The Air Hostess in Rushcliffe

Stopped here for Sunday lunch with my wife last weekend while we were visiting Nottingham. It was a last minute visit so there were no spaces in the restaurant and we had to eat in the bar with the two large TV screens and shouting fans over the football. We ordered a Sunday lunch each. Staff confused us at first with another table but they eventually came over with our food. It was well presented and the meat was firm, although a little too overlooked for my liking. The Yorkshire puddings were not home made but the parsnips were lovely and there was a separate dish of cabbage and carrots. My wife liked the food more that I did but then again we were looking for something to eat and not Michelin star food. The food was OK and I am not going to complain too much. The staff were lovely and friendly and the meal came to about £30 + for the two of us with a couple of drinks, my wife with her Diet Coke and me with the pint of lager shandy. Staff were very friendly and didn't mind a bit of light banter over their uniforms. It's sited outside the city centre on the road to Melton Mowbray for anyone interested. It's at the end of the main road through the village. No parking though so you will have to park on the main road, like we did.

Beautiful food well presented and worth every penny. Very friendly and helpful staff. First time visiting but will definitely be back. Thank you

Amazing Community Pub with amazing people at the helm. Food is wonderful especially the steaks! Great choice of Cask asles among other beverages. Lovely beer Garden and wonderful decked area.

They say that first impressions count, they do. This community pub has got it all right, and made for a thoroughly enjoyable experience for my wife and I at lunchtime .( And our dog Tilly enjoyed herself too) The food was great, wholesome and tasteful. The beer was great too. The service was exceptional. We tried a Valentines dessert special- chocolate fondue- to die for. It will not be our only trip to the Air Hostess.

Superb food, lovely staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

The food here is excellent, they also have an incredible range of beer which has changed every time I visit.

Just awful. Chewy steak served on thin sliced supermarket style bread and a few chips some of which were luke warm. £13 Yes I did let them know, were they bothered? No. I took the steak for my dog who might appreciate it.

Great food at affordable prices. Really nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

What a cracking pub. We visited for the first time recently to celebrate a birthday and were immediately taken by the cosy and welcoming atmosphere on a busy Friday night. It's rare to find a pint of Timothy Taylor for under £5 in this area so that was also a pleasant surprise. We had a bit of a wait for food but it was worth it. Generous portions, piping hot (also rare), delicious and reasonably priced. Relaxed but attentive service and dog friendly too. We'll be back soon.

As always a lovely meal brilliant staff

Vino a almorzar. A pesar de que este es un lunes a mediados de enero el lugar estaba ocupado, pero nos dieron una mesa para dos. La comida se cocina fresca, así que tardó unos 15 minutos en llegar, pero era excelente, sabroso y muy bien presentado. Todo el personal era muy amable y servicial. Nunca dejaron de trabajar, pero parecía que disfrutaban de su trabajo. Gran relación calidad-precio, buen ambiente y muy cómodo

Amazing food in an amazing place!

Community owned pub with excellent food. Sticky Toffee Pudding!

Hemos estado en la azafata muchas veces y siempre ha estado bien. Esta vez vinimos con unos amigos y nos quedamos muy decepcionados. Pedimos bebidas que vinieron bastante rápido junto con el menú, luego nos sentamos edades para que una camarera viniera y tomar nuestros pedidos, todos elegimos pescado con papas fritas. De nuevo esperamos mucho tiempo antes de que llegaran nuestras comidas, que no merecían la pena traer. ¡Mucho rebozado y pescado pequeño, y muchas patatas fritas! Esto nunca ha pasado antes. Siempre hemos comido en la zona del bar pero esta vez estuvimos en el conservatorio. Tan ruidoso que no pudimos tener una conversación adecuada juntos! (Necesita algunas placas de sonido suspendidas del techo). En general, una visita muy decepcionante. Lamentablemente no volveremos.

A popular dog friendly place. Nice food, attentive staff and good value!

Recently visited this place and was.left very disappointed with the food and service. The food is what you would expect in a weatherspoons. Most certainly would not eat there again as there are lots of better places to eat. Very poor........

Otra maravillosa comida con la familia. Siempre estoy un poco preocupado por poner comentarios sobre lugares brillantes que voy por si acaso cuando quiero ir de nuevo es tan popular que no puedo entrar. Este establecimiento es lo mejor de la comida el personal el ambiente es todo maravilloso. Ahí lo he dicho así que cuando reserve y estén llenos es mi culpa.

Brilliant service, good value for money thank you

I have been to the air hostess for a meal 3 times in the last 3 weeks. What a pleasure it was!!!! Lovely, happy staff. Everything I managed to try on the menu was delicious and prices were reasonable. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Nottingham. Keep up the great work

First time visiting this pub with friends and the food was amazing, lovely atmosphere, very nice family feel

Lovely Sunday lunch. Nice place and very good service. Well worth a visit

Attended friends 70th birthday celebration. Cannot fault the venue, food was excellent.

Great atmosphere and notable beer selection. What a transformation. We were only in for drinks but will return for a meal.

Very good busy pub offering great service food and real ale

Food, service and atmosphere fabulous! My husband even said he wished this was our local and I agree with him. The place was packed which tells you all you need to know!

Great food and atmosphere first time here have already booked to go again

Fantastic food, very popular and busy place. Friendly staff warm and welcoming.

Always enjoy my visits here, food is great, everyone is friendly. Definitely recommend

Quite simply one of the best pubs I've ever been to. Fantastic food, super friendly and helpful staff and a beautiful interior. We will definitely be coming again very soon. I can't believe I didn't know about this little gem of a pub. Thank you to all the team.

Very nice good value food and drinks.

We had heard so many good things about the air hostess but did not have time to visit. We finally did today and they did not disappoint, food was 1st class along with the service from the team. 5 stars all the way well done team.

Awful place some of the staff are very rude . Lots of other better establishments to go too.

Yet again myself and two of my family have dined at The Tollerton Air Hostess. Food, Staff, Atmosphere were and have been consistent for every visit throughout this year. I cannot thankyou enough. You are all so very hard working. Please continue to make all your customers as happy as I am.

Rubbish not as good as it's made out to be rude staff and be careful you may be overcharged so check your bills before payment .

Fabulous welcome for us and our noisy dachshund Lenny. Food was delicious, amazing service and atmosphere relaxed and perfect. We will definitely return ❤️

Very good good and atmosphere. Need to book

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. This is our go to pub for great tasty home-cooked food. Last night I had the steak in ale pie which was superb. But a bit of a shame that it just came with mash and no vegetables? Looked a bit bare on the plate – surely a few peas or carrots isn’t going to break the bank? !

Highly recommend this community pub and excellent restaurant, we went on a Thursday evening and the restaurant was buzzing, grest to see everyone enjoy great service and food. Steak night but other menu has grest options inc a wonderful Tofu, dish and the most amazingly cheesecake!.

Melt-in- the mouth Roast Sirloin Sunday lunch .... hadn't booked in, but accommodated in the bar end as a 'Walk -In' . Absolutely no fuss or bother, made as welcome as ever and the food was ace! Just as if it had been home -cooked!! Huge thank you Team Stess! N B....we were lucky as a walk- in : it may not have been possible if fully booked.

Staff attentive, friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic!

Visited for lunch with four family members on a Monday. A very well managed and run bar and restaurant serving a variety of well cooked and presented plates. This is a community owned and run place and all the better for it, with courteous and helpful staff. Unsurprisingly it was busy even on a Monday.

Rachel and Mark have brought their Normanton success to the Air Hostess. Great food at a reasonable price, mixed with good friendly service. A winner!! Update. Since posting the above review, we have visited many more times, and can confirm that the standard was equally top class. Thanks from AJ

We popped in here today for lunch and I was bowled over by the friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere (and it was a Monday lunchtime!). We booked a table and were glad we did as it was very busy, mostly with a more mature clientele. The table we had was lovely, very bright under the sky light and in the middle of a bustling area. It was a little loud for me as I struggle with sounds but the staff happily found us another table to sit at, even moving their own management to make space in a quieter area for us. The menu wasn't the biggest, but it covered all the bases and the food... WOW! It was brilliant food and big portions. I had a steak and ale pie which was gorgeous and my friend had the fish and chips, which could have been labelled whale and chips! The food was clearly freshly cooked and incredibly tasty. I wish I had taken pictures to go with my review so I could show how amazing it looked! I will 100% definitely be returning here for lunches and dinners.

A place I have been visiting frequently over the last few years and have never had a bad meal. The staff is well trained and very friendly. My preferred venue where I can sit outside with a light meal and a glass of white wine for lunch in the summer or have an evening meal by the fire on a cold winter day. There is only one thing... Because they are so good it becomes more challenging to get a table at short notice so I would recommend to book well in advance.

First visit and a lovely experience.

A brilliant place to visit. Excellent service and superb food. Only little criticism, it was a very noisy venue....perhaps because everyone was relaxed and wished to chat !

Just love this restaurant/pub! The menu is extensive, and the quality is excellent.

Went to air hostess Saturday food first class and the staff very friendly also great to meet up with family members

My first visit. Not my last. Very impressed with the service & Food. Group of 8 everyone enjoyed their food. Well done. Jb

Great food, excellent service from the staff.

Busy pub. Kids play area, good real ale

Best pub in a 15/20 mile radius Always comfortably busy without being crowded Great food Great drink Great atmosphere What a pub should be basically!! And the best chips ever!!

The best pub around! We're regular visitors now and will keep coming back. Book in advance if you're planning to eat, particularly on Steak night on a Thursday!

Really nice food, lovely staff and nice place. Dog friendly too

Our 1st booking here on Saturday night for 4. Lovely tasting and well presented food. Staff are cheerful and helpful. Very busy inside and out and a really nice atmosphere. Thanks.

Went to the brilliantly organised beer festival this year. Great food, drinks and a buzzing atmosphere!

Great Summer vibe for our Anniversary meal. Greeted by friendly staff who smiled alot and were chatty and approachable. Food was unbelievable and full of great flavours.

What a gorgeous Summer vibe. Friendly smiling staff were chatty and informative. The food was out of this world with stunning flavours, textures and beautiful to look at.

Had a table booked within the restaurant today. We were placed at the back end were we waited around 15-20 minutes to have a drinks order. Eventually we decided to order from the bar, when someone had arrived to take this. After an elderly couple behind us, told us they had waited 15 minutes for a drink, once it had been ordered. We told the waitress we would collect our own drinks from the bar. But we’d like to order some food. She explained shebwill have to get the head waitress to take this. Another 10 minutes passed. Still no waitress in sight. At this the children are becoming restless as they’re hungry. My sister went to get another drink from the bar and over heard the waitress saying to another waitress that they’ll will just after wait to order. Which we don’t mind but we waited to excess and there was no need to make such a rude comment! We didn’t get this waitresses name, but she was in a white shirt, with blonde tied back hair and a slight full parted fringe. After asking twice more to order we eventually after 46 minutes of being seated had our order taken. Pretty poor service to say the least. Our food arrived promptly. One item incorrect. But was changed. Then arrived wrong again, however was changed. The peas on the children’s menu tasted of some sort of washing up detergent. Once all meals were finished, no ask if our meals were ok during the time we was eating I must add. We again asked the rude waitress if we could order some pudding, she snappily told us that we’d need the head waitress. I proceeded to ask her what milk free alternative were on offer for the children’s menu, as two of the children we’re dairy intolerant. She snapped back at me and explained that she wasn’t dealing with this and Brierley was. Again no need to be so rude to a customer. If you can’t not be polite then working in a restaurant isn’t a job for her. After a few minutes we had to flag another waitress down to take a deserts order, again to be told it had to be taken by the head waitress. Again we waited and it was eventually taken a little more swiftly this time. We asked if we could have them outside as the children were becoming restless. Which was fine and they brought them out. Overall its left a sour taste in our mouth. It’s pretty clear that some of the staff lack basic manners. We were regular customers visiting at least twice a month. But I think I will be considering were I spend my money in the future. 10 very unhappy customers and business lost today.

The Air Hostess is one of my favourite pubs/restaurants. The food is consistently amazing. You can go for a 3 course meal if you wish, or a lighter bite: either way I have never been let down. There is a dedicated children's menu that provides kid classics and currently they have a dino exploration ice cream for dessert, keeps them entertained! The appearance of the pub is of a high standard and the service is excellent. There is a little play area for children, so the kids can be amused whilst they wait for their food to arrive. Booking is advised as it's popular, but I have also not yet been turned away as a walk-in. Although I have never taken mine, dogs are welcome, and I believe there is a small car park available.

Friendly atmosphere , good service.

Always good clean great service

By my brother in-laws super pub had a beer festival on when I last visited a lot of work put into it but a super afternoon

Sunday lunch was excellent. The roast pork loin was delicious, good choice of vegetables. The only negative was the half portion of yorkshire pudding on the smaller lunch serving. The lemon cheese cake was also excellent

Yesterday we returned to the Air Hostess, for the first time this year & certainly weren’t disappointed. The service was excellent, warm & friendly. The food, I had the haddock, my wife had the burger, was well presented & delicious. Along with a couple of drinks & all for less than £50, we won’t be leaving it so long for our next visit

Good Sunday lunch and plenty too. Great service with a smile nothing too much trouble in this lovely pub. Prices pretty reasonable, good value for money. Will call in again soon. Just wish the knives had been a little sharper.

A lovely family get together with superb food and professional friendly service, very recommended.

Food excellent,...glad we booked in advance

We have been before and had a nice meal and the service was great, but today was disappointing. Yes it was busy but no more than the last time and it took 2 hours from arriving to paying the bill. We waited 20 minutes to order, 50 minutes for our meals to be arrive and 25 minutes for 2 tubs of kids ice cream which we had to ask about. It felt like because we aren’t regulars our custom wasn’t wanted. A shame as the food was nice.

A massive thank you to Rachel & the team today for our family meal after our Dad's internment. We sat outside in the sunshine 🌞, the food & service were amazing, and it was truly special in a place that he loved. This pub is the beating heart if Tollerton. You are very lucky if you live in the village! 10/10 again. See you soon . Thank you for a lovely experience

Brilliant place lovely food and great staff.

So happy we found this place. It's a lovely atmosphere, spacious and great setting. Staff are really welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious and perfect portions and price. We had the butternut squash soup and parmesan chips followed by a beautiful sorbet. It's definitely going to a family hang out.

Not the Air Hostess, I remember, as the menu was completely different. I know places change menus, but this menu was not as good as the last one. Also while waiting for a booked table , took around 20 minutes to get served and there was no one at the bar!

We are regulars at air hostess and have always had incredbile service their food is reasonable priced and always delicious.

Went for the first time today and was not disappointed, great seating areas inside and out , the place is spotless 👍🏻 staff are very welcoming and very efficient 👍🏻 we both had the twice cooked belly pork which was absolutely amazing. Definitely will go back again. Keep up the great work.

Really good pub, sold to me by a colleague, who I'd one of the share holders. Fantastic Community owned pub, really beautiful and clean too. So pleased we visited and had a super drink and meal.

The nicest village pub to spend a sunny bank holiday afternoon.

Last minute visit on a Monday night with the family, we phoned up last minute and they managed to squeeze us in. The staff were lovely and incredibly friendly, the food was excellent, but what we enjoyed most was the atmosphere and community feel about the place - would definitely recommend! We’ll be back!

First time I had been food was very good bit pricey for certain things

Great value food,varied menu,loads of it, good value for money

Visiting family really enjoyed the venue food was excellent and service was attentive. Would definitely return .

Beautiful food,staff, landlord Mark,,barman perhaps not beautiful but certainly knows how to keep beer,great place..(I had fish and chips!!)

Went for Sunday lunch with friends. Very nice place, the food was excellent, the service was not lacking, despite it being very busy! Looking forward to going again.

Lovely welcome , busy for a weekday which is always a good sign . Food was varied and really good our dog was made very welcome will def return.

I went to this pub for the first time and I have to say it was outstanding food. No wonder it is always fully booked up. You also have to ring up to avoid disappointment which says it all. I also have to say that the sticky toffee pudding is out of this world. It is the best that I have had so far in the UK.

First and last time. The Sausage was so hard I could't hardly cut it never mind eat it - they were rock hard. My wife's pork wasn't cooked and she left most of the meal. When we mentioned the food to the waitress, we were told that the chef had said they had been cooking the sausages all day but ours must have been dodgy. They said they were sorry but took all the money anyway. We wont be back.

One of my favourite pubs - but St Patrick's day entertainment was dreadful. Not a single Irish song 🤔. Poor show. Try to get it right next year.

Lovely food enjoyed as always with friendly staff. Very busy on a Thursday lunchtime says it all. I recommend you book in plenty of time.

We finally got a table here, and it was worth it! The gammon was amazing. My mum had the crumble and said it was the best she'd ever tasted. The cheesecake was to die, for although the base was a bit too crumbly. The only thing that spoiled it for us, and a couple of tables around us, was that a child was watching her ipad (in the next room), and it was extremely loud. We all felt that the staff should have mentioned this to the parents, not the diners. Despite this, we have already tried to book, but the dates we'd like are already full!

Great food, great service, great price, always good, love it there!

Good food and service, if your going there for food you will need to book.

Excellent meal and service. And really good value

I didn't make the right choice of food but would definitely go again!

Pleasant community pub. Good range of real ale. Good food. Busy so best to book if you're eating. Not sure about wheelchair access- we approached from the car park & went up stairs.

Brilliant meal, a gem of a restaurant on my doorstep that I didn't know existed till recently. Definitely going back.

This pub in the heart of Tollerton is owned by many of the locals, which has no doubt contributed to its success. It has a great management team and brilliant staff. The wine menu is excellent and the food is OK. You will need to book as this is a popular spot.

First visit. Recommended. All four of us had meals we loved and would have again. The staff were lovely - helpful and friendly. No wonder it's popular.

Lovely experience on Steak Night. Very delicious food, managed to squeeze us in even though they were packed out so next time will book further in advance!

Best pub in the area a must go too

Have visited quite a few times and the food and service is always excellent. Came on Tuesday, my husband had the Salmon starter which he said would not be out of place in a Michelin establishment, i had the duck parfait which was equally delicious with a good amount of toast (so many places are tight on the toast!) We both had the turkey dinner and we both agreed that would take some beating ! Of couse we had the full size portion that was very generous and filled us both (and my husband takes some filling ! ) Note there is a smaller portion available too if required. Couldnt manage dessert just finished with coffee. Excellent value for quality of food served. Will be back soon, thank you, Andrea
