The Lambley in Gedling

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here out on the terrace in the sunshine. One of us had the chicken roast, two of us had the pork belly, and another weirdo vegetarian had a halloumi burger. Alll of the food was exquisite and the staff were nice and friendly.

Have gone here several times for lunch love set up and food has always been delicious

We had my husband’s 60th here at the weekend and we had a great time. The food was delicious, the staff were so accommodating and very friendly. Would highly recommend this perfect setting for a family get together

Fabulous evening celebrating a 60th birthday. The function room was perfect...the team were very welcoming and made sure we were well looked after. The hot food was perfect for the occasion and very tasty. All in all a perfect venue to celebrate many different occasions. Highly recommend The Lambley.

Incredible staff and incredibly nice food 10/10

I visited The Lambley last night for a family birthday party. What a pleasure to be in such a beautiful and welcoming pub. The staff were very attentive, warm and hospitable. There was plenty of space for adults and children with excellent outside and inside space, and a large parking area. The food was delicious and well served. It made a wonderful night and an enjoyable experience for all of the large group of family aging from 18 months to 86!!! Thank you to all of the staff and we will be coming back.

Fantastic party night out in the function room/ pub , the food was out this world, service was impeccable, highly recommend,

Went to the Lambley for a family birthday party Food was lovely and fresh and very tasty Staff were very friendly and polite credit to the pub Highly recommended for a function Also there was a wonderful singer in the bar Drinks good value and also my daughter had a hot chocolate which said was delicious

Food was lovely. Staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble for them. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

From the moment, my friend and I walked through the door today until the moment we left. The service was excellent, and the food was cooked to perfection. My friend loved her fish and chips she said they were the best she had had in ages, and my chicken melted in your mouth just delicious. Well done, The Lambley, See you soon

Was here with the family for a Wake following a funeral just up the road at Gedling crematorium. Lots of parking, lovely outside seating and tables. Food was very nice. Service was very good

We visited in April and sat outside on a relatively warm day. We had appetizers and really enjoyed them. The Camembert with bread was incredible - highly recommended. Truffle fries also good! G&T reasonably priced around £7 for a single.

I hired The Lambley Function Room to celebrate my 70th birthday party in March 2025. From the first meeting with the Manager, Ollie, I was impressed and it stayed that way. First class service, first class buffet, and many of my guests commented on how good the food was. Nothing was too much trouble, all staff were helpful and friendly and we all had a fantastic time. Thanks Ollie and your team.

Visited the lambley first week in April 2025. 4 of us dined. Two of us ordered the rump cap beef burger one of which wasn't cooked through and bled onto the plate when bitten. Chips were cold. Ordered apple & raisin crumble which is a large portion & tasty but came like warm x two. Finally ordered coffee for three which was served cold. Won't be returning & would not recommend plus expensive. Poor presentation to boot.

Fantastic service from friendly staff following a funeral would recommend

Excellent other than no alternative non dairy milk when asked and only full fat milk do not know any other pub who doesn’t offer alternatives. To be fair manager has offered us free hot drinks when we next dine will be back as everything else was very nice

Staff very efficient, really good coffee however the burgers were tasteless. Overcooked dry, beef burger and the crispy chicken burger was as if the meat was just boiled. Both burgers were bitter and I can only put it down to the grill not being cleaned properly.

Just went for lunch. Really good food, perfect music, friendly atmosphere. See you soon

Rang up last minute Saturday evening to be offered a table for 7 which accommodated for the dog and toddler. Very attentive staff made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Food was good quality, and good sized portions. Not a long wait either, even though the place was busy with a private function.

Sunday lunch not very good the beef was tough the veg was way undercooked even by restaurant standard the gravy was watery and tasteless the yorkshire pudding was well overdone possible burnt the waiter was good but did nothing when told about the yorkshire pudding

Tenía una mesa reservada con amigos para el sábado por la noche y era encantador! Pedimos añadir un par de personas adicionales en el último minuto, que dijeron que no era ningún problema en absoluto. La comida salió excepcionalmente rápido para cuántos de nosotros éramos y todos estuvieron de acuerdo en que era todo encantador 🙂 ¡Hay una razón por la que seguimos volviendo!

Went to my Aunt's funeral wake here. Looks like a nice old pub from the outside and inside doesn't disappoint. Low ceilings, beams etc. Americans would love it

Visited the Lambley for a Birthday meal and drink the steaks were amazing, nice selection of Beers and wine.

Went last night for Valentines. Food was great, very tasty. Service from everyone was great. Very attentive staff. Sat at a table by the window, which had lovely warmth coming from the radiator. Appreciated on a cold evening ☺️ Our second visit. Enjoyed it both times.

Extremely disappointed, booked this a month ahead for a friend's meal out. Checked the menu online which looked great. When we arrived we were given a totally different menu, turned out it was another establishments menu on their website....wish we had gone there!!

A great place, lots of room but still good atmosphere

Hoy fue la cuarta vez que almorzamos en The Lambley. La comida que recibimos fue FRÍA, nuestra comida fue reemplazada, por Fiona. Esta es la segunda vez de 4 que nuestra comida estaba fría. Sin embargo, no habrá un quinto.

Increíble presentación, gran servicio y comida encantadora! Ambiente agradable, personal muy atento Vuelta 10/10 Una visita obligada si te encuentras en Lambley

First time visitor. What a great Sunday lunch we had! Party of seven, and literally every one of us agreed the food was excellent. Meat cooked to perfection for everyone's different tastes, delicious vegetables, and the roasties with truffle and parmesan so good! 🤤 Staff were really friendly and helpful, the decor great, and really good value. That definitely won't be the last time we visit the Lambley!

Baffled as to how many people on here are commenting on the food being good. I found the roast to be very bland with a measley portion, especially for £21. Only getting one carrot was particularly hilarious. Will definitely never come back for a roast. Ordered a kids cheeseburger too and it was awful. Nice staff and atmosphere though.

Been in before and not eaten, all I can say is wow, great food (marmite shredded beef starter) was great and the belly pork was just as nice, great friendly staff nice atmosphere, will definitely be coming back

Lovely food and staff so friendly will be coming back here again 😊

I was a lovely atmosphere and the food was good also the staff were very friendly

Great food, welcoming staff. Perfect for Sunday lunch.

Attended a wedding reception here last week. What a hidden gem this place is. The service and staff were impeccable. Food was to die for and the venue was just perfect. Lovely night had by all.

Had Sunday lunch here yesterday. Thank you for a good all round experience. Not been to the Lamley for a long time, and we wanted to go back for so long. The lunch that we had today was delicious, the beef cooked to perfection. Service was excellent, and the staff could not do enough for us for example we asked about the glasses and how muck we loved them the manager went on line to find where we could get them from. The lovely lady who read out the menu like it was a M&S advertisement was so nice to us, nothing was to much trouble, can't fault it at all. Hope to pop round again in the not too distant future.

We have just held our wedding reception at this beautiful location. Olly and the team are so easy to work with and really did us proud. The bar staff and management are super friendly and welcoming. They let us decorate, have a DJ and the food they served was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend popping down to see them to book your wedding reception. Massive thank you once again to all the chefs, bar staff and management for hosting such a beautiful evening for us. Mel & Bayels

Always enjoy meals out at the Lambley. Great staff, great atmosphere and lovely food. Highly recommended.

Lovely meal, staff very pleasant and helpful

Not a great experience. We love the Railway and so thought this place owned by the Secret Pub Company would also be great. Unfortunately upon arriving half the cask ales were rancid and a 3rd option hadn’t been pulled through by 2pm. I was also served a taster in a glass covered with pink lipstick. The plates and cutlery were grubby when we were served, it doesn’t take much to give them a brief polish or wipe the plates before serving. Food was average, won’t be returning. If you like there to be some attention to detail where you eat then give this a miss.

Nice pub. The staff were lovely too.

It was a great meal I had the fish&chips wow just perfect a good pint and a nice glass of wine The staff were great and chatting with the whole table I can't wait to go again soon

I didn't eat there just met friends for coffee however the venue looked clean tidy, staff well dressed and ready to help.

Sunday lunch for family, one vegetarian & one well behaved dog! We were given a table in the bar area & food & drinks were all lovely..just knocked off one star as the service was very slow(realise it was a busy Sunday) and at one point the lovely girl on the bar was hunting for clean glasses! However with a couple of much needed extra staff Sun lunch would def be 5 star..and we will def be back..

The food was better than I expected.

The staff were lovely, and the service was great. The food was very good, but some portion sizes to small and inconsistent for the prices charged. For example, 8 chips per meal!

Did not have food, just drinks have to say the outside areas are very nice seating on two levels. Staff very friendly. Nice clean toilets well stocked bar we shall be back thanks M&J

I would like to thank all the staff for what they did for my brother's wake on the 2 nd of August.,from the room they gave us to all the food we ate thank you all,

A limited menu which normally is ok as it can be a tedious trying to choose from lots of options however, I don’t eat meat so unless I wanted a Cauliflower Bhaji the only other option was a halloumi burger or fish and chips. Starters my choice was carrot and orange soup 🥴 or a soufflé. So I had bread and hummus with a side of what was described as a rocket and Parmesan salad and it was very disappointing and not great for a nice evening meal out with friends. I asked if I could have a salad made up (not a salad in sight on the menu for summer??) and was told “no sorry” Sadly won’t be going back unless the menu changes according to the season. Not everyone wants soup or soufflé or curry cauliflower on a lovely warm summers evening. I found it really strange that there wasn’t even one salad offered? The fish also covered a measly portion of chips for a male person with us, with a big appetite. He’d also ordered a side dish of broccoli and nuts thinking it perhaps came in a sauce or something a little more adventurous but alas it was just as described…. Boiled plain broccoli and nuts (that just fell off into the dish) which had no point or business being on top of broccoli 😂😂 it did make us laugh though. The steak that came out that friends ordered was cold and had to be sent back

Disappointed. Previous visits to The Lambley have always been great. Unfortunately not this time. The dish ordered (mussels) was bland, tasteless and not a described; under cooked egg noodles not spaghetti. Service were completely preoccupied setting up for a garden party. Missed the need for a spoon (for the noodles), then the bowl for the mussel shells. Gave polite feedback to the chef and asked a question. Nothing back, not even an acknowledgement when I was paying. We won’t be going back in a hurry.

Right from the start nothing appeared to be too much trouble for the staff at this ‘proper’ village pub. Nicely situated in a country backwater,they offered to rearrange the covering of the outdoor eating area to make the most of a light breeze on the hot day we were there. Fish is the difference over local competitors. Although not a seafood restaurant as such, the menu regularly features surprising choice thanks to daily deliveries from distant coastal suppliers. As well as the ubiquitous (but rarely this good! ) haddock and chips, crab and lobster were the day’s specials , with an impressive looking plateau de fruits de mar for ordering in advance. A pleasing discovery in July and probably just as welcome in midwinter.

£17 for a burger and chips, I was expecting something spectacular for that price point but it was a middle of the road burger. Staff were nice and polite. But its damn expensive for what it is 😕

Group of us went down to watch the England game. Staff were brilliant as there were a few more of us than expected but they managed to move a few things about. Had a couple of burgers which were also lovely! Will be coming back for the semi finals!

I was keen to try The Lambley again after it re-opened. It was OK but not amazing. I ordered seafood linguine and was a served a bowl of noodles with no apology or explanation. It was tasty and the seafood was OK. My desert was great - a really light passion fruit tart - home baked and delicious Service was a bit slow

First time visit and was extremely impressed. Although there were only a few other customer’s with it being early lunchtime it had a lovely atmosphere with excellent food and staff. We will definitely visit again.

We had a lovely time this evening. Amazing service and delicious food. Definitely recommend focaccia and garlic infused hummus. And ....... Roast cod with leeks, mussels and patas bravas. Fish and chips also enjoyed. Dessert was amazing, passion fruit tart with a tarragon creme fraiche. I like this pub/restaurant and will definitely return. thank you for a lovely evening.

Great food, friendly service. I highly recommend the Sunday roasts.

Food was lovely little expensive but it was nice

13 of us went for my father-in-law's 90th . Had a great time,staff nice and friendly and very helpful. Thank you. Food was good,but was really all about my father in law and him having his family around him ❤️❤️

A great evening celebrating my dad's 70th birthday. Fantastic service and food. Table booked for 7:30 left at 10pm. Highly recommend for a visit and I recommend the black pudding sausage roll. OMG!

great food lovely attentive staff 👍🏻

Really nice pub in a lovely village

Refreshing gin and tonics, great sandwiches and friendly service. All in a relaxed atmosphere

Lovely quaint pub with polite staff and top notch food !! 10/10

Worst place to eat and unfortunately there’s only one place which is in the village where I had the expectation of having food. Forget about the food the staff lacks basic manners and treat someone from a different country completely different. Worst place ever I had visited in my whole life never thought places and people like this still exist. The manager is so reluctant and careless he took bill off and never cared to apologise for the worst quality food served and instead was smiling when I leave. May be the owners train them to behave like this to keep up the money without serving the goods. Suggestion to the owners: Please leave a board out side your restaurant stating who aren’t allowed so people would stop coming to get insulted on face. Such disgusting place.

Lovely food indeed, more beer on tap needed though. Amazing service and a lovely location. 100% recommended and will be going again.

Had lunch today food was very good and imaginative pub has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very attentive we will be back very soon

Went to the lambley today for lunch (8 of us). Staff were lovely and very attentive / great ambience and the food was delicious and beautifully presented . It’s such an improvement to his ut used to be - definitely will return. Thank you.

This is a lovely village pub. The staff are friendly and happy to help. And it's Dog friendly which is a real bonus for us. I can't comment on the food as we've not eaten here yet.

Fab pub, food is excellent and there’s a very warm atmosphere. There’s a great singer on covering modern pop songs tonight (Friday). Also some lovely walks round the corner.

Just popped in for a couple of drinks during our dog walk !!! X lovely outside area x

Very enjoyable meal for Mother's Day. The food was really nice and the seat by the window was very cosy. A great pub setting with good servce too.

We had a fabulous meal & service. Excellent wine and a must to try has got to be the Rose Nyetimber Sparkling English Bubbles.... delicious. Thank you Ollie for making us so welcome 🙂

Nice cosy pub didn't get chance to eat food so that's why 4 stars

Good choice of dishes on the menu which were presented well and the mains served on hot plates. The food was hot and very tasty which was echoed by the family as we all had different meals. I felt the desserts were over priced. The staff were lovely and attentive, the restaurant was quiet but it was Monday and so lacked atmosphere. Will definitely return and it's nice to see The Lambley open again.

First visit with friends since it re-opened under new management. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food we had was good, but not as great as it has been under past management. I have to make comment on the wine as the Merlot we had was £24, which is available to buy on the high street for £8. My favourite is the Mendoza "Malbec", but at £40 per bottle, sorry but your having a laugh. And as I'm not a "dog friendly restaurant" person, I don't think we will be rushing back for more. But I wish the new owners all the best. Once they realise that high prices does not mean high quality, I'm sure things will improve.

Had the posh fish finger sandwich and hubby had the mini fish and chips. Really tasty and wonderful service. Highly recommend.

Good food, helpful staff. Worth a look.

Brill pub, great service, proper beer

Really nice food and friendly staff

Fantastic Sunday Roast, especially the onion & cauliflower cheese! Decor & staff great too, would definitely recommend!

Don't go Sunday evening if you you want a relaxing evening, last orders for food 6 o clock last orders 8 o'clock for drinks don't call yourself a public house , a joke. First time, LAST TIME. SHAME!!!

Very nice food. Worth the 28 miles drive out there. Would recommend.

Family meal to celebrate new job..excellent quality food. The sea bream was delicious, venison shepherd's pie very nice but portion was a little small for husband. Be advised they do allow dogs in the bar area, doggy treats on bar, but they ask that you phone if possible prior to coming as I assume they don't want too many dogs. Would highly recommend it

Group of five of us had midweek lunch here as a walk-in. We were warmly greeted and given s sunny table and were quickly offered refreshments which arrived promptly. Menu choice was very varied and we all picked main courses. Food arrived in a timely manner and was extremely well presented and was delicious. Fish and chips was glorious with crunchy tartare sauce and great chunky chips. The pasta and risotto were also well received and all was devoured! Coffee was also excellent. Great table service from Kieran who was polite and friendly and made the experience most enjoyable. Will definitely return. Lovely atmosphere, clean toilets and pleasant staff.

Food very average. Typical Bistro pub menu. Luckily it was % off January so it was slightly cheaper otherwise it was expensive for what you are served.

Family get together on christmas eve. 9 of us in total and we all enjoyed our food. Excellent produce and great service. Variety of drinks available. Nice restaurant to visit if you are celebrating .

Went here for a wake, chips were amazing.

A busy night but excellent service and great food

A lovely afternoon meal for myself and all the ladies that lunch ! The braised beef was just gorgeous. Thank you everyone 🎄

I visited here for Sunday dinner, after previously coming here years ago. Very impressed with the makeover, the pub now has a great atmosphere. I had the pork belly, as this is my go-to choice whenever available. It was pretty decent, with the usual accompaniments hitting the spot nicely. The pub does seem to have a poltergeist though. At one point during the meal, a family members pint of cider seemed to leap off the table of it's own accord, with no one near it. The manager kindly agreed to take it off the bill though. Apart from that, a cracking afternoon all round.

Woww what a turnaround clearly under new ownership the food is divine and the service to match. Will definitely start to return here regularly.

Visited with a group of friends for the Christmas menu, vegetables were raw on the turkey Christmas Dinner (sprouts, brocoli & green beans), would need to improve for me to return

Que sera sera Whatever will be will be We're going to Lamb-ley. Scores highly, a winning formula.

Lovely place 😊 we held my brother's wake there and the food and event area were perfect for us! Thank you

Second time at The Lambley, we had Sunday lunch. The main was lovely but the side of Mashed potatoes was tepid. We told the host and he took them off of the bill,however my wife asked for Bread sauce but the server brought my wife some Brown Sauce ( with Sunday lunch ? ) We got the bread sauce and the dinner was lovely . We had Kaffir Lime Panna Cota but we couldn't taste the Lime. It was good ,but could have been SO much better for the price. Ok ,but a little underwhelmed.

Not been to the Lambley for a while & now we're there for a meal twice this week! Reopened & serving great food at good prices. A quality menu & service to compliment it. Polite, friendly & at a pace that suits the diner, making the whole experience a delight. We'll be back.
