Nag's Head in Erewash

When this pub was being ran by Debs, it was great. It had a great atmosphere, fab people running it and the food was amazing. Since being taken over, it’s gone down hill. Frozen food, poor atmosphere, disco lights on a Saturday night (doesn’t suit the Nags) It’s now being taken over again, and the new person running this, will truly ruin this pub. Such a shame!

Good local pub who do a good varied selection of home cooked food

Good home cooked food. Good prices.

Amazing Sunday dinner definitely worth a visit

Lovely Sunday roast, friendly service, will definitely be back. Big portions couldn't manage a pudding ,but they looked amazing.

It was my sister in Law's birthday. There were 7 of us. This was our first time visit since the new owners have taken over. The food was great and plentyful great value for money. The staff and new owner are so friendly. We had a great night and we've already booked again for another birthday on the 27th.

What a gem of a pub. If you want a traditional pub, with home cooked food. Then this is the place. Excellent value for money. Friendly staff, even got a cupboard for dogs, with treats in. Well worth a visit.

We had Sunday lunch today everything was perfect the food was hot beautifully cooked and presented. The service was excellent. Can't praise it too highly .

Warm friendly staff...separate dining room with bar. Food ..choose pork chop with new potatoes peas plus black pudding with peppercorn sauce for my friend I choose no sauce was going to try & share...However sauce was so thick had to fork it out... no butter portion offered for potatoes or gravy. Chop cooked but so dry this would have benifitted with some gravy or the sauce to be pouring sauce. Hope my review helps you for your future customers who may choose this meal.

I had Gammon and egg with chips and salad, large portion and very tasty, my husband had steak and ale pie veg and chips, great portions for the price and both delicious. We will definitely be visiting again and the new owners are very welcoming, you must visit and try it for yourselves 😊

Really enjoyed our visit The food was lovely and we received a warm welcome .We look forward to the next time. Thank you to all the staff

The food is good and reasonably priced, and the staff are also pleasant and nice, good service we will certainly be going again

We had a lovely meal tonight at Nags . My partner had steak & Ale pie, Chips & Veg. I had veg lasagna, salad, garlic bread and chips. It was lovely so tasty, Best veg lasagna I had in a long time 😍. Atmosphere in the pub was great . All staff make you so welcome 🤗

Back again, we all couldn’t move with the amount of food we had, lovely steak 🥩 Great family run pub Thank you all

Lovely evening spent at the nags head in Sawley. Staff were very attentive. Service was good and the meal I had was delicious. Thank you.

Decent olde-style pub with nice staff. Real home-made food. Reasonable choice of standard ales, plus a couple of cask ales. Dog friendly. Outside area.

Don't know what to say to be honest

Sorry to say today's experience was bad overcooked omelette twice filling like a pizza topping. 8oz steak burger more like a 4 oz smash burger over cooked and dry. Cujin chicken as thin as a cracker and grilled to death. We have been patrons of the nags head but after what we were served today its in question. Plus 1 of the landlords stood right in front of us and didn't introduce himself. I wish the staff the best and hope they stop cutting corners with the food and deliver what we expect from this local stable.

Staff were lovely food was great lovely atmosphere thanks.

Great pub good selection of ale's home made meals very reasonable prices had a lovely time in here staff very nice and friendly too

First time going on the 21st Dec with ping pong team. Food was amazing, staff so friendly. Will be returning 😁😁

Great proper pub, staff are brilliant, great selection of beers

1st time here for a meal service 2nd to none very friendly food very tasty. We will return

We were squeezed in at short notice as a table for 8. Birthday banners were at our table as it was someone in our parties birthday, which I’d only briefly mentioned when booking. The food was superb, great value for money & all the staff were so friendly. Would highly recommend!

As always the food and service was excellent. There is a good variety of food at a reasonable price.

Friendly place to try, with a good selection of food. Tasty and dogs welcome, but for me, it was the real chips… awesome!

Always good pub to come to food is so good real home cooking

Stopped by for lunch and it was very good. Lovely friendly staff

Lovely meal and service, will be going back soon.

Went for a friend's party. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Great service all round

Really nice pub,seemed popular with locals.friendly atmosphere not the best beer choice though.

We took some friends for lunch yesterday. Another excellent lunch. It is so nice to have items on the menu which are different. It makes a great change from the pub chains which all offer very much the same, Eg. our maind courses were ham egg and chips, cottage pie , fish and chips and liver and onions . You could have had faggots - what a refreshing change . The sticky toffee pudding to follow was brill. You need to book and prices are very good . Drink the pedigree it is super.Excellent service well done all around.

Superb home-cooked food and friendly staff. Cannot fault the place, home-cooked steak and ale pie to die for ............. Thank you!

Relaxed atmosphere, quick service

We didn't get a chance to taste the food. Initially, we were moved from the empty lounge to the bar as the tables were reserved for later in the evening. We were assured that someone would come to take our order, but it took an hour. By then, we'd booked elsewhere.

Lovely staff, fantastic freshly cooked home style food at a very reasonable price

We arrived for food Saturday at 7.35 to be told food finished at 7.30. Your website clearly says 5-8 food served. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE.

Went for evening meal with my partner and daughter. The food, service and surroundings were excellent. A real traditional local public house that also does sumptuous food. Rob Kirkland

Stopped of to have a bite to eat had ham egg n chips just like mamma used to make egg done to perfection lovely meal ♡ Definitely recommend.

Traditional pub, excellent ales and exceptional home cooked food... The chef apologised that the steak had burst out of its pie case! You don't get that problem with shop bought pies.

Booked a table for 3 couples on a Saturday early evening and shared a meal with our very close friends. The service,food and price were all excellent and we enjoyed the occasion tremendously. We can't wait to visit again.

Lovely pub. Renowned for its amazing home cooked food. Lovely staff.

A Great Friendly Public House with Wonderful Staff and Really Welcoming.

Went in for lunch during the week. Most of the tables were pre-booked and was a great sign of the food to follow. Really excellent and good value too. We'll be back for sure!

Ate there yesterday for the first time. It definately wont be the last....amazing home cooked food and fantastic value....staff lovely and very obliging....highly recommended

Excellent food can't fault it excellent price too would advise to book before you go .very friendly bar staff and landlady.

Good solid pub. Great value lunch menu with fresh home cooked feel.

Lovely food . Lovely young waitress. Great atmosphere

Super traditional local pub - separate Bar and Lounge in the old fashioned way which I love! Pedigree and guest ale both good. Food menu looks okay and sensible prices; locals say its good but I haven't eaten there yet - will return to try.

Went for our annual cycling group Xmas meal! Small but very friendly pub with home cooked food. Great Xmas meal from friendly staff at a very reasonable price. Good well kept real ales!

Real nice atmosphere just popped in with my Girlfriend for a cheeky pint on Boxing day will definitely visit again 🙂🙂🙂

A very friendly down to earth pub, good honest food and well kept beer. We had a great x ma's meal which was great value.

What a surprise I'd never been there before, found really helpful friendly staff and atmosphere supported by wonderful quality of food and service very reasonably priced will definitely be going again many thanks 😊

Lovely home cooked food, pleasant staff we visit once a month it's great!!

Really great meal tonight. Lovely food great service and amazing value. Thanks to all staff

This is my local.We took some friends there yesterday and had lunch. It was excellent. Recommend you book.

I cant believe how rude the landlady is abusing customers who are supporting a local pub. I got called numerous offensive words for no reason and am truly disappointed with the way i've been treated. You should be ashamed by the way you treat customers. Im still in shock with how an owner can act and get away with just because its "her place".

Very good pub good food at low prices.

The wife and i have just had a meal in the nags head and it was proper home cooking. Everything cooked to order and was delicious. Top marks to the pub for the meals and the service was excellent too. Best meal in sawley by a long way

Food very good and staff were lovely

Lovely home cooked food at a reasonable price and friendly staff

Discussed rude waitress wants to learn some manners

Superb great staff and the food is fantastic and not expensive

Walked down from our boat at trent bridge best pub meal I've had in ages had the steak pie with chips and gravy would recommend

Lovely pub. Lovely staff.Two good lunches and two pints, £21 - £22. Highly recommended.

Proper traditional food and with welcoming service. Just wish all pubs were like this.

Friendly. Good price. Have small and normal size meals. Recommend

The presentation and quality and price of the food was outstanding.

Really nice home cooked food. I'd definitely recommend the sticky toffee pudding, some of the best I've had

First time we have been, it was recommended to us by our friends and we were very impressed with the standard of service and food and the prices were very good, we will definitely be going back

Friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff. Food home cooked and value for money. Excellent

I went here for my friend's birthday first time the food was absolutely excellent plenty of it and very good for value highly recommend it

I have just celebrated my birthday with 11 friends at the Nags and everyone of us enjoyed our meal. It was generous portions beautifully cooked at a reasonable price and we will all definitely return. Good old fashioned meals and delicious puddings.

The staff were very friendly, and helpful and everyone's food was great, huge portions. Mx

Warm friendly pub, a perfect place to have a nice pint and a lovely home cooked meal

lovely home cooked dinner definitely recommend it

Excellent little Pub, they have a very competitive menu and great staff.

Most expensive Carling in sawley. Smells of old chip fat and dogs.

Great pint and friendly bar staff

Visited the Nags head yesterday n a recommendation. Must say, We we’re not disappointed. Greeted at the door and shown to our seat, we were offered three different menus A list of specials, a light bites and a list of home cooked food. We decided on the home cooked menu and chose the 10oz t bone pork chop, the gammon and eggs and the homemade faggots all with homemade chips. The food arrived in good time and was piping hot. The pork chop was 2 inches thick and very succulent and accompanied by the thickest piece of black pudding ever, the gammon was beautifully cooked and had a hint of mustard and honey and the faggots were very tasty and well seasoned. The best bit of the evening was the wonderful homemade chips, big, chunky and very tasty. Service was excellent too and the prices were a bargain for the quality of the food. We’ll be going again soon

Went for a small get together with friends. Food outstanding and service first class. Would definitely recommend to a friend. 😊😊

I was one of a group of six (plus dog under table) there for a Christmas dinner, although I had the stake and ale pie with chips. It was excellent and obviously home made. As was the bead and butter pud! Service was friendly and well timed despite them being busy. I seldom write reviews but I thought they deserved the above. I shall return.

The pub has the air of being old fashioned and once you’re in there’s nothing wrong with that! Very traditional food cooked well for a price I’m more than happy to pay. Should serve for longer as there’s surely custom for such great food.

Great night. Food excellent a real surprise

Excellent beer,food even better and so much value!

Wonderful pub very friendly staff and landlady, the food is amazing and serves the best pint of pedigree for miles around would highly recommend you vist

It's a bit dead not may people go there.but not a bad pint

Nice pub, serves found, good menu, well cooked.

1st time been in, food looked nice, only stopped off for 1 drink

lovely little no frills pub with delicious home made food at a great price and the nicest staff you could wish for. I will definitely visit again when next in the area.

Only one person serving drinks and food. Waited an age for drinks had to cancel order in the end as taking too long and ran out of time.

Great to get out for a friendly pint and chat in a good local.

Went out for a belated works Xmas n birthday drink Saturday. We was made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The waitress/ bar lady arranged the tables so we could seat 6. Not a problem for them. Drinks brought to us quickly and efficiently. Will definitely call again! Thank u x

Same great food, drink and service as before the lockdown!
