Friar Tuck in Gedling

Yet another good pub going in favour of housing.

Such a shame they're demolishing this beautiful place. We had a truly wonderful time 😢

I love this pub. It’s got an old school pub vibe which you don’t find much now. The staff are really friendly & helpful and good sense of humour. Pretty nice crowd in when i’ve been in too. Good pints and the food always smells good, but not gave it a go yet. Great dartboard & pool table. Literally has everything you want in a local in my opinion. Please don’t change Friar Tuck, especially not to a retirement home. All the best, Oli.

Excellent pub brilliant team what a shame to close it. Landlord and lady perfect hosts, food great and all staff friendly and welcoming. Thanks for all the lovely food, drinks and wonderful company. You will all be missed

Better than what it was last time

Excellent food and drink staff made you really welcome definitely be coming back highly recommend it especially the Sunday dinner

Great place to stop over for lunch. Friendly staff and great service

I ate a piri chicken flat bread.Apple pie and ice cream.Everything tasted awesome. Service was friendly.

Went there this lunchtime 7 ladies .we all enjoyed the meal and friendly staff

Seven of us went for lunch it was perfect. The meal was so nice not a bit left on the plates. Staff were so friendly the whole lunch was just so relaxing a great place to eat we will definitely return

Excellent service staff are the most polite and friendly. Josh and casey are so accommodating. We eat here as well and the food is fantastic and great value for your money. Would recommend highly. Landlord and landlady very welcoming and chef Jemma very attentive.

Great value. Tasty food. Quick service. What's not to like 😋

Great pub but the food takes 1 hour

Ordered Sunday roast but could not eat it the waitress took it back I told her it was disgusting she said what can we do I ask for an ice cream chef said no my friend sent her dinner back to I wouldent go there ever again worst Sunday dinner ever

Been once again to this place special occasion never disappointed good food excellent staff brilliant prices big car park plenty of parking spaces big inside watch the football pool table kids machine out door playing area seating out side a range of beers kids drinks wines toilets in doors what a day out it is good to know if you have a big family ring and they will put u all together if u not tried this place please do excellent service

Food excellent and the staff very friendly . Went in for a bite to eat with my sister yesterday

My wife and I recently had a bad experience at another restaurant nearby. We came in here for a drink on way home, unfortunately kitchen had closed. We perused the menu and returned the following day. I had the XL Mixed Grill and my wife had the chick n mix. We were absolutely overwhelmed by the food, absolutely piping hot, well presented and really really enjoyable. The pricing was extremely fair and reasonable. The staff are attentive, friendly, very good at what they do, they come across as enthusiastic and genuinely enjoying interacting with customers. JOSH in particular is a likeable young man, very much on the ball, and is a warm welcoming character.

Easy parking, nice staff, good atmosphere, good value for money

Sweet place. Old school but good. Soon to close I'm told. 😞 Lovely beer garden with plenty (too many?) Picnic tables. Kids loved it. Hidden gem 💎

First ever visit. Fantastic and a great family experience.

Been her with the kids the last few times we've been out for a meal, foods good with quick service time,staff are friendly, kids love the toy machines after they've eaten.

I give one start because i cannot give less. Worst pub ever. Need to wait for a drink 1 hour. Look of pub is like a hunting house and toilet dirty and smelly. Avoid at any cost

Avoid at any cost. Need to wait for hours for a drink and old bold guy at the bar very rude when asking for our drinks. Bottle of water come with mould on it

Loverly lunch and quick drink thanks for the food!

Lovely pub with delicious food.

Excellent meal and didn’t have to wait too long. Steaks cooked just as we liked

New menu great - men had tikka tandoori and I had vegetarian mushroom garlic and cheese bake which is do not me to have a meal without meat but all were lovely and tasty. Service excellent too. If you like tasty food it is definitely a must visit.

Lovely beer, fantastic staff, plenty of choice and attentive staff when we asked questions.

The staff are friendly; they cultivate a warm, relaxed atmosphere. The menu has a good selection and the food is great. The drinks are competitively priced also. I’m a frequent customer for these reasons.

Went here yesterday for the new menu launch and can honestly say we was more then happy. Can not wait to go back and try the other new dishes on the menu. Great food and great service as always.

Came here for food with family. Food was excellent hats off to the chef the whole group enjoyed every last bite. Service was incredible thanks to the young man josh on the bar such a bubbly character serving us. Would definately reccomend coming.

Been here a few times for food and always had a nice meal

Genuinely amazed by the quality and flavour of the food we had. Wasn't expecting much as the price was very reasonable but I was shocked how nice the food was. Will be back!

My husband and I can't fault the food here and the drinks. All reasonable in price food cooked to perfection nothing too greasy and half way through our meal asked if everything was ok, amazing foods and value we will be returning.

Nice family pub with pleasant friendly staff, big menu to choose from at reasonable price. Plenty of tv screens around to watch the sport Will definitely be back soon

Booked a table for the England v Wales Rugby match. Brilliant table, great view of the match. All ordered food which was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful. Couldn't fault the place and staff. Will definitely go back

Pretty good food and excellent, friendly service. Some of the decoy felt a bit tired but overall a pleasant experience. Would recommend.

4/3/24. My hubby and myself have just had the 9oz ribeye steak on a skillet, it comes with chips, grill tomato and peas. We had a pepper sauce and onion rings on the side. The steak was cooked to perfection, the peas reminded me of when I was a child eating them straight from the pod. Everything we had was so tasty. I would recommend this pub to everyone. The service from the lady and gentlemen behind the bar was very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be going back here again in the not too distant future. Amazing.

Great night watching the Rugby! Very friendly staff.

Service great food and drink lovely

Goid variety of food and drinks. Plenty of spaced out tables. Outside needs painting and a tidy up.

Decent pub food at reasonable prices. Only let down by despite ordering on the app it was quicker to order drinks at the bar. That minor point aside worth a visit

Great food snd vfm. Had a lovely meal with family Thank you

Staff are great as is the atmosphere. Food is great for what you pay and the drinks are very reasonably priced. All in all a great local pub.

Visited in January mid week. It was quite and food arrived at a reasonable time. Food was generally good.

Great pub to pop in for a drink after work

Went for a works meal, friendly fast service, everyone enjoyed their meals

We found this place a few months ago and first impressions were great. We called in fairly regularly and the atmosphere had been really nice and the food really good value for money. Usually it's a larger lady that does the food and drinks and she's great. Friendly and makes a good burger and fries. We visited this evening (14/12/2023) at around 5pm and a woman with multiple tattoos was serving. She was particularly unfriendly and impatient. My partner and I both commented on how unwelcome she made us feel. We were served really poor quality food (especially in comparison to previous visits). Burgers were cold, salad unwashed with old lettuce, old tomatoes with blackened core, red onion not peeled correctly and cheese that did not melt as burger was too cold. Our son ordered a pint of cider that was stale and had a bitter after taste. I returned it to the barman who swapped it out for a bottled cider instead. He was far from his usual self and there was a bad atmosphere behind the bar which we picked up on straight away. My partner has been sick since returning home. Really disappointed with our visit and it's gone from one of our favourites to somewhere that we have no desire to visit again. Very, very disappointed. Consistency is key in any food business and good customer service and a friendly demeanour are pivotal in ensuring customer retention. Sadly, this was missing tonight and it's highly unlikely we will visit again. EDIT*** Response to owner response. I'm not sure what aspect of the wording of the review you find disgraceful to be perfectly honest. The only thing I can see would be the "fairly butch lady with tattoos" which was being used in a descriptive sense rather than an offensive one. I will update the review to reflect that (and remove it) if you consider it a disgraceful use of language that has had "a profound effect" and apologise to any staff that were genuinely offended by the use of that term. No staff had banter with us that night. We apologised repeatedly to tattoo lady as we changed our order a couple of times whilst deciding what to eat. Rather than accept apologies from us with good grace and a smile, she was impatient with us instead. If you have the CCTV you will notice me looking away from that lady for a minute and biting my tongue because I was ready to comment on her attitude. In the interests of diplomacy I decided to bite my tongue rather than make a scene. When I first came to the bar to return the drink you (assuming you are the guy with little or no hair) were stood with another older lady and I stood there right in front of you both for some time waiting to return the drink, before being told to "go over there, we are not serving here" by that lady (in not a very friendly way). I did this and then stood there for a while and you eventually came yourself to replace the drink. Not once did you crack a smile or even say "sorry about that". We thought you were down to earth and friendly on previous visits so I was quite taken aback by your general demeanour in all honesty. It's true we have had banter with your staff on previous visits and even left the usual girl a £5 tip on our previous visit for the good food and good service (the larger one for want of a better term). None of that changes our experience on the night and that is the reason why we left our negative review. The fact that you are denying our experience speaks volumes. Look back through your CCTV or ask the staff that collected the plates and you will see that none of us touched any of the salad as it was neither fresh nor cleaned. The burger was not hot enough and that was evidenced by the fact that the cheese atop them did not melt at all (not even a bit). Please don't presume to tell us what our experience was or deny its authenticity. It was our experience from our perspective and we have been nothing other than truthful in sharing that experience here.

This place is amazing. The food is fantastic.

Great place, decor will need updating soon

I have spent the last few weeks in the friar tuck, for different celebrations, I can't thank the staff enough all staff are amazing, nothing was to much trouble. The Xmas burger was amazing. Five star review from me xx

Great pub, great food, excellent staff, will definitely be going again 👍🙂

Rude staff! Walked in with our 5 yr old and didn’t know they wasn’t allowed near the pool until the rude member of staff informed us … the sign wasn’t clear…. Wouldn’t get a 1 star if it was possible

My favourite pub, the staff are so welcoming and friendly, the food is always fresh and the portion sizes are good! It’s always clean and has a great atmosphere.

Will not be dining here again. Poor customer service, lousy food, no apology. My husband and I both ordered lasagne and salad. The salad was inedible, very very spicy, causing my husband to almost choke. When we tried to point this out to the waitress we were treated appallingly. She was rude and unhelpful and would not accept that we were right about the food. All I wanted was an apology but it was obviously too much trouble.

It's a local pub, lovely landlady , food good, nice atmosphere , it is what it is but would go again xx

Excellent staff food and service. Amazing landlady. And landlord bar staff fantastic josh amazing food amazing. Just visit

Just called in when passing, food was fine and staff were very welcoming. Found the place a little on the chilly side and ladies toilets weren't as clean as they could have been. Would drop in again though if passing.

We all had a good meal today. The food was really good. Will visit again in the future.

I think this place is really good for watching live sports so I recommend this for people who love sports and they have a nice game you can play at the bar but you have too pay. So overall I would give this place 8.5/10

Staff go the extra mile to make your visit special.

Great value for money will defo go back next time we are back in arnold

Great food good selection Great friendly staff Child friendly nice friendly atmosphere

My husband & I decided to try the Friar Tuck for lunch yesterday after visiting Arnold to meet up with friends.We had quite a long wait for the food as they were catering for a large group but this was made clear to us on ordering.It was well worth the wait.steaks cooked to perfection & at £8.49 well worth the money.

brilliant food value for money my friend and I had the 2 meals for 12 pounds

Good food reasonably priced big portions. Friendly fast service

Danielle was great. Had a chick mix Friday night and Danielle couldn't do any more for me and my family. I will be back.

Good food with some good deals. Nice staff and a clean environment. The large TVs were all on playing adverts and stuff that no-one was watching but the changing & flickering screens I found distracting. Save electricity (and money) and switch them off?

Staff very helpfull and appeared interested in what you said to rhem

Lovely food and great service will be back again 😋

Great food at Great prices. The staff are always up for a laugh and helpful too 😁

Food is excellent and really improved maybe there's life in the place to keep it going as it would be a shame to loose it

The meal l had was the best Hunters Chicken that i've had anywhere. Service was really good, and meeting friends here, made for a great atmosphere. Service with a smile. Will return.

The food was excellent but the landlord not! Could do with some lessons on being nice.

Came here for a family meal for a birthday and everyone really enjoyed it. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming. We was a large group booking and all the food came out together and the food was lovely. We will definitely be going back. We reserved a table and because there was so many of us they gave us a sectioned off area and said we could go in early to decorate the tables with balloons. Overall a lovely place and not expensive. I would highly recommend Friar Tuck.

Whilst over in UK visiting our 90 year old dad and our mum who has really bad dementia we visited our local pub The Friar Tuck. These guys were very accommodating for us all. Even allowing mum to have something to eat off the kiddies menu. We had a lovely meal for the 3 times we went over two days. Thank you so much. Really appreciated. Now back in stifling Spain. See you again later in the year. Take care all, Paul and Linda xx

Staff was very polite and friendly. Food excellent and hot.

Very nice meal worth every penny not waiting long very hot very nice meal for price Mac and cheese is to die 4 would recommend anyone to give a try

Bar staff friendly,food lovely ,good parking area .

Great value, decent food, friendly staff

Was my first time in and I will be back thank you 🍻

Just enough to fill you up. There was 4 of us. We only wanted nibbles. Ordered 4 starter's. Was plenty. 👌

Amazing experience, amazing food, very well recommended for everyone 😊🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Dated Decor,questionable hygiene practices(sticky tables and menus )Staff not never questioned if food was ok after serving ,three of our party of eight had upset stomachs this morning I would advise any one not to visit this dated, unhygienic public house till Greene King give it a complete make over, an embarrassment in their chain of pubs in this area !!!!!!

Well what can I say. My Low and slow beef rob skillet was first class as ever. Emmas macaroni cheese was excellent too. The beer the liquors are first rate. So is the price. Thanks.

Amazing food, all the staff are amazing and go above and beyond JOSH. we've been here about 6-7 times now and I can't find any faults. 5,stars guy's keep it up see you all again soon 👍

Came in with my family last night for a meal was beautiful cooked perfect had a beautiful pint of madin nice crisp and fresh staff was friendly and held a conversation they all went above and behind great place fantastic new menu too definitely coming back.

The food was delicious will definitely go there again thank you .

Lovely food, great staff. Large pub, wheelchair accessable.

The fish and chips were absolutely unbelievable….fresh cod cooked to perfection,with a delicate batter,and beautiful fresh chips. I do not know how they are able to make a profit on such a substantial ,perfectly cooked meal,which was delivered piping hot,and prompt. Thoroughly enjoyed it,well done to the kitchen and Thankyou for restoring my faith in eating out,and providing good wholesome food. You can give expensive restaurants a run for their money……..

Lovely establishment it's usually quiet when I go in but the prices are good and the food and drinks are to perfection.

Booked a table fir 5. Service was good. Food represented excellent vfm. We were sll delighted with quality of food. Pricing fair on both drinks and food. A good evening and attentive staff Thank you

Not sure if was landlady and landlord or just bar staff but found them both to be a bit rude and abrupt there's better ways of communicating or getting your point across,it was our first time there and will be our last

Good quick service, the staff was very friendly and the food was beautiful. Would Highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

Had a lovely meal again here today. 4 of us had lunch and all meals were fantastic. Food always good here cannot fault it. We don't live in Arnold anymore but we always come back. Love it!
