and reasonably priced- roaring fire and lively atmosphere will be sure to return in the not to distant future!

We had a terrific lunch in the garden. The sandwiches were delicious. Good beer, good service, very clean and tidy and a friendly welcome

A traditional pub offering pleasant surroundings & selling good quality food & drinks. There is an outside bar & seating area as well as a very large car park. The staff are very pleasant & helpful making for a great place to visit 👍

Friendly staff, good place for a pint with excellent scenery.

Dropped in for a bite to eat at this lovely pub. The food & service is really good and at a reasonable price too. Recommended 👍

Had to leave this review, I am not a fan of Sunday Lunch BUT the one we had here was absolutely perfect !! Lovely meat, veg that was actually cooked properly rather than murdered, yorky was huge roast spuds excellent EVEN the gravy was nice ( not a gravy fan as a rule !) The staff were great. Well worth a visit, we shall certainly return !!

Very good, food portions plentyful, good selection of ales. Nice people running the pub. Would have been 5 stars if these was a better GF option.

Excellent country pub serving great food and drinks. Friendly staff, good beer garden and dog friendly too, can't ask for anything more!

Great food great beer lovely welcome. Nice beer garden too. Log burners in winter. Highly recommended

Enjoyed our meal gedling ramblers well done to young lady 👏

Great food, great atmosphere, great garden

Good food but slow service for food

Definitely recommend this village pub great staff even better meal. We visited this pub on our 44th wedding anniversary 8/7/22. Try the steak pie it will beat you 😂😂👍

Excellent food. Excellent staff Recommended

Visited today and ate three courses as part of a Sunday roast. Nice location and friendly staff. I would have to mention that the food was of itself high quality, this was evident from the meat and fish provided. The food was also cooked perfectly and nicely presented. I would definitely recommend, and would absolutely return to eat here again.

Local for me to meet my stepdad on a Sunday, lovely village, please take care driving through.

After walking locally we booked into this country pub. Not having been in for many years I was amazed at the transformation. Now a great local pub with modern but tasteful decor and the Sunday lunch we had was one of the best pub meals I’ve ever had . Could not recommend more highly.

A popular & friendly pub within a beautiful little village. Come hungry

Not friendly very clicking and snobbery

Lovely country pub, very traditional inside. Has a nice outside seating area. Pleasant friendly bar staff

Lovely looking pub, great staff and friendly atmosphere

They serve a great Club Sandwich!

Everything fantastic, owner and staff brilliant even the totally mad chief.

Great value for money,and fresh produce, Would recommend

Haven't tried the food, as we just popped in for a drink. A real village pub, with a friendly, warm atmosphere. Could see the kitchen and it looked impressive so may well be back to try the food. Has improved enormously since the last time I was there 20yrs ago!!

Lovely and friendly atmosphere. Phil and Louise are so very welcoming and their service and food is top notch.

After walking all morning, came across this old pub in Shelford village. Was not sure if it was open but tried the door in case and were delighted with the welcome. Ordered a couple of drinks and decided go stay for food as well. Mine host gave us a copy of the local history trail to read whilst we waited. Limited menu, but wholesome and well presented. Will definitely stop here again when back this way.

We’re a walking group and they accommodated us all brilliantly. We pre ordered as we were a big group and everything was marvellous (arrived a bit early but not an issue) Log fire warmed us all up and everyone there friendly. GO THERE 😃

Lunchtime meal, large portions, beautifully presented and very tasty. Excellent service. Restaurant warm and spacious.

Lovely place, friendly obliging staff. Good choices limited of you're gluten free, but excellent knowledge of allergies. Other menus looked good. No qualms about going back.

A friendly and welcoming rural pub serving good quality and tasty food. Good beer and excellent service.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Delicious off the menu meals provided when vegetarian option not available. We're looking forward to our next visit - and hopefully the Halloween special!

Popped in tonight for an impromptu dinner. Great food and good helpings. Extensive menu (about to undergo a tweak). Selection of four real ales. The new owners were really friendly and were proud to show us round. Tables were distanced so it had a nice spacious feel. Large car park. Ignore previous old reviews, the pub is under new ownership. We can't wait to go back and try Sunday Lunch. Highly recommended.

Booked for afternoon tea (for my friend’s birthday) after visiting the garden centre at EastBridgford. We had a really lovely afternoon in the garden. Staff were really lovely and attentive and couldn’t have looked after us anymore than they did. The food was so nice, especially the salmon and prawn sandwiches which were amazing!

Beautiful food, surroundings and staff xx

This Pub, owned by the locals, offers a good range of Real Ales and serves up Great Pub Food, with excellent Service by the staff. Well worth paying a visit for best value and quality in the area.

Food was lovely. But a pint of fosters £4.00 but i have larger top and got charged a extra £1.10 for a dash of lemonade unreal. £5.50 for a larger top !!!!

Just had our first meal here and throughly enjoyed it. Lovely food and lovely people. So we will be there again.

Walked along the river from the Cliff in Radcliffe on Trent. Great walk to the pretty village of Shelford where the pub is situated. Nice big garden, friendly staff and delicious food. I will be going back for more!

We have regularly visited this pub for the last 30 years. We were sad when it closed in 2019 so we were pleased to hear it had opened again this year. We visited tonight for dinner. Service 10/10…food 10/10..VFM 10/10.. come on people support this amazing village pub..let’s keep it open and support the amazing staff trying to keep this facility open for the village of shelford and surrounding villages.

Excellent service. First class lunch ! Highly recommend ! despite the rude table next to us, complaining about nothing didn’t spoil our lunch. The customer service and the way the team dealt with the table complaining about nothing was top tier ! Definitely coming again

Had a meal here whilst stopping at the nearby caravan park. Food was good, with a fair selection. I would say that the prices are average. We enjoyed it so much we went back for Sunday dinner! Nice and cosy and well kept. Dog friendly inside and out. Staff were welcoming and hospitable. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Would definitely use again if in the village. Recommended *****

Lovely Sunday lunch, good selection of beers, friendly service. Good to see the Chesterfield open again.

FAB lunch today would highly recommend 😋

Our party of four attended and was greeted with a warm friendly smile from all the staff, everyone of them was pleasant on our 3 hour stay, the food was freshly cooked, the homemade steak pie was amazing, very good portions, the beer garden is lovely.The pub has recently been taken over, so ignore any previous bad reviews, you will not be disappointed.I would definitely recommend to everyone.

Went for a walk from East Bridgeford to Shelford. Went to pub for Sunday lunch. Beautiful. Had ourpuppy with us. Made us very welcome.

Expected it to be busier but food was good

First time we’ve dined out since the relaxing of Covid regs, Just had a lovely Sunday lunch, food was delicious beer was spot on and the staff really attentive and friendly couldn’t really ask for more, will definitely be back thank you

Had a table for 4, we all had excellent meals, good wine and beer with excellent service. Keep up the good work

Really nice pub with amazingly friendly owners and staff! Was an absolute pleasure spend time here with the family!

We had been out on a 7 mile walk with the dogs, was driving by the pub thinking it had been closed, but lo and behold it was open. Had not booked, so wife went into the garden to ask if we could eat, and a big warm yes. Really attentive young man, sorry did not get his name, but superb service. We had beer and wine and two roast dinners. Food was very good, although I did have a question over the roasties, not certain if they were out of a packet, but that aside really good portion, great tasting, but why a 4 below. Highly recommended.

Super pub, service was great even though we were fussy! Lacking veggie food on the Sunday. And I couldn't see any vegan. Had a relaxed Sunday there. Thank you

Dropped in on the off chance after a long doggie walk. Warm welcome, super staff, great value food from a smaller Covid menu. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and very friendly & polite staff. Our food was very nice and took roughly 10 mins for the 4 of us. The beer garden is very spacious. Will definitely visit again.

Recently reopened, made good use of the outdoor space and Sunday lunch was fantastic.

Lovely, friendly pub, lovely staff.

Lovely Village pub with nice food wine & beer selection.

Great pub, service, friendly staff. Loved it!!

Just been to the pub only been open a month and Phil and Lou and all the staff have been amazing ,service brilliant,food excellent can’t wait for lockdown to be over then we will be back

Had a lovely main meal and dessert, very nice staff and good value.

Went for Sunday lunch with family. All Covid rules observed. Received a very warm welcome from Phil and Louise and their staff. Good choice of food which was excellent and gluten free option available for my Granddaughter. All in all a very pleasant experience for us all and the bill was most reasonable! We are sure to make a return visit.

Ok meal, too much for my son who was too old for the childs meal!

Nice food and atmosphere, we shall return

Hoping Bass will be back on sale, Sunday lunch was good but too much chicken, & knife needed to be sharper, pork needed another slice & crackling needed to be crisper, children's menu needs to include over 8s. Also apple pie needs to be on the menu, all well served & cooked & we will definitely be back.

Cosy pub! Very tasty food which is reasonably priced!

What a shame its closed. The food was fantastic

Its thr best for a roast, as long as you dont mind dogs, there are always loads. Too many at times
