Nurseryman in Broxtowe

Went for Sunday lunch. Staff nice. Food took an age to arrive. I had ‘roast pork’ which was cheap pork drowning in thick gravy with undercooked vegetables. A stupidly large and very dry Yorkshire pudding was dumped on top. The food was lukewarm too. Just awful and reminiscent of school dinners in the 1970s. Left half of mine as it was so rank. Also no lock on toilet cubicle in Gents. A soulless and tasteless experience. Avoid.

We ate at the Nurseryman last night to celebrate a friends 70th birthday. The food was good but the best bit was the staff. So kind and helpful all through the evening. They are a real credit to the pub. Thank you for all your hard work

We enjoyed super tasty food and great service from the super friendly and efficient Artur - we enjoyed it very much and will be back 😀

Fantastic service, thank you Artur for putting up with our many questions and add ons. Everyone was lovely and the food was amazing. We had tump steak and a mixed grill, steaks cooked perfectly and all tasted delicious. Definitely would recommend 👍💚

Absolutely amazing service and food for my daughters 18th birthday. I can't thank the staff enough, the food was excellent. I will definitely be coming back, I can't recommend this place enough 😊

Been here a number of times in the past & always enjoyed it, but the food on this occasion was definitely not gourmet ribeyes, or succulent burgers, as stated in the pub information, & the fajitas were awful, it was like chicken dippers on a bead of onions & peppers . One of our starters came out wrong so had to wait 15 mins for another one to arrive so the rest of the group had finished theirs by the time it came out ,luckily this was removed from the bill. The quality of the food did not justify the prices for each meal, as other Green King pubs do the same meals for much less . We don't mind paying for quality, but sadly on this occasion we did not get that ,but in the past we have had much better so hopefully this was a one off. I must mention that the staff are lovely here though, we will return but choose dishes that in the past have been better.

Went for breakfast today with a friend and the food was lovely good value for money and piping hot staff really pleasant and helpful

Now the sunshine is making an appearance, we are getting to enjoy the lovely new garden outside again! A little premature as it was still a bit chilly 🥶 We love coming here. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is always spot on! We had a burger and a roast dinner, and which came out quickly, hot and tasty! Plenty of food on the plate, and nice fresh vegetables served with the roast! Highly recommend to anyone who’s thinking of popping in! You won’t be disappointed !

Haven't been to this pub for 20 years. I took my wife for her birthday lunch. We really enjoyed the experience. The food was good and service excellent. Big thankyou to Niamh for looking after us.

We've visited the nurseryman on several occasions and never had a bad experience so decided to book for my husbands 40th birthday meal, when we arrived we we're shown to our table, we waited ages for our drinks to be served then we had to look for the waitress to order our food, once we ordered we then waited almost an hour for our food!! Ordered another drink whilst we waited which again took forever to come! Once the food arrived it was cold, the onion rings were very over cooked, items missing from the ultimate burger dish, which was my husbands meal! The hunters chicken dish was rock solid, The whole experience today was disgusting and totally ruined my husbands birthday meal, its safe to say we will not be returning!!

Had the best time here again! The team are always so lovely, and can’t do enough for us! The only thing they ever ask for in return is a review! Which I am always happy to do! This is a good pub, with hot tasty food, and amazing staff! I’ve never had a bad experience here and I’ve been coming for years!

Took a group of 20 for festive Christmas lunch. Had been previously, so knew what to expect. Everything was ready as expected. Meal rather slow in coming, but all good.

Second review of the Nurseryman and it was spot on again. Nice food, good atmosphere and attentive service. Plenty of parking too. Recommended

Our son started at the University of Nottingham in September. Since he moved into the halls just down the road, we have used the Nurseryman every time we have visited him. It now feels like our local even though we live over 50 miles away. My son and his friends at Uni have even started to go down there for a treat. On every visit, we have found the food to be brilliant, the pub itself to have a lovely relaxed feeling to it and the staff are excellent. Tonight we were served by Niamh and Artur (10th Feb) who were so lovely, checking on how we are and even keeping us up to date with the rugby scores! Have booked for Mother's Day and looking forward to it already. Thanks everyone at the Nurseryman

What a lovely experience 🙂 We’d actually booked to go somewhere else but then remembered it was Rugby so it wasn’t suitable as it was for a 10th birthday . Decided last minute to book a table through the website and wrote in the additional requirements that it was a 10th birthday & if they had any decorations could they dress the table - didn’t think for one minute they would . Yes they did 🫶 . Thank you so much for that , meant so much and made a little girl feel very special even though she had a shy moment . Food was lovely, nothing was too much trouble . Steak was cooked to perfection as was the chicken fajitas and hunter’s chicken (an old family favourite of ours) kids food was lovely a little glitch but was rectified without any problem . Deserts nicely presented and my blue light discount added and additional nice suprise. Lovely welcome from front of house lady (I’m sorry didn’t get your name) & also thank you to Fiona . Defo be back ….

This is the first time here in a long time and from walking through the door to leaving the whole experience was fantastic. Love the decor and all the little sections it was warm and inviting. The gentleman who took our order drinks first gave...

Good food and environment but what made our trip was the lovely waiting staff Niamh & Arthur. Always smiling and fantastic interaction with all our family making us feel so welcome. They are a credit to this restaurant.

Place was nice and the food was great but most importantly, Kelly. Kelly made our trip more special and it would have been average without her. Thanks to Kelly for a great day. 10/10 for Kel. The others were nice too.

Lovely service by Stacey and Chloe. The food was really good, the dessert was 👌 Nice place to go for dinner with friends and family.

Great pub food followed by a beautifully presented bake well tart by Chloe!! The menu catered for my gluten intolerance with many choices and Stacey informed me about all the ingredients which made me feel confident enjoying my meal.

Got lovely service form Stacey, the lasagna was very good and the sticky toffee pudding by chloe was delicious

Kelly was our waitress. She was really awesome. She took good care of us and very accommodating of our special circumstances. We always eat here. The food is great and all the staff make us welcome every time.

Nurseryman do a good value menu at lunchtime served until 5pm if you order a main meal get a dessert for £3, my parents & husband all had a two course for roughly a tenner (what's not to like!) The problem is that there isn't...

Alice served us with a smile and was so helpful and friendly. She made the experience, so nice to be back after lockdown. Many thanks

Went to the nurseryman with some friends. Service was great, very attentive, Jamie in particular was a top man! Yeah f you go, try the banoffee pie!

Where do I begin. Well for starters I have been to this pub many times. Usually the service is stellar. The staff tick every boxes. But today let list off what was wrong. No checkbakc on our food. Lack of communication between FOH and BOH...

Happened to be passing and thought I’d give it a try. Had a fabulous fillet steak. Great beer and service too. Highly recommended!

great food, lovely staff and wonderful atmosphere. reasonably priced and good quality food. Nice to find such a welcoming place

Went for a quiet meal with family on Thursday evening around 7pm and couldn’t fault it. Had a waitress called fiona, couldn’t fault her she went out her way with everything we asked for. Defently be visiting again

I went to this restaurant for a quiet meal and I found the place to be clean friendly and the food was amazing the waitress we had was very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us to make sure our visit and service was amazing her name is Fiona

Visited for Sunday lunch today. I had beef with all the trimmings (as they advertise) the Yorkshire pud needed a pair of scissors to cut through but generally ok but not value for money in my opinion. The real gripe was my husbands hunters chicken meal. 9 chips (not full chips) so estimate approx. 6, brown, curled up lettuce (not salad please note- just lettuce - tipped from an old bag of Tesco’s with the look of it! When bought to the waitresses attention she said ‘is that what they’ve bought you?’ I will get some more chips, which she did bless her and she informed us she eats at another restaurant nearby where they serve ‘lovely meals’ Overall poor quality & not at all value for money. Won’t return.

Popped in for a bit of lunch on the spur of the moment and any expectations were exceeded. The menu was varied and really good value for money. We chose the garlic bread, salmon fillet, steak and ale pie and beef chilli. All were cooked really well and very tasty. My grandson chose chicken pasta from the kids menu and it couldn’t have been presented better. There were individual pots of cheese, chopped tomato sauce and peas to add to the dish and the chicken chunks were really meaty and not overcooked. We all had wine and beer and the whole meal for four only cost about £47. Really attentive service and friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

our booking was at 12.30 it’s wasn’t very busy. meal was for 4people £50 each + a free bottle of Buck’s Fizz was offered for an early booking. Had to ask re buck fizz he said he would check, he disappeared we received the meal and had to enquire again for the Buck’s Fizz we then received a bottle of prosceco which was served by a very pleasant young man. Three Starters came after a long wait the 4th eventually arrived. Main course no gravy only on one meal so we asked the waitress for some which she never brought after waiting 10mins went to find another waitress for some by this time my meal was cold. Husband meal was served with potatoes and 4 Brussels which were hard and tasted awful the rest of his veg was missing but he had a least plenty of gravy. Dessert also incomplete raspberry missing. Had to ask for the cheese which was slung on the table with the mince pies which made the plate bounce on the table. The attitude of the waitress who served us our main course and dessert was awful. At no time were we asked it our meal was okay. I appreciate that the staff are under a lot of pressure on Christmas Day, but someone should check the meals leaving the kitchen and make sure that courses are complete and that we were happy. At least they should be served professionally and with good customer service and not with the attitude that they didn’t want to serve you.All in all for £50+ each for four people the customer service and the lack of vegetables and the taste of the meal it was very disappointing. Would not book again.

We had the Christmas Fayre menu and it was excellent value for money and the food was really good. We had excellent service from Stacy who looked after us so well and a special mention for the non plastic Christmas Crackers - well done !

Such a shame. We had a festive meal here recently and my meal was a real disappointment. My nut roast was burnt and inedible. My potatoes were stale :( It was a nice atmosphere though and felt festive. They always make a fuss of our dog here and give him treats :)

We were celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday and had a lovely meal. 3 of us had Sunday dinner, the other 3 had burgers which all went down well.

We were staying at the travel lodge and decided to walk here to have a quick bite to eat and were very pleasantly surprised. The food was great and the staff were wonderful too. I had mac and cheese and my partner had halloumi fajitas. Great meals at very reasonable prices

Hi. Monday 13th we visited the Nurseryman at Beeston. on entering the nurseryman we selected our seats near the window. not long after the waitress came to take our order and was very pleasant. after a good drink and a natter the waitress ( Kelly ) was back again with our hot food which looked very good, during the meal Kelly came over to us twice to see if the meal was ok and asked us if we wanted more drinks which i did. not long after the barman brought my drink to me,

We love the Nuseryman, however our last visit was not the best. The food was very good when it came, but we felt the staff were too busy resetting emply tables, and ignoring their relatively few customers. Come on management. The facilities are good and parking is almost always available

Went here yesterday, after waiting 10minutes for no one to seat us staff just walking by we seated ourselves and ordered food... and on the mix grill to find a mouldy tomato. Which clearly means no ones checking the food absolutely vile!

Food has improved no end. Food was delicious and fresh. We even got 33% off with a voucher. Took our dog here for lunch and he always gets a big fuss made of him haha. He likes the treats and we like the gin selection :)

Visit here on the off chance after returning from a day out and was very surprised by the value for money would definitely recommend

We visited on steak night, which promised to be delicious (on reading the menu). We ordered sirloin, with skin-on seasoned chips, garlic roasted vine tomatoes and chargrilled peppers. What we actually got was a few skinny fries, a regular tomato (no evidence of it being garlic roasted) a quarter of red onion (slightly charred but mainly raw) and two pieces of pepper that had quite obviously just been shown the grill as they were also raw!! The steak was tough and if anyone had shown us the courtesy to ask how our meal was, we would’ve told them so, but nobody did - not even at the end of the meal. We most certainly won’t be returning for this type of rip-off meal and terrible service.

We went here as a group of 10 last weekend. The service was great, especially as there were so many of us. The children’s meals were well cooked and quite generous which was great. Our Sunday roasts were spot on and the steak sandwich was delicious. The only disappointment was the nachos. They are ok if you just want plain ones but the chilli/ pulled pork option is a token gesture as there is hardly any on there. I wouldn’t order those again. That said, everything else was great:)

Lovely lively restaurant that accommodated our large German shepherd. Lots of vegetarian options and extremely friendly staff! Thank you Ross :)

I last visited The Nurseryman a few years ago but for some unknown reason haven't been for a while, until today. I went with a group of friends and had a very enjoyable lunch. The atmosphere is light, airy and very pleasant and the service very good. I was delighted to find there was a selection of Vegetarian choices available and as a starter I had the Mushrooms with Stilton in a Peppercorn sauce which was tasty. As a main course I had the Halloumi Fajitas which was beautifully presented and really enjoyable. Good sized portions too, very filling. I can recommend and will return.

We came here with some friends for a baby shower : the place was really nice, we got a full room for us. The food looks nice, though we only had dessert (cookie dough cheesecake highly recommended!). Staff very friendly : special thank to Ross for his kindness and fun attitude!

Went here for a surprise baby shower. The staff were very helpful and got our orders out in good time. Ross in particular was very friendly and helpful. The food was good, nice steaks, and really nice desserts!

We had a family Sunday lunch here for 9 people. The food was very good and the desserts gave a fantastic choice!

We booked a window seat table for 7.30pm and on arrival was shown to our table by a pleasant young lady. The pub has recently been redecorated and is much more welcoming than previously. We ordered our meal from a charming young man called Ross who also delivered our food and made sure everything was as ordered. We ordered squid and prawn cocktail which were quite acceptable and for our main course we ordered fish and chips and curry. The fish and chips was very good but the curry was fairly bland and a little disappointing. Overall this is a fairly good place to call in for reasonably priced pub food.
