Four Bells Inn in Gedling

Lovely pub, food, staff & very dog friendly❤️

Good food and service, would return.

Dined last Sunday evening. Very nice. You wont leave hungry thats for sure!

We had a fab Sunday roast here great atmosphere lovely cosy pub food was delicious great service we will be back !

A lovely lig fire burning as well arrived Kate afternoon made it feel cosy from the start. A charming lady behind the bar made us welcome and had a nice natter with us about times past for the pub and what it's like now. Drinks swiftly served and as driving a very nice cola for myself but my wife enjoyed her glass of Merlot very much. Fish, chips and crushed peas for me with a pot of tarter sauce and grilled wedges of lemon. The fish was fresh and succulent then chips crisps outside and soft inside so what's not to like, well only my choice, but I do like mushy peas, but the crushed garden peas were nice. Mrs C opting for the pan roasted sea bass with ratatouille and tomato sauce. For dessert we had the Black Forest Waffle and the Sticky Toffee pudding. Both were excellent and a step above the average. Please keep it up and we will be back.

Went as a family for a meal to celebrate our Son's Birthday. Food and service was excellent. Thank you to all concerned.

Beautiful Sunday lunch with the family but £28.50 for a bottle of wine which costs £9.50 in the shop has made us think twice about going back again. 200% profit is excessive!

Good local. Lots of events being put on.

Went for Sunday lunch. There was hardly any veg, the server went off duty and didn't inform us and we were left without anyone asking if we wanted dessert. The poor lady behead the bar had to clear the table and kept apologising for her not being very good at it (it wasn't her fault!) Then, we could've walked out without paying because no one bothered to come over. We had to try and find a member of staff to get the bill. We won't be going back unfortunately.

Very “average” Sunday lunch. 2 small slices of beef for the Roast Beef (almost child’s portion). A small chunk of pork for the Roast Pork. Small portion of potato (2 bits) with the roast, no parsnip, carrots cooked to death. Would have given feedback to staff direct if we were asked, rather than on here. Table behind complained when they were asked. Pity as the waitress and waiter both very competent and nice… Great location, should be heaving on a Sunday! Not good value for money.

Great service, food was out standing. We had the beef roast dinners and it's really refreshing to see a pub get it right with the portions and price point. Would 100% recommend 👌

Food and staff were amazing. They accommodated a big group of us. The chicken dish was incredible and the puddings were fab. Everyone was really happy with their meals (gyros, club sandwich, beef pie, fish and chips, burger and the chicken dish) and the staff were super attentive and accommodating. Especially if our two three year olds and my 90 year old slightly grumpy gran! Thank you for a lovely meal.

Lovely location and has delicious food! We visited for Sunday lunch, received friendly service, and it's dog-friendly

The pub was busy but we didn't have wait long to be served. Friendly staff, lovely live atmosphere. Thought it was good value as well.

So glad to see it getting busy, the hard work is starting to pay off and it's lovely to see, 🐾 ❤️

Asked at the bar about a vegan wine the lady patiently went and found one and it was very nice we then decided on the back of that to stay for food which was fantastic.

Amazing food. Great venue. First time - won’t be the last.

Great Sunday lunch. Great service. Good assortment of drinks. Menu is varied. Great venue. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip there.

We came here for breakfast and it was so good! The pub is really pretty and the staff were friendly. It's also super child friendly. Would highly recommend!

Such a lovely pub, location was fab (opposite a park). They have a game to find the four bells hidden around the pub and it was so much fun that we had all the adults searching too! Honestly I can't praise them enough, the drinks were fab and the owner Charlie was so nice.

The food was good, the staff was friendly and the place is lovely. I surely recommend!

Popped in for a quick pint. 6 cask ales (5 locally brewed) . Very nice . Food menu looked good. Will give it a try on next visit .

OMG. What an amazing breakfast. If you fancy a treat pop on over and have a cooked breakfast. Check the opening times first but enjoy it when you get there.

Had some fantastic steak there,good service very comfortable place to eat have a drink and relax.

Excellent food, great service and engaging staff.

Our visit to the Four Bells was absolutely fantastic. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Completely blown away by the food and the service, highly highly recommend!

Lovely food and great service. Free scoop of ice cream for the little one. Looking forward to their Sunday roast.

Average pub food at best. Our party had travelled and eaten widely. Crab cakes had an odd taste, Pad Thai ot GF where it would be in a Thai restaurant. Fish and Chips was OK nothing else was as good as it should have been. I don't like leaving negative revues but there are better venues nearby.

Wonderful food, excellent service. Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious, the meat was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous brekkie. Nice sized menu. We had avocado and eggs but the standard large breakfast looked fab. My girls had pancakes and there were great. Good coffee. No long wait. Can sit in or outside. Large park opposite so Greta spot to stop with the kids, kids pancakes were a good size too!

Great choice of food on the menu, everything we ordered was cooked well and tasted great. Would highly recommend and will return! The staff were also very friendly and accommodating for the party and dietary requirements Thank you!

Excellent pub. Highly recommended.

What an incredible breakfast ! As always the staff and food were fantastic.

Always wanted to visit, just never have. But today was the day, we loved it. Great food and very friendly staff. Did not disappoint.

Excellent sunday lunch really enjoyed the food and service was amazing. Lots of options for food including vegan and gluten free would recomend and looking forward to going back

Enjoyable meal had by us on tapas night. Nice staff & atmosphere. Hope to come again. Wine & beer also drunk. Not much more to add.

We had a fantastic meal at the Four Bells. The food was delicious and the staff were great. We will be back soon.

Thought we would try this place as location looked nice and reviews seemed good. On arrival waited at the bar and noted someone who arrived after me was served first, a bit put out on that. Ordered starters and mains, seemed a long wait for the starters, I understand Sunday's may be busy but it was a while. One started arrived rock hard on the outer. When the plates were cleared and asked if everything OK, my son politely pointed it out. No apology offered but this was removed from the bill. I had ordered the nut roast off the menu but was informed it wasn't gluten free. It was agreed a Sunday lunch would be made up. What seemed again a really long wait, the mains arrived. I am unsure what was put on my plate instead, very odd sponge type something? I would have enquired but no one checked in if all was OK. The rest of the meal, potatoes and vegetables were luke warm not hot, the gravy the only thing hot. One of the other mains was excessively covered in chilli that the beef rice and veg tasted of nothing but chilli. When the plates were collected this time, no asking if everything was OK. Would have been nice at this point.? We made the decision given our disappointment over the food and length of time taken to give up on desserts. I appreciate the starter was removed but would have been nice to be asked about the mains, one of three on par. I wouldn't visit again given the above, it was a disappointing experience overall for the money.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Friendly staff

Well must say the family loved the food, but I had the buttered fish and chips all very nice but the peas were not to good would suggest serving good old mushy peas. Also only two small chicken nuggets in child's portion, would be better if there was an option to purchase more. Beer very good nice hand pulled, very good parking, nice ambience in the pub and also dog friendly, We shall be back again thanks M&J

Great food, super nice staff, very old cottage-y feel for a pub, made for a nice day out 👍👍

Was looking forward to visiting the Four Bells after reading their recent publicity, so took a guest as well last Friday. Wow! £9-10p for a pint of beer and a bottle of zero alcohol beer! Really? I would have asked if that was correct but didn’t want to cause any embarrassment in front of my guest at the time. On the positive side it was an excellent pint, but at those prices I won’t be returning.

Friendly owners and even better food. Can definitely recommend.

Nice decor inside,lots of real ale to choose

First visit here on Saturday evening Friendly staff food order taken within 10 mins and food service quick We had the 5 tapas dishes and extra chips followed by pecan toffee tart Absolutely delicious can’t fault anything Nice atmosphere and nice large car park As we only live 10 mins away we will certainly be using the four bells more often Keep up the good standard

Friendly staff, food was fabulous! As soon as I walked in this pub I was comfortable it was a great atmosphere! Definitely be going back here 10 out of 10.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. My husband had lamb, I had chicken and we shared a side of cauliflower cheese. Everything was so tasty and the red wine gravy was lovely. Excellent service, enjoyed it all.

Beautiful breakfast. The avocado and poached eggs were excellent 👌 😋 the others had the full English and they said the same 👏👏

Came for Sunday dinner, food was ok but there was not much cauliflower in the cauliflower cheese. Service was bare minimum, spoons didn’t come with the cauliflower cheese or with desserts and coffee was only luke warm after sitting on the side for a while before anyone brought it over. However the beef itself was gorgeous and the veg were fresh and tasty. Unfortunately I don’t think we will be returning for food again

Lovely Friday lunch, will go again 👍🏻

We went along for dinner and the Saturday live music. Korean beef dish was incredible, can’t wait to have it again, the music was excellent too.

Went for lunch mid week, the food was delicious and lots of gluten free options if that matters to you. Staff were welcoming, lovely building with good atmosphere. First visit but will come back.

Table booked for Saturday night the staff are helpful and polite . The food is excellent and the atmosphere is great the live artist was a bonus

Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was great as was the atmosphere.

Best meal I've eaten out in long time, absolutely fantastic.

Fantastic atmosphere, excellent food, child friendly, dog friendly, wonderful pub set in a beautiful village, would recommend a visit. I went to this pub a few years ago, and it had a different landlady, the new owners have clearly changed the place for the better!

A really delicious breakfast today and great coffee, thank you!

Booked in for Easter Breakfast which didn’t disappoint. Ample portions, well presented and great on the palate!

Great food, good quality. . Good service lovely friendly staff. Lovely meal with the family after a dog walk. Hadn’t been for a few years. Will definitely go back.

We went for Easter lunch and was quite disappointed. I had a Nut Roast which was £19.90 so I expected great things. My 3 Potatoes were hard, I had one quarter of a carrot, my friend was lucky and got half (as seen on photo) few beans, maybe a tablespoon of cabbage and gravy. After finishing 2 of our 3 plates were taken away, no pudding menu was given nor have we been attended to ask for it or any drinks. Food has usual been good and I left a review before but this time it’s not been worth it as I left hungry due to not eating breakfast as I expected a bigger portion for the price. Also how is the veggie option £3 more expensive than meat? I find that very frustrating, my choice of not eating meat should not increase the price. Won’t be back for Sunday roast, might visit for drinks and a lunch again as previously it was good.

Fantastic atmosphere, excellent food, child friendly, dog friendly, set in a beautiful village, would recommend a visit

First visit , very impressed with the food and service ,we will definitely visit again

Absolutely fantastic food. Beautiful Sunday dinner. Impeccable service by Harvey. Thanks for a lovely visit 🥰

Late Sunday afternoon dinner for the family was fantastic. Me and the wife had the Sunday Chicken dinner and the kids had the Bells Burgers . Everyone of us said how nice the meat was and how enjoyable it taste. The staff were friendly and very helpful and Harvey'who served us couldn't do enough. We will all definitely return again soon for a family Sunday dinner. Pete

I visited here with a large family group. We all enjoyed the food and thought it was of high quality. The staff were also all very welcoming and friendly and the service was great too. We will definitely be back again soon

Super roast dinner piping hot and lots on the plate could not fault it and very friendly staff will definitely use again BEST ever.

The food was nice, hot (which is important). With warnings from servers about the hot plates. Only 3 choice of dessert, so most of us didn’t have one. Luckily ice cream was available for our 4 year old.

Wonderful food and fantastic drinks.

Lots of great recommendations for this place so we were excited to try. However we were extremely disappointed with the food, value for money and atmosphere! The Sunday lunches were really small and expensive for what they were. My son had a kids meal where the peas had clearly been microwaved- they were so chewy and frozen. We were really disappointed and wouldn’t recommend this place.

We have been for a few meals here and been great and brought my sister as she wanted to try and we booked about 4 weeks ago. but tonight was a disaster. There was very little available on the menu and instead of a meal we ended up sharing some tapas, which wasn’t what we came for. The food was OK but not as good as we’ve had before. The waitresses were fantastic and really helpful but explained that the pub was changing pub chain and they were running the stocks down. All in all we were very disappointed and considering we booked 4 weeks ago really we should have received a courtesy call to explain there would be a limited menu so that we had a choice of whether to go or book somewhere else.

Nice country village pub, lost some country pub atmosphere but still a nice spot for a beer

Great food and cask ales. Had the French Cheese and Onion Melted Sandwich (can't remember the exact name) and it was amazing. Cask ales are pretty damn good and always worth a pint (or more if you aren't driving) Great place to go for Sunday Lunch but make sure you book to make the most of the visit. Had a Beef Roast but had half demolished my plate when I realised I hadn't taken a photo of the amazing food. Photo is of the Chicken Roast and it was very very tender.

Great Brit Stop. Really welcoming and friendly staff. Really enjoyed the food and pub.

Beautiful pub with great food. The service is attentive, friendly and the variety of options on the menu covered everyone in our party. Every meal was delicious. We came as a belated birthday meal and the staff really went out of their way to look after us, even giving us a birthday dessert, which was a lovely touch. We will be back!

The food was amazing, but the service was very slow, and some items were forgotten altogether. Will still return

Really lovely sunday lunch, very tasty, will definitely return, thank you

Had the blade of beef, chicken and leek pie all tasted and looked good. Service was great with friendly staff. Good selection of local beers

Roast beef was so tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch. Great pub, lovely environment, dog friendly too. We loved it. The sticky toffee pudding was also a really good portion! Yummy. I’d recommend!

Beautiful Sunday roast, the best I've had for a while. Lovely service and stunning building

Another new brigade in. They are getting there. The Blade of Beef option my wife was looking forward to had run out by 7.10pm and she had to re-order through the disappointment. Food excellent as were the house wines. We will be back to support our local that used to be so good. Shipstones ales also good.

Absolutely amazing meal and service last night at the Four bells. Kudos to Charlie and the team. My braised beef was amazeballs 😋😋 Highly recommend 🥰 Fab service and lovely atmosphere 💪🏻🥰😘

First time visiting as we recently moved to the area. Food was really really nice. I didn't appreciate though waiting more than 20 minutes for deserts, when it was not even particularly busy. Anyway, food was really impressive and we will definitely visit again soon.

The parsnip soup was tasty and presented beautifully. The pie and vegetables were great, portion sizes just right. The waitress was very friendly and cheerful. It was a lovely lunch, not busy, so the atmosphere was quiet, but we still enjoyed ourselves and will be going back again. Thank you

Beautiful Traditional Pub in Woodborough Village... Had the Nut Brown, which was a very nice pint. For food, my wife and I had the Trio of Meat Sunday Roast, which was excellent . Staff were polite and attentive ... Would definitely recommend 👌 Finally the log burner was a welcome touch on a cold winter's day...

Quality of the food is excellent and the staff are friendly but be prepared to wait a while during busy periods such as Sunday Lunch.

I stayed overnight in my motorhome in the car which was a peaceful stay. I had a lovely meal in the pub, can't fault anything! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, warm, and cosy.

Thank you to the four bells staff for welcoming the lambley elf walk....65 people dressed as elves needing a beer

This pub sits in a pretty village however, sadly it keeps changing managers/owners and the food doesn’t seem to be the same standard/quality as nearby rivals. The fish finger sandwich came on what looked like ‘50 50’ thin sliced packet bread 🤦🏼‍♀️ and sat by its side was some thinly sliced lettuce drizzled in a nice tasting vinaigrette. I’m not sure if they were low on salad materials as my sons main meal was a Caesar Salad, not lacking in bacon or chicken but certainly lacking in salad. Both the fish finger sandwich and the Ceasar salad weren’t cheap either, so very disappointing When we go for a meal the look of the food and first impressions last. The Fox and Hound in Blidworth do a fantastic fish finger baguette and made this one I had here look like a child had made it. We were glad we ordered the side of tapas as these made up for the other things.

Tuesday night food, great place for some good food. The beer was a great find for a local brewery. The food was well presented and tasty. The landlady and bar staff were very friendly and attentative, cheerful and friendly. Great place to sit down near the log fire and enjoy the warmth.

Just Wow !!!! Went on speck for lunch today Lovely friendly service Absolutely amazing food From the delicious steak pies - to the gorgeous Haddock & Chips All served on hot plates Don’t get me started on the chips !!! Fabulous quality Can’t say enough good things Please give it a go You will not be disappointed

Very good food. Staff were friendly and polite. Service was excellent.

Had Sunday lunch here, it was mine and my partner’s first visit. The roast beef dinner was gorgeous, proper Yorkshire puddings and we also had the cauliflower cheese which was excellent. We had the chocolate peanut stack for dessert and it was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a very long time! Beautiful pub, friendly service too. We’ll happily go back 😊

First time visiting here as it’s pretty local. Decided to try the tapas evening for our wedding anniversary. The pub is in a lovely location. Food was lovely but as we had tapas I expected a small plate each to divide up the different dishes between us. Once food had been bought to our table that’s the last we saw of any staff and it wasn’t particularly busy ( myself and my husband ) and a party of about 7 celebrating a birthday. We would have liked another drink and a dessert but after waiting for someone to clear the plates for about half an hour we went to the bar to pay and left. This pub has so much potential to be great but the service is seriously lacking.

Being residents in the village on and off for 50 years we have seen the comings and goings at the pub. Just had Sunday lunch and quite simply excellent! We all had beef, medium rare, homemade made Yorkies , all plated with selection of veggies inc red cabbage which wasn’t bothered about but didn’t spoil my lunch. With the extra mash and veg was about £20 ph but the beef is quality. Living in the village and when home from work, just want a pub with good food, service and nice atmosphere, somewhere that ticks all the boxes. Doesn’t need a Michelin star like establishments in neighbouring villages just keep it going and the local support will follow.

Amazing roast dinner and puddings. Even my kids ate their dinner. Great service also will be back.

Wonderful charity fundraising evening. Thank you to everyone for hosting Walking4Hope tonight - great event 💚

Had a drink after a 3 and a half mile walk

As a family, 9 of us my family my brothers family and our parents, we try to get out for a family meal each month and we change the place every time - this is an odd one for me, because I know potentially it could be fantastic, our experience was pretty poor tonight, it’s above average in cost, so it is reasonable to expect quality. The food was problematic, I had muscles to start, no complaints but my fathers soup arrived a good half hour after everyone else had finished, then I had steak, cooked well done when I asked for medium rare. I sent it back and the new one was raw and cold in the middle, I couldn’t eat it, we were not charged for the soup or the steak - the service however. Was top - from the barman to the wait staff, absolutely no complaints, in fact they were very good. I wouldn’t usually consider going back to a place that didn’t meet expectations but I just know they can do better - thank you for the service, we will come again someday to prove I’m right 😊

What another amazing meal at the four bells In fact it is our second day in a row coming to dine here staff are always friendly and alway a lovely family feel ! Its nice to be greeted by Caroline the new landlady she always found chatting to the locals making all feel welcome and if people are happy with everything Bonus you are allowed to bering Dogs may it be just a drink or food you pop by four you will always get a warm welcome Look out for themed events and evening

Absolutely amazing atmosphere! Been here a few times just for drinks and sat outside. Tonight we went for dinner and wow, i dont think i have ever tasted anything better anywhere else iv eaten at! Literally was every mouthful was amazing! Staff are lovely and always polite and cant do enough do for you. Had live music too! Honestly the atmosphere here was great, were not from the village but felt like part of the community. See you soon!
