Holly Tree Farm - Farmhouse Inns in Nottingham

Poorly arranged for Sunday carvery. Half of the party had finished their food before the other half had returned with their carvery. A better setup is required so everyone in a party can eat at the same time

Charlene at holly tree farm nottingham, was so helpful and nice, excellent service providers. thankyou

Lovely food, not much meat (two-meat option had one small, thin slice of each meat) & some parsnips were overcooked, but portion size of each meal is v.good & tastes good. Not sure if delivery should be an option though if it isn't reliable. I ordered food for delivery & received my confirmation receipt at 1.11pm & food arrived at 3.31pm - 2 hours & 20 mins after ordering! The app originally said around 1.50pm. Rang restaurant twice, 1st time to be told ring Just Eat but you can't as a customer

We had a lovely meal. The food was hot, tasted good and was served quickly. Elliot was a great server and the main reason I decided to post this review.

Ordered food on line at 1.15 ,4x carverys for wife's birthday. Told it would be here at 1,50,then went to 2.20 then 2.50.latest one 3.05 to 3.25 rung the pub was told to ring just eat they tell m toring the pub what's happening!!! Phoned pub again lady there more helpful arrival of dinner went up to 3.45 ,totally ruined wife's birthday, daughter has got to leave shortly for prior engagement, 33 years i worked for Hardy Hanson//G/King this is terrible service. Just been informed its on its way only took 2hours 10 minutes

Lovely staff and food nice atmosphere

Chips and mushy peas were ok. Really Disappointed in the pie. The pie was so soggy like it been put in the microwave. I like my shortcrust pastry to be crusty not soggy. The steak inside it was very chewy as well.

Went Saturday for carvery.Very disappointed no cauliflower no broccoli no peas. Basically all potatoes not worth the money.

Perfect roast dinner will return soon

a very nice carvery good portions

Beautiful food, but the portion of fish is too small

Charlene was great love coming in

4 of us Just popped in for carvery and cake dinner today. Food was fresh, hot and lovely, really enjoyed it. But must comment on what lovely, polite and friendly staff they were. Explained everything and were really nice. So lovely to go somewhere, where staff seem to care. Well done Holly tree Farm. Highly recommend.

Very nice food and service amazing thanks to Charlene

The carvery is usually one of the best in the area but has recently been not as great as it used to be. Thats the same for desserts, they advertise the amount you should be getting but then they serve you half the portion at full price. Don’t get a dessert or takeaway. Rip off!

Lovely bar staff the food was great would like a bit more choice of veg on the carvery but otherwise very tasty

Went there ordered two sirloin steak, they were supposed to be medium rare , they were burnt and one was full of grisly bits 🤬. Not happy with the service ordered two large southern comforts to be told they were out of stock . Not once did anyone apologize for any of the issue, paid for a service that wasn't up to scratch. Not happy about that

Would possibly return but definitely not on a Sunday. We waited 45 minutes today in the queue for the carvery because they had 2 people cutting the meat and adding the Yorkshire puddings onto the plates but both of them were serving the same person at the same time which wasn’t very efficient. The carvery itself was actually really nice apart from the carrots being chopped so thick they could have been used as door stops. We had desert after, 2 of the deserts came out quite quickly but we had been waiting 20-30 minutes before a member of staff then came over and told me they’d ran out of the flavour of ice cream I had ordered so I had to choose something else. 10 minutes later they then brought the other 2 deserts we were waiting on, we ordered 2 scoops of ice cream and the chocolate brownie however they had put the cold brownie in a takeaway box rather than on a plate and left off the ice cream that it is advertised to come with. We had to ask someone to put it on a plate with ice cream and warm it up as it is supposed to be served warm

Order x2 carvery’s and have had only one delivered @ £32.00. The is next level disappointment, holy farm house are refusing to answer there calls,i have left a message with them. I will not be ordering from them again.

Worse food you've ever tasted. Cold and raw in parts. Avoid

Charlene was absolutely amazing today thankyou for the service, 5/5 for everything would 100% recommend

I really like hollytree the staff are always really lovely, the good is great, my only problem is that they never have lemon cake on sale I really want to try it and it's sad it's never there. but honestly it's one of my favourite places to eat.

Ella was fantastic, great customer service and wonderful food. Will be back

Ella really looked after us , absolutely love this place !!!!

Staff were good very chatty, Charlene very happy and helpful.

Service very good waitress to our table very nice and talkative very pleasant. Thankyou Charlene

abit disappointed in the size of the meat I put in for two meats and got one slice of beef other to that was a nice meal.

Very large and pleasantly decorated restaurant . All of our table choose the carvery ,food was excellent and Great value , I had the standard size meal and couldn't Finnish it ,so full.

Had a great evening meal (carvery) here, and then a Business Networking breakfast for 40+ in the morning. Carla and the team were fantastic. Food was great.... and a bootle of Shiraz for a fiver 😎

Nice and friendly staff with good quality food warm atmosphere ho nice music 🎶.

the food is nice but ordered a giant éclair and was forgotten, but did get refunded credit for when I order again.

Unfair treatment ,my child head was banged by an adult in the soft play area and we were kicked out . Not coming back here

Food tasted terribly, had a strange taste, undercooked potatoes, turkey had a strange taste to it Waste of money

Cold to touch looked like was old or been sat around.. Very dissatisfied and disappointed. 30 quid and was soggy.

Oliver thankyou so much for ur service made us laugh and so comfortable a pleasure very friendly

food was not fit to eat wasted £51 a 2yr old could cook better had to give 1 star because no minus all went in bin

Had a lovely meal today with family carvery was lovely, fish chips and peas cooked to perfection, chicken wings and onion rings excellent could fault any of it, all beautifully cooked, ania was the perfect host, chloe behind the bar was polite and professional both a credit to your company.

Always a lovely place to come and spend time with family

Stumbled across this, have to say it's very nice. The carvery was amazing tastes so good! The staff were lovely especially Elliott!

18th birthday celebrations Elliott and the team were absolutely amazing very polite nothing to much trouble food was amazing ty so much and looking forward to coming back again in a couple of weeks

Came for lunch and the food was amazing!!! Angel went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our visit x very friendly and nothing was too much. X

We ordered a delivery and it was pitterful. 1 small piece of dry meat and 2 potatoes with some sorry looking veg

Had a lovely meal and Tirana was fabulous will deffo recommend

Ordered extra Yorkshires and pigs in blankets didn’t get them. The gravy pots was crazy had like 20ml of gravy had to add my own. Also ordered toffee cake they sent me chocolate instead.

No gravy and the smallest cake in slice in the Guinness book of records and it was smaller than the receipt I have a picture to prove it. Took the absolute p*ss

I have come here for dinner a fair few times and it’s always a nice local place to have breakfast dinner or lunch, I thought I’d write a review now because I came for a carvery today and I just want to commend the staff here today because it was extremely busy and they were just A*, food was lovely and I want to give praise to the gentleman with the gold tooth on the carvery, he was lovely and made everyone laugh and defused any frustration with the ques! Nice place to come! Thank you!

Lovely food, well worth the wait queuing up.

Lovely food and service especially from tiarna fantastic. Will recommend to friends. Queue wasn't to bad today. Cakes atw great also

Sundays are always busy at holly tree but worth the wait for the carvery and angel truly lives up to her name! very friendly and welcoming when we went to choose our dessert from her at the bar , thank you for the great service and the toffee cake was amazing!!

Busy (still a few empty tables around though) but the service was pretty lazy. Loads of staff, maybe half of them just wandering around trying to look busy and doing nothing to manage the amount of people in the building. The queue for the carvery was all the way back to the front door and took maybe half an hour to go from the back to the front and that’s after waiting for 10 minutes to get served to get the ticket to get the carvery.

The portion was disgusting for the price and it was cold. I have photos if you want them

No extra Yorkshire I paid for no gravy with either meal all food was cold not happy at all for the money I spent very poor

Oh wow!!!!! A must stop for carvery lovers. Chloe was full of warmth as she paused what she was doing to serve us. Asked how many Yorkshire puddings we wanted and which meats. I was given a very generous serving of beef and turkey. We then moved on to the veg so many to choose from the roast potatoes were almost as good as my own. We sat down and began to eat our way through the mountain of delicious food on our plates Adam came along to check everything was ok and as there had been no one at the bar we asked him if we could get some drinks, he immediately apologised and went off to get them. He was both friendly and helpful. Thank you

Carvery was amazing for our family meal 😁

The staff are so lovely they can’t do enough for you. The gentlemen on the bar was so patient and welcoming. The serving staff were so accommodating and always are! The new menu is unreal we really enjoyed our dinner and deserts today. Be visiting more with the new menu!

Good food , excellent service from justine on food station . Bar staff speedy and efficient, clean and well maintained place

Food was lovely and fresh and red hot

Just been to holly tree with my daughter, to catch up with a friend and have a Carvey. The food was amazing as always. But Carla, the front of house staff was absolutely amazing. She greeted us as soon as we walked in. She went above and beyond to make us feel so so welcome and nothing was too much of a problem. She was awesome. Couldn't recommend her enough!!

A lady called Carla was amazing as soon as we walked in. Greeted us so well even served us at the till. Couldn't have done enough for me my friend and her little girl. Made sure everything was ok from start to finish. A great member of the team. Need more members to follow her customer skills.

Eat here 11/09/2024 5pm for grandaughters birthday, meal ordered gammon chips peas, gammon little tuff, peas bit dry, informed waitress when clearing table (CHARLENE ) who was most apologetic and polite she was very very helpful and couldn't apologise enough, she was even good with the children. If l should eat there again then I will do my best to look for Charlene to serve my meal. You need to get more people like Charlene 10/10 for her.

Large, spacious restaurant with kids area, carvery deck, dessert display and plenty of seating in and out. Unfortunately service really lets this place down. Ordered drinks on the app and had to wait 20 minutes to receive them. Went to bar to order food and despite having 6 or 7 staff around only 1 took orders and again it took 20 mins to get through a queue of 3 as they were doing food, drink and desserts. The meals for 4 came as a 2 and then 15 mins later the other 2 after asking as we watched other tables being served meaning we ate at different times and some of the food was hot and other bits cold so it had been sitting a while. Very disappointed, wouldn't recommend.

been here many times, and ordered for home many times. Today was the worst I have had. Stone Cold, 4 carrots, 6 green beans, 2 of the smallest ends of beef. It should not be called a carvery, but Parsnip & Stuffing. Really poor.

Disgusting , ordered online and have half of what I have when I go there for a NORMAL carvery , I’ve literally got a Yorkshire pudding and A HALF , one scoop of mash 5 green beans one scoop of pudding one scoop of mash and a little of the rest, for the price to order online anyone would be fuming to order from here it’s disgusting, we’ve rang 10+ time for no one to answer , we use to go there for a Sunday carvery every week, we r not anymore and we r sending on the message . Disgusting

Came for evening dinner at the Holly tree farm nottingham... Was very surprised to see a very very long que waiting to be served from the carvery , After a 45 min wait to be served at the carvery, there was alot of mess around the help your self to veg section, so messy that I could not put my plate down to help myself... Just before getting my lunch it was mention to a member of staff working within the area of the veg , that a member of public had been touching the veg, taking it off the spoon by their hands. The member staff walked away so another member the public told the manager and he came and replaced the spoons, didn't help. As well as the on the sides there was also veg, carrots and napkins on the floor that I had to step over. And to finish lunch off they gave me straws Half the size of my drink .. What a laugh ...

Food was cold missing a meat it looks like the food as been tampered with discusting

The food arrived piping hot, and was delicious, definitely recommend the beef & ale pie. My order was slightly incorrect but not the end of the world, as what did arrive was really tasty

Absolutely amazing service is second to none brilliant service from Carla and she couldn't help us enough has I brought my wheelchair dad in thanks you so much will be back

Just popped in for lunch. Thank you to the manager for sorting out my granddaughters meal. Everything was delicious and the service was second to none. Excellent all round.

I have been working locally for the last week. I have eaten here almost daily. The staff are very open and friendly. Close made feel welcome repeatedly. I ate several carveries and also had the breakfast buffet too. This is the 2nd time I have worked nearby and frequented the Holly Tree. It won't be the last, I am sure. Many thanks to all the staff for looking after me.

Sunday at Holly Tree Farm was bustling, emphasizing the need for reservations. We skipped the roast lunch due to long queues. The wine selection disappointed; the Rioja was stale, and the Merlot subpar. Only Green King was available on tap, and they ran out of old speckled hen bottles. The meals were mostly okay, including the gammon steak and hunters chicken. However, the Farmhouse chicken tikka masala was a disaster. It resembled a tasteless, watery soup with chicken bits, far from a proper masala. In a nutshell, my experience at Holly Tree Farm was a mixed bag. While some dishes impressed, like the gammon steak, others, such as the chicken tikka masala, missed the mark. Reservations are a must on busy days, and the drink selection could use improvement.

this is the worst Sunday dinner I've had from here small portions no mash two small bits of beef and one scraggy bit of turkey not good at all

We csme for breakfast staff were lovely but the food was awful. Over cooked and cold.

Charlene and the team were absolutely amazing. There were 10 of us as it was my nieces pre birthday meal and there wasn't anything they couldn't do to look afterus

Wrong items delivered they left a note on the bag saying wrong items so I can send photo and 2 missing meals and a missing side

Nice carvery but always forget stuff when ordering and get little no no meat

It's large enough that you feel away from the crowd..... the carvery is excellent, I like meat so I'm always a disappointed at how thin that guy can carve. But hey the veg more than makes up for it. The variety is vast and they have all the correct condiments. A plate of good food and a pint for £12. BTW don't get tempted with their deserts if you watching your waistline.

Excellent steak house style dining to be had,menu was great.something for everyone.

I would like to thank the member of Staff that helped me when I fell over two days ago I felt so embarrassed but the gentleman was so helpful I am very bruised but have to say that the food was delicious so I enjoyed prior to the fall definitely will come again.

I booked a table and ordered food which was supposed to be 15 minutes, actually took 45 minutes , food was bland when it arrived, staff weren't helpful I had to ask 3 different members before finally receiving anything to eat

Good food especially when the carvery is fresh out. The service is normally a little slow but only because they always seem understaffed. Not the employees fault

We were there later in the afternoon. The staff were washing and scraping old dried food from the self-service buffet and the remains of it fell on the food that was in the containers around the cleaning area. It was disgusting fortunately I didn't take any food from there and I don't even want to think that they served it to someone the next day

Blue light card not accepted on Sunday anymore 😪😪😪 Update Aug 2024: Got food poisoning eating off the regular venue. I don't think hygiene at this venue is good enough any more. Old review: Carvery is great and the buffet breakfast is too. At busy times ie sundays there can be a long queue but in my opinion it is worth waiting for. Prices are very reasonable and staff are always friendly and helpful. TIP: You can have as much as you want (they do not stop you getting more veg and gravy more than one time) and the staff will provide a takeout box for any leftovers! You can also have a side plate for your Yorkshire pudding and get more on your plate, then use the side plate to share some food with a child so you only pay for their drink!

Buffet breakfast is ok-ish. Not very warm as it clearly sits under the lights for hours

I had the carvery and didn't enjoy it at all as it had no flavour at all I had Turkey which tasted funny the gravy was tasteless the mash was tasteless. The pub its self was lovely nice play area for kids staff very very nice especially the fella behind the carvery I will return but will have food from menu next time

Having sent a lengthy complaint regarding cleanliness, staff behaviour, poor quality food and service, and highlighting a potentially violent outburst by other customers. The reply email was as quoted.. “ Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We will take your points raised and address them collectively” Poor quality, over priced and an all round negative atmosphere it’s not even worth raising complaints as this is the response you receive. AVOID AT ALL COSTS ATTEND SOMEWHERE ELSE!

I paid extra for pigs in blankets and Yorkshire but missing

The manager Elliot is amazing so polite and helpful. Played good music. And the cake selection is amazing

Very little meat & the tiny bit of beef was mainly fat / chewy ! Whole box was just mash potatoes

I booked a table for my husband's birthday when I got there they had put someone else on the table they put us in the family area where it was cold There was families there arguing among each other ( I didn't know I might have needed to take boxing gloves ) I had my 2 grandchildren with me at the time They aloud big kids in the play area and all they did was throw things around in there when there was little ones kids standing near your table and running round while you ate and shouting Spent over 180.00 for the meal and I feel the experience there was disgusting and it ruined my husband's meal out with the family fore his birthday they even got my daughter's meal mixed up and gave her a burger which was meat and she's a vegetarian

The quality of the food was poor. Have not been for about 8 weeks have you change chef and staff ,I had crispy chicken medly no coleslaw and a small amount of pepper sauce which made the meal very dry was toldif I wanted more there was a cost, always had extra in a sauce boat on the side my husband had hunters chicken bap small pieces of chicken not one piece and the bacon needed a magnifying glass to find the barbecue sauce was very thick and unpleasant. We have been coming for many years this looks like it will be the last so sad we have had some amazing meals

Big shout out to Elliot J and the blonde lady behind the bar (07/08 - so sorry I didn't catch your name). Great service from them both. Appreciate it, a gesture like that goes a long way, and we will continue to dine here.

It really has been a great pleasure to eat there, good product and an exquisite Korean barbecue sauce, please order it. The treatment of the girl with glasses was great and very fun...Thank you

Absolutely lovely staff, especially lexus and Charlene. Both lovely and made us feel so welcome. Food lovely as always, great chef too! I definitely recommend 👌 hopefully the great staff get acknowledgement x

My ploughman’s was amazing! They even allowed me to change the meat on it to one I preferred Kym also checked in on us to see how our food was! Amazing service so friendly and helpful

Reasonable prices , food was delicious, great for children has they have a free child play area

Enjoyed a lovely carvery meal with my family. Food was excellent and very good value. Staff are fantastic and so helpful Many thanks 😊

Mum's 90th Birthday lunch, great all round !

I had food poisoning from the carvary food, it’s so upsetting that I don’t even want to write this because I’ve alway loved a farmhouse carvary as I usually go to riverside but this is the first time I come to holly tree, I was poorly later on the day & throwing up constantly. I was in so much pain. Carvary was the food I’ve only ever food on that day.

Had a 2 course meal deal and it was really good. The fruit crumble and custard was amazing

had no Yorkshire puds and the new potatoes was black inside
