Unfortunately, visited on a Saturday evening when a table of 18 was in the main area. The table was extremely loud and raucous. The food was nice as normal. When I was asked if everything was OK, I said "no, this is awful" to which the reply was "sorry, we have a table of 18 in!!". They would have been better to offer the room for hire to the group as there was absolutely no consideration for other diners from the table or the restaurant regarding the noise. Also, to top.it off when we asked to change the peas for beans on my sons plate, we were told "well that's what you ordered as it's on the ticket!". We replied well the restaurant is that noisy, perhaps you didn't hear us. To pay £50 for this poor experience was totally unacceptable.

We planned a buffet style family reunion ideally in Calverton, Woodborough or surrounding location. We wanted a private room or area for about 40 of us including children. Initially this proved challenging, such as £300 room hire, inflexible or expensive menu options, no play area for children, restricted parking etc. I spoke to about 20 venues but when I spoke to Clive at the Nags Head, a lovely pub in idyllic village location, I was put at ease immediately as he could offer everything we wished for. He has 3 standard buffet options but these were simply guidelines and within reason we could ask for anything we wished for. We chose an adaptation of the highest level option but decided we would also offer a hot dish, chilli and rice. The challenge here was we didn’t want to offer a buffet serving for everyone if there was also a hot option. We left it to Clive’s judgment to work out how much of each we needed. Children had their own menu. We also asked Clive to cut and serve a celebration cake and provide a display board for photos. On the day everything was organised to perfection. The open room behind the bar, which has its own bar area serving real ales is an ideal size and well set out. The buffet was excellent and brought out a little at a time so as to remain fresh. The children happily played in the garden on the slide, little house or bushes whilst the larger kids played football on the field area. There is also outside seating. The food was beautiful and ample and Clive’s calculations on quantities were perfect. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Afterwards many guests remarked at how superb the event was and there was not a word of criticism. There were no up front costs and the price was very reasonable. So many thanks to Clive, Dave and his team. If it was possible to award more than 5 stars I would but 5 stars it is.

The Nags Head, Woodborough is a much-loved, traditional village pub with great food and first class ales all served by friendly and helpful staff. The dog-friendly and comfortable snug has recently been redecorated and it looks wonderful, as does the bar and restaurant. There is a large, safe and enclosed outdoor area to enjoy when the weather is fine. I've had some lovely meals there (on my own and with family and friends) and they've been of a consistently high standard; there's also plenty of choice. The Nags is a pub that suits different occasions and it's always welcoming. It's 'my local' and I'm very lucky that it is.

We, a party of 15 dined at The Nags Head on a sunny Saturday afternoon. We received a very friendly welcome & the restaurant & the garden was very well kept, which is always a great start. We all ordered on the day & the food definitely didn’t disappoint…. Everyone was very complimentary of their choices & mine was very warm & delicious. ( I had the steak pie) I didn’t have room for a pudding but the people that did, were again very happy & they all were perfectly presented. During the meal I lost an item but didn’t realise till I got home. I contacted them & they went straight to the table to search for it … Luckily it was still there! They kindly posted it back to me as I live Devon. Nothing is definitely too much trouble & I was very grateful to get it back. So… Lovely food, lovely place & great staff. Would definitely recommend. Special thanks to Dave for posting back to me 😃🏅

My parents come here often with their friends for a catch-up and I thought we'd give it a go as they always have such good things to say about the food. Well they were spot on! Yes, maybe it's slightly 'dated' if you compare it to these 'gastro' pubs and chains but boy the service and food is amazing! I had the small ribs which was plenty big enough and my partner had the gammon steak and there was no quibble when he asked for pineapple and eggs (at no cost). Usually the fore mentioned pubs charge extra. The Creme Brulee is blooming lush and the brandy floater coffee was delicious. My parents say the pie and lasagne is a must so we'll be back next week to try those! Well Done Nags Head! X

After waiting for 5 minutes at the bar we were allocated a table. That is as good as it got. We decided on our drinks & then chose our meals from the menu. We then watched waitresses bringing what looked liked great plates of food.But unfortunately we were completely invisible to the staff, so after almost 25 minutes we reluctantly decided to leave. Such a shame especially as we moved on to another Green King establishedment in Lowdham where we were served immediately.

We visit The Nag’s Head every couple of months or so when visiting family in Nottingham. The food has always been excellent. We celebrated a 90th birthday there at the start of February, with a party of 14. All of the meals were delicious and everyone was pleased with their food. However, what really impressed me was the speed, efficiency and respect that the staff responded with when faced with a medical emergency in our party. The first aider very quickly had the situation under control and dealt with the matter until the paramedics arrived. Thank you again to all concerned.

Been coming here for years and the place has nose dived!!! Although the food was still up to its excellent standard the experience was not. It took 15 mins to be served by the lone bar staff ( 2 others were having a break together) there was one person in front of me when I arrived by the time I was served 6 people weee waiting ( there’s was only 20 in the whole pub) food came out quickly followed by drinks, no cutlery which I had to ask for, I had to ask for the side I had ordered as well as after 5 minutes of food arriving it hadn’t come. Asked for a desert menu, no one bothered to bring one over. The bar and outside area was covered in dirty glasses and pots, the outside area appeared to have the remains of a pigeon in it. I’m not sure if it’s new management but if it is please bring back the old

The staff were all pleasant and helpful and we were treated efficiently and politely whilst following the 'Covid' rulesI' We were required to wear masks whilst going through the pub to the outside seatting area, which wasn't a problem.

We have eaten and drank here since it’s re - opening after the pandemic. Unfortunately today we had an awful experience... we had just done a 4 hour trip back from the seaside. We chose to eat here as it has the best outdoor space and shelter and it was torrential rain all day. We were glad to of gotten out the car. I’m 5 months pregnant, I was with my partner and 4 year old child. We were desperate for a hot dinner and drinks after such a drive. As we entered the pub we were greeted by the manager who said he would be with us in a minute. We said no problem as we were all desperate to use the toilet. As we came out he loos. The manager asked us if we had face masks to which we said we didn’t as we are all exempt. He asked us if we had an exemption card ! By law you don’t have to prove your exempt with such a card so no we didn’t have one. Plus after being in the establishment several times before there had never been an issue. When we politely said we had no such thing. The manager tried to refuse us entry. We were explaining our reasons for exemption and he did not listen... we went to sit down , then within a minute or two. Explained he’d spoken to his boss, who had asked us too leave. His body language, his un reasonable reasoning and rudeness to us was disgraceful , highly embarrassing, discriminatory behaviour ! Unsatisfactory service and certainly won’t be getting our custom in the future. Still thinking about looking into taking this matter further.

This was a good village pub providing acceptable “pub grub “. The majority of its menu reheated frozen products which in the main were ok and good value. However over recent months the chef appears to be on a bonus to improve profits with lower quality food, eat and fish and smaller portions eg smaller portions of fish made up to look larger by surrounding it with more batter.

Two seniors out for a tripette, came upon the Nags Head at lunchtime. A warm welcome, the menus full and imaginative and we duly found ourselves a very pleasant table near the garden entrance. To order, you do require your table number, but these are clearly set out on each position. The whole property has a feeling that it is cared for, very clean and tidy throughout, and the dreaded toilets were immaculate.My wife and I both choose the grilled gammon, that arrived in a good time frame and was very well presented, with two soft fried eggs....a very substantial meal, and very well prepared.We would certainly visit again and have recommended the establishment to friends.

Popped in for a quick lunch. Lots of choice on the menu and wasn’t expecting too much from the pub at all. Pleasantly surprised. We both fancied fish and chips. When I went to order I was asked if I wanted the “normal” sized ones or a smaller plate. I asked what the difference was which was a whole fish. So we had one of each. Well I’m glad I was told this as the normal sized portion was huge. My smaller portion was perfect and priced well. Normally when you opt for a smaller size you get a poxy portion but not here. Very impressed start to finish although the food came out really hot so had to give it a few minutes to cool. Will be returning.

A pub with a large dining room and large car park. It gets lots of custom from elderly residents from the surrounding villages. They do a menu with standard size meals and lite bites. Have been here lots of times despite it being over half an hour from home. The food is consistently good and the service is good. Personally I would prefer at table ordering rather than ordering at the bar but this is a minor thing. It does get busy, when I was last thère for lunch a group of 10 and another group of 8 dropped in on spec, which they went out of their way to rejig tables to accommodate. Well worth a visit

Popped in for a pint with the partner and dog tonight. Only one girl serving with a huge queue of people wanting to order drinks, food, some for parties of 6+. Waited patiently as the young girl was trying her best to keep things going. Someone else appeared from nowhere and started serving. Never asked who was next etc. so I left. I think if you are a busy pub which this ones seems to be getting for food then you should have a special area where orders can be taken or at the table so other people can enjoy their local just for a drink.Think I'll pop down the road next time.

This is a nice pub in the village of Woodborough which is on the outskirts of Nottingham just ff the A6097, we went with friends and we had booked. On arrival we were quickly shown to our table.All drinks and food must be ordered at the bar but there was plenty of pleasant staff serving so no long wait, on Sunday you can eat from the main menu or from a specials menu, as a note midweek they do s lite bites menu at lunchtime for £5.95 and an unusual time to dine menu between 6.00 pm and 7.30 pm and the price you pay is the time you order.We went for the Sunday lunch with choice between beef, turkey and lamb, the do a full portion for £8.95 or a smaller version for £6.95 for smaller appetites, we all had the lamb which came out on a large oval plate and was accompanied with roast and mashed potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbage, stuffing and a Yorkshire pudding and it was very nice.All desserts were £4.25 and we went for a Summer pudding, strawberry cheesecake, caramel apple pie and cheeses and biscuits, I think the summer pudding was the winner but the were all nice and came with either cream or ice cream.Great no frills pub with good food.

It was like travelling back to the 50s. The decor was shabby and faded and there was no atmosphere. Staff performed their roles in a perfunctory manner and seemed anxious to clear the pub, switching lights off as soon as tables were vacated, wayptchung for the last mouthful of a drink to be taken and pouncing when the glass was put on the table. The landlord /manager was under the misapprehension that he was funny, when actually he was simply embarrassing.

We have eaten here a few times and never been disappointed.. the food is tasty, well presented and good size portions. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the pub even though a bit old fashioned was comfortable and cosy..

The staff were pleasant and welcoming. Not too busy but a enjoyable ambience.The fish and chips were tasty but the mixed grill was disappointing. It looked fine but the steak and gammon were tough and really chewy. Generally the other meats were not best quality . But portions sizes were ok. Maybe try something else another time.

We had passed this pub several times after visits to Nottingham and determined that one day we would stop for lunch as it looks so nice from the road. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and we found s nice table near the window. The furnishings look a little dated, 70s style carpet and dark dining furniture but it was smart and clean. It does appear though that it is a very popular spot for the elderly, as virtually all the other diners were of a certain age (unless it's just a Tuesday deal). We ordered Avocado & Prawn and Thai Fishcakes as our starters, which were fine, however the fishcakes were still slightly frozen inside. They were replaced and the item removed from our bill, which was nice. Mains were Steak & Ale Pie which was full of meat and very tasty, also the Pork Stack (Cumberland sausage, pork steak and gammon) with black pudding and fried egg, 1lb of meat. It was quite tasty but a lot to eat, so no room for dessert. Overall the food was good value pub grub, but I was left feeling quite disappointed.

The fish n chips were lovely, freshly cooked, and you can even get take away, but the small fish was extremely small, more suitable for a child, and I think this should be emphasised when ordering.

My mother, wife and I went to this pub for Mothers Day lunch, a fortnight in advance we were unable to book a table until 4 pm, because of the day some items had been removed from the extensive menu, but this did not cause us any problems. The staff gave us a friendly greeting and rapidly seated us at the reserved table, the staff were attentive without being intrusive, the meals arrived i a timely manner and were very well presented at the table, all three meals were a visual and olfactory delight, prior to a taste sensation. The portions are extremely generous. The desert menu was a real pleasure.

My husband and I decided to go somewhere for lunch and plumped upon The Nag's Head. We didn't make a mistake.The staff were friendly and helpful, food was of good quality and we weren't waiting long, even though the place was busy for the whole time we were there. This will definitely be a pub we return to....

Genuine good pub food, with that little extra. One of the few independent inns, well run, friendly, nice outdoor seating for warm days, and a generally good atmosphere

Waited about 40 mins for a starter, then had to ask twice for the mains, got served about an hour and a half after ordering. Staff not very accommodating, just got very touchy, which isn't something I'd expect from a brand name of Greene King. I'd say the majority of us were happy with the food but some items not available and some served without sauces and accompaniments. Seafood 'platter' misleading - says on the menu 'calamari strips' (plural) yet only one mediocre strip is on the plate. Asked waiter and they said you only get one. I think you should change the menu to avoid disappointment. Had to ask for dessert menus as crockery not taken away from tables even after 30 mins of finishing. No check backs to see if everything was OK. All in all quite disappointing.It's a cosy little place but it's missing the warm and friendly welcome that a village pub should offer. Won't return in a hurry.

Fair to say meal was mediocre at best, meals weren't very hot and my mother-in-law said her meat (lamb) was tough. The service was terrible, had to wait ages for table to be cleared after main course so we could order dessert, some of which were sold out. Mother-in-law very disappointed, won't be in a rush to go back.

We struggle asba family to eat out due to having a 8 year old with ASD. But we found this out of the way pub is not to busy and packed in like sardines when sat at tables. The staff are friendly and cooked food not on the menu for our son. There is a lovely park at the back and plenty of grass for children to play and all gated in and safe.

I was very surprised to find that the Nags Head at Woodborough had some very poor reviews as we have found it very good on the whole, It was when I read the poor reviews that it became clear, you had mixed up the Nags Head with Woodborough Hall which is a completely different place, If people did not know the difference if would have done The Nags Head no favours and they would have missed out on a very good meal and service and a very reasonable price.

Despite living just a couple of miles away from here for the last four years, we went here with friends for Sunday lunch a coupleb of weeks ago. Friends and neighbours had told us the portions were quite big but, hey, how big can they be right?Well, we made the mistake of having a starter consequently we couldn't finish the main course!It was delicious! 2 lovely thick slices of beef cooked to perfection, home made Yorkshire pudding and all the usual accompaniments, perfectly kept ale and attentive staff. I fear for my waistline as this is obviously going to become a regular haunt.Try it, you won't be disappointed but be advised, if you're going for Sunday lunch make sure you book!

On 6/8/16 we had our wedding reception at the nags head. It was such a lovely venue for the reception with such a large space outside for photos and even fireworks! The food was really good and when planning the wedding with the pub landlord we were given so much choice of what we could have which was great. The staff were so professional and attentive to our guests. The decoration that the landlords wife did for us was amazing, the place was transformed and all of our guests commented on the decorations. The amount of work that was put in and attention to detail was great. It is such a lovely pub with wonderful staff and they created a perfect venue for our wedding reception, thank you :)

Four of us went to the Nags for a recent Sunday Lunch. We found the food hot, tasty and well cooked. They also do smaller portions which are ideal for the smaller appetite. There is a good selection of starters and puddings, with something to please most people. The staff are pleasant and service was good. My only criticism would be that the choice of veg with our meal was a bit uninspiring for me personally; peas carrots and white cabbage, it did remind me a little of a school dinner. But that hasn't stopped me from giving it 5 stars. A reliable place to take family, to enjoy a good meal in pleasant surroundings.

Poor service, argument behind the counter when ordering, food cold and meat not up to much, long wait for pudding which was the best part - had to remind them we were still waiting. Such a shame as we have spent many christmas meals here and had many lunchtime meals, but it was dreadful today.

Our first visit to this very popular restaurant, and we were impressed by the food on offer. One of our party had a small Sunday roast turkey - which was a goodly portion; one had pork chop with cheese and apple sauce and one had the Butternut Squash risotto. All were declared tasty and satisfying. A good selection of naturally Gluten and Dairy free main courses and a small choice of Gluten free sweets, but no Dairy free option. Disabled ♿ parking, some wheelchair ♿ friendly tables and good sized clean disabled ♿ loo that is kept locked with key behind the bar. WiFi available. Worth a weekday visit to sample more of the dishes on offer.

Plenty of menu options available, light bite menu and choice of sizes for the roast dinner. I find the smaller portions are plenty big enough. Food is always good quality and good value. Service is friendly and speedy. Seating available outside with children's play park. Lounge side of pub very homely and comfortable, stylishly decorated.Quiz nights good fun..Always feel welcome. Fab village pub.
