Gamston Lock in Rushcliffe

A lovely works Christmas meal - excellent service and the food was top notch

Went to the Gamston Lock for a family meal. The place was decorated nicely for Christmas and from the moment we walked in the service was great. Quickly shown to our table and drinks served. We had Leah to look after us at the table and she was really great and attentive. Highly commend Leah for her hard work and cheerfulness which added to our evening. We all had the festive set menu which everyone thought was amazing. Highly recommend. Will definitely return.

Friendly service from Leah- thank you!

First time being here, loved it so much lovely customers, Leah was our person that served us for our meals she was so lovely. 🥰🥰

Really nice service and very polite

Excellent good value Sunday lunch

Never have i ever been somewhere so shit in my life ordered a Sunday dinner didn’t get that I got last weeks dinner wouldn’t even give it to me dog

My last half a dozen visit even just for a lunch time drink have been equally as satisfying.

Great place. Good parking. Clean with good service and friendly bar staff

The best breakfast in the area.

We were on a short break , decided to have lunch here / wow what a find . great food great staff ..

Had a meal here for my mums 70th last night. Lovely food. lovely staff, Lovely all round atmosphere, definitely recommend, we all enjoyed

From the moment we walked in, all was perfect Friendly welcome, all menu's explained, Only complaint, too much to choose from, I mean seriously, what choices you offered. Food was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavour Staff helpful and friendly Really happy and will be back

Great place to stay, rooms were spotless, modern and comfortable. Food was great, Staff were all good. Also considering the proximity of a major road, we had no issue at all with traffic noise.

Lovely staff, lovely food, but could do with more choice of food.

Polite informative staff. Drinks were nice. food came out in good time. food was delicious. Was good price. Happy party and group all round.

The pub is a warm, friendly and welcoming place . The staff were great, polite and very accommodating. nothing was too much trouble for them. The Roast dinner was the best I have ever had in my whole life. The food here really is a work of art. Great team effort . We will be back.

Love Gamston, every time I come up to Nottingham for a wedding or event and work,I come here. Very highly recommended.

Popped in last night around 7.30pm, great service but the food was standard, we felt like we got the dregs of the day, yes it was Sunday but still we were paying full price. Not a place we will be visiting again.

This place inside looks beautiful for Christmas.nice, warm and cosy inside, food came quick and hot, the menu was amazing, the chefs are amazing, and service staff was warm and friendly

Big gaps in service, nobody asked once if we wanted more drinks, took 3 hours start to finish and all the Sunday roast was beyond disappointing. Basics of a roast we’re all wrong, potatoes tasted old and were not roasted more like boiled potatoes, my Yorkshire was wet and flat and others were that dry dust went everywhere when biting, some plates flooded with gravy and others were dry, the gravy was NOT red wine gravy it had no flavour, the vegetarian option of halloumi wrap was so over cooked it was almost inedible, had to prompt staff to get the children’s desserts whilst half the group left, terrible way to spend best part of £250, will never visit again

Great meal and excellent service from polite friendly staff. Added bonus of fast charger for our electric car.

Speedy friendly service & great food

Lovely pub. Great food. Some awesome decorations!

Brilliant place for an evening meal. Good atmosphere and fantastic seevice

Nice modern pub with friendly service.

We had a family get together to say good bye to him and his wife as they are moving abroad. Party of 10.... My nephews mixed grill was not cooked properly so he left a lot of it, His girlfriends left most of her chicken as that was not cooked properly. On paying my brother paid his £50, My nephew paid his £50 leaving £122 for us as a family of 5 to pay to be refused out blue light card as it was a party of 10 even though we paid separately. The cashier was very rude, I explained about us having 2 foster children with us and that is why we have a blue light card and she just said - that's the rules. I will be taking this further and will be telling people about our experience as a family at this restaurant.

Good service, good quality food.

Went for breakfast this morning, Avacado on toast was good, but with all restaurants, it's not just about the food, but the service. Abbie was excellent. And not just with us, you could see that she was bossing the whole operation, seemingly on her own most of the time! (Oh, good value for money also!)

Izzy and Heather were really good. Their service was great. Minor issue with the bill which got sorted out straight away. Good was really really good. Would definitely eat here again.

delicious meal with lovely friendly staff and a great atmosphere definitely recommend

Brogan did amazing very friendly and listened what we said and polite. give her a pay rise! 😄😃😀😊☺

A tremendous pub and hotel offering fantastic service at reasonable prices! A big shout out to the pub manager and every one of the staff we encountered. They were all genuine very kind friendly people! If you’re visiting Nottingham I’d choose this place. 10 minutes by taxi from central Nottingham.

Nice place and lovely food. Best to book a table for food as it can get very busy.

My first time here very amaze with front house kindness and service specially GRACE... her smile friendly way accomodate us with everything we asked for and beyond Find a taxi till make sure the taxi was ready for us... she is TOP KNOT staff.. About the food my steak wasnt so good bit tuff n stiff meat .. anyway we had great night there.. success for the future..

Lovely meal,pleasant staff, great menu. Have booked for Christmas Dinner

Always had a warm welcome here, especially for treat weekday breakfasts. The staff are welcoming and friendly. It's a real treat to be looked after. The food is good, the continental breakfast is great value and the pub is cosy.

Good service, good food nice and warm!

Nice atmosphere. Clean and welcoming. Lots of breakfast options. Very good price.

Excellent food , good choice of beers and top top service . Fantastic outside seating and a park for your kids *****

We stayed at the hotel and had breakfast at the pub. Family of 4 with two children. Can’t say enough about the staff. Dream team! Warm, welcoming and super helpful. Food was great and staff made our stay perfect. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Excellent atmosphere, food and service.

Stopped over in motorhome in car park. Meal in pub was lovely and sensibly priced with 30% off mains (voucher from website). Very dog friendly and the hobgoblin gold was superb. Car park not quite level and tight for our 7.4m MH but we could have moved once the car park emptied out late evening. All in all a nice stopover with just a bit of road noise.

We had Sunday lunch and it was the best one I have ever had anywhere. It was fresh, tasty and the portions were huge! The staff were lovely and welcoming too. I would 100% recommend it.

I know many people say this, but I DO work in the pub/restaurant business and I had lunch with 2 colleagues, where we were shocked to realise, we were not asked ONCE if we had any allergies!! Our own toll system has a prompt on the screen making us ask the customer if they have allergies, as soon as they ask for food! Table service is also offered in my work and we still ask EVERY time we take an order!! Disgraceful to put it upon the customer to make it known, your company should be making this a priority given the current climate!!! When I asked the barman (who was passing) what was in the sticky toffee pudding I had eaten, as there had been little bits in it…he shrugged his shoulders, huffed like I was annoying him and said he didn’t know and to find out he would “have to go ALL the way into the kitchen to find out” (the table we were sitting at was right outside the kitchen doors!!!!!) He told me to read the menu, but the menu only said sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream and a caramel sauce, that’s why I asked the question!! He stomped away from the table, huffing and puffing because I dared to ask a question!!! The menus have not got many details of the components in the food, except V or VG. Appalling lack of care toward your customers, forcing us to ask questions of the staff, who aren’t interested in their job enough to know or find out or even CARE!! Shocking!

Great food, the staff were amazing and so nice especially Izzy and Tracy so helpful service was great. Definitely will come back as those two made it extra special

The staff are really helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They are polite and attentive and made my stay a really relaxed one. My room was immaculate and tidy with the highest level of cleanliness. Whenever I need to stay local to my parents, I would always choose this hotel. I have already booked for December! Huge thanks to all again.

This venue was always fantastic and used to visit regularly on a Sunday for lunch, recently had a very belligerent and argumentative member of staff over a petty dietary requirement we needed in the end. We ended up walking out as it resulted in a full-blown argument in the restaurant between us and the waitress, it’s a great shame because the food and atmosphere are great and majority of other stuff the same unfortunately this particular member of staff was clearly having a bad day and taking it out on customers

Excellent service by Brogan Thanks

Had the three roasts for Sunday lunch, I literally cannot say a bad word, food was fantastic, melt in your mouth meats the staff were lovely, would definitely recommend this place..

Great food, comfortable rooms and lovely staff

Excellent food and service, exceed expectations.

Sticky floor, stained seats, dirty menus, average luke warm food

We have stayed several times at Gamston Lock and always been very happy. The staff on duty - Chris, Craig & Sophie - were friendly and helpful. Sophie was especially attentive in the restaurant.

We stayed in the inn too on the same spot. We had a great nights sleep. Clean and adequate room. Breakfast was excellent, happy and welcoming atmosphere including the friendly dog. Would definitely recommend.

Food was great, good value for money.

Excellent service, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Food was excellent, prompt in arriving to the table

Nice Saturday lunch, a few different options from the usual pub menus. Leah provided exceptional service and was very patient with my elderly mum. (Small portions for seniors would be nice, instead of offering the kids menu only )

Food was awesome, but service let our visit down

Fantastic roast dinner with all the trimmings beautifully cooked and very generous portions. Lovely desserts too and friendly staff. Will be back!

Recently visited this venue for the first time and it was excellent with great service and good value for money. I enjoyed catching up with a friend over a mixed grill which was extremely filling and well cooked. Nice decor inside and a large car park with plenty of spaces. Will definitely look to return.

Stayed for three days, had a lovely time, breakfast servers, Abi, Amy @ Tracy are just the best, engaging, helpful and hard working. Breakfast is very nice, everything cooked fresh, great continental choice as well. Thank you Gamston Lock, and keep up the great work ladies.

One of best breakfasts ive had for a long time👍👌

Great location, food and service excellent

Very friendly helpful staff, very good service. I love the fact that you can order from the table and as well as the food they bring your drinks to the table., I hate having to queue at the bar to order food.

Great Sunday lunch, very welcoming. All the staff were lovely

Really pleasantly surprised. Had a Sunday roast - well presented and well cooked (veg not overcooked). Generous on the veg...perhaps a bit light on the amount of meat. Veg option looked good and kids meal were good value.

Very poor cheese and bacon burger at this establishment both of the beef Patty's were thin,dry and tasteless and obviously very cheap catering burgers, the one piece of small bacon was once again tasteless and poor quality,one slice of unmelted processed cheese thrown in for good measure. Chips were dry tasteless also. This is the sort of thing you could find for half the price at some back street cafe in fact it would probably be far better quality.. Almost 15.00quid for this quality and quantity is disgraceful bearing in mind five minutes drive down the road will get you burger and a pint for 10.00 and it's excellent quality and quantity and a nice pub and I don't mean JDW. If this is company policy to serve up poor quality, overpriced, small portions food then company policy needs reviewing.

Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Everything a country pub should be. Go to place for our cricket club post match.

Very nice staff. Especially Izzy

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner with our 2 kids. We were shown to our table and told by the staff which items on the menu were no longer available, it made it easier for us to decide what to order. Went for steak & ale pie plus two kids meals with starter & dessert and drinks. Drinks and food arrived in good time, plentiful for everyone, staff very attentive and polite. We were served by Leah and Grace. Will definitely return back after having good experience.

Good overall experience, was waiting a while at least 10-15 minutes to be seated and served. No one was manning the desk for hotel check in and no one manning restaurant desk. Very pricey, but worth it for the quality of the food and fast service when seated, didn't have to wait long for food when ordered.

Staff is lovely, friendly and the place itself is nice. 3 stars are for the main star of the show - the food and prices. 15 quid for half size burger and laughable amount of chips left my tummy not satisfied. Paid and left, I don't think I'll rush back.

Food ok basic pub food,pub could do with a refurb.

Leah was absolutely lovely and really courteous, very easy to get on with as well and always asked if we wanted anything else and brought it to us, the other staff members were lovely as well and the food was beautiful. I had a 3 course meal for £20.75 which is a set meal and I think is a fantastic price, and for the amount and quality of the food it just couldn't be beaten. Highly recommend 😊💖

Steak & ale pie with veg & gravy, very good.

Pleasant atmosphere for a chain restaurant food ok staff excellent

The staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was cooked well, but had no flavour to it. My partner and I both had the 3 meat Sunday roast and the only thing on the plate with any taste at all was the horseradish sauce and the red cabbage.

From the outset it was apparent that this is not a particularly professionally run establishment. Table for two was pre-booked, but they hadn't managed to have two chairs in place. Found another more suitable table with very helpful staff. The pub looks jaded not helped by extra chairs stacked up in plain view of diners. As for the meal, even more jaded than the environment. A burger which looked lost on the plate with miserly portioned and pitiful looking chips and a pot of coleslaw. It looked anaemic. How about some fresh salad, apart from what's in the burger bun to liven up the plate? Clueless. As for the sirloin steak, apparently it was like chewing shoe leather and we would probably still be there a week on if my friend tried to finish it. Apart from the very friendly female staff, this pub needs new management and a new chef with some imagination and culinary skills. Until then, I won't be back.

Lovely, clean pub. Staff friendly and helpful. Food delicious and reasonably priced.

Welcoming, helpful and great food. We came late on a Sunday evening with a large group. Yet the staff were welcoming and helpful especially with the young children. The food was brilliant. Good portions and cooked to perfection.

Really friendly and excellent service

Lovely pub, the staff were so friendly, it was my partners birthday so this was a special treat. We were in the garden it was so nice. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. The portions were generous also. We will definitely be back

Terrible service! I recently visited this restaurant for a weekday lunch, and it was a very disappointing experience. Despite there being plenty of staff around, they spent most of their time standing around chatting rather than attending to customers. The service was shockingly poor, with no real greeting when we arrived and no goodbye when we left. While the starter was quite good, the main course had clearly been left sitting under a heat lamp for too long. I had to ask for it because the staff were too busy talking to notice. It was clear that customer service was not a priority here. It feels like they’re just interested in taking your money, with little to no attention given to actually providing good service. Maybe it's better when they're busy, but I won't be going back to find out.

Great experience, very friendly staff

A consistently good place to eat. Nice surroundings, quality food and good service from Abi. Recommended!

Good solid Sunday lunch with the family. Good service from Abi

Reat food and service, Leah was efficient and friendly. Really looked after us. Would recommend 👌

First time visitors and the whole place is just beautiful. The staff were all super polite and friendly. The food was incredible. We will definitely be back again.

Leah was livery and very attentive.

Food was lovely. Server Leah was excellent, thank you.

Fantastic hotel pub restaurant and very happy and friendly staff great hospitality can’t fault it all easy access for buses to and from Nottingham great room and fantastic WiFi plenty of plug sockets in room plugs and usb charging with sockets by bed and by kettle either side

Leah our waitress was absolutely amazing! Great sense of humour (trust me she needed it with us lot!!😁) and a bloomin hard worker! Thanks Leah, you made our stay at Gamston a fab one ☺️🥳😎

Didn't purchase anything. Pub looked inviting however there didn't seem to be many staff and no menus visible. There were quite a few people there but we had time constraints and so didn't stay.

Lovely breakfast and great service from Tracey. She is an absolute star!

I had an amazing experience at the Gamston lock food was amazing all ten of us loved it and the staff were amazing Craig and Abi gave us perfect service. 100% recommend this pub!

Food came really quickly and was piping hot. Efficient friendly service too

Great food, lovely staff. Brogan was very helpful and looked after me. Enjoyed the food and had a good evening

Very enjoyable time. Brogan, our waitress was very helpful and attentive.
