The Apple Tree in Rushcliffe

Love the place The staff are brilliant food is absolutely delicious and very good value for your money never have I had a bad meal there and the place is just very relaxing

On our way back from Peterborough, my wife urgently needed a bathroom break. Sensing an opportunity, I made a little deal: we’d stop somewhere for her, but in return, I’d get to escape the heat of the car for a couple of hours, and she’d drive the rest of the journey. As I quickly Googled for a place to stop, I stumbled upon this pub and immediately knew it was my kind of spot. While my wife dashed off to the bathroom, I made a beeline for the bar. I was greeted by a friendly chap, probably in his 30s, who walked me through their current selection with the kind of knowledge you rarely find in pubs these days. When my wife reappeared, she shot me a playful glare and gave me a quick smack on the arm. “You know I agreed to drive, and now I can't after a cocktail!”. Lucky for me, I had anticipated this and ordered her a Berry Burst from their mocktail menu. She loved it. We found a cozy spot to sit, and soon after, my secret order arrived. Now, I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but with two spoons delivered, I can always pretend I ordered dessert as a loving gesture. Hopefully, she doesn’t read this review and catch on! The chocolate orange pudding was just the pick-me-up I needed after having my foot on the pedal for the past hour. As we finished up, I found myself wishing we had time for a full meal, but with a bit of road still ahead, we reluctantly got back in the car. I thoroughly enjoyed our impromptu stop. Places like this are a rare find these days.

Came here with my elderly mum, who is quite fussy lol, and was made to feel really welcome. I’d highly recommend the grilled seabass! Great value for money and really friendly service especially from Pete who was really attentive to our needs.

Can not fault at all amazing food and service all freindly and polite clean place with a great atmosphere. deffently be going again

Took friends there for lunch as a "thank you" for their help. Plenty car parking, few people there, booked a table in advance. So I was really surprised to be treated as a nuisance. Kept waiting at bar by barman, who wasn't serving anyone else, no "I'll be with you in a minute". Begrudged serving us, every drink was a trial, lots of deep sighs, no " would you like ice & a slice?". No receipt offered, when requested just given credit card receipt not VAT one. Plus lots of requests to repeat what we were saying, every action in slow motion. Food was OK for the price but the barman seemed to resent us interrupting him from whatever he was doing. Deleted the app, won't be back, shame as it's near.

Had a fab night at The Appletree! 🍎🌲 We came here last weekend for some drinks with a few friends and had a brilliant night! Great atmosphere and the team were so helpful with cocktail recommendations!

Had a lovely evening with my partner. Food was excellent, we had a curry and a mixed grill. Both were great tasting and good value for money. Would recommend

The new skewer is lovely definitely recommend with fries can't wait for next visit. Staff was great and very helpful thank you.

Visited Apple tree in wilford on a sunday waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for a roast dinner. we ordered a 1 course meal half roast chicken, gammon dinner was not impressed by the meal when it came to us, chicken leg on the plates 😡( NOT a half roast chicken) pub was not busy at all so don't no why we had to wait 1 hour 20 minutes. We had Christmas Dinner at the same pub the Christmas dinner looked the same as the Sunday roasts, how bazaar !

Lovely place... Good service and nicely prepared food served hot. I love the open fires and decor which offer a lovely warm atmosphere. Staff are both friendly and helpful, I didn't have to wait around which makes a nice change... I just wish it was my own local.

Lovely place the chipotle chicken is amazing staff very friendly the real fire makes it welcoming and homely will be making this my regular from now on.

Wonderful Christmas Day dinner at the Apple Tree. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly and efficient. So accommodating when I said I have a back injury. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was was buzzing and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, thank you.

Visited here with my parents and son, outstanding food and service. My 1 year olds food came out just before ours and he enjoyed every piece of it. Also a little section of toys in the children’s section to play for after. Our food was cooked to perfection the portion sizes were huge.. would like to do a special mention to our waitress lordes & to Claire who gave us a fantastic welcome Thankyou!

I love the decor, and the welcoming open fireplace (fire was lit today). There was only one person behind the bar, but he was friendly and helpful. The food came out quickly. My husband had a roast dinner, which he said was decent. I had Sea Bass, which was overcooked (although that's better than being undercooked), with soggy skin (fried then microwaved?), 3 bits of asparagus, and some new potatoes - they were al dente (fine for me) but tasteless and not seasoned. Standard pub chain food.

Beat Bottomless Brunch around! Full English for 2 and brunch burgers for the rest! Beautiful food and great service from the whole team! Forgot to take a picture before and clean plates all round

Staff were really friendly and helpful food was excellent nice and hot and value for money I have a tomato allergy which I was asked before ordering food if I had any allergies will definitely return again

We have recently started visiting fairly regularly. The food is always hot, arrived promptly and the staff are friendly and keen to ensure your visit was satisfactory. This evening there was an issue with my meal which was resolved quickly which meant I wasn’t eating alone because the rest of my partly had finished their meal. There was no fuss just good service.

Been coming here for a couple of years, always had a lovely meal and great service, usually on a friday. Went last night for the steak offer on the app. The wait at the bar was ridiculous, only one lady serving rushing from one end of the bar to the other. Another lady appeared and we got served. Waited over half an hour for our meals, two steaks and one scampi. Had to ask for cutlery as weren't given any. The scampi was ok however the steaks were awful, chewy tough and very bloody. My son and my hubby had to keep spitting it into a tissue. No one came over to ask if all was ok. The usual staff were not there, the long haired gent and the very dark haired lady, they are brilliant. We had our xmas day dinner here last year which was fantastic, and were going to book again this year, with extra family members but are now looking else ware. Very disappointed

Had dinner with a bottomless drinks package that was fantastic value for money. We were really well looked after throughout and lady rose was singing which was a lovely added perk.

Great night out with friends. Great artist on and excellent atmosphere. Recommend for a entertaining evening.

Such a disappointing visit. I asked at the bar if I could have the Vegan Burger but with actual cheese rather than vegan as I'm veggie not vegan. The server asked someone from the kitchen to come out and review the request to make sure it was okay. The girl from the kitchen came out and rolled her eyes in front of me. I asked the server what the problem was and she explained it was a vegan burger not veggie. I didn't feel the server was at fault but was trying to tip toe around the cook having a whinge at the request. What I asked was a very simple request. She made me feel such a burden. Mum ordered fish and chips, was mostly batter and fish was such poor quality. Came with about 10 chips. Butter was rock hard on bread and butter so unspreadable. Food took about 35 mins to come and there was hardly anyone in. The team leader seemed to look over and see my Mum hadn't eaten her meal at all but didn't approach us to find out why. Probably didn't care enough. Been many times and always found it good but will never come back after such a bad experience and rude staff who don't appreciate the business. Was booked for Father's Day tomorrow but cancelled because the place doesn't deserve the custom.

The food was amazing and the new menu is absaloutly stunning the gold go well together and the pub is really tidy and neat would recommend 100 percent

Food was great hot and tasty deffently go back service great staff was friendly welcoming couldn't have had a better experience

This place came highly recommended by my aunt. I have not been disappointed. Good fantastic. Good seating. Good lighting. Staff are all amazing.

Food was delicious and big portions! Lots of seating outside and has lovely beer garden! Service was spot on too

We found your place very friendly welcoming clean. My family love coming there as the food id good enough served on a plate. Puddings are lovely too. We never encountered problems in your pub ad normally 7 of Us come to eat there.

We had a fantastic time thank you, brilliant service by the young lady behind the bar. We will be back

Had an amazing meal over the weekend with my partner, plenty of wines to choose from and had a rib eye steak which was cooked to perfection! The pub itself brings a home from home feel!

10 out of 10 on food quality and service! Really enjoyed my visit to the apple tree! Deffo be back! My Sunday dinner was cooked to perfection!

After a hard days work, on a very cold evening the promise of a roaring fire and great food seemed a very welcoming expectation. The two of us attended the venue, the pride of mushrooms were literally balls of grease of which I could saturate...

We always love coming to the apple tree! The food is always lovely and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend :)

The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The food and drinks were great quality with fast service. Would really recommend the Apple tree.

They were quite busy this lunchtime and did warn of a 45 minute wait but my meal arrived after 15 minutes. It was well cooked and tasted it good. Staff were friendly and efficient. Wes2 served me and he was excellent.

A cold chilled lager on a hot night at the Apple tree ...short ,simple & refreshing! For once a quiet night out at the apple tree for a quiet refreshing lager.

Made the journey with family yesterday looking for some nice food and a friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately the apple tree had neither. Lazy staff, poor service ( the landlady who I must admit has a booming masculine voice that could be heard throughout the public house) just chatting not assisting staff! Food was a disappointment raw vegetables and burnt potatoes, not hot how I like my food! Such a strange atmosphere not friendly at all. And the dogs!!!???? When customers are there to eat!! However the gin selection was refreshing but definitely won’t be returning.

Wow!!just pub full of dogs...under tables..at side of tables even 1 on a seat!! This is a pub serving FOOD at ALL tables..this is disgusting and has been reported to EHO ..smells of dogs everywhere ...even folk using those long leads to let them go whereever they want ...avoid for just hygeine reasons

We like the Apple Tree, one because it’s convenient and secondly the food is good and reasonably priced. What lets it down is the service.

Great service, Polite staff, and lovely delicious food ! We had 3 courses and every course was tasty and at a very good price. we really enjoyed it, manager was very welcoming and kind. The pub itself is beautiful and very clean, a credit to its staff! we will definitely be back and couldn’t recommend a better place overall. Thank you.

We held a baby shower for my sister at The Apple Tree earlier today and everyone has been raving about how great it was. The manager was so attentive and helped us getting everything set up, nothing we asked was too much. The day went so well that my family is now planning on holding my granddad's 90th here. We chose the buffet option B with some vegetarian/vegan options. The food was delicious and certainly not your standard buffet fare. A lovely range of food and reasonably priced. We cannot thank you enough for the hospitality that you showed us. Definitely a 5/5 and will certainly recommend. A brilliant end to a hectic but wonderful week where my nephew decided to make an impromptu appearance 6 days ago, obviously desperate to attend the party :D

We went here for my mums 50th birthday meal, there was a group of 15 adults and 5 children. Service was amazing and food was so tasty... the menu had plenty of choice and something for everyone. The staff were really helpful when we made a few changes to the order, and they checked back to make sure everything was ok. Staff including manager was really friendly and made us feel very welcome. The pub it self was really nice and very clean. Defo would recommend to anyone and will be back again soon!! Thank you :)

Poor food burnt and tastless, bad attitude when complaining, will be writing to Head Office. Understaffed Avoid this place

Really nice meal and the whole family enjoyed it would recommend The value on the children's meal was good as my nephew loved it

Lovely location and great food. The sun was shining so sat in the garden it was very nice food was served quickly. Very enjoyable visit

Asked by the waiting staff if everything is ok with our meals but found out they really not care for your true opinion if nothing but positive. Had a problem with my lunch which I have ordered before but today was just not up to scratch with the side salad garnish missing and the lattice fries looking as if they were made up from bits left at the bottom of the fryer. Generally did not taste that great. When the manageress came over felt like I was being told off - I was not after a remedy or money off just passing on my feedback. Just not going to go back or alternatively remember to say everything is fine, even when it is not.

Wednesday afternoon decided to have a drink in the sunshine, had to wait at the bar to be served as no staff present, one member of staff in the back and another chatting to her boyfriend in the main bar and had to ask if anyone was serving, when eventually served by a young man he was nonchalant and couldn't be bothered it was if I was a irritant not even an apology for being kept waiting. On sitting outside there were numerous tables that were full of glasses and plates, we were there for 2 hours and these were still there when we left !!!! Toilets although actual toilet was clean all the walls and doors were dirty and stained not sure what the cleaners are being paid for. This venue has really gone down hill and we will not be going again,

El domingo Fuimos un grupo de 6, 2 almuerzo de domingo que carne era prácticamente incomible, pastel de pollo 1 había que era insípido y 3 tenían torta de carne, que era bueno.

Llevé a mi hija abuela y su bebé para el almuerzo en el menú de la cena comimos sí era 6.99 cada uno, pero en miedo mi comida era incomible. Entrantes sopa bien y eran Nachos tuve que esperar mucho tiempo para estos. Campo principal de una hora. Cuando llegamos, mis hijas pasta puré seco mi salchicha y puré era repugnante de enviarlo más barato y se calentó salchichas con un montón de sal en niños. Me dieron mi dinero de mi comida, pero ninguna disculpa o explicación. No contentos con comida o servicio no volveremos ni lo recomendaremos.

Llamado en un miércoles por la noche para la cena. ¿Qué puedo decir aparte de... Un auténtico desastre!!! 1 horas y 15 minutos de espera por £48 botas vale la pena vieja. 2 x mezclado, parrillas y un bistec serloin que sólo puede identificarse a través de sus registros dentales. Juego justo el director que dio un reembolso completo (gracias), pero... Venga por la noche wed... No es bueno. Cero de 10... Más personal y un cocinero que sabe lo que significa medio!!!!! No volveremos!

For a Sunday lunchtime at 1pm it was pretty quiet here, we’d eaten here in the past and experiences were variable but overall we’d been satisfied enough to return, after our experiences on this occasion however we’ll definitely never be back.

El ambiente era bueno, pero el chef debe haber tenido la semana, sombrío como la calidad de la comida era pobre. El primer plato era correosos, y mi plato estaba recocido, lo cual no es bueno para un risotto.
