The Festival Inn in Broxtowe

Sunday lunch was excellent.Anther great visit,great food, happy friendly staff all for a great price. Breakfast with data wow the kids loved it 😊

Great place to eat out, food is always good, prices are great and the staff are also very friendly

I had booked the festive menu for our U14's Rugby mums for a nice meal out. From start of booking the night I rang up and the staff was very helpful in making sure things go as planned. We was all very happy with the service and would recommend to come here again 😀 . 🤶🎅🎉🎊 The table was layed out lovely and festive with some crackers too.

Staff were rude and had attitude and didn’t want to serve food saying they were short staffed but hardly anyone in saying it was a long wait,just because your busy doesn’t mean you have to be rude to the customers & the food wasn’t worth the wait it was awful

Saturday 7th December: Got served a flat coke, took it back and one of the staff sipped my drink and then went to check the syrup and gas and said it was okay, I was not sure so asked for another drink and the staff member had told me that “everything is fine.” and that “i’d drink it, it doesn’t bother me”. So rude!!! The salad I was served taste and looked like it had been sat in the bottom of the fridge for weeks to.

Came with my husband for our anniversary. The staff were very surly and not very welcoming ,we ordered mixed grill and 8oz rump ,my steak was very chewy and the peas like bullets. My husband's grill was nice apart from the steak his was chewy too ,we put the steak into napkins and took it home for the dog I ordered apple pie & custard, the pie was hot but the custard only just warm ,I had a cup of tea because I was told the6didnt do post although it was on the menu ,the cup smelt of washing up liquid so I didn't drink it .It a disappointing night for a special occasion

Really friendly welcoming staff. Cosy, comfortable atmosphere

Amazing food, really positive staff and very helpful. Place was clean though a little hectic as we was sat by the toy machine. I didn’t enjoy my stake as there wasn’t enough sauce on it and was very tough and hard to eat. Overall the place is our go to for family days just be aware of the times you go it can become a bit packed as it’s a good place.

I'm a regular visitor because of the food and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely food some nice staff good food

The first time myself and my wife have visited this local pub. The food was excellent, the portions very good, the price was good, and the service good. We will be going back again. And already recommended it to family members. Thanks from Geoff and Gill.

Went to see The Riders. Great bands on the rock n roll nights

Big older pub, decent menu and during the week really good value.

Always lovely food at the Festival inn, piping hot and quick service

Standard green king offering. Very popular. Could use some heaters outside for tables there🤷🏾‍♀️

Really nice, clean & very friendly place to pop in for a meal & a drink 🍸 menu is really nice loads to choose from & is cooked well & priced well. Not the cleanest place feels a bit greasy & tables & bar is a little sticky at time, but still a nice place to go

I love this pub, however I came here today @1pm and being a crohn's sufferer I needed to use the gents. The toilet was nice and clean and someone had even put toilet cleaner around the bowl.... But no toilet paper. 😡

Very pleasant evening nice meal and exceptional service

Great portion sizes...my mammar absolutely loves visiting!

Lunchtime ain't so busy..so it's not so atmospheric and buzzy. Had a pint and the vegan burger n fries. Fries really nice but the bun was over cooked on the burger and mostly inedible. I'm not a complainer and just wanted a quiet lunch to myself. So I didn't say anything. Last time it was spot on. The staff are always lovely.

Good beer decent food friendly staff A1

Lovely dog friendly pub. We had our dinner there today, lovely food, steak and ale pie was lush.

Local and very good for 1/2 a century

Lovely meal enjoyed it very much

Nice food as always. Try there boneless wings, you won’t be disappointed 👏

Very good food great service and should add cheesy flatbread to the menu

Great food this lunchtime varied menu plenty of offers, quick service . Spotless pub friendly staff and management . Would recommend.

Wouldn’t visit again No atmosphere Abbott ale tasted strange One table had 2 meals go back because food was cold when only a few people were eating Ordered drinks through app and paid but got nothing so had to go up to the bar This pub is souless!

Food could of been better but for a reasonable pub lunch you could do worse

Great ales Delicious food Kids Playground Social Games Darts,Quizzes

We had our Wedding reception here in Harry’s Bar. Everything ran so smooth and Debbie was so nice and helpful from start to finish. Food was absolutely lovely and the bar staff was amazing too. We would definitely recommend this place and we wil be back. Thanks to everyone who took part we will really appreciate it.

I visited the Festival Inn with our family and freinds on Sunday 4th August for dinner.. I can highly recommend the Festival Inn for anyone wanting visiting with freinds and family the staff were very freindly and the food is very reasonably priced .

I visited the Festival Inn with our family and freinds on Sunday 4th August for dinner we were informed on ordering that there was a bit of a wait which was perfectly fine, the food came out sooner than we expected and it was cooked to perfection. I can highly recommend the Festival Inn for anyone wanting visiting with freinds and family the staff were very freindly and the food is very reasonably priced .

Hyatt sterling sirloin steak and it was gorgeous

Ridiculous wait times for food. Rude members of staff. Avoid.

Very nice pub nipped in on way back from matlock

If I could write a review and give this place 0 stars then I would. Our visit to festival inn was horrific. As soon as we stepped into the pub we were given disgusting looks from the bar staff. We asked if we could move a table across as there was a group of us to which we we’re not allowed which is fair enough so we sat on two separate tables. We all ordered via the app and had to wait around 1hr and 20mins for one food order to come out and then a following 20 mins for the next, bearing in mind we all order similar things. After this our mains came out before our starters, to which I asked where is the starter he was rude and said what did you order as there is no ticket left. I explained how ridiculous the whole thing was and how long we had to wait for our starters not to be brought out. One of the couples we were with cancelled there order all together as they were waiting 1hr. No apology from any staff and even the manager. My partner was very frustrated at this point and went up to ask for a refund for the starters to which the manager, said I cannot give you a refund. I then approached the manager and expressed my dissatisfaction from the moment we walked in to that pub to which he consisted to argue with me. He said “well you have all ordered separately, the app isn’t the best”. There was no apology!! This made me extremely angry and i pushed for a refund for the starter to which he later agreed too. Yet before this he said “we are unable to issue refunds” which was false as he refunded the couple with us. We have got a refund but by the previous reviews it may not even hit our bank accounts! So only time will tell. If there is any advise from this, do not waste your time and money on this place 😡

Lovely place great food and great staff xxx

Went for s northern soul event and have got to say the 2 girls behind the bar was so rude and obviously didn't want to e there. Trying to take people's fresh drinks and all sorts this is not what I expect when we paid to get in

Get your sen in for a good laugh

Pretty good place to go get food.

Rump steak was very tough and full of gristle. Will not be going again.

Great pub. Really good value and quality food,with plenty ty of choice. Very friendly staff/team. Just what good value pub should be.

Very pleasant atmosphere, staff where pleasant food was very good for the value of money

Good selection of beers food great value

Been here again and as usuall Fab service and a lovely smile 😊😘

Watched the England game last night in the bar great atmosphere and a free snack at half time always a good pint of beer recommend to all

Went for football great atmosphere free food at half time qill definatley be returning.

Had a fantastic experience at the festival Inn Staff are exemplary .such a great time at McMillan Ascot racing day .Food superb .Staff extremely attentive.A great time after in the bar thanks to Sherri looking after us . definitely do it all over again .🍻🥂😊 called in again after work watched the football great night

Probably one of the most welcoming and inclusive local pubs in the area, accommodating both adults, children and dogs. The menu is quite extensive and the food of a good quality, there are some really lovely dishes on the menu and all of a good value. The pub is often busy both lunchtimes and evenings which is a clear indication of a job well done. The bar is over 18s only, which is totally appropriate and sports are shown on the screens. There are 2 function rooms available for hire and there are regular music nights held there. Well done to the Festival team.

Went for lumch yesterday and stayed to watch football. Really enjoyed oir meal followed by a vreat atmosphere for the football would highly recomend.

Amazing food, great hospitality. Literally my favourite local and will definitely be returning..................

Always a brilliant service, excellent food and great staff every time we visit, never had an issue

Been up to festive lots of time's for a meal and drinks but was very disappointed ,we were a group of 4, and had meals for 2 £13.50 ,in the past these have been brilliant but sorry to say Monday 24/6/24 at the dinner time was very poor had to wait a long time and then when got the meals a very poor standard not much on the plate for the cost ,but we didn't expect a lot but come on Festival don't drop your standards please ,love the place

Turned up and ordered food straight away, then asked for how long of a wait it was going to be and got a reply of I don’t know, I’ve sat and waited a whole hour for my food to turn up, which it hasn’t. Then when the food turned up it was cold and stale. I shall not be returning!!!

2nd bad experience here. Used to come here all the time but the last two times we have visited both the food and service have been really poor. 1st time Sunday dinner. Ordered the rib of beef, which is supposed to come with everything like the other dishes, didn't come with any roast potatoes or stuffing. Im disabled so I didn't go to the bar, and no one ever came over despite it being practically empty. I ate my dinner and when the MANAGER came over to take the plates away I told him and all he said was " well do you want them now". Of course I didn't, but an apology would have been nice. 2nd time last night fish was burnt and my flat bread was missing the (pico de gallo) salsa main ingredient. Again, nobody bothered to ask about the meal, took over an hour for anyone to clear any plates after we had finished, even though it wasn't busy and only then as I'd ordered some deserts and had to ask for the dirty plates to be taken away.

Every time we have visited here it has never disappointed. Food hot and super tasty, staff funny and courteous. Wunderbar!

Fantastic family friendly lively pub. Great food.loads of choice. Staff really friendly and go the extra mile to help. Would definitely recommend this pub to everyone

Great place, great food and joe is always a pleasure to talk too

Beautiful steak and chips great atmosphere 😁 Joe was excellent

Amazing food, really helpful and friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Great night in the function room for the soul night had a great meal in the lounge first the ribs are fantastic. Great work

The staff are rude, especially the female with black and white hair who would rather tell paying customers that they do have other things to do, so a 30 minute period with nobody behind the bars seem to be acceptable, if customers can't spend money then they will go elsewhere. You won't need to worry about the other more important things you need to do, I won't be returning

Standard pub food, bit expensive. Good place to watch a game and have a drink

Friendly staff, food nicely cooked and good value. Looks like a well run pub

Been going here for years and last night I was very disappointed!!! The food was NOT up to normal standards. New menu. Had a cheesy one burger??? Came with 2 tiny slices of normal burger cheese on it and 1 tiny bit of burnt end bit which was more like a lump of fat. And about 10 chips ... Nothing like the picture. Defo not cheesy enough to be called THE CHEESY ONE. We also had 2 portions of boneless chicken wings. Came with hardly no source on them so had to ask for some more. When that was bought it was dropped all over the table and we had to clean it up but more was bought out. At this point I told them about the burger to what that said... SORRY ABOUT THAT. They bought me out some more so called burned ends which again was a pot of fat in BBQ source. NOT NICE. Mentioned it to the staff at the end too expecting they to at least get a manager but again it was SORRY ABOUT THAT... WE SPENT OVER £160 LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS DISGUSTING. Staff don't seem to want to do much either, even at the bar the look on the face seemed like it was an effort when we asked for . Don't know what's happend but we was definitely disappointed and don't think we will return again unless something is done .

Yet again another great meal.food was fresh and hot.staff very friendly and chatty.Thats why we always try to come back here as often as possible. Keep up the good work

A while since we visited the Festival Inn,but it was still a great place to visit.Really good and friendly staff. Well cooked and presented food at great priced deals.Whats not to like.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Always eat here great prices,great atmosphere,

First off the staff didn't seem welcoming, ordered food and it came cold after a very long wait, when we asked for warm food they heated everything making the salad soggy, burger bun hard like it had been microwaved. We asked for a refund and no one seemed apologetic or friendly about this to be given a cash refund

Food is very good value, family friendly venue. Great value for money, great menu selection and good kids menu too! I had the spicy chicken wings and chips - definitely recommend

Lovely food with a chilled atmosphere. Friendly and polite staff. Very reasonable prices. Just looked at the new menu can't wait go try it.😃

Nice pub, flaming grill menu, everyone knows where they stand 👌

Can't believe how good the chicken plate was and the large desert was Edit:It's too good

Friendly staff and public. Ok meal but a nice pub with nice clientele.

Ok place with good parking and very "cost of living" friendly prices.

Called for lunch yesterday, lovely hot food all cooked to perfection, clean & comfortable will definitely be back thank-you

Enjoyed the food. Great service. Food as ordered. Friendly staff. Highly recommended and we will be going back again.

Quiet Sunday night, food was typical pub food, staff were friendly, service was good. Good value for money

Great place, for a mid range experience.

Food was very lovely staff was very polite and veey helpfull and was a very good atmosphere

The food too long to arrive but otherwise the taste was delicious. Loved the peri peri chicken with flat bread.

Great pub, excellent food, fish and chips perfect 😀

Food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Waited over 1 hour for food even when booking table not put any stars on food as not got yet

Very friendly staff. Great pub grub. There were very few people at the pub as it was early lunchtime. Couldn't fairly measure the atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Festival Inn Trowel

Booked a table online. On arrival, taken to the table. Which was clean and ready for us. Ordered the food which was delivered to the table in a good time, exactly as ordered and nice and hot. Plenty on the plates, and we all left nice and full. Brilliant staff from the bar to the floor staff. A great eating experience and we will most definitely be going back again.

The Festival never fails in their food, drink & service. The food is excellent! Whether I go with family or friends their standards are always high. I cannot recommend it enough. Did mention the food!

Good food that came quickly after ordering. Spencer was fantastic

Popped in for tea with my son and was very disappointed. Service and staff were lovely but the place was near empty and I can see why. The food was appalling ! I has a sizzler. The onions on the sizzler had been microwaved or re-used before putting in the skillet and were inedible and just mush. The chicken breast (1/2 a chicken breast) was microwaved, as was the bacon on top - along with the bbq sauce topping and virtually tasteless. The mash was gloopy and luke warm and the peas were also virtually tasteless and dry. I appreciate its just pub grub but the whole meal had just been thrown together and nothing was edible. This place used to be great value tasty pub plates but I can honestly say they should not serve food here if this is the standard now. I won’t be retuning as clearly just reheated rubbish and nothing is “cooked”.

Had the best meal with family and the service from Sherrie was amazing! She was polite and very friendly and definitely made us feel very welcome! Thanks for a great meal xx

Called in on the home, a last minute but good call. Excellent value and service. Even though it was very busy the food came out in a timely manner. Hot and freshly cooked.

Great place to meet friends, good quiz night atmosphere is fantastic. Enjoy all the functions in the event rooms especially Rock and Roll and Soul nights. Food is very good and reasonable priced any request is dealt with promptly. Staff are all very friendly, most are able to help in any situation if not there is always someone who can .The bar shows all the sport events and has a very lively vibe , they put on lots of activities to coincide.

Great place. Friendly staff. Good service and atmosphere.

Sherries a member of the bar staff was brilliant told which was the best food to have with my food Allergy.

Always enjoy going to the festival inn , friendly staff, lovely hosts Matt & Debbie. 20 of us went for my daughter’s birthday, Joe made sure all meals came out at the same time( brill) . Food always good.

Came for a family meal, the whole family including the children, had a great meal. Great staff, special mention to Joe. Thanks for a great night.

Came with the family for the bogof burgers. Lovely atmosphere. lovely pub. staff were amazing. Joe and sherrie looked after me and the missus.

We come here all the time. The food is always nice and the staff are really friendly. Both sides of the pub are great. The pool table is well looked after

Came to pool night great atmosphere
