NURSERYMAN in Broxtowe

Good pint of Guinness and a very good steak - highly recommend. Staff friendly, overall a very nice experience

Lovely friendly family areas. Super staff. Scrummy food. Good prices. Lots of safe parking space.

Food delicious. Steak tender and cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Ruby, was polite & helpful. Will be back for more appetising food soon

Steak was like leather, ended up leaving after we couldn’t chew it. Poor customer service, complained to the waitress but the manager should have stepped in. Only took the steak away, what’s that about? Felt guilty about bringing it to their attention.Offered 20% discount which I refused, just a shrug of the shoulders from the waitress. Still deducted it from the bill, why don’t people listen. Wouldn’t have taken a free meal from them, they miss the point, it’s not about the money. Don’t expect to hear further on the matter. Allowed to leave disappointed with a place we’ve used often. I can no longer recommend this restaurant.

it's been some time since I last visited here. I decided to try the Sunday Roast which was at best average for the price paid. The beef which was supposed to be served pink was overdone and tough, perhaps in hindsight it would have been better to stick with the grilled food offerings. Sorry to say will not be returning.

Was greeted from the door with a smile and we were quickly seated. The pub was very busy and our order was taken quickly. The food came at an almighty speed, the quickest I have ever had! The drinks followed shortly behind. We had 3 beef Sunday roasts, which were delicious and a generous portion. Highly recommended and you can use Blue Light discount at all times.

Pathetic, you can count the vegetarian meal options on one hand however when mine came out it still came as the beef option instead of the veggie one I ordered. Prices are laughably high and quality is low. Greene King corporate rubbish completely bleaching all care and personality out of the great British pub experience.

Excellent food with a friendly smile

Staff were all excellent, food excellent also , my mum had an amazing 90th birthday celebration and we are booking again as 26 people in our party were very pleased with the food and service.

Went in today as a group of 4. The service was OK, it was pretty busy with not many staff on duty. Food was pretty poor, The chips were soggy and limp, it was very obvious the oil was not up to temperature before the chips were cooked. Steak was tough. The smallest piece of gammon and the egg was hard (over cooked or left under the serving lights too long) The sharing platter was also very poor, again soggy items that should have been in a crispy batter coating. It was all very disappointing.

Good food and efficient service. Called on off chance with the dog. Easily seated in the bar. Our food arrived quickly and the service was lovely.

Very welcoming food was delicious! Definitely our go to now! Thankyou

Very welcoming, food was delicious! Clean and spacious, Definitely our go to now! Thankyou for a lovely experience Thankyou

A superb place to eat, especially if you are a celiac. We went with a newborn and toddler and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Thank you for your help and support.

Dropped in with 1 friend on a Friday lunch time. Not taking drop ins due to a function that day. Couldn't even squeeze in 2 regular customers for lunch. I will rethink future lunch and dinner plans. Disappointing!!!

Katie served us on table 54. Katie was polite, patient and friendly. Checked in on us frequently asking how our food was and if we needed anymore drinks. We were served promptly and food was all as expected. No complaints.

I love my family's local pub, I've been going here now since I was 18 lol a long time. Seen different managers, but it's always such a lovely atmosphere, food is lovely, the staff are friendly , nice garden area and massive carpark with a bus stop just outside , perfect place all round

Christmas Menu - Great food and choice. Price was particularly good on Boxing Day. Staff were lovely as usual

Had a large family group visit which was pre-booked for 6pm. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find some of our tables, which had reserved notices on then, already occupied - this was despite the pub not being busy - and we had to ask the bar staff to politely move them. My biggest issue, however, was with the food service. Most of our group ordered from the menu, but having ordered our 2 mains first, was disappointed to see many others being served before us. Patience finally ran out, and I had to ask where our food was - 45 minutes wait under the circumstances was not acceptable- and within 5 minutes of asking, our food eventually arrived, without a hint of an apology, which again, was disappointing. It did seem that the food had been left, and was awaiting for someone to ask about it. We could have understood if the pub was incredibly busy, but it wasn't.

Great food and atmosphere. Service by Katie was very friendly and prompt.

Unimpressed service not that good Ordered salmon salad x 2 came without salmon Ordered large glass of wine Cane in half pint glass No wine glassss

Called on the way home from the cinema and got seated straight away. Lovely food and great table service welcoming and polite.

As always with the Christmas day at the Nurseryman, the service, the food and the atmosphere was fantastic We love spending/sharing our Christmas day with you 1 point that let them down this year though, we always finish with a liquor coffee. So we asked our server for one... the bill turned up before the coffee (that's fine) we had been charged for a coffee and an orange jamesons. We asked for an Irish coffee To add insult to injury of being charged for the coffee (coffee was inc with the dinner, although seems not many tables actually got the tea or coffee) the liquor coffee arrived, in a normal coffee cup with a jug of milk. To be honest, we laughed. It was funny. It didn't ruin the day or experience at all, maybe we are old and some training of old fashioned drinks might be needed (I realise you can't train for everything!!)

Friendly service and nice pub food.

Lovely food. Polite staff. Great options. Suitable prices. Beautiful atmosphere. We had the table booked and prepared for us and we were greeted with a smile throughout the visit. Thank you for the nice experience.

We had a lovely dinner there today and the food was so good, cooked with care and passion. Thank you for the lovely atmosphere and the nice dinner

Visited nurseryman with my sisters for some after work catch up grub the food was alright and was relatively quick but Kelly made the whole experience top par. Quick service and happy can’t ask for more of an amazing experience. Will definitely return just because Kelly was sooooooo good :)

Celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday, the food was excellent and the room welcoming. Service by Ruby was excellent. Ruby was very thoughtful and nothing was a problem. A lovely memorable evening.

Was a little busy but seemed to be only one member of staff on the floor. Chips were cold by the time the food arrived.

Booked here for Christmas do with the girls from my gym group as was dog friendly and I needed to bring my pooch. Food and service were exceptional. Thank you to Jamie for doing such a great job of looking after a bunch of excitable indecisive women! You were a star 🌟 and we had a great night !

It was a great experience I loved the food and it came really quick. Sam was a really great server.

Love spending time here, the staff are so helpful and friendly and on a Thursday night there is a great atmosphere. Food is always lovely. Dog friendly too which is always a plus!

We had a lovely lunch the 3 of us, served by a lovely young lady by the name of Amrita. We visited on Friday afternoon the restaurant was quite busy, but the food was still served in a timely manner by staff with smiles on their faces. We would definitely recommend dining there for some great food in a relaxed environment, we intend to go there again.....

Had a lovely meal with my sister. It was a Monday evening so wasn't expecting it to be busy, but it was and had a great atmosphere. The service from start to finish was great, especially from Stacey. I had the sirloin steak which was cooked exactly how I asked. All in all, a lovely evening.

Six of us had a fabulous meal today. Food was really good and service was excellent. Lovely to sit down and order food and drinks from our table

I made a reservation for Christmas Day and paid a deposit on the Friday. I received confirmation of the reservation. The next day I received notification that it had been cancelled with no explanation. I contacted customer relations asking for my deposit back. I sent them all the relevant information and I've heard nothing! I've tried calling you directly but no response!! I'm a Support Worker and we frequent your pubs regularly with guys we support....not anymore! I'm very disappointed!!

Excellent food and service the boozy hot chocolate was amazing and the bbq plate was very enjoyable.

It was a nice pub lunch. Took a group of 18 for lunch and a couple of drinks. There were no complaints about the food at all, and the portions were a good size, too. It worked out at around £35 per head. All in all good value for money and the staff were hard working and very polite. In short, they were lovely, and everyone enjoyed their slightly extended lunch break. Would definitely recommend this place for a decent quality, value for money, pub lunch.

It was a lovely afternoon there. We have Sunday Roast and it delicious. Thanks Katie for your excellent service.

2nd time we've been here for a family meal with our dog. Excellent spot with plenty of parking. Gents toilet door lock is missing.

Went for a meal. The food and drink was great and reasonably priced and we were very well looked after by Katie our server. Recommended for a quiet family meal or a drink.

Service good but they got food order wrong so had to wait for it to be redone

Pre and post dinner servive from Fiona was attentive and friendly. Food was very good as usual. Can"t help but keep coming back

Sunday night not super busy but I feel we were forgotten a few times an example being that our main courses arrived and none of our starter plates had been cleared from the table. Food was nice.

Food was spot on. Fiona was lovely but rushed off her feet, she could have done with some help.

Booked a table for 1pm. Arrived and waited to be shown to our table but there was nobody at the desk or behind the bar, not a very good first impression, so we waited about 10mins for someone to arrive. The lady showed us to our table and took our drinks order which arrived promptly. A gentleman delivered these and too our order from the lunchtime menu of main and desserts. The main course seemed to take rather a long time to arrive. when we had finished we had to wait at least another 30 minutes for our desserts, after having to ask twice. These were eventually delivered at which point our table was then cleared. The service overall was quite shocking. Other people arrive some time after us and were served much quicker. After saying about the poor service, the food was beautiful. The fish was cooked to perfection, the mini grill was lovely and so was the salmon. The desserts were just as good. So food was excellent. Service left a lot to be desired.

Celebrating the birthday of the late Alex Roulstone, a wonderful father and grandfather to the Roulstone family. Katie and the crew at the Nurseryman were fantastic. Food, drinks and atmosphere was wonderful.

Had a lovely evening with my mother-in-law and the rest of the Roulstone family to celebrate the birthday of their late father/grandfather Alex Roulstone. Our host Kate was lovely and everyone enjoyed the food.

Went in for an after work drink. At the bar we were asked who was next, we advised the person waiting ahead of us. A large group from a wake arrived at the bar after us. The other bar staff served them ahead of us. When the server who we had directed to the other gentleman had finished she said ‘sorry but I need to go to the host’ and walked off and proceeded to seat people who arrived at the pub AFTER us. After waiting several minutes and 2 other staff members walking past and looking at us we left to go on to find a pub in Beeston. Clearly they just serve mates here.

I have just had a wonderful meal with my family at The Nurseryman in Beeston. Our experience from start to finish was fantastic and we couldn’t fault any aspect of the evening. I was greeted by Alice, the manager on shift, and Pippa, our waitress for the evening, who were both very welcoming and happy to help with my needs. The family were celebrating my aunt’s birthday so I had brought a cake along which I asked to be brought out to the table before our desserts. As a kind gesture Alice gave my aunt a complimentary bottle of wine; in my opinion this is very unheard of in establishments nowadays so it was a lovely touch to our evening. All of our meals came out at the same time, all correct and were all delicious. Pippa and Alice both removed our empty plates and then returned with the birthday cake, and also sang Happy Birthday to my aunt. The restaurant was pretty full but at no point did the service lower. Pippa was tremendous throughout our whole evening. Alison and Pippa definitely deserve this positive recognition as they both made our experience at The Nurseryman this evening a very special one. Thank you once again for helping to create a lovely memory for us all. It is very much gratefully appreciated.

nice cosy pub situated just outside beeston.nottingham.good choice of food competively priced with good choice of places to sit.friendly bar staff.would recommend.

Food was ok just ok,chips had eyes in.steak was hard,onion stack was very mushy we go there fairly regular and always has been good but tonight was terrible.we will return but if the same that would be the last time.

I love the Nurseryman.3 bothers 1 sister and 1 wife all went for a family lunch.Withim a few minutes a staff member took our drinks order, and served them within 5 minutes.Katsu curry, fish and chips, and hunters chicken were the meals selected.They were all served within around 20 minutes, and all were good sized portions, and piping hot.The staff could be seen clearing tables when they became empty, and getting the tables ready for the next diners.The restaurant was comfortable,temperature wise, and clean and tidy.The atmosphere was excellent,with families enjoying a meal and social time.The staff were always on hand and plentiful.I always leave a good tip for the staff because they deserve it.Keep up the good work Nurseryman.100% satisfaction.

Stacey & the team did us proud for our family wake. From the moment we first asked about possibly holding it at The Nurseryman, the whole team were very professional and understanding. The food was great, the seating good, the service brilliant and the whole event went very well. Thank you, Stacey and all of your team for making it a great send off. Mick M (12/09/24)

Wife is coeliac. Asked if the chips were gluten free and if the oil they are fried in too. Was told yes. Her meal arrived with boiled potatoes smothered in butter without a word. They decided to switch due to being uncertain about the chips. She was glutened so we had to leave early from her parents golden wedding anniversary. The staff and manager didn't really seem to care. Apparently the chef who is knowledgeable about allergies had left. I see that I have a response calling me a liar. We were told that the chips are GF and my wife always asks if the oil used is GF or is not used for anything else. Shame on you. We have contacted your head office plus Trading Standards over this issue. You are definitely not to be trusted.

Four of us went today,they had run out of GREENE KING IPA and CUSTARD, food was good,service good but no excuse for running out of custard, thats akin to saying local chip shop ran out of fish !!!

Great pub, good food and friendly staff...👍

Popped in here on the way back from a weekend away as we were about an hour and a half from home and just wanted a break and something to eat before carrying on our journey. Happened to come across this place and we are so glad we did! The atmosphere was lovely, the lighting was relaxing, it was very clean and the staff couldn't do enough for you. The menu had so much to choose from. Myself and my 4 year old had a roast dinner. They were huge! The steak was also really well presented and cooked perfectly. The only negative for me would be that dogs are allowed in the dining area. I have nothing against dogs but it's just my personal opinion that they shouldn't be around food for hygiene reasons. Other than that, we are so pleased that we found this little gem of a place, just gutted we live so far away!

Had a few meals here over the past few weeks. All have been delicious.. especially the roast. I was slightly awkward (never been known before!) and asked for outer slices of meat and I got a plateful of crispy beef. 😋😋 The service is always spot on and staff are very friendly. I’d particularly like to thank Alex, Ruby, Connor, Stacey and Abbie who were on duty during my latest visit and Chloe who I know works really hard too! I would definitely recommend a trip here!!

Don't waste your hard earned money, Staff where great a pitty about the food party of 19 on 14.09.2024.Mixed grill was inedible Chicken dry,Egg hard ,black pudding vile, steak fatty,onion rings soggy, Gamon OK,chips warm,overall what a waste of money. Never again.

Had a very nice meal which was very good priced, the servers Alex, Ruby and Connor were very good and helpful and made sure we were looked after. A really lovely meal :)

Just had a lovely family meal!, Connor was brilliant made sure we had everything we needed!, the occasion was mad even better by the fact a quiz was on which added to the atmosphere and made for some good family competition!

Fab food & wonderful staff.. Thankyou, Ruby, conner, Alex, Stacey, & Abbey,

Had a function here. Brilliant staff and excellent service

A family get-together for lunch good food excellent service quite busy fir a Monday

Group of friends meeting up informally for food. The welcome was great, seating sorted, very polite and attentive staff who ensured we got great service and additional drinks etc Sam & Connor were extremely polite throughout our time.

We had a lovely meal at the Nurseryman Pub and Grill. The service was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. We ate the rainbow salad which was amazing. My daughter had plenty of hallumi on her salad, and I had a salmon steak on mine. We had requested some customising, which was correct. My grandson had a cheeseburger and chips, and was happy with his meal. For dessert, my daughter had the hot drink and mini dessert option (cheesecake) and this was delicious. My grandson chose the triple chocolate brownie sundae. It was great. We asked for tea, and a huge pot was brought for the two of us. They were able to supply soya milk.

Visited a couple of days ago with family & can honestly say it was the worse meal we've had at the restaurant. Small piece of salmon was served with literally a plateful of baby potato's & a sprig of something we didn't know what. Another person had pie which the pastry was rock hard. £7 for 6 small slices of garlic bread is disgusting. We've often visited when we've been to visist family but unfortunately we won't visist again.

Brilliant food and service from sam and Ruby very polite top staff 👍

We always enjoy eating at the Nurserymen. The food is pretty consistent and it's a great menu. The staff are so friendly and helpful and Ruby was excellent. She's so efficient and polite. Will be visiting again soon

We went for Sunday lunch and it was terrible, i had the beef which was supposed to be served pink but it was overcooked and uneatable, my wife and i found the stuffing to be cold and the broccoli to be almost raw, roast potatoes were waxy and chewy, we will certainly not be eating here again

Absolutely superb service. Birthday dinner with my wife. Nothing was trouble for Ruby. Our server. Brilliant evening. Fantastic food. Many thanks for a great time.

We usually visit The Nurseryman whenever we are doing UoN drops offs or pick ups. We always receive a warm welcome and the service and food are always good. Slight issue with one of the drinks on our last visit that was expertly resolved to our satisfaction. Shout out to Fiona and Stacey for making it an enjoyable visit.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch yesterday it was delicious, well portioned and cooked to perfection.

lovely meal with excellent service

Visited for the first time in many years last evening. Lamb Kofra starter was excellent, the Katsu Chicken Curry good too, though the sauce was a little thick and there could have been more of it. Fresh corriander and chillies were a tasty touch but I do wonder what chips are doing with rice on the same plate. Next time I'd ask for extra rice and no chips! Staff were really pleasant especially with our chatty grand daughter. Only 4*, restaurants have to be excellent to get a "5" from me!

The food arrived just hot enough to eat. My chicken was overcooked and stringy, the onion rings soggy. The chips were lovely. Our friends chicken fajitas were dry. We expected it on a hot plate plateau and sizzling. Will not come again.

Fiona is the best server. So lovely and friendly

Friendly place nice atmosphere good selection of ales,ciders,wines including 0%ABV wines didn't eat in this occasion but had a delightful coffee

Went for refreshments after a funeral

Attending a wake after funeral. Food delicious as usual and plenty for everyone. Highly recommended.

Treated to Sunday lunch with my daughters on mother's day. Brilliant.

Was ok, green king ale on draft was ok. would prefer a wider range of ales but the staff were good and the beer was as good as Green King IPA gets 👍

Really disappointing in visiting this place very expensive for pre paked food that was served Luke warm and very late sadly would not recommend or return

A big pub with good staff and outdoor seating lots o choices on the menu,

Service very poor,had to ask where our food was,again food poor,alot of food missing off the menu will not go back in a hurry.

Long time to wait for food. Several desserts run out of. Staff not very happy.

Honestly this place has one of the best burgers I've had its absolutely delicious, the food here us great quality with reasonable prices. However, the service we got here was unpleasant, passive aggressive and just blatant rude today. Maybe we came on an off day, but that's still no excuse in my opinion. Also, this pub should be giving out student discounts as its part of greene king pubs, however they refused to do so. So not only not student friendly, but also false advertisement on their website. Hope they sort this issue out because honestly love the food.

My steak was half well done which I ordered medium rare and the other half wasn't cooked at all and the presentation of my dish and my party's dish's was terrible and I was very disappointed

Nice food, very cheap and the lady that served us was very friendly

Nicely refurbished. Good location. Good choice of beers and food. Staff generally ok. Food quality can be variable. Rock hard pies and yorkshire puds. I suspect that early birds catch the food chilled from the day before, while later diners will get the more freshly cooked stuff.

It's been a long, long time since I have been to the Nursery man. I'm so glad I went back. New management. The food was hot and delicious. The staff were friendly and polite. Well worth a visit.

Service was polite and cheerful. From ordering it took about 30 minutes to receive our food. Although nicely presented, the food was unremarkable and somewhat bland. Given that, I would suggest a little overpriced. The menu is extensive; probably too much so. Better to have a more limited menu and make sure each dish is memorable for the right reasons. Apart from that, the pub itself was pleasant, clean and well kept.

Food was not fresh but processed.meat portions were poor veg under cooked won't be returning

Great choice on the menu and good quality food. Our first choice for our regular pub meal on a Friday night. The staff are very helpful and friendly. A perfect choice.

Had a fantastic Friday lunch, well priced, lovely atmosphere. Artur was a lovely server, very polite and efficient. Food was fantastic, great value steak. Will be back again

It’s a nice local pub to have, the service is always welcoming and friendly. 6 of us sat down and Artur served us, he really couldn’t have been more helpful. The food is good though it won’t ever win any awards, there’s always something to have. Personally I think the before 5 menu is the best if it works time wise (which it doesn’t normally)

Booked as short notice as visiting the area. Thought it might be tricky to get in with England match on, but not a problem. Nice atmosphere with tvs on for those that wanted to watch, but quiet areas for those that didn’t. Tv not on loud either so didn’t dominate the pub. Great friendly professional service, (thanks Artur), good value for money.
