Plainsman in Gedling

Fantastic staff, amazing atmosphere and Tayne went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely evening! Will 100% be back soon!

Our 'home from home' place to go....we feel relaxed and comfortable here......the staff are very welcoming and the food always good and very affordable. Especially enjoy morning coffee and cake here or the lunchtime Seniors menu (good portions for a great price). Looking forward to our next visit........ Chris and Angie

Maryanne is a lovely lady and gave great service throughout the night will definitely be going again

Bargain breakfast. £7 incl endless tea or coffee.

Came with family for Saturday lunch. Great menu choices. Friendly helpful staff. Great value for money. Regularly come here when visiting family

My partner and I came for dinner tonight with our child. Torrie was absolutely amazing with our child and made us feel really welcome. We both want to say a huge thank you to her for her customer service :)

Love every moment and keep come back

Tayne was so helpful. I have a severe dairy allergy. He was so thorough. Tori was also double checking. The meals were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.

Great place to go for a liquid lunch that turned into drinks a meal and a great time making new friends and playing pool. Staff are awesome polite and very helpful. Wish I'd lived closer so i could call the plainsman my local.

First point of call,good food,good snap 👍

Very good food, very good service

Really nice pub great food a better quality than u get next door in wetherpoons go in there at least once a week for a meal .

Can be noisy, especially Fri and Sat.

Get yourself down to this pub on a Tuesday evening. Cracking quiz, good food, lovely company 😘

Disappointed with the food. Vegetarian hallumi flatbeead

Great pun quiz on a Tuesday. And really nice food. Definitely recommend.

Great team! Lovely food and service :)

Fantastic place to enjoy a few drinks with your mates. Food is always at a great standard. Service is always good and it’s a good social setting.

Cracking local pub and Tuesday quiz 🥳

Top venue and staff. Thanks go to Tony for sorting us a birthday cake

Bouncer attitude just totally unnecessary and unpleasant

Great pub for a pint with plenty of outdoor seating, small car park. Good venue for watching sports and good selection of beers, although they had run out of my favourite Ice Breaker this evening. Regularly visit this pub for a pint and the service is always friendly.

Very very nice pub, Food was great, staff were extremely friendly good Atmosphere Bar Lady was very attentive to detail & extremely friendly.

Often pop in, well priced and staff are sound. Only downside for me is when the football's on it's not a nice place to be, but I get why.

Always a pleasure to be served by Lisa. Haven't been for a while but as good as ever and glad to see Lisa is still behind the bar, always a pleasure. Another regular visit. Regular return visit, food is always good. Second visit this week. First time with a group of six for an excellent hearty mid-morning breakfast. But today for a scrummy lunch with friends. Thank-you.

Didn't eat in there so can't review the food not been plainsman in a long time as from other side of Nottingham but really nice to step foot in there again the fellow that served me a coffee made me feel most welcome will go again .

Lovely pub, first started coming here about a year ago and haven’t stopped since! The bar staff are all friendly and kind, particular standouts being Nicole and Sarah who usually tend to be working when I visit. Very efficient service and the beers always great. On the occasion I have food here it comes out quickly and tastes fantastic, would recommend to anybody 👍

Trialled the New Katsu chicken burger and sweet chilli wrap absolutely delicious. Cooked lovely 5☆ . Service 5☆ staff pleasant. Son stated hope Katsu chicken burger goes on menu full time not just as a burger off the month . Will be back to enjoy again thanks Team . 5 ☆ to Chef Zoe and Server Lisa . Thank you. Xx

Got served by porsche, great energy and lovely conversation, it was a pleasure to come in

Amazing pub! Amazing staff! Came in on a Wednesday evening and was served by Porscha who was very friendly and accommodating! 5 star

Standard menu throughout all Greene King pubs. It wasn't the best service, to be honest, and the food could have been warmer. Don't think I'll bother again. Good pub for evening drinks, but not so much for meals in the day.

Fantastic service, highly recommend and will be coming back again thanks to Victoria.

Great staff, food and Drinks All round great local pub

As always great food great service great place

First visit and am happy to return.

Updated. What has happened to this place. Poor.

What a fantastic night open mike was just brilliant thanks to all the acts and to the punters.

Excellent Fish and Chips. Staff very friendly and efficient. Special mention to Sarah. A star.

Asked for a table close to the act , I got the table the furthest away right next to the toilet and a bunch of loud gobby sport watching men . we ordered food as a starter and main but it all came together so we felt rushed .. the drag act was good and will go again for that but wont be booking a table or food ..

I wanted to give a shout out for some outstanding service received today from Viktoria. I’ll be honest, I expected a reply of a couple of words at most when I enquired did they do a light lunch? Victoria took the time to explain the Plainsman’s full offer, the menu’s available and the mix and match meal deal, senior menu etc etc. She was thorough, yet clear and very concise. Her helpful reply enabled me to make a fast decision which expedited my visit when I didn’t have a lot of time. Thank you Viktoria - you’re a real asset to the Plainsman

Went for a family meal last night. The meals were lovely, great prices. Had a nice evening, even had live music (open mic night). We will definitely be revisiting !!

Nice food! Amazing service! Lovely Staff! Good place to chill after football 🙂

Came in after football and Sarah and the team were very welcoming The food was excellent and drinks too

Helen and Victoria where simply magnificent today they made me feel so welcome and looked after

Great place love it come in most days with friends 10 out of 10

Saturday lunch. Awful visit to Plains an, everything seemed a chore, ordered some food, waited 20 minutes even though very few in the pub. Man and woman came in 10 minutes after us and got their food first, no one asked if we were OK, if food was OK, my brunch wasnt bad but my sons burger was a bit burnt, which is not really good. All in all I feel like I wasted £26 on food and drink which were average at the very best, definitely won't be going again. AWFUL

Food was excellent & service was great as we booked an early table, but as it got busy they seemed a little short staffed

Lovely, helpful staff, great food & nice atmosphere, will keep returning.

Me and my fiancé came here for food! We both had a mixed grill and upgraded to the extra steak! The mixed grill was cooked to perfection and I would personally like to thank the chefs for cooking a lovely meal and to thank all the bar staff for being super helpful when it came to ordering our food! The service was amazing, the staff were very attentive and I would definitely recommend this place to anybody!! This place has such a great atmosphere too! Thank you!

Food is good and price reasonable

Staff very nice, food great. Parking has to be paid but you get a refund on your bill.

You can have a 2course meal for 6.99 or a 3 course for 7.99 if you are an old giffer like me, marvelous give it try, even the staff were very nice 👍🎄🧑‍🎄

Lovely afternoon lunch with a relaxed atmosphere, great service from Lisa and good value food.

Often go there for a pie and a Pint. Very good quality food and good size helping. I only usually go in the daytime and it has a very settled atmosphere with a steady stream of customers.

Always very friendly and warm staff. Great place for a family dinner

Popped in for a couple of pints quiet but happy about it.staff member Lisa very helpful told her we would try food out at some point.i will be visiting again.happy customer.

Great place to go and watch sports or play a couple games of pool with friends. Service was good & beer was cold, plenty of choice! Only downside is the toilets are very unkept!

Food was dry my pie was so hard i was unable to eat most of it normally it is really nice but not this time pie felt like it was a few days old

Came in the plainsman last week had a brilliant time was looked after Carl and Caiden

Brilliant, professional staff and set up

The food wasn't very impressive, but service was excellent and the atmosphere was Ok, not convinced the chicken used wasn't warmed in microwave

Tonight we went with our old friends for a meal. It was most enjoyable. The food was delicious & hot. The staff were very attentive & nothing was too much trouble. It was a most enjoyable experience & we will definitely dine here again. Pat Parker.

Very good food for a quick lunchtime visit

Love coming here. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Great ( new ) pool table. I love the food, especially the small plates.

Nice friendly staff,I will be going back

What an amazing and friendly place to go for food and drinks. Staff couldn’t be any more helpful and welcoming. Especially the manager Sarah and Jacko. Had a lovely meal and everything was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend

Can't fault my birthday lunch at the plainsman they have a main menu, a brunch menu and a senior menu and a children's menu we ate from the senior main and children's menus easy to read easy to order and the food comes out hot and tasty. We will be returning again thank you

Sunday roast was like hospital food

Lisa and Helen served us today ,both lovely , my mum knocked her drink over ,Lisa came over and sorted it even replacing the knocked over drink

Had a relaxing breakfast/brunch and was well looked after by Sarah and her team. Lovely touch with the dog menu too. Will be back next time we're in Nottingham.

Was there Monday not been for a very longtime not disappointed Very reasonable prices, nice food and the young ladies serving were very polite and helpfull

Pretty good lunch, quiet, shame about the pay-carpark but not a reflection on the staff. Lisa & Sarch were great - thanks for the service.

We really enjoy coming here the food is amazing and the service is brilliant Helen was great she is so kind and helpful with our choices and helps a lot we love to see her

Drink there most weekends. Great pub

The meal was great, the staff were friendly and helpful and the place was very relaxed. The menu was a decent size with some good choices for a reasonable price and as a bonus theres parking at the back. I will definitely be back.

Sarah and her team were great, serving fresh hot food to a family of 8 people for my Dad's birthday. All the meals were delicious we all agreed.

Had a relaxing meal with my sister, which was very tasty and hot. We didn't have to wait long either. The staff were very pleasant. Would definitely return.

Excellent night. We can her for my Dads 75th birthday. Staff were excellent and very attentive. Drinks selection good. Menu inviting and varied. Food was served promptly, piping hot and as ordered. A credit to Sarah and the team - thank you!

Lovely service from Sarah great food. Xxx

Service and people were all great with exceptional service from Sarah. Dog station is a really good idea.

Friendly staff, clean pub, dog friendly food food choice

We came with the babies and Sarah was so helpful. Took out order at the table, looked after us and bought us everything we needed.

Great service from the team and in particular the lady in green. Class food and good beers👍

Service was bit slow. But enjoyable evening.

We go to the Plainsman about three times a week, the food & drinks are very good, Ali the barman very polite and quick to serve everyone, would highly recommend.

The food and service were excellent.

Shocking service when my friends and I went for food the other night. Several glasses smashed behind the bar, a full glass of Coke spilled all over my friend, served dessert and failed to clear mains plates, had to ask for cutlery. Mess all over the floor that staff just kept walking over and ignoring, see photo.

Popped in just before the kitchens closed and they very kindly still let us order. Good pub food and super friendly service.

On one hand they serve Neck oil and the staff seemed to be doing thier best. On the other hand while we were in this bar On a Sunday afternoon for 2 hours I witnessed several people leave the gents without washing thier hands, part of the bar stunk of weed and to top off the ambience one of a group of lads near us was sick on the floor (roughly 5pm).

Had lovely meals today the sharing plate was really nice lots choose from my mixed grill was perfect and my wife's macron cheese was best she had we will be back keep up the good work cheers

Great place with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. All the staff are great and the food is always great for price!

Had family get-together for Mothers Day. Very welcoming. Meals & service very good & felt attended to. Look forward to return visit.

Contrary to some of the reviews on here, I had a very pleasurable lunch. Food was great, and Staff very friendly.

The food is second to none and the atmosphere is excellent. Very helpful bar staff and the new landlady is very friendly.

Superb food . Friendly atmosphere lovely landlady and staff. Will definitely be back again 🙏👏

Myself and my friend have been coming here for years. Today we met and had food. It was absolutely and utterly disgusting. I paid £8 for a couple of soggy chips cauliflower cheese that looked like a train wreck and soggy foul tasting onion rings. The coffee machine was broken - yet again!! I wont be returning again !

Eating in today and notice the windows were very dirty and in need of a good clean, which does let the place down, food took quite a time to arrive, not what I expected half a fish? 8 chips and dried peas. Lemon is rock hard.

Staff are outstanding - Lisa & Helen are extremely kind, doing everything above and beyond to help me. This provides me with the confidence of being in a nice environment with a relative that has dementia. Staff are really kind & lovely - appreciated.

Absolutely disgraceful food and customer service, the food wasn’t edible at all, the chicken was slimey The steak came out 3 minutes after ordering and it was like rubber. We told staff our concerns and was fobbed off! We didn’t eat anything so left it all. The staff member then said “I’ve ate it before and not had any problems” so completely ignored our problems! Will not be returning and would not recommend!

Awful food, everyone’s plate was brought out at different times, steak was brought out within the first 2 minutes of ordering it and majority was pure fat!! Wouldn’t recommend
