Fothergills in Nottingham

On a recent trip to Nottingham we tried Fothergills for dinner. We turned up without a reservation but this was not a problem. We were given a seat in the window. I chose the Mushroom Pie. It came with lots of vegetables, mash and gravy which was a real treat being a vegetarian. You don’t often get gravy. My OH had a giant fish & chips, which he enjoyed. Staff were friendly and service was good.

Bother Grills ! I won't go again. !

Delicious food and good service, the sticky toffee pudding is a must try!!!

Christmas Party upstairs with Amazing staff, food was top notch, only criticism was lack of space for seat at the table.

A good place to go in the centre of Nottingham.

Started to become my go-to place to eat in Nottingham. The food is tasty good sizes portions, and fresh. Side of veggies, for example, isn't just some tasteless mush, but were baby roasted carrots and parsnips, with cabbage and leeks on the side too! Service is excellent - friendly and professional. And there is an excellent range of drinks too. Looking forward to my next meal at Fothergills.

Amazing place, food and atmosphere is great. Staff are friendly and helpful and it’s a pub you can just feel at home even when you go in on your own for a pint.

My friend & I had lunch here yesterday. The cocktail we had was really nice. The food we ordered was excellent & cooked to perfection. The service we received was also excellent. Would definitely recommend Fothergills as a place to eat.

Good venue. Great food and lovely staff. Went for lunch today and really enjoyed the experience. Will definitely be back.

Not been before and just wanted something to eat before a gig - really good atmosphere, super friendly and great service, and the food was unexpectedly excellent (I think it’s billed as a gastro pub but even so, we were a party of 6 and everyone commented on how good the food was). Gem of a find and full of warmth and atmosphere. Fabulous

10/10 Roast and Wine selection, service was fantastic from Sèbaustian and the team. Would recommend going, and will be coming again

By far one of the most wonderful restaurants in Nottingham, always delivering exceptional food and warm service in beautiful surroundings. I bring all my visiting friends from outside of Nottingham here and Fothergills never fails to impress. Thank you Rosie and team xxxx

Una cena pre-show que estaba bien cocinado, presentado , sabroso y a buen precio. El servicio fue genial y volveré a visitarlo. 100 % en la lista recomendada.

Eddie que nos sirvió era increíble, la comida era fantástica y el ambiente era encantador. Cada vez que he ido a las agallas ha sido genial y esta noche no ha sido la excepción, me encanta aquí ❤️

Amazing service and the food is even better. Very welcoming place

Popped in today for a couple of drinks and really enjoyed the experience! A lovely bartender ( I think whose name was Brandon) recommended a British sparkling wine which I hadn’t tried before, was 10/10.

Sun Roast, very nice service, the food was great, the only negative point is the high tables at the entrance, you should have another place to eat, but otherwise TOP, parking in front of the door

Attended with three generations of the family earlier this week. Exceptionally friendly and incredibly helpful staff - front of house / waiting / bar. Food very much enjoyed. Many thanks! Will return !

Terrible service and the attitude of the bar tender was dismissive. After waiting outside for hot drinks, eventually we enquired where they were only to discover they were getting cold on a tray by the bar. The bar tender said ‘I’m the bar tender and not my responsibility to bring them out’. In the end my we carried the tray outside to our table and drank our luke warm drinks. Customer service…. Forget it, we will frequent establishments that value customers.

Nice place, great service but the food is a disappointment. I have ordered a rib eye steak, medium, with wild mushrooms and seasonal veggies aside. It came well done, no seasonal veggies and those are definitely not wild mushrooms - just ordinary champignons.

Food was delicious and service was great, but I couldn't get comfortable on the bar stool like chairs. Overall though, a really nice place to eat and would recommend

Just arrived from USA and was ready for lunch. Harts hotel recommended Fothergill’s. We popped into this charming restaurant and thought it was very quaint. Unaware of Nottingham cuisine we asked the waiter Sam, recommendations for food and drinks. Sam recommended the beef pot pie, pint of ale and a glass of primitivo an Italian wine. We also had a brownie alamode. Sam did a great job! Well done Sam! One of the best meals I’ve ever had! We shall return. . We have alot more to see on our website. Bochelley travel

Dined here on a Saturday night. We booked and it was a good job as it was full. Very friendly service. Food was good and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere as well and outside seating overlooking the castle if the weather is nice.

Complete and very good dishes. Very attentive service and clean and welcoming premises. Highly recommended.

Atmosphere was class. Location + view is top tier. Fractionally understaffed so waited a while for our food but the service was brill... the Geordie lad that served us was a legend and bumped it up to a 5* from me...

Working in the kitchen is terrible from how tiny and cramped the kitchen is for the amount of people that on shift, doesn't help that bar stuff comes in and out too, the women that also works in the kitchen was a extremely rude cow towards me and expects you know to know where everything is on day 1 on your first week when you're also dyslexic. Also expects you to be able to wash everything extremely fast when that impossible to do with the amount of pops that keep coming up one after another with no end or space for it and some how expects it to be extremely clean if you do it fast like they said to do instead of normal logically speed for it to be clean then get mad at you but won't get mad at the other person who took over and went fast and still was dirty. The kitchen need upgrading big time with lots more space and more sinks with more people working on the dishes to even keep up or cut down on the servings and tables. Overall poor working condition and the worse place I ever worked at in my life glad i quit working here so fast when I started.

Excellent and different portion of salmon salad that I have ever had in a restaurant. 🐾 Dogs are warmly welcome here

Loved it. Reallly real nice food, spuds were not so crispy, and the sticky toffee was heavy on the orange zest BUT the overall meal was ace will definitely go back. Mrs daughter loved it too.

We went to Fothergills with family over from Australia and we had a great time. The food was lovely and the service was excellent, we had Sebastien serving us and he was great. He took photos for us and got a sneaky one of himself in too. One of our Australian party was Gluton free and she was so impressed with menu and the knowledge the staff had. We will definitely be returning.

Attended on a Sunday to celebrate a family birthday. Attentively looked after by Sebastien (thank you!) who was super kind, friendly and efficient with service, any requests and helped us add some candles to our daughter's dessert for her birthday, so sweet, thank you. Location is a great part of town, and I can imagine a nice summer eveving drink there is lovely. Food was great, I was disappointed that they had ran out of pork belly & crackling, but we did attend at 6:30pm so not surprised after a full day of serving Sunday roasts. We all had sides, desserts and the choice of sparkling wine was great, so nice to see an English sparkling wine by the glass. Coffee was also excellent (and I am a self confessed coffee snob). Will definitely return, really lovely place.

An amazing roast, we ordered the beef and chicken. Everything on the plate tasted fantastic! Equally fantastic was the service from Josie.

Came for a Sunday roast. Was nice and had a great atmosphere. Staff was great, very welcoming. Right next to a monument as well.

Great food, great views. Excellent service, staff communicate well, giving great information. The food here is consistently perfect.

Awesome place. Delicious food, lots of nice beers on tap, great service & atmosphere.

The place was really warming, the waitress that served us today on the round table was outstanding, we had alot of additional extras that was slightly confusing when we ordered but the waitress was really good at recommending ans working out the best options. The waitress was extremely friendly and smiley. The food was gorgeous and we cannot wait to return.

A little not-so-hidden treasure right at the foot of Nottingham Castle. The city hasn't been able to conquer us, on the contrary... walking around we stopped for a beer in this place which immediately struck us and we booked for dinner. Adorable place, clean and tidy, good quality of the wine and beers offering tasty dishes and the extremely courteous staff. The blond boy who served us was extremely kind and friendly.

What a wonderful find! We came here for my son's post graduation lunch. The food and the service really was exceptional - going out of their way to find items not even on the menu. Thank you so much team.

Been going to fothergills pub for years, always had excellent service from there staff always polite and very respectful, food and drink top quality and very reasonable 👌 keep up the excellent work. Respectfully. MATT

One of the best places to eat in Nottingham. Staff are really lovely, food is exceptional, and location is out of the way, but close to city centre. Eaten here about a dozen times and always good.

Was there yesterday and had a coke and the helicopter burger. Sitting at the airport today and wanting to rent a car to drive back and the same again today. That burger was just amazing and the staff was extremly friendly. This place I will highly recommend.

The most delicious baked sea bass! Thoroughly enjoyed this meal 😋

Good service and good price I tried delicious mussel I will try again

Great place, excellent dishes and friendly service especially from Sébastien🇲🇫

Great Pub but £13.75 for a Large New Zealand Sauvignion is taking the Piss ! Get a grip guys ! You ain't a Michelin ! Absurd !

Excellent food. Excellent service, Excellent wine. Shame about the atrocious Gents loos.

Malek is an amazing waiter! Lovely, funny and charming. The food is amazing, typical British cuisine with a lot of personality. We will definitely come back hopefully we can find Malek again. The rest of the stuff was also charming but we enjoyed him the most.

Went for Sunday roast I had chicken breast and veg. 1 Roast potato 3 carrots and some green cabbage, and mash potatoes.The skinless chicken breast was over cooked dry and hard to cut, Overall the meal was very poorly cooked. Also my partners Draught Beer tasted stale. I expected a much better eating experience to match the Location, Decor, and service, than I got.

We were a family of 8 and were taken care of by Marek who was incredibly kind, funny, and attentive. Each of us loved our dinner and the chef even accommodated the children’s meals; thank you Marek for asking! Great music and atmosphere. Highly recommend to all! We will be back.

The atmosphere was lively, inviting and buzzing with awesome internal decor and amazing views of the castle visible from our table on the first floor. All staff were lively, friendly and helpful and the food was amazing, way above the quality of the average good restaurant, both in terms of taste and presentation. Good vegetarian options too. Would highly recommend.

Looking for a great place for lunch? Try Fothergills in Nottingham. We came in for a post graduation lunch and we were NOT disappointed. The food and location were perfect (highly recommend the steak and ale pie), but the star of the show had to be our waiter Sébastian. If you want quality service he is your man! He had it all! Thanks again for a brilliant lunch, from myself and the family. We are all heading home stuffed and more than satisfied.

Great environment next to the castle. Nice calm atmosphere, fantastic food aside the instant mash 🤷‍♀️ 9.5 / 10 😃 happy days

Lovely old building in a great location opposite the Robin Hood statue.. We arrived early - no problem, our table was ready. Provencale greens soup with focaccio bread for starers was spot on. I had the mushroom bourgignon pie for my main. My wife had steak & ale pie. Both were very good. The meal was washed down with very nice ale. Our waiter, Kyran, was excellent. The place was busy but he was always on hand to help or replenish the drinks. A real asset to the restaurant. Well worth a visit but be sure to book!

Back again to try the Sunday lunch! We really enjoyed the food with great service and lovely vile sitting outside in the sun! Had quick drink sitting outside in the sun. This is a great place to come when the weathers good! I would like to come back to try the food!

Nice place to stop for a drink :)

Good ambience, delicious food and good service. We felt comfortable and in good hands from start to finish.

Lovely pub restaurant right next to Nottingham Castle. Staff very friendly, great atmosphere. Food was excellent. I had the lamb, feta and pomegranate salad - really different and delicious. Husband had the burger which he said was excellent and we shared the salted caramel profiteroles- outstanding! Definitely recommend.

Very good meal at the foot of the castle, not very expensive. The atmosphere is very good.

2nd time in Nottingham and found this place by the castle. Enjoyed it emensely! Had a scotch egg which was cooked petfect and the mustard sauce and picked onions make it even better. Had the steak and ale pie and again full of flavor and the veg was excellent as well!

Only thing worst than the food and price is the service

Fantastic pub overlooking the castle with a lovely private room upstairs

Very good bar , with decent beer

Solid... All aspects are good...

Very chilled area beside the Robin Hood statue. Lovely staff and great food. Two course meal for £20 is a nice touch.

Delicious dishes with a friendly and fast service. I can recommend the Sundays raosts.

Amazing staff, incredible food, brilliant location. My wife and I attended a wine paired meal which was easily the best we’ve had. Terrific place. Highly recommended

Our first visit to Nottingham. We were recommended to visit Fothergills, which we did after visiting the Castle. We wanted a late lunch/early dinner, Thanks to Sam and Jude we were made very welcome. Great service and good food, some unusual choices on the menu.

We visited Nottingham Castle for the afternoon and wanted an early dinner. After seeing reviews on trip advisor we decided to try them out. Service was friendly and made some great recommendations. We tried the herb and goat cheese souffle, steak and ale pie, the fish and chips and the raspberry and white chocolate ice cream. Everything was prepared perfect and servers were attentive. On our way out they even had some great ideas on other places to visit in town. We accidentally left our bag and in an attempt to get it back to us, they rang the locations they had suggested. It was such a relief to get it back. They were fantastic all the way around.

Thanks for looking after our group of 8 on Monday - great service and great food!

Really lovely food,good service, buzzy atmosphere. We will return . (The only negative comment for me is dogs are allowed in. Personally I don't agree with this in restaurants .)

Love this place,food,location,prices. Definite stop in Nottingham.

Lovely food, nice venue, helpful staff. Just thinking I picked the wrong time to go

Lovely place for a good Sunday roast. Staff were friendly and service was quick. My roast was very tasty and had loads of different elements. Lovely view of the castle too. Will definitely be back!

This was our first visit to Fothergills and it won’t be our last. Our meal was beautiful, the atmosphere lovely and the staff were attentive but didn’t come over unnecessarily. I had the moules mariniere as a main course and it was so gorgeous, portions were just right and so tasty.

Gorgeous find excellent food very reasonable for tge quality the French onion soup was amazing We hadn't booked but evie found us a table and was a very attentive host ensuring we had everything we needed I had the Sunday road and unfortunately they forgot to put roast potatoes on but not to worry I mentioned it to another fab host vanja and he promptly got me a bowl of some of the best roasties I've ever had we will definitely be back again

Jamie was an absolute hero! The place have managed to allocate us a table at the last minute and during an Easter Sunday! The service has been excellent, the food exquisite and wine and vibe absolutely lush!

A fantastic burger served by a very competent staff and a very handsome Jude who needs to become a model. We were a party of 12 fed well and satisfied Staff in the bar , kitchen and floor were awesome Never took any pictures because...
