The Hemlock Stone in Nottingham

Great food and service from Abi today thank you

Went yesterday dinner time and was told at the bar that no food was being served. This is the second time this has happened within a year. There were no signs up about this or any Facebook post, which the latter would have saved travelling. Don't think I bother again unless there's a good offer on the app. Pub desperately needs a upgrade. Follow up- There were no signs up at 12:10pm, otherwise I wouldn't of bothered to walk in and put my reg on the tablet. Someone sitting down, to which could of been the Chef told us you wasn't doing food.

Positive food was fantastic. Negative had to wait 45 minutes from the main course my mum food was wrong and had to sent back.The dirty dishes and coffee cups was never collected it was freezing cold in the pub. We order desserts normally takes about 15 minutes it took 40 mins no apology for the wait if we know the wait was going to be this long we would have not ordered it. Would not go again as waiting the best part of 90 mins for food is quite frankly ridiculous

Use to be lovely place but just recently gone down hill, looking a bit tired inside, lost it cosy atmosphere, food ok, prefer the Cadland in Chilwell

We have been several times, welcome is great but the food not always so.

Nice food, and very friendly atmosphere.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, patiently taking orders for a very large group! Would visit again.

We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere, Liam from the punch bowl was amazing !! Friendly welcoming and attentive.

Steve and Leon was brilliant staff! Leon was covering for Zoe from the punch bowl. He was a fantastic addition to the staff at Hemlock Stone. We thoroughly enjoyed coming here and will be back!

Had a beer roast and I have to say was the best roast I ever had the beef was falling off the bone great portion zoes team are unbelievable james and liam and Judith did good here

Went here for our Christmas Day meal. Firstly not all the starter dishes were taken away before the main meal was served, and one was still left on the table when the deserts came out and we had to prompt the waiter to remove this. The turkey dinners of the main meal were missing the pigs in blankets, as listed on the menu. One of our party had the wellington, which was missing the carrots as advertised on the menu. Along side this, a side order of pigs in blankets had been ordered however we had to prompt the waiter for this, unfortunately they were burnt when delivered. One of my party had ordered a Lemon Roulade, which came out in a glass not dissimilar to a Eaton mess, rather than the being a roulade shape on a plate. And finally the Gingerbread Crème Brûlée that one of my party requested was delivered burnt, and was a normal crème brûlée served with a Biscoff biscuit, missing the gingerbread flavour.

Christmas day meal was lovely we really enjoyed it..it was busy and the staff were under pressure but still gave good service..would definitely say we had a good day.. thanks to all who gave up their day for us ..

We visited on Saturday even8ng without a booking and experienced great service, excellent food and a relaxing environment. Thank you to the whole staff. Especially the chef, for the delicious food.

Food was not cooked properly and was cold and stale and was refused a refund won't eat here again what a first class dive

Absolutely love this pub / restaurant the staff are all very polite and friendly and the service is excellent

Las comidas en sí eran preciosas, casi todos los platos limpios. tardamos 45 minutos en ser servidos, a pesar de que pedimos por adelantado como éramos 14 de nosotros. Y también estaba bastante vacío. Entonces uno de nosotros todavía estaba esperando otros 10 minutos, tuvo que ir y preguntar dónde estaba.

Found service a tad disjointed. Car registration is hard to find. Should be near the door. Guest ale was on the turn?

Great food great service highly recommended.

Pub was too cold. Booked a table on line but no allocated table on arrival. Long wait for food order , without reason. Missing items off meals, no-one came to check if we were okay during meal. Dirty plates left on our table. Asked for dessert early was told abruptly ‘ it’s being processed’ … Half hour wait for said desserts, dirty plates still on table! Pub was not busy. We usually visit The Cadland same company ( unfortunately it was fully booked) , The cadland is how a pub should be run , Hemlock Stone need to visit and learn!

¡Vile es un eufemismo! La comida es insípida, gomosa, seca y el peor almuerzo de domingo que he tenido. Esperaría esto en una zona difícil si hubiera comprado una comida de valor. Sin puré, asados duros como rocas. La salsa extra nunca llegó y mis zanahorias no se cocinaron. ¡Aléjate!

Muy buen asado de domingo. Generoso tamaño de poción. La carne estaba muy tierna, las verduras cocinadas a la perfección y la salsa deliciosa. Servidor era encantador y muy servicial.

Great atmosphere, Reasonable price for the quality of the food especially the steak! Would definitely recommend coming here :)

Great selection of beers and a nice food menu

Excellent food very helpful staff

Came in for the Rib of beef with Mac and Cheese and a Rump. Both cooked perfectly. Staff were wonderful.

Excellent service and very good menu and food. Will be back.

Best halloumi fries and cocktails!

Friendly staff & atmosphere, well priced food, excellent service. Plenty of parking spaces.

Good food, great prices. Wide selection of drinks, friendly atmosphere, usually quiet - quiz is fun on a Thursday night!

Absolutely amazing food everything was cooked to perfection the open steak sandwich was amazing if there was anything to add probably just a bit of garlic butter would finish it off staff was so helpful even when we forgot to say no mushy peas it wasn't a problem was sorted straight away nothing was to much

We are locals that haven’t been in for a while. So were pleasantly surprised at the improvements. New staff and food was lovely particularly the samosa's

Archie was very welcoming behind the bar, seen to our every needs with a smile. Very clean. The food was lovely, Josh brought our food out and did a check back to make sure we was all okay, Danny was also lovely behind the bar, definitely recommend to a friend, 5* service

Called with three friends today, love this pub and its friendly staff Food well presented and hot, always a bonus Preferred a lighter batter on the Posh fish and chips though I’m sure this will be rectified

Good food and drink friendly and helpfull staff and a nice and cosy atmosphere seen too by danny archie and josh who were very helpfull definitly recomend

Food was amazing, I had the fish and chips, chips was perfect, fish was perfect, staff was very friendly and polite, food served quickly

Pleasant & friendly staff. Our visit was on a Monday evening, so really quite quiet. Food was good, but hunters chicken came a little dry. Sticky toffee pudding was lovely.

Primera visita con dos amigos para el almuerzo del domingo, wow encantador almuerzo del domingo y un montón de ella, personal amable muy servicial también.

Archie, Casey and Danny were so helpful! Service as amazing, food was plentiful and good quality.

Everything you expect from a traditional pub. Staff are nice and they do have doggie treats for your furry family member. Food took bit long to serve but the wait was worth it! Keep up the good work, thank you very much :-)

Bit of a wait as busy , all in very good, definitely would come back again !

Danny, Kacey and Archie were fantastic! Great sunday lunch!

Lovely Food, great service and very reasonable prices. Recommended if you want really good food with family and friends.

Great food & service food came to the table quickly & piping hot, the mash potato was seasoned perfectly. Thanks guys we will be back soon

Had the chicken, bacon, avocado salad last night. Swimming in water, which was the dressing. Normally so good, but really bad this time.

all staff members are kind and respectful

Great family pub/restaurant, since taken over the past year or so.. the staff and place is amazing! Food is great! Staff are friendly and very welcoming, dog friendly, great for children.. the beer garden is lovely in the summer too, never had an issue since the 2 new managers have taken over, great environment to be in :)

It is in good location with plenty of parking spaces and good standard of service

If like me you have not been in for decades..pop in! Very good all round and an excellent team.. it won't be decades before another visit.

Popped into our local tonight, The Hemlock Stone, for a quick bite to eat and drink. The staff were friendly and professional, the pub itself was warm and convivial. We ordered the Lasagne and Hunters schnitzel, which I must say was delicious, definitely a favourite. Just thought it was a pleasant evening and thought the staff deserved recognition, so well done 👏

40% off is fab if you can arrive at a time when the kitchen is open

the food was great and the staff we’re so nice and accommodating that what me and my friends asked for

Nice food brilliant staff, atmosphere was great had an amazing time.

Excellent atmosphere and the staff are amazing, food was perfect, all in all a great evening to wind down from work

Went with our granddaughter for lunch a lovely pub good food and a very nice girl called casey with excellent customer service skills friendly and welcoming and a smile behind the bar.

Chain pub, chain food, nothing exciting but nothing to complain about.

Finally dined as last 2 times we went food was not being served for varying reasons. Recent visit was poor had the beef rib as wanted some veggies I stead of chips. The veg was bad, the roast veg ( think was squash and carrot) were bouncy and the cabbage was rancid. Would have sent it back but was late and I was hungry. Hope this gets addressed as I thought this place had turned a corner.

Went on a busy Thursday, food was still quick and delicious, the bar was packed and still was greeted lovely by a girl with red hair would go again

Very disappointed today with the food veg was hard and burnt .the waitress wasn't very jolly she spilt gravy other table I had to ask her 3 times to wipe it up .spent £75 ON Meals then separate amount on drinks .

Was a little dubious when we walked in and heard a member of staff say ‘ we didn’t have any complaints yesterday’ as if it were surprising. Hardly anyone in the pub but still waited around 35/40 min for food. The mixed grill was pretty much burnt other than the steak, the sausages looked as though they had a trip through bramcote crematorium before my plate. I can honestly say the food at Wetherspoons was better than here so disappointed after recommendations to go here. Money wasted. Genuinely gutted.

Popped in for a bite to eat Service was great ,food delicious and very reasonable priced will definitely be going back

Had the Sunday Duo. Stuffing was cold. The vegetables were cold, obviously out of the freezer and were practically raw - steamed? I doubt it. The roast potatoes were also out of the freezer and were probably deep fried - definitely not roasted. The giveaway? All identical size and shape. The "gammon"? More like 2 dried out rashers of bacon. At least the chicken was OK.

We spontaneously decided to go today after quite long time from last visit and all of us absolutely loves. Quality of food was absolutely outstanding and soo much better then last time so around 6 months ago. Everything was fresh and really tasty. Service was excellent, waiting time wasn’t too bad. We definitely come back soon for more delicious food. Place is kids friendly so our son was able to pick favourite meals from special little ones menu section. If you’re around you definitely have to came in and give a try !

Worst place in Nottingham, worst service I have ever experienced, the food and drinks were not good. Will not be returning and I strongly advise anyone against going there. In addition I popped in for a drink and got fined for using their parking for 15 mins, outright outrageous.

A group of 5 went for dinner and to enjoy the quiz.Fab night, staff friendly and attentive. Great fun night !!!

The food was lovely, they made a mistake on one of our orders but immediately replaced the meal with anything from the menu. The atmosphere was lovely, just families eating so no loudness from the bar

Amazing spot to go with family and friends, food was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful! Will definitely be back again.

Amazing food amazing price thankyou hemlock staff

very good experience staff were amazing food was even better quick service amazing selection of beers/ spirits, liqueurs

Great afternoon great food great staff can't wait to come back guys well done. Fairly priced and great choices on the menu

More staff than customers As usual run like a youth club and that’s the staff Had a bite to eat CRAP food CRAP PUB How do pubs like this survive

Gluten free beer. Nice outdoor space.

What a wonderful venue. We had my a lovely time. Food was great and staff attentive. Big shout out to Billy.

I LOVE this place. Home from home.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff and service.

Food came out burnt, staff not bothered to ask if food was ok

We went there because we had an offer to get 40% off mains, but we'll be going back again because the food was lovely and the service was good.

16 of my family went for a retirement party. The food was amazing!! Atmosphere was next level and the service was second to none. All the staff went above and beyond for us all. Highly recommend the hemlock stone, I will be definitely returning soon. Many thanks

I was served by Cassey and just wanted to say what a very pleasant accommodating person she is..the food and service wee also very good..will be coming back

Most enjoyable, Pleasant surroundings and excellent service!

Food was lovley, i really enjoyied the beef it was verey tender. Danny helped us with everything we needed. A great asset to the team.

I come here most weeks for food with my daughter. Danny is always friendly and welcoming and the food and value is good. Special mention to chef Billy!

Brought my mum for her 79th birthday and my Aunt. We had a lovely lunch, served by Cyrus who was friendly and very helpful. They both had sea bass, I had lasagne. We all cleared our plates! Food was perfect. I'm told the chefs were Zoe and Mike. Would have given 5 stars but the toilets weren't as clean as they should have been.

Great food as always. We had the Sausage and Mash, Scampi and a Braised Beef and couldn't fault any of it. Eton Mess and Crumble were equally as good. Great service with friendly staff. Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic place, the staff are lovely and very friendly. The place is dog friendly as well, the food is okay it's like I always say it depends on what you like but I've never had a bad meal there and I've been going for a few years now.

The Hemlock Stone Pub certainly offers a setting that promises an enjoyable dining experience, but unfortunately, my recent visit fell short of expectations due to issues with food service and quality. The wait time for our meal was excessively long, over an hour, even though the pub was not particularly busy. When our food finally arrived, it was incorrect and underwhelming. We had ordered a traditional roast dinner but received a dish laden with casserole vegetables accompanied by anaemic chicken legs. The quality of the chicken did not meet the usual standards expected of a comforting roast. The children's meal was also disappointing. The fish fingers were overcooked to the point of being hazardous, posing a risk to dental safety. Such a basic dish should be foolproof in any kitchen, and this was a surprising letdown. Due to the combined issues of the long wait and poor food quality, we asked for a full refund, which the pub processed without issue. We left the meals largely untouched and opted for a more reliable meal option elsewhere. In conclusion, while the Hemlock Stone Pub might have the potential to be a great local spot, my experience was significantly dampened by the service and food quality. Improvements in these areas could potentially make it a much more enjoyable place to dine.

The staff were amazing, leigham and Zoe does an amazing job at pleasing guests and maintaining the high level of service

Since doing my first review I have chosen to write more as I do indeed think this place is fantastic, the food is truly delicious, staff are so helpful and polite, nothing is too much trouble at all. I now have business meetings here too and the people I bring really enjoy everything about the place. Well done to Zoe and her team for being very accommodating and professional. Will be back again soon

Great place great food Alex is best chef around

My first visit here. It was empty in the restaurant - the bar area had a couple of visitors at best. Disappointing. My meal (lasagne) was overcooked to the extent that it was burnt around the sides. There was hardly any meat in the sauce - just sauce and burnt sauce around the edges. Salad very poor indeed - a little bit of sad looking lettuce and not much else. The garlic bread was very overdone too and barely edible. Could have returned the meal but it would have meant my meal was out of cinque with the rest of my party. Sister in law’s macaroni cheese was equally overcooked. The portions were very small and rather mean except for fish and chips or gammon neither of which I wanted. They cannot blame being busy on the poor state of the food so I can only conclude it was a distinct lack of care. I wish I could find something positive to say about the meal - oh yes the pudding was nice, but it didn't need cooking just serving up! The pub itself had seen better days - it looked rundown and distinctly unloved, especially from the outside. Ember Inns are usually good with great food, we enjoyed a fabulous meal in another Ember Inn across the city last February but The Hemlock Stone falls short by quite a way. Such a shame.

Tragic family visit for a Sunday roast. Got told that kitchen opens in 30 minutes. 15 minutes later that it opens in 45 from now. Then was told that they don't know when the chefs will be back from break, so whenever they come back they're back.

The service was good and the food was mainly good.

Very friendly staff especially the lady that brought out the food always had a smile on her face and was very helpful. Food was amazing compliments to the chef all cooked very well

Great pub fantastic food staff are friendly and all welcoming

Best chicken wings ever. Nice friendly bar staff. Great food.

Excellent staff, friendly and helpful. Good food, excellent parking facilities. Clean toilets. Reasonable prices

Four of us really enjoyed our meal, all different choices and staff were very friendly and customer focused. A great night..

Online ordering is slow and easy to miss something with large groups, struggled to chew the cabbage! Ordered the cake and coffee and got no coffee, more gravy please, service was excellent, food all on time, all food cooked well and very good

What a cracking pub! I've driven past this place for many years and always thought about visiting. Having now done so, I wish I'd done it sooner! Great food, well presented, tasted great, and plentiful portions. Price and service were equally were also excellent.

The food is excellent. The Mix grill is fantastic.

it was a great night with friends and the waitress marzena was so lovely and accommodating, will definitely recommend to friends
