The Burnt Stump in Gedling

Beautiful place, wide open dog friendly. We didn't have food but what we seen looked really nice.

Ropey don’t go. All the tables were covered with used glasses and plates the whole time I was there and it wasn’t busy so no excuse. Ordered a vegan chilli lunch portion and there was about 2 spoons of chilli with it. Which was watery and weird. The tables were sticky. The food was horrible. No satisfaction check after serving which I’m not surprised about because I’d have told them it was poor. I had to ask for cutlery and saw other people doing the same. Tables look as the other reviews state. Tired and the place smells like pubs used to back in the day. Which would be nostalgic if it weren’t for all the other things wrong with it. The only thing going for it is the view.

came to the burnstump park to take the dogs for a walk. parked the car in the car park next to the exit as we couldient find any spare paking spaces. once we had taken the dogs for a walk we decided to have a coffee and a small meal. on the 12th May i recived a parking fine stateing that we had parked on private land . you dont expect ro be issued a fine when you go for a walk and a meal totely unjustified very expensive day out i will be apealing this charge and take my concerns up with the brewary wont be useing you again if this is the way you treat your customer T Bellaby

Cheap chain pub feeling. Not great service. The park is brilliant though.

Lovely experience, staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was lovely. I had fish and chips and really enjoyed it. Great cosy pub vibes with a lovely outdoor garden

Always come here to walk our dog Lexi. Staff, always friendly and go the extra mile.

Booked a table for 20 people, everything was perfect

Lovely setting, food mostly good steak was a little chewy and fatty but rest was nice x

Love the staff nice people we all ways come here we enjoyed meal too

Lovely atmosphere, lovely food and attentive staff

From the very 1st impression, things went dramatically downhill. I first went to the bar and asked for a peach and jasmine soda water, the lady argued saying they don't have one. I told her it was on the app outside on the qr code, she then argued further saying I must be on a different app. Eventually a younger girl came along whispered something in her ear then she found the drink, no apologies or reflection. I then asked for a red wine only from Europe, she then to my horror picked up a bottle and said eaten Australia, I was gobsmacked and questioned in my head was she joking, apparently not. Then I tried to order food and she insisted I need a table number, I was unable to order. Then my friend ordered directly from the app, and to say the cauliflower wings were awful is a gross underestimate, when it came this very bubbly girl came with no cutlery and said if you want it it's inside. This was my first time at this establishment and will be the last. What a truly embarrassing time this was for your company.

Always busy and always constantly good service.

Great service, staff are always friendly, food always tastes lovely and arrives quick and warm! Definitely recommend:)

Love this pub. Staff are very friendly and the food is always great. Would recommend to anyone. Especially families.

Good food! Amazing service from Cameron, made me feel very welcome.

Kebab and fries with chicken thighs and peri peri sauce was awesome. Beef chilli with rice and nachos, lots of rice but not much chilli.

Had a loverly meal tonight mega mixed grill was value for money well worth the wait , resturant was a nice busy night with most tables full great service from the loverly man behind the bar 👍 will be visiting again

Amazing food ! Very recommended

An impromptu tea tonight and as always a lovely meal here at The Burnt stump. There is a good chef in this kitchen and the bar staff are friendly. Thank you all

Really enjoyable food and very friendly staff but in my opinion drinks are massively overpriced which is a shame as it would be nice to stay longer but at over £6 for a pint of beer is unacceptable to me, I appreciate it is a sign of the times but it’s also a reason pubs are closing

My first time here, the place is lovely and I love how it overlooks however the food took a really long time to come out, starters came out with the mains so there was literally no point of ordering starters, when the food came out it was mediocre, the gravy was supper runny and tasted of nothing on the roast beef, the buttermilk chicken on the mac and cheese was overdone and very dry however the mac and cheese itself was good. Ordered a salted caramel cookie brownie after mains, you could tell it’s been sat out for a while. Doubt we will come here again as it was really disappointing even after we’ve been recommended this place

Fantastic big breakfast for under £10. Will be visiting again soon

A good venue, good food and great that it’s dog friendly.

I went last Friday with four friends and I have to say that the hospitality we received was second to none. The staff were attentive, very dog friendly, and helpful. The food, was delicious! The mega mixed grill was cooked to perfection, as were the chicken burger and ribs. Will definitely revisit - thank you :-)

Meg was great, super helpful asked about intolerances! Food came super quick and was nice! Lovely atmosphere , will come back again!

A lovely place to eat, we came for a Sunday late lunch after a walk out nearby. My only gripe is the wait times, and it is almost always the same "just a little slow." The food however is really nice and the staff very helpful.

Overpriced drinks & not served in correct gin glass missing a slice of lemon or lime toilets smelly & tatty

Frist time coming will definitely come back food was nice staff very nice polite

Just a lovely place to eat and great service nice people 👍

Fab place to eat. Very dog friendly 😊

Amazing service from Milli!! Good food and value for money. Will definitely come back.

OK, food. Great park safe for walking the dog or letting youngsters burn off energy. Don't forget to put your car reg into the machine in the reception area.

The place really needs a refurbished. Tables and chairs in bad condition. Also the tall young lad behind the bar made no eye contact and seemed depressed like he didn’t want to be there and like it was a chore to help us. The other staff though were fine. The food was actually really good compared to previous visits so please keep this up.

Came here thanks to a 30% discount voucher received through the post. Used to come here all the time as it was near where school friends lived and was convenient but not been there for a while. Anyway, welcoming service and kind hosting. Marstons set the drinks prices and they're absolutely extortionate - please review. The food was fresh and tasty and really good value for money. Only had a burger and chips but was really good to be fair and a lot better than I remember from when I last went. What you come here for is the surroundings and the setting, it's absolutely beautiful. I look forward to coming back again in the future in the summer and enjoying a drink and some food outside. A big well done and note of appreciation to the staff on duty, you're all superstars.

Very enjoyable experience good food Charlotte was very helpful and professional.

Food is nothing special but location is lovely.

Very good service, pleasant staff

We called in with the family on our way home from our day out to get some food because we didn't want to cook when we got home but the bar area was a little bit scruffy and the tables outside had food and glasses all over them. It wasn't what I expected but gets quite busy so it might being a day that we just caught them on a bad one.

Friendly staff, quick service & great food

The food took nearly 45 minutes after half an hour they told us one of our items was out of stock , it was overpriced for what it was , I asked for a medium rare steak and it came very well done , the drinks were pure extortion. Won’t bother going back

Came to the burnt stump on a nice sunny day, mid week, it was very busy so service wasn’t the best but they were short staff so I understand as I work in the industry as well. We kept on seeing a girl running in and out of the pub clearing plates and glasses, when she cleared our plates she told us her name was Charlotte, every time we saw her she always had a smile on her face.

Went with a friend for a Birthday treat.. The service was slow and food was awful.. Gamon was under cooked, the peas was hard like bullets and the egg was under cooked.. I asked to see the manager but was told they wasn't in and the woman who handled it was rude. I would not recommend eating there.

food was very disappointing - the nachos were missing the guacamole, when we mentioned this the waitress went to fetch some only to come back and say it wasn't on because there wasn't any - we should be told this at time of of ordering or certainly before the food comes out in case we prefer to order something else - very cheap tasting nachos and they would be nicer if they were served with real cheese & sour cream - I ordered the veggie chilli - so again no guacamole & the chilli was poor & watery - presumably frozen & microwaved - my husband had the gammon which was burnt in parts & stringy, fries were mushy & not crispy - we have no plans to come back!

I had booked a table of 6 for my 50th birthday. We arrived and went to order food / initially 2 of the 4 starters were unavailable, then went on to order the main courses and 2 of the 6 were unavailable we then chose something else to be advised that these were unavailable too and so chose again - not a good start, we then waited well over an hour for our food which some was lovely and some was cold but by this point it was gone 8.30 - we booked at 7 so wasn’t going to send back but no one checked if our food was ok anyway! To be honest for a special family birthday meal it was ruined. I spent over £170 and feel we were robbed! Also the starters we chose they only had part of and said they would double up the portion as they couldn’t change the price and that certainly wasn’t the case as we got about 8 pieces of popcorn chicken!

Booking was easy, completed online. We received a friendly welcome and were immediately directed to our table. Ordering was simple and service good. The food was very nice, aided as we were with a 30% discount voucher for the main courses.

The manager thinks because my son and his friend started their motor bikes in the car to leave after spending money in the pub , she can blackmail him in to leaving 5 good reviews about her pub online and wants him to write a letter of apology How's about this ya pubs overpriced and needs a good clean love and u should treat your staff better because you are abusing your powers as management and I will take this higher if needs be because your not bullying My son like you do your staff !! And as for them waking up your child if you was that bothered you wouldn't live above a pub , and as for your parking fine your also blackmailing him with I will see you in court first as their are no signs to say you have to enter your reg or promoting from staff on arrival, but this can be 1 of your 5 reviews or I could go 1 better and go to the local PAPER !! And tell them local pub landlady likes to bully young teenage boys !! I will also be contacting Marston

Decent pub food, but had a burger and the lettuce was really soggy and no other greens on it. Giving three stars because I assume it's not always like this and it wasn't exactly different than my expectation. We arrived and there was only one table free and clean; next to an open exterior door. We spotted no less than 8 (!) dirty tables with dishes and food on. The staff are mostly very young and despite being personable and friendly, there didn't seem to be any sense of urgency, lots of hanging around, chatting to the manager and colleagues. The manager, bless her, was very lovely, running around doing all the jobs, serving people l, checking in on the guests. She was wonderful, but she could do with more pro-active staff. She gets all three stars. The place is unfortunately falling apart, dirty, broken and messy. It's a shame because it's a wonderful location and it used to be a lovely pub with great food.

Food took ages to come and no customer service at all

I am writing this standing in a queue for nearly 20 minutes. 2 people working the bar, 2 queues, and they are walking like my gran behind it. Clearly understaffed. Ridiculous on a week like this week (SunnyAf)

Quality service at the Burnt Stump. Friendly staff, had sorted out our reservation promptly. Everything in place, beautiful food. Cannot fault. Thank you :)

The burnt stump is in a really nice location looks lovely from the outside but very disappointed with the cleanliness inside only to walk out to go bk to our car and the staff shouting and swearing across the car park at some of there friends thrashing a motorbike where there is lots of kids.

Good food friendly service and a 2 for one offer on mains. What's not to like?

Very quick service staff very pleasant and food very good

Regular visitors Excellent food, price, and landlady who is always accommodating.

Lovely place to go iv had the bangers and mash Sunday roast absolutely looks nice to try get yourself down here for a drink or a meal enjoy the outdoor space for dogs and yes they do a doggy menu for dogs

Ordered steak and chips, overcooked and tasteless!!! Wetherspoons is better and that's saying something.

Had Mothering Sunday lunch here. Lovely food, could order from the set mother's Day menu or the normal Sunday lunch menu. Food arrived quite quickly and hot. The pub was packed so we were pleased with the service from the kitchen. Pleasant staff and huge portions. Dog friendly, and a great location.

We had a great experience. The staff were all very friendly. The food was amazing. So dog friendly as well will definitely be back

If i could it zero stars i would. Awful. So awful we couldn't complain because we were laughing so much it was a farse. Food came out. Salad put onto a hot 🔥 plate. Warm salad 🤢. Jacket potato drier than the sahara desert had to lather it in mayo. Peri peri chicken overcooked some of it was so dry it was like cardboard. My sister had the hunters chicken baguette the bread was stale/dry she's glad she had sauce on it. Sister in law had the smaller portion of the hunters chicken. Didn't know chickens had cheeks because that was the size of the chicken portion. Salad with this dish again on a hot plate so the few salad leaves that was classed as a salad were wilted. Will definitely not be back or recommending it.

Lovely meal but had to check up on some of mains and then waited for sides.

Food not that good chips over cooked sausage burnt slow on service staff were OK table was sticky first time going wouldn't be going back last call was 9pm bit silly ran out of fish and this was at 6.30pm

Arrived this afternoon with a party of 7. Big sign at the entry saying 'sit at any unreserved table' We found a big enough table for us all, upon sitting down we where told by a rude Woman who worked there that it was the 'staff table' and we couldn't sit there. A staff table that wasn't being used and was big enough for 8 people in the middle of the pub, lost them our custom!! We went and enjoyed our meal elsewhere.

Had surf and turf and I must say it was cooked to perfection thank you so much

Normally love this place , the foods always been lovely , unfortunately the last time we went , food took about an hour and half , then it was brought out at separate times and my granddaughters meal wasn't brought out at all , when we told the waiting on staff he was brilliant , very apologetic and gave us all free desserts, more staff need to be on at busy days and times , and definitely need to review their food , a shame really as it's a beautiful place

Came with the Mrs and dog had a lovely walk around the woods, then went in the pub for some food and a drink where we was greeted by the really friendly staff, the dog even got a handful of treats. Top marks burntstump!

The food and service were pretty good but the place itself was absolutely disgusting. Broken filthy furniture. The bathrooms were deplorable. I dread to think what the kitchen looks like

Nice pub. Food was good, but the steak was a little tough with a gristle running through it. But that is often the way with steaks. Had an excellent burger here a few weeks ago though, and the rest of our small party were happy with their food. Very dog friendly with treats, water and a dog menu. Nice views, easy parking and a nice walk right outside the door.

We've been to celebrate a birthday and pre-cooked the table, the pub is dog friendly. Atmosphere was lovely in the pub and service was friendly and quick. Food was hot and delicious and all 5 meals were eaten in full, (3 meals were the Thursday steak and drink offer). Enjoyed the atmosphere so much we stayed for dessert. Thanks we will be back.

It used to be a good pub to dine in and have a few drinks but lately it has gone down hill and specialy the manager is very rude too. I also got a parking fine which there it used to be a free parking and also none of the staff never told me anything to register my car in the system even though I spoke to the pub manager today and she was very rude and not helpful at all. I think they are trying to make some money through the parking fines now because they have lost all the customers with their bad service and the poor quality of food. We used to go there very often but never again .

Food was greasy and over cooked

Its always a pleasure to visit the burntstump. Staff are always super friendly (particularly meg) and the food is delicious

I have frequented the Burnt Stump for many years. The service has usually been excellent. It started to decline about 3 years ago and has not recovered. The problem lies with the management of the serving staff. While the food is very good. The tables are often dirty and left uncleared. I visited again today at about 2-30pm. The bar staff bordered on rudeness. What with their yes no answers they couldnt have been less welcoming. The Burnt Stump is desperately in need of refurbishment, so is the floor staff. Food, no problem.

Such a shame what's happened to this place over the last 5 years or so. The place is falling apart, and while the staff who are there try to do the best they can, there's simply not enough of them. I'm sure covid is mostly to blame, but it needs some investment - now!

Terrible food. The place looks like it’s been abandoned. No care for there furniture. Implemented private companies to charge you if you don’t sign your car in. Therefore forcing you to go inside when you just want to go for a walk. The car park shouldn’t even be allowed to be called one as it’s full of pot holes and uneven ground. for people who have been coming here for years then get fined as your not aware of the change is a big put off. So I won’t be visiting again.

Great food reasonably priced, it has become a goto when coming back from Nottingham. Dogs very much welcome which is nice

Large party of 10, some ordered at the bar, some on the app. Pub was very busy but service and food were good.

They do a dog menu, free treats and blankets for the dogs.

Really disappointing. Booked a table which was occupied when we arrived so staff had to move people. Was seated right next to the pool table, so close was it to our table that my friend was almost hit in the head by people playing and had to dodge pool ques. Walked up to the bar only to wait for 15 minutes and be routinely ignored by bar staff. Other staff doing pointless jobs whilst the par is packed (like stacking mugs?) Leaving one staff member to try and serve everyone. Pub is very run down. Menu has been significantly reduced, so not much choice. In the end we walked out and went somewhere else without ordering anything. Such a shame. Really poor service.

Great place lovely menu and service

Very poor service and hygiene smells of dogs

This is such a lovely homely pub. Very family and dog friendly, but also a lovely relaxed atmosphere for date night. Me and my husband visited for tea with our 7 year old son last week. We had two steaks and a children's bbq chicken burger. The food was delicious, chips so crispy but fluffy inside, and steaks cooked perfectly as requested. There is a dog menu too, if you want to include your pup. Water bowls available and a station to buy dog treats from. We love coming here in the summer too as there's a park in the attached woods for kids to play on and a lovely patio seating area with a big green for the kids to have a play on. Would definitely recommend.

Nice half term walk with the kids and pub lunch. Nice pie. Kids meals are a little on the small side, unless ur a toddler! Would go again as a nice afternoon out

Great food great service atmosphere of the pub was nice and calm would definitely recommend it meals came out fast and staff in bar were super nice

Great pub amazing staff and great service and food was outstanding

Went there with a friend and it was amazing nothing was to much trouble the food was delicious and the service was good

First of, I feel that since my initial review this system has been spammed with false 5 star reviews. The pictures don't lie. Marstons really really need to invest some money into this place. Fantastic location and staff but it's in no fit state to be open. No hot water in the toilets, lets hope thats not the case in the staff facilities. Questionable stains on seats, seats filthy and threadbare and ripped with sharp staples exposed some with wobbly legs, tables need re varnishing. dire state of disrepair and needs closing down for a spruce up. Hate to think what the kitchen facilities look like if this is how the front of house is. First visit in many many years whilst passing. Not how I remembered it in my childhood summers living local. shan't be returning any time soon.. really sad that the brewery has allowed it to get to this. On the plus side every member of staff i come across was really freindly including the passionate manager. The food was fantastic and no complaints on that side. I shall also be forwarding this review to marstons themselves to try help get some funding for this place before summer..

Make sure you put your registration in the anpr system because there staff don't make you aware of it and the signs are really poor. I won't be going again

Never been before Not going again The setting is really nice For dog walking ( watch out for the dog shit on the way in) Food was terrible Seemed to be only 2 staff on One was lovely the other had a face like a smacked arse,not rude but clearly not happy With what unsure 5 failed attempts to get a pepper pot with pepper in and Christmas menu still up Shame

Staff super friendly, Quick service despite being busy and very clearly understaffed. Food tasted great and arrived nice and warm. Our dog got lots of special attention and made us feel very welcome, Will definitely be returning!

Have started charging to park without any warning ‼️ Dog walkers beware or you will end up with a £100 fine !! I certainly won’t be returning.

We ordered through the QR code on the table. The service was ok. However, after our starter, they brought the desert, which we had to send back as we're still waiting for mains. When we got the desert, I'm not actually sure that one of them was not what we ordered. Otherwise, lovely location and lovely atmosphere 👌

Best ive ever been to staff are the best chefs were dissapointed with the food and was wrong so they gave money back and gave us 2 free browneys must go the staff are so kind and the food is so good the atmosphere is mainly calm and relaxed also dog freindly with dog treats . you need to go here 11/10

Sorry but definitely not going back again. For starters the staff weren’t engaging, no atmosphere, clientele left a lot to be desired. If I’m out for lunch with friends then to me, swearing is not on the menu, or screaming kids. Our table was in the middle of both. The food was just ok, nothing particularly stood out. Very mediocre. Wish we hadn’t bothered. When I told someone we were going there face said it all, they said it wasn’t somewhere they would go but of course we had booked and it was the same day we were going and thought it wasn’t fair to cancel last minute. So we tried it for ourselves. Should’ve listened and cancelled, I don’t think they would have noticed or cared. No one checked if everything was ok Yes we should have complained there and then but we are voting with our feet and purses.

Great pub food and drinks and kids play area

This place is so welcoming, we came for Sunday lunch and were greeted at the door like old friends. The food was wonderful and there are plenty of water bowls for the dog too. Very comfortable relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Please be aware that there is a new pay and display for the park. I didn't notice and got a hefty fine 😢

A very friendly and comfortable pub with really good food and accessible park. Great for children and dogs.

Lovely food and lovely pleasant staff definitely will be returning 😊

Lovely country pub with great scenery. Dog friendly and they have a nice little menu for the dogs too. The food is lovely for pub food and well priced too. We loved the new menu and the Sunday roasts here are really nice.

Lovely stop off with open grounds. The food was top notch. Great for dog owners, and a nearby playground for kids.
