Fox & Grapes in Nottingham

Great pub, good selection of beers and card & board games.

Great pub, great choice of beer, great food!

Nice pub. The food looked really nice too. Didn't eat but we definitely will next time.

Great pub friendly atmosphere and staff were really helpful and friendly.A great selection of beers on the menu. A must visit pub if you like good beer and atmosphere.

This pub used to be a rub down scruffy pub with a bad reputation, well done to Castle Rock for turning it around. It's in an area with quite a few good ale pubs which would make it an excellent pub crawl.

Great pub next to Sneinton market 👌

Having drank in the Fox & Grapes for a few years now I know the beer selection and quality has always been spot on. The relatively recent addition of Chuckys Kitchen is an absolute game changer, great food and really good prices!

I was overcharged, and explained this to the 2 staff members. They said not and that I was wrong, despite me insisting I had added up the cost of the 5 drinks I had ordered. Once they printed off the itemised bill, they agreed with me. I had been charged for 6 drinks, not 5. No apologies, just a refund. But on the positive side, they do display prices and have a great variety of drinks. This review would be more positive if either of the bar staff had sad sorry. Mistakes do happen.

The pub quiz nights are great. They have a lovely starter called Patatas Bravas, which is delicious. I would recommend it. However, I was not happy with the service tonight. I had to wait a while for my order to be made because one of the staff members gave the starter to another customer who ordered the same. It really let me down because the service was great when I have visited before. It made me unhappy for the rest of the evening.

Nice and busy at a weekend. Well worth a stop off

Always clean with a great selection of ales and ciders especially locally produced. Food is good and well priced. Staff are always cheerful and polite. The loyalty card is a great addition and can be used across the many Castle Rock Pubs

Great beers, great staff, horrendous food

Lots of beers good food and atmosphere

Nice spot for drinks and some decent burgers as well!

Comfortable and welcoming. Service was great 👍

A Verified Venue on the Untappd App with guest ales along with the full complement of Castle Rock ales.

A lovely friendly pub very nice and clean with very friendly bar staff and dogs made very welcome . The picture is of the none alcohol beer that i had at only £3 a can very reasonable .

Great place to chill after work, especially when it's sunny. Everyone's nice, has a kind of old school alt vibe. Parking is basically nonexistent, but that's not their fault.

One of the better Castle rock pubs

Good pub, great selection of beers, ciders, and even perry. Lovely atmosphere inside and out.

Good pub on the edge of town in an growing part of the city p

Had a good Hawkshead Porter, a beer I've previously drunk at the brewery in the Lake District

Okay pub, typical of the Castle Rock, dog friendly is the main benefit it offers

I'd forgotten about the Fox and Grapes, great vibe good beer 👍🏼

A classic Castle Rock pub! Clean tidy if a bit echoey due to bare floors and walls. And the bus stops outside so no need to drive

My partner and I visited tonight and there was a table of three gentleman who smelt of weed. Given I am extremely allergic to weed, I very discretely asked one of the gentleman if they use weed as I could smell it to which he replied they did! I explained thank you and I am allergic and started to leave. It was at this point that his two colleagues who had gone outside to smoke their joints in the pubs garden returned and their colleague explained that I was allergic to weed to which these two started verbally abusing me, calling me weak, telling me to go back to my colonial roots( Im from Zimbabwe) The member of staff just observed all of this and did nothing at all! It was me who actually apologised to all the members of the public currently using the bar for the disturbance. So… if you want to have a drink amongst people who openly vape, smoke weed in the pub garden and deem it normal to verbally abuse members of the public and be served by bar staff who lack any moral fibre then visit the fox and grapes!

First time over to this pub and would definitely go back. Great food and beer. Staff were great with my guide dog. Very friendly place a must visit Castle Rock pub

Breath of fresh air… After a visit to another local public house where the visit was poor the Fox and Grapes was fantastic! Great beer, great food, welcoming atmosphere and wonderful customer service. Well done to all the team at the Fox and Grapes…👌

Great place for catch up after excellent Billy Bailey show will call in again

Fantastic pub with a wide selection of drinks to cater for all. Food is also very good and the happy cluck is awesome, do not change it! Lots of different events take place and having attended whisky tasting, wine tasting and a quiz night I would highly recommend to all.

Busy castle rock pub near motor point arena,good choice of beers, chuckys food

I don’t know what to make of the Fox & Grapes, we weren’t allowed to sample any of keg guest beers, their own IPA wasn’t good, luckily we were allowed to try that. As a boozer it’s good, it has a great atmosphere but I was expecting more charm.

What a great pub ! Incredible choice if ales, ciders and lagers and the food was amazing at a good price. Get down there and enjoy !

Excellent pub about 15 minutes walk from Nottingham Railway Station. Six cask ales - and five ciders - on handpump when I last visited including a stout. Busy but not too busy before the Spurs game at the City Ground. For many years, the pub was named Peggers and was run by Banks’s. Reopened by Castle Rock Brewery in 2017.

Friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere and good selection of beers, I'm yet to try the food but I'll definitely be giving it a go soon. Good place to meet friends for a pint.

Excellent selection of ale and gin. Staff are brilliant, knowledgeable and very friendly. Located just on the edge of Sneinton Market. Crowd is creatives, some beer nerds, hipsters and locals.LGBTQ+ safe. Very clean, nice crowd, reasonable (but not cheap) prices. Very generous loyalty scheme via the app. Recent student accommodation next door has not affected the ambience. Multiple sockets and USB points, decent WiFi. Great for an afternoon pint or a more lively evening. Some outdoor seating and in summertime it's a glorious location right in the city centre. Sadly the eclectic pizza offering has been replaced by a chicken and chips corner. They say they offer vegan options but appear to fry everything in the same oil and nothing on the menu about cross-contamination.

Always try and pop into the Fox and Grapes when I'm in Nottingham. Certainly a place to go if you like craft beer. Very decent selection with friendly and attentive staff

A great find for craft beer in Nottingham

Cracking little boozer! The food was banging too 👌

Well it is my local. What else can I say

Thursday 28th september 2023 Today i went to what is a marvellous nottingham real ale and cider pub 4 real ciders on handpump and umpteen great interesting hand pumped ales on Great staff who know how to look after real ales This proper pub has a really busy local following who seem to drink the hand pumped ales ferviantly The pub has great background music on, and it has to be an essential visit for real ale drinkers to come to when in Nottingham Well, done all people who have made this pub what it is👍👍👍👍

Not bad little pub. We didn't try any food but from what we saw it looked good. Service was good and a good selection of different lagers and beers.

One of my favourite Castle Rock pubs- incredible selection of ales and craft beers, decent prices and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Biggest selection of beers and ales I've ever seen! Cute outdoors area although next to a road. Pet friendly and lovely staff! Attracts good crowd too.

Welcoming staff ,good prices in the beer .

Brace yourself to be blown away by the sheer quantity of drinks on offer in this place; the selection of beers at any given time is astounding. Its location just a short walk from the city centre, and right on the edge of the hip place-to-be Sneinton Market, make it an ideal visit if you find yourself in town. It also boasts a welcoming atmosphere, bright and airy interior, reasonable prices and efficient service, with a pleasant outdoor seating area for the warmer months.

One of my favourite castle rock pub. There’s always a good selection of beers here from all over the place on keg and cask. Always a great pint here and the staff are great.

Update: Really disappointed to come back to this pub; my contacless payment for £5.50 was declined (only requiring my pin number as usual), I was almost treated like a criminal by the bar staff and locals, with a member of the bar staff scarcasically calling me an 'oh such honest and valued customer'. Albeit I have not been to been to the Fox and Grapes for over a year, but we supported this pub throughout Covid being our go to place for food with our children. Really disappointed to be treated in this way, I have been supporting Castle Rock pubs as an excellent brand for over 20 years. No need for this attitude, very unusual for Castle Rock pubs in my experience.

Hi, Installed a new glasswasher for the fox and grapes. Any glasswashers or dishwashers look out for the Aventus Group. 👍

Great craft beer choices that are always rotating, plus your standard commercial gear.

The place was very quiet, and it was expensive 😭😡.I could see why it wasn't busy, but the staff are okay 👍

Another a great Castle Rock pub. A beautiful venue that is peaceful with friendly staff and customers. There is a great choice of beers and a nice outside area. This is certainly worth a visit if you’re in town/Sneinton area.

Great selection of beers. Friendly staff, top quiz! Hope the food returns soon..

Another good honest boozer which, although owned by Castle Rock, showcases beers from other breweries alongside their own range. Always a lively atmosphere and always plenty of beers to choose from on cask and keg.

Nice place, comfy seats, good crowed and friendly staff

Lovely selection of cask and keg beers at a reasonable price.

Lots of drinks on tap and keg. Wonderfully place. Love it. Would definitely recommend.

First time visitors, well recommend the choice of ales on offer. Nice ambience in which to sit and enjoy a good pint.

Great beer, super friendly staff. Recommend Mango Bango for something a little different!

Came to watch Englands first game today..there was a problem connecting the TV after much perseverance Ben got us up and running..all credit to him

Great pub with excellent beers.

Good range of beer, nice atmosphere, knowledgeable staff too !!

Always a pleasure drinking hear.

Great Castle Rock beers. Staff exceptional. Total lack of oiks, yobs and other undesirables.

Great ale and cider selection. Free dog treats at the bar and next door to the increasingly incredible Sneinton market.

Great beer we'll kept, staff happy to serve, we'll worth a visit if you're any where near Sneinton Market, keep up the Great work CASTLE ROCK.

Good beer, good spot before heading home. Indie vibe !

The beers from Ukraine they have at the moment are excellent and you can do your bit to help while enjoying a drop of lager or pilsner. Double win!

Great friendly pub in Sneinton market😊

First time in this pub I sought it out due to its history and while in Nottingham payed a visit. Nice pint and nice sandwich by Roubin

Great selection of beers and a nice atmosphere

I consider the Fox and Grapes to be my local despite the fact I live nearly two miles away! There is always a warm welcome from the staff and the beer never disappoints. I'm a bitter drinker so always pleased to be able to have a pint of Castle Rock Preservation. There is lots of choice for other drinkers though, a lovely pint of Guinness and good lagers in Prava and Staropramen. Always an impressive choice of Cider, too. The pizzas are good value and are big enough to need a doggy bag - for me anyway! The atmosphere is always good and there's a mixed clientele which makes the pub an interesting place to drink.

Relatively quiet pub with friendly staff. Had a pot of tea and a hot dog both of which were greatly comforting.

Excellent selection of beer, mostly Castle Rock (effectively their taproom) but others also available.

Lovely little pub. Great beer, lovely staff

Great beer and vegan food options

Grsat pub.Friendly staff.Good choice of ales.Relaxing atmosphere

Really good selection of beers at a good price. Very friendly staff and a lively buzzing atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, great beer, excellent service.

Weird time to go to a pub at the end of a pandemic. And even weirder it was going to the Fox & Grapes (you have to love pub names), and even weirder that I had never been. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was completely my bag, packed with not the trendy and loaded types, more sort of a bit on the bohemian side types. Lovely local beers, and reasonably priced wines, which were actually all right.

Fox & Grapes is a fantastic pub located just 5 minutes from Nottingham city centre and around the corner from Motorpoint Arena. The pub offers an amazing selection of beers, ciders, craft ales etc. Fox & Grapes' decor is nice and fresh and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. I believe the pub sells food however i am yet to try it, maybe next time! Would recommend.

A 'proper' pub run by Castle Rock, always have great choice of Ales and craft beers. Just outside the bustle of Hockley and a great place to spend an evening.

Excellent beers on offer from Castle Rock and other breweries. Good selection of continental lagers and craft beers in cans. Staff very welcoming.

Ok, rhe track and trace policy requires you go indoors to scan not in Window. The staff are somewhat condescending. However the drinks are good.

Good pub with great selection of beers

Great choice of beers, great environment, and during COVID I must say they are doing a great job keeping the place clean and welcome to customers. Highly recommend!

Lovely pub staff so helpful and I can take my dog have a lovely lunch n a nice whisky or two with my matey. 😀

Great staff. Great selection of beers and ciders.

Good pub. Lots of real ales and craft ales at reasonable prices. They also know what they are doing about social distancing and safe practice. A good pub to go to in these strange times.

Proper pub. Great selection, friendly staff,

Nice & Peaceful As Well As Being Not Expensive

Lovely pub, good social distancing.

Excellent. Great service and friendly staff

The staff were extremely friendly and their set up for COVID-19 was perfect.

Really good procedures in place, friendly staff and of course castle rock hospitality

Lovely place to drink the eats are a bit pricey but nice place nice bar staff

This is a cool pub just on the edge of town, great friendly atmosphere inside with happy, helpful staff behind the bar. They have some great beer on tap and plenty of seating inside and out. Really smart decor very clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

The ambience and the friendly staff, an easy going place

Beers were good and a decent selection

Brilliant pub 8 real ales and loads of craft beer. Lunch looked good. Highly recommended
