Nicholson's Bar and Diner in Nottingham

Just walked past. Currently closed with no notices 🤷🏻‍♀️ Edit for clarity: Originally posted yesterday - I checked Google maps and the website, both show an opening time of 11am. I tried the door - closed and locked. Hung around until 11:30 and gave up. Hence the 🤷🏻‍♀️

Much too small of a space to offer food. Don't bother without a reservation. Impossible to get a spot to eat. I suppose that makes sense, as a pub its number one priority would be catering to the prevalent drinking culture

The food was great but took a very long time to come. We also waited about half an hour for our drinks. There were only a few other people there so I couldn’t see a reason for the delay.

Had a nice time here. Would come again

Popped in here while having a few days away on London , great bar for watching sport , and they had the Newcastle match on , TV’s at both sides of the pub so great viewing .. good little boozer, good selection of beers , and good service ..

I only go on my experience but we were waiting a long time for our plates to be cleared whilst alot of chatting was going on amongst staff The food was nice but didn't have what we wanted

Lovely pubs in Covent Garden,would thanks to ginevra,she is super helpful & friendly with us!

Great historical pub and warm welcome atmosphere.

For a central London pub it is good! The location is right by Charing cross station so great as a meeting place for colleagues and friends. Seating is a bit tight downstairs but that's in the British pub tradition.

Great meal, the traditional fish and chips was super good and plentiful! The waitress is pleasant. My mother was allergic and they are very careful about allergies. Go there with your eyes closed Thank you for this moment 😊

Great atmosphere, clean, great service and the food was superb. Will definitely be back.

Typical cuisine, traditional meat pies are delicious. There is a children's menu and we can serve you early. The waitresses are very kind. Thank you for your welcome

Great little pub near embankment and they have Cali Pale on draught too

Everything was lovely. Staff food atmosphere

Lovely pub to spend the evening drinking and enjoying some nibbles. Our sever Alison was very polite and gave us a great service. A bit noisy but apart from that I love it 🥰 will definitely return xx

Staff, both bar and security, are fantastic, prices are what you would expect for Central London but the service makes up for it. Definitely coming back 👌

Eveyrthing is alright but thier Guinness doesn't tasted good. I was sturggling to finish my pint.

Nice pub with a good atmosphere and good service

It’s £7.20 for a pint of Madri. MADRI! Not some exclusive craft beer, a mass produced cheap lager. This pub is in the centre of London and its prices explain why it was so quiet on a sunny Sunday evening. A horrible rip off.

Great and amazing service from you guys, thank you Alison and Josh “as late find your name”, for making our day better and highlight, by being really helpful of recommending the best beer/wine and one of the healthiest food ever from a pub. Really enjoyed, and love to hear that one of my fav “The Jungle Book”, have been wrote between those walls ☺️😇 Compliments to the chefs, for going beyond and delivering such an excellent meal ☺️

Amazing food - went here because of the good gluten free reviews. They asked me if I would like them to clean utensils for them in the kitchen to ensure no contamination. They gave me a separate menu to look at which detailed the allergies for each option. Really recommend!

Delicious and reasonably priced food in a very nice atmosphere

All the years I've passed this pub on the way to the station. I decided to go and try it and it was better than I expected.

The service is terrible and I had stuff floating in my water. We waited for 20 minutes for our waiter to even come talk to us initially.

A meal before seeing I play in the west end. Nice history relating to Rudyard Kipling. The food and cask beer was good with a great choice.

Not a bad place. Limited service due to events in the area though. Want easy to find a seat and could not use upstairs unless dining. Maybe will try again another day.

Stopped here after Australian consulate

An olde worlde pub on the outside and a bright modern pub on the inside. The barman was very helpful (unlike the manager) and cheerful. This is not an overly large bar and the tables were fairly tightly packed around the walls but there is more seating upstairs. The Guinness was excellent as was the London Pride

Good pub for stopping off for pre-drinks. Excellent range of beers with a very well curated pint of pride. Food is average pub fayre, not exciting but not off-putting. Often crowded on "event" type days, but fits the bill for a proper London boozer.

Lovely old pub great atmosphere

A Cool please to relieve ones mind from the working day dilemmas.

I feel embarrassed i went here its basically a pub to scam tourists , The food is super overpriced and then you have to play a huge service fee on top, i don't mind paying service at a restaurant but not a dirty smelly pub where the server drops a drink on your foot and then charges you £15 for service fee for the pleasure

I must say, the food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish we tried was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and flavor. The ingredients were fresh, the preparation was meticulous, and the presentation was beautiful. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience

Nice place to be after work. Limited types of beers served. Nachos was the only food that we asked for, which wasn't as spicy as Mexican restaurants offer.

I've visited this pub on a few occasions when in London as it is always very friendly and provides a traditional pub experience. During my most recent visit I dined with the family for the first time and I was extremely impressed with the quality of pie and mash. Great value for money and a lovely spot for lunch. As mentioned this wasn't my first visit to this pub and I highly doubt it will be my last. The Guinness is great too 👍

Nice watering hole right near charing cross station, very handy when you've missed your train. Like most places, or so it seems, could do with more staff on. We went in just after 14.00, and there was only 1 member of staff serving behind the bar and waiting tables.

Great meeting place close to Charing Cross station. Good selection of beverages. Food is available either dining or pub grub at bar. Music 🎶 would recommend

Terrible experience this afternoon, turned over the Grand Prix mid way through the race, refused to turn it back over even though the other two televisions were already showing football. Refused a refund when we asked as the only reason for ordering was we were watching the race. Horrible attitude, and horrible customer service

Love it here! Staff are friendly

Love this place. With most of the surrounding watering holes becoming pretentious plastic posing palaces, this pub has the warmth of traditional wood. This gives it a fantastic feel to it and you sense there's a history here that has been driven out of other venues. I've not tried the food, but the plates served to other customers looked very good and I did not see any unhappy faces from those that were eating. This is very much my kind of place. Long may it continue.

Good selection of beers and food

Excellent, like all the pubs in the Nicholson's chain, they never disappoint! The welcome is very warm, the staff are really very friendly, the food is excellent, I tried the Nicholson's fish & chips, it's absolutely mouth-watering, served with mashed peas and tartar sauce, the beer is also excellent. The restaurant room is upstairs, much quieter than the room downstairs which is only used for drinking and chatting. On the website of the Nicholson's chain, in addition to photos and a detailed menu, there is also the possibility of booking a table.

Visited in February 2015. Busy and crowded pub with a decent selection of cask and keg brews. I only had one pint because I didn’t want to stand while drinking. Might visit again.

Nice pub Good selection of beer

A typical English pub with atmosphere and craft beer. We took shelter here from the rain. The weather explains why there are so many pubs on this beautiful land. The theory was confirmed by a very nice bartender. The guy, an Englishman from Manchester, was telling us in poor Polish what a "chip with milk" tastes like. They serve food on the first floor.

Nice cozy pub near Charing Cross.

Nice atmosphere and fast service on a Monday night

We went there for lunch and they were extremely slow! Normal quality and very watered down coffee.

The pies were delicious and Mark and his team were all very friendly and attentive. This was our second visit and we’ll definitely be back in the Summer! 🥧🥧🥧

Visiting the Nicholson's pub, was an experience I'll cherish for a long time. This place is not just a pub; it's a warm embrace of tradition and hospitality that leaves you feeling like royalty. With its rich, historical ambiance and impeccably polite staff. The interior boasts classic, elegant decor that pays homage to the pub's storied past, all while offering the comfort and warmth that one seeks in a local pub. The staff are the heart and soul of the Prince of Wales - friendly, attentive, and always on hand to ensure your experience is nothing short of perfect. Their knowledge of the menu and drinks selection is impressive, providing personalized recommendations that enhance your visit. Now, food particularly Nicholson’s Burger. Calling it "delicious" would be an understatement. This burger is a culinary masterpiece, featuring a succulent, perfectly cooked patty, layered with the finest, freshest toppings, all encased in a soft, yet sturdy bun that holds everything together beautifully. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, making it clear why this burger is a highlight of their menu. Paired with their selection of ales, it's a match made in heaven.

Perhaps terrible luck, but three times I asked for different plates and three times they came back to tell me they didn't have it right now.

Nice little boozer in the middle of town, big screens with sport on brill

Very nice pub, pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food...👍🏻

Varied and typical English food. Very very delicious, it escapes a bit from fast food and it is a quiet and very pleasant place. We have come with children

Nice traditional pub, liked that the dining room was separate upstairs as quieter. Friendly staff and really good food especially the pies, only negative was a bit overpriced.

Waiting for food is way too long, over one hour, tables before us got served before, have to stop waitress to ask for drink, staff is not looking after customers, later after 70 minutes half of the table got the food and the other half was still waiting

Food was good. Highly recommend the Nicholson Burger. Would definitely return next time I am in the area.

Comida variada, con platos típicos ingleses, muy recomendable tanto por el sabor, calidad, precio y trato. Dos ambientes: zona de pub tradicional y en la primera planta zona para cenar.

Μια παραδοσιακή παμπ! Φάγαμε στον επάνω όροφο που είναι πολύ ωραία διακοσμημένος! Φάγαμε fish and chips και ήταν πεντανόστιμα! Το προσωπικό εξαιρετικό, τα κορίτσια ήταν φιλικά και εξυπηρετικα! Μείον οι τουαλέτες.

My husband ordered a traditional dish in London fish and chips and I choose a beef pie, the menu brought the advertisement about their famous pies ... and yes it was absolutely delicious.

Great table service from Cerys. The chicken and mushroom pie was delicious!

Had a great experience trying this prized pie!

A beautiful and traditional pub in the center of London!! The selection of beers is perfect...We had a great time and Varun is so kind. Go and visit this beautiful pub!

I had a fantastic birthday celebration this Saturday at the York, Clare and her excellent team provided a spectacular afternoon, my friends from up and down the country said they loved the atmosphere of the pub immediately as you enter, they conveyed to me and also to Clare how they thought the service and food was fantastic. I recommend this to anyone wanting to celebrate any occasion. Phil

More than decent. Thrills without too many frills. I ruddy love it.

The food and restaurant were both above average.

8 of us arrived at about 12:15 and told to sit downstairs. For some lunch & drinks. We ordered our food. That didn't arrive for over an hour? One was a salad?There was nobody in the pub. Service very slow. The staff seemed to be disgruntled. The only good thing was Madri beer. We won't be coming out

La serveuse n’était vraiment pas agréable , la nourriture non plus , le poulet trop cuit, la salade à l’avocat sans avocat ! La salade avec du riz brun dans riz brun ! La cuisine une vraie blague !!! Cependant le lieu est sympa pour boire un verre

Loved the atmosphere in this place

Excellent food and service! This will definitely be a “go-to” Pub every time we visit London!

Had to clean our own table.... Staff that was more busy with their phones than attending to guests. Toilets were so dirty you wouldn't let a homeless person visit there....

Dennis is absolutely wonderful! Fantastic service, and an awesome pub!

First time here. Just happened across it on way to theater. Great pub! Great beer! Great atmosphere! My wife and I were in London for one day and wanted fish and chips and they did not disappoint.

Great restaurant v happy with the food n drink

Delicious ethnic British food. Seems like a hidden gem above another restaurant. We got the Landlords platter appetizer and some fish pies. Everything had a ton of flavor. Great and attentive service. We were put in kind of a cramped and tiny table in the corner, but that's just the layout of the building. The restaurant itself has a great small homey vibe.

The place and the food are great here. I stopped by during my trip in London last week. The guy and her colleague( Lucy I think, very cute by the way) were great and funny. Definitely a place to go.

Great experience! The pub is authentic and give you a good time with family and friends! We arrived without any booking but was 2pm on Monday bank holiday! The food was great and so where the drinks! Was good to see also a variety of no alcoholic beers 🍻!! The menù has what you would expect from a pub with also a well indication allergies and vegan/vegetarian options. There are seats upstairs as well in a quiet area that can be reserved for particular events! Everything was clean (including the toilets) 👍

Nettes Pub! Essen war sehr gut! Nette, freundliche Bedienung!

Super leckeres, authentisches Essen und gutes Bier. Der Mitarbeiter im Service war alleine, obwohl der Laden voll war, was zu längeren Wartezeiten geführt hat - er war aber trotz des Stresses sehr freundlich.

Amazing all round, Snitzel was perfect!

My husband had a great idea of eating here after the theater. Food, service and Pimms the best.

I nostri hamburger hanno fatto il giro del pub quando sono arrivati al tavolo erano freddi abbiamo chiesto di rifarceli ma loro i camerieri ridendo c’è li hanno riscaldati e riportati con gli hamburger secchi/ stracotti 16 sterline e ci hanno preso in giro. Quindi se venite qui chiedere lì hamburger al sangue ma se non venite è meglio

The 🍟 is no fresh and is very brown color.

my friend and I liked the service and the food , a fairly large selection at reasonable prices . I especially want to note the cozy design of the room

It’s a very quaint and charming upstairs dining room. The service folks are lovely and the food was absolutely amazing!!! Order the chicken schnitzel, one of the best I’ve had and the fish and chips were also great.

delicous beer with sweet bitter taste 😁

Wonderful food and pints, and friendly staff for an American family craving the British pub experience. Highly recommended!

Do not order salmon and dill fish cakes. Absolutely disgusting hard crusted tiny balls that were hollow inside and tasteless. Said it was served with herded baby potatoes, but it was regular boiled potatoes squashed with not any herbs! Only 2 golf ball sized inedible. Could have played golf with these.

It's a pretty good place, people are very king and it's delicious 😋

Bier war lecker. Ohne Reservierung haben wir nach kurzer Zeit einen Sitzplatz bekommen.

Asked where to great the best Fish and Chips in Windsor, was told The Carpenter Arms Pub. They were amazing fresh flaky and hot. Staff and bosses where very friendly and checked on us. Great location too. Right next to castle.. We love London

Just visited the Pub for a lunchtime drink and a bite to eat. The welcome and service we're first class. When I went to the bar I was greeted by a very friendly polite & professional bar person called AJ. She talked me through all of the beers available and helped me decide on my purchase.. we have been In London for the weekend and have had some awful service. AJ you have restored my faith in the Service industry. You should get a job training bar staff on customer service Well done.

Comida muy rica, lugar acogedor pero el servicio es lento, puedes estar perfectamente dos horas para cenar. Lo recomendamos pero ir con tiempo.

Good food. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Great warm vibe on a rainy day. Great beer and a cool history.

Leuk café jammer van die 5 vervelende vrouwen die straal bezopen achter me aan het feesten waren…

Gutes Essen, freundliches Personal, gutes Preis- & Leistungsverhältnis.

Un sitio muy chulo que merece la pena tomar algo

Coole Bar, sehr angenehm für einen kleinen Drink. War nicht so überfüllt wie die meisten Bars in London.

Only had reduced fat milk to make a latte, however it was well made. Would have prefered whole milk "full fat". The mac and cheese balls were *good* but I think I should have ordered the bowl of mac and cheese for a better experience. The batter/crumbs on the balls just seemed like too much breading although the mac and cheese inside was awesome. Next time I would order the mac and cheese entrée. They have a convenient location right outside the London Bridge tunnel stop, and just outside is a great view of the Thames and easy access to the Uber boat ride (do this!)
