Riverside Farm in Nottingham

Nice pub food really nice great carvery

Atmosphere is nice, kaat helped a lot helping me decide on what I got

Fantastic value breakfast buffet. Unlimited self serve full English and it includes hot drinks for under £8. Can't beat it for value

Love this place & the carvery is very nice. There's always a lovely lady on the door welcoming everyone with a big smile Had the loaded chips also for my daughter with chicken & sauce & it was pretty basic

Cold Vegetables and very thinly cut beef for our Sunday dinner and mother's day. shame.

Very good place to eat. Definitely will be back. Service excellent. Food excellent, Yorkshire pudding could do with some flavour, to plain & to big.

Great place, food is amazing, and I love how homely it feels.

Really good food in their buffet!

dont think drivers can read nos on house driver was sat at other building for 5 mins nos on house can not be any bigger not hapoy

My order came and the waiter didn’t clarify if it was the vegan one but was very tasty. I walked in and was greeted by the smell of familiar farmhouse Inns (the franchise brand), the smell was not one that you’d want your home to smell of, in my opinion. I ordered the standard carvery on a Saturday. The meats were rather dry without the addition of the onion gravy. I would have wanted more onions. The accompanying vegetables were quite tasty. The skin of the roast potatoes was quite tough, it made me have to chew it for a while. This dismayed me. The staff served me my pint of Birra Moretti from the bar with a glass that was dripping with beer. I had to hold it away from me to not wet myself. On the topic of parsnips, the outer most segment of the “snip” was delicious and tender. However, the inner most segment - the core if you will - was uncooked and frankly uncouth. Nevertheless, I recommend these semi-delights for the emotional rollercoaster of going from deliciousness to dismay. Location is special, in an industrial area where you’d rather expect brothels than this lovely establishment. I recommend every wandering traveller who finds themselves at a stopping point while traversing the Trent

Nice place first time here for a long while sad that no blue light card on a Sunday good job i would still offer my services on a Sunday. Lovley mixed grill but forgot my egg.....

Great food, great portions and great value!

A great place to meet. Good food, drink and service at a very reasonable pricr

Not a bad visit, except for the fact the the lady serving the food was a bit abrupt. I only asked for the gravy pot to be swapped for the peppercorn sauce but was told no you should have ordered it when planning the order. It was my son's 18th birthday and it was his sauce for his meal. Quite disappointed that for something quite easy to do just couldn't be taken care of. Other than that it was okay.

Excellent carvery, well organized and the service was fast and friendly.

Not worth money! Meat was all fatty

Great value here, buffet breakfast where the eggs weren’t soggy!

Great experience. Friendly and professional service

Pual Owen Jo Steve ash you no what a fish best fish in the world 🌎 I recommend the fish and chips steve fish was absolutely lovely 👌 always the best place to eat thanks guys

Phil, Jo, Ash, Owen and Katt were awesome and we super accommodating for our group of 30 gave us an area to ourselves and kept everything moving. Food was great and hit the spot

The food was really good and the service was great, amazing value for money! Jo was welcoming and helpful throughout the whole evening!

Jo is the absolute goat 🐐. Great customer service. Would definitely come again. Food is a 10/10, not to glaze. -James Ryder

Good standard pub type food and drink. Great service when ordering at the bar. Very impressed that the computer let him specify that the dessert was being shared

Very good service and food , with tempting desserts.

Lovely family meal, lots to choose from

Verygood service an very friendly staff

I came in for the unlimited breakfast on Sunday morning and the food was really nice, can't go wrong for the price, I would definitely recommend. Paul behind the bar(think he was the manager) was friendly and helpful so was the female staff member(didn't get her name) they both was welcoming and I'll definitely be returning this Sunday. Thank you.

This was our first visit here, we came in the door from the road (not the car park) found a table and went to sit down, a lady approached us asking if we were sitting ourselves, I said yes, she told us there was a sign saying, "wait to be seated" I laughed and said we'd not seen it, she was so rude making it clear the sign was there, I didn't say it wasn't, I just said we'd not seen it, then she instructed a young lad to sit us somewhere she'd chosen. The other staff we encountered were lovely, the bar and restaurant was lovely and clean, the carvery was ok, lots of things to choose from.

Lovely pub. Popped in for dinner; my companions had carvery, and I was a little regretful that I had not done the same as it looked amazing. However, when my order of the Yorkshire pudding wrap arrived, I no longer felt any regret whatsoever. Food was delicious, staff friendly and service swift. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Went for a late afternoon carvery, not too busy for 4pm. Just sat down to eat & daughter felt faint & almost collapsed. Asked for first aider & the manager came to help. He was attentive, took my daughter & myself to the cellar so she could cool down & rest away from the pub area. He got her some chocolate to boost her sugar levels, then took us to a new table that was in a cooler area of the pub & a bit quieter. Also made sure that we were able to get fresh plates at the carvery. Couldn’t fault the service & the help of the manager Paul. Food was also lovely once we had chance to eat it! Many thanks

The food was delicious with a wide variety of items to select from for a fantastic breakfast and the staff was really helpful and friendly also they were very polite

Manager & one member of staff had bad attitude when questioned about being over charged, everything seems to be an inconvenience to them when asked about anything even more so after they had been proven wrong about what they had charged me, it totally spoiled the experience & when talking to other customers next to our table it seems we were not the only ones the manager had attitude with, not be returning in a hurry

Fantastic breakfast all you can eat for less than a tenner highly recommended

The staff were amazing, apologised for delays, service was great, pleasant...will definitely go again.

Very busy, went on a Sunday for carvery. Food good and plenty of vegetables to help yourself to. Beer and soft drinks a expensive

Carvery was okay, had to wait a while to be served though and had to ask. There are 2 different menus in the pub with different prices on, perhaps the old ones should be disposed of. Just given soft drinks, not offered ice or lemon.

Great Assistant Managers and floor staff excellent customer services always made welcome, even asked if I had any allergies, nice not to hear staff moaning all smiles. Food spot on especially the cakes and ice cream

If you want a cold carvery/buffet, with very slow service. Brownie desserts with no brownies. Drinks that come out when you've finished your food ,this is the place to come! Absolutely awful.

Deep fried everything and the blandest steak ever and all for £60? Staff were very apologetic and gave us free drinks and cakes

If I could give zero stars I would. Staff are helpful, but overrun. Carvery on Sunday at 6pm was (we left at quarter past) awful. Unsure if the timings were incorrect, most food was old, or fresh out of big tub… Gravy was absolutely appalling, doesn’t help it went over everything.. Also no peas on a carvery? What is this blasphemy? A waste of money!

Food was cold there was no Yorkshire pudding stuffing and gravy it went in the bin will not be ordering from here again I think in the last few months not been happy with the food from here so definitely will not be eating from Riverside again

Decent food. Service was a tad slow however. It may have just been busy with not enough staff on. Would recommend for a good spot to eat.

I ordered the carvery from this restaurant a several times and always good and tasty, will order again next time.

Disgusting service, was told they were no tables when they loads of them uncleared. In a nutshell, an absolute disgrace. Proper rude bar maid aswell. Would have given a 0 if possible.

Cakes where missing from the order, the main reason we ordered was for the cake.

I looked online for where the best carvery is in Nottingham, and this name came up several times. I was excited to try it out, especially for my husband who had not been to a carvery before. The food itself was very good. I got the turkey, which was very moist and tender. Others around the table got the gammon and beef, and also said it was excellent. The roast potatoes were very dry and hard, but it was the end of the evening. The only downside was the service. Particularly the tea - 2 people at our table requested the pot of tea, and the teapot was not even full. 1 of them asked the teapot to be filled even more, and it still wasn't full. The amount of tea in the cup was laughable.

Well cooked meal but they advertise real ales. Utterly dreadful no real ales just a massive poster. My wife given a pale yellow syrup and called it Shiraz. But they did exchange it. Brilliant meal but come on pull your socks up and give the public a proper drink please

Very large portions, lovely mmmmm

The whole time I was here I felt very welcomed by staff a special shout-out to Kayleigh our waitress and kaat the bartender who serviced us were both extremely friendly. The food was delicious really recommended

Lovely food excellent service great choices good prices all round great experience Well worth a trip! All the staff were very welcoming, and helpful.

Excellent carvery and great service from staff. Food portions are excellent ( plenty of meat) and a variety of vegetables to choose from. The puddings were amazing. Ended up taking half home with us as we're too good to leave. Venue was spotless. Toilets were very clean

Absolutely amazing experience as a solo customer!! Kaat was incredible with outstanding customer service from her an Paul!

Hungry on a Sunday morning. You will find superb service and an excellent breakfast here. Special thanks to Coral for making us feel especially welcome.

Cozy, and they do a few cocktails too :)

A good meal for a fair price. The meat and vegetables were cooked nicely and the staff were friendly. We were seated quickly and the place was reasonably clean.

Excellent carvery was had here today. Lots of meat given and veg was nicely cooked. Onion gravy was nice and normal gravy aswell. Puddings were amazing. Size was huge and had to take half home with me.

We had prebooked a table and arrived at The Riverside at 7.50pm only to find out that they were ceasing to serve main meals at 8pm. The website said they served until 10pm. However, we were informed that they were short staffed. Our guests were coming from London and hadn't arrived but were en route. I explained this to Jo, the manager, who suggested we find out what they wanted and they would delay closing the kitchen. Thanks Jo, for being so accommodating! We all managed to get a delicious carvery. And the cake was huge and delicious! Thanks again, Jo.

All food, carvery and main menu, is normally exceptionally good. Service is efficient and staff pleasant and helpful. I had a small grievance over menu availability on Boxing Day but this was solved, to my surprise, exceptionally quickly and I was extremely happy with the apology.

A little disappointed, it was Christmas day staff so busy and lovely, food average at best, so noisy but it was Christmas 🎄

Great carvery and helpful staff. Not too expensive either

We went there for a meal at 7pm on Saturday which was advertised as open till 11pm. on there website. We were then to be told that we are closed! Our evening plans were ruined as it was then to late to rearrange. Not a very good customer relations is it !! We'll think again before visiting.

Served by Rebecca today who was super helpful and friendly. Would recommend this place to eat.

Been here twice now and the food was great first time was a carvery second time was food off the menu. The first time the staff were lovely and couldn’t be more helpful the second time we went I had the feeling that they didn’t want to be there and couldn’t be bothered. I could also over hear the one server talking about my partner to other staff which is highly un professional. The pub its self is good with a lovely atmosphere and it was dressed up lovely for Christmas too. I just think the staff should be a little more careful with their attitude and how loud they are talking around customers.

Pre-boooked table not ready and one member of staff could only say that it wasn't on the computer. Other staff much more helpful.

food was cold and dry didn't receive full order gravy was missing

The driver rang us to say he couldn’t find us. But he was in the wrong street. So by the time he hot to us the food was cold.

After eating here for many years we were astonished when we went on 23rd November at 5 pm we were told if we had not booked we could not eat as they were doing Christmas parties. There was hardly anyone in and very few tables had reserved on. So we have not been in since. We used to go every other week with my sister and brother in law .

went in asked for a table the lady was rude and blunt telling us bookings only, checked the website so many times available. utterly rude.

good carvery and nice selection of other pub food

For was rubbish and over priced

Visited for cake and a drink. The restaurant was very busy and there were no tables available. I asked if we could sit at the bar which there were 2 tables available to use. Through our time there, there were lots of bookable tables not actually being used! We had cake and a drink, but the cake was dry and not that enjoyable.

The food was freezing and was small portions for the price compared to past orders we’ve had there before. Delivery was fast from store so don’t get why it was all so cold.

I always enjoy a good carvery, and never disappointed here, however, on this occasion, I felt the carvery wasn't quite upto their usual standard which is all I'm going say because it was very busy, so I sort of get the reason why.

Had brekkie for the first time great choice off food tea / coffee was a little disappointing, but will deffo come again. Waiteres was lovely xx

Great service, great veg at carvery with huge Yorkshire pud. I would have liked a 3rd slice of meat - I ordered standard so got just the 2 - and the sundae was a bit too sickly. Crumbles were very big and Great value for money

Came with a group the service was good but the carvery was cold and the toilets nead a good clean with one had no working lock

Just turned up for dinner before booking in to travelodge next door. Bit disappointing as only guide dogs are allowed. We booked in to travelodge next door because of the pub next door as every Green King pub we've been to allows dogs with a well behaved human. Dinner and breakfast will have to be somewhere else 😢

had a standard carvery.Really tasty.

Went for lunch with my daughter, her yorkie wrap was massive she couldnt eat it all.

Went last night staff and food great especially Mike was so friendly

Great experience, really friendly staff who are very helpful!

A carvery pub with no meat available at 7.45pm on a Tuesday night. Carvery then switched off so no scope for vegetables either. Steak ordered but came with seemingly tinned mushrooms. Bbq burger swamped with bbq sauce and topped with an overcooked egg. Then, no menu desserts or sundaes available even though food is meant be served until 9am. The staff didn't seem remotely bothered or interested. Absolute shambles!

Our recent experience at The Riverside Farmhouse Carvery was beyond infuriating. Arriving at 7:30 pm, well within their advertised hours, we were informed that they’d run out of carvery – the very dish they brand themselves around. This isn’t just disappointing; it’s a complete failure in planning and customer service. A so-called “carvery” restaurant running out of its main attraction an hour & half before closing is beyond incompetent. They couldn’t even be bothered to ensure the primary meal they’re known for would be available? When we expressed our disappointment, we were met with indifference – no apology, no compensation, not a shred of accountability. It felt like we were inconveniencing them by expecting the meal we’d come for. But the lack of care didn’t stop there. When we tried to salvage our evening by ordering dessert, we were told they were not serving “Menu” desserts only Take Away– and still well before closing! Clearly, they were trying to quietly close early, with little regard for the customers they’d left hanging. And as if that weren’t bad enough, it became obvious what their true priority was: Christmas decorations. The dining area was closed off, cluttered with boxes of decorations, as though preparing the restaurant for the festive period took precedence over actually serving the people who came to dine. With a road closure outside, it’s clear they’d pulled both the carvery and dessert offerings to shut down early and focus on decorating. The utter lack of professionalism and disregard for paying customers was appalling. This isn’t just a disappointment – it’s a warning. If you’re thinking of going to The Riverside Farmhouse Carvery, don’t waste your time. A restaurant that cares more about hanging tinsel than serving its core menu, that shows zero regard for its patrons, and that quietly pulls service to close up early has no business pretending to care about customers. Avoid this place at all costs.

Fantastic service friendly helpful staff wonderful food didn't have to wait long for food lots of choice on menu clean disabled friendly toilets and good parking

Banging carvery, Jo was a ledge and managed to get us a seat when we hadn't booked. Peng turkey. Ridiculous eclair. Spaff were amazing 😍

This is our favourite place for dinner and to have amazing birthday experience. Jack was incredibly accommodating and got our birthday cake out to us beautifully:)

Enjoy your meal Clean environment Food quality is very good

no gravy on our food and bottle of diet coke missing

Weekend it is necessary to book, you are asked what area you want to sit in when booking as there is a family area, which can get rather noisy. Carvery is always good, other meals on menus may take longer so best to wait awhile before queuing for carvery if others are having food from the menu so you can eat together. Large selection of puddings and the cakes are large portions. Take away service for carvery looks good value for money.

Lana served us today, she was so polite and friendly and very efficient . Food was great too. We will be back. Thank you so much.

Really tasty food, friendly staff and quick efficient service.

The 'To good to go' bags from here are amazing! Staff very polite!

Peaked our interest when driving past, was a great selection of food including the popular carvery. We did get a cake away as well and that was fantastic Service was lovely and they accommodated us having a table for an hour before a big booking.

Portion sizes are huge and food is lovely

The food was expensive and the meat was not properly cooked Sunday roast is more expensive in the weekend and does not taste nice

Thank you very much the meal was excellent and the desert!!

Got us I'm without a booking. Very helpful.

Reasonable value for Nottingham, hotel rather dated. No USB charging sockets and no electrical sockets by bedside tables. Ample hot water for shower or bath. Basic tea and coffee, very limited amount in room but always available at reception. One very good plus point is the free parking which can be very expensive in the city.
