The Hemlock Stone in Nottingham

Thr vegan options are great here. I had the rainbow lasagne with a beautifully fresh side salad. Thr atmosphere is friendly and the staff are very welcoming.

Nice place. Food tasty. Friendly and quick service

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely evening out

Great service, have been here lots of times

Awesome food and amazing services

Lovely food and staff. Prompt service. I will be back

First time visiting food and service was amazing, will definitely visit again soon with the rest of our family

We had the set lunch menu. And can’t believe how amazing the food was. Also the kids food was amazing. The staff are so nice and friendly would highly recommend

Came for Sunday lunch today, hadn’t booked in advance but staff accommodated me very well. Beautifully cooked food and didn’t wait long at all before it was served. Liam, the new manager, has improved the place significantly. The staff are so professional but warm and friendly, Lara and Casey were lovely and had a laugh with me. I had the three meat dinner, portions were huge and I was stuffed when leaving. Will definitely be returning, thank you all of the team

Great pub, very short staffed this time, but usually good

Archie was fantastic thank you!!! Birthday made special :)

Always a great meal, good value.

Fast service and good sized portions.

Excellent service and lovely staff, love the place

Lovely staff and great food and drinks ! Definitely recommend

So reasonably priced with such lovely service. Great lunch

Very good experience as a family, the staff were lovely and the food was on point. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

We booked the Hemlock Stone for a private family gathering. We were allocated a large room with plenty of seating. We had ordered a buffet for the event which was huge. It catered for all tastes and had great food options. The whole experience at the Hemlock Stone was positive, from the initial meeting and buffet selection with the managers, through to the experience on the day. The food portions were generous and really tasty. The service was excellent both in regards to the buffet service and the bar service. I can't praise it enough and would like to thank all involved for looking after us. Would definitely recommend.

The place was empty!… but it still took three quarters of an hour to get our food. We have been there many a time in the past but today was the worst experience we have ever had. The beef lasagne has shrunk so much it wouldn’t feed a child and now it’s served with flatbread and not ciabatta really sums up that dish! My wife had the mixed grill…well the chef doesn’t know how to cook steak that’s a fact as no way was it medium!…well the bit that was edible wasn’t anyway! The rest you could have bounced down the street for a dog as that’s all it was any use for! The chicken breast was so overdone it was like eating the charcoal and not the chicken itself and as for the gammon…let’s not go there. The best thing was the fried egg and chips but if that’s all she wanted we could have stayed at home and not feel ripped off! Won’t be going back again. NOT HAPPY!

Nice pub, great food, very helpful & friendly staff

The food was OK. I felt my gammon was a little bland. It was OK but not great. The staff was accommodating, polite, and helpful. I do not think they could manage our small group of over excited reunion, in the afternoon, but perhaps a later evening meeting would have been more acceptable.

Amazing experience in Hemlock today, went to study and finish my essay. Gorgeous food made by Anton, I had the grilled seabass, prawns and baby potatoes. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, Lara and Casey made sure to check on me and made sure I stayed hydrated and comfortable. Thank you very much girls

Staff are great.. warm and friendly atmosphere. Charlotte and Liam are particularly good

Had a lovely meal here with my partner Leigham was especially considerate with us and would like to thank him again for his hospitality.

Tom was amazing. He will be a manager one day!

Atendido por Tom, servicio increíble! Algún día será manager. ¡La cerveza estuvo genial! Quedarse sin cosas que decir pero hay un recuento de palabras estúpido jaja

Brilliant staff, good quality ale and the fish and chips were lovely

We had the Maple Pork Belly. It was delicious and tender with the crackling. The new nachos were a welcomed improvement. The staff were very helpful, recommended some lovely dishes too.

Great food and friendly service

Wouldn’t bother. Tried twice for food, first time no chef, 2 weeks later no food til after 5! And staff not interested. Why they cant put that on website or a sign is beyond me. Wont be a third visit.

Muy tranquilo para un viernes a la hora del almuerzo. La cerveza estuvo buena. Comí ensalada de pollo, tocino y aguacate. Lo que había sabía bien. El problema es que el aguacate había desaparecido. El personal no dijo nada al servir y era bastante escaso y no estaba disponible para quejarse.

Would recommend, very friendly polite staff .

Very friendly staff - did a great service for our funeral wake

Food was ok service, quality and atmosphere were not good.

Absolutely awful experience never going back again the food took an hour to arrive despite the fact the pub wasn't busy. The food wasn't hot and not particularly tasty, no one came to ask if we were enjoying our meal. We had to go find someone to clear the plates for our second course didn't seem remotely bothered when we said we didn't enjoy the meal. The desserts were just as bad. Left feeling sick and very disappointed. Best to avoid folks food awful, staff polite enough but either non existent or busy on there mobile phone very unprofessional set up not what I would expect from an Embers Inn.

I left a bad review last month, but decided to give the Hemlock Stone another try today. It felt more welcoming to see the gas fire was on at our arrival, and the radiator was hotter than many times before visits. The food was okay. As mentioned before, the place is desperately in need of a refurbishment. The leather chair that I sat on today had gone. No staff issues to mention.

I regularly use my local Embers Inn near to my house because the food is always good, the prices are good and the atmosphere is nice. We’ve used this one 4/5 times now as we visit the area once a month. Sadly, the Hemlock Stone has let us down every time. The food always seems to take forever and isn’t great when it comes out. We came over at Christmas one evening when it was quiet and ordered their widely advertised big Christmas burger. Sadly, it turned up without any Christmas items and was a very sad looking plain burger. Complaining to staff, they provided us with some of the replacement items that were missing but the bowl of pigs in blankets were cremated. We complained and got a voucher which we used last night. 2x fixed price (Our old favourite at our local). The starters were good but you cant really destroy a chicken wing or mushroom. The chicken burgers came out after a longer wait and were black on both sides but also cold! We complained and the staff were very polite and got us replacements and apologised. The chips always seem to be fried instead of the chips used elsewhere too. I wanted to give this place a chance to prove itself but after our visits, we’ve not had one positive one. The two younger girls behind the bar were very friendly yesterday though and made it better! The atmosphere here is also odd. It’s full of families meeting up but there always seems to be a small group of people who walk in, swaggering around and then sit hidden away in corners whilst shouting through the bar to each other. They often appear either to be using substances or are already drunk when they walk in but it seems to be more than a one off now and odd for such a nice residential area. The group yesterday were openly shouting and swearing near to children and not challenged by any staff at any point. Sadly, this makes it feel slightly uneasy compared to my local. Hopefully things improve, but it needs a kitchen staff overhaul and people challenged suitably to keep the place pleasant for all the families who seem to frequent it.

Remember, when you park in the car part to enter your reg in the machine at the bar. I missed this and accrued a fine of £100 - but the holding and duty managers were very supportive, and cancelled the notice with the Euro Car Parks a couple of weeks later. Overall, everyone in the Hemlock Stone was very helpful and considerate. Thank you.

The Hemlock Stone in Nottingham is fantastic for the food and Mac and Cheese with BBQ 🍖 Beef 🥩

Venue is pleasant enough but the rest was very disappointing. I ordered the turkey Sunday dinner that was supposed to come with bacon wrapped stuffing. When the plate came out it had three small thin pieces of sliced turkey, and the plate was mainly filled with a Yorkshire pudding and the grave boat. There was no stuffing ball so i went to query this and the waiter had to look at the menu to confirm this. When it came out it was one small ball of stuffing, wish I'd not bothered. No body came to our table to see if everything was ok and the staff seemed non existent all "hiding" in the kitchen. Atmosphere wise it was very quiet for a Sunday afternoon but was also very cold. i realized after a while that the draft we were feeling was coming from an air conditioning vent in the ceiling blowing out cold air. We have eaten at other Ember Inns and enjoyed it but this was the worst we have ever been to, so won't be going there again.

Twice now we've ordered online they have messed up our order. Never again. Bye.

The service was appalling. We were a large party of 24 that had booked in advance for a family gathering and handed in food orders a week in advance. Despite this, the area was not set up with enough seats/tables to accommodate us when we arrived. It took over an hour for the first meal to come out and a further 30mins for the last meal. Some of the meals that came out were cold and had to be sent back, the gravy jugs had to be sent back as the gravy was cold. There was no milk so the coffee machine wasn’t working and a member of our group had to go to the shop across the road and buy a pint of milk to have with their cup of tea. We had to set the table ourselves and the plates from our meals were not cleared away. The restaurant was also freezing cold and there were flickering lights above us which we were told nothing could be done about. After complaining we were all given the opportunity to a free dessert - which took a further 30-45mins to arrive! It was a real shame we had such an awful experience as the food might have been good, if it had been served fresh and hot and within an acceptable time.

Lovely cosy spot!! Would recommend to everyone!! Staff were very lovely and friendly and the food was amazing, we all said we’d come again!

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

Great food and service from Abi today thank you

Amazing service from Abi today- food was top notch too, had the beef ribs and will definitely have them again! Will be back soon

Bonito pub amable. Buen servicio, personal amable. No probé la comida, pero vi que salían algunos y se veían bien. Había una fiesta privada de 75 años en un área de funciones separada. El buffet se veía bien y las familias parecían estar teniendo un gran tiempo.

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

Nice food, and very friendly atmosphere.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 :-)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 .
