The Old Flower Shop in Gedling

Always a good choice to meet up for lunch or dinner with friends .. food has always been amazing and great customer service every time .. attentive and helpful … the refurbishment has made it a much bigger space and has been done very well allowing many more people to enjoy what the old flower shop has to offer … highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just had the most excellent club sandwich at this place and a very nice coffee. Would recommend lunch here.

Refreshed contemporary cafe/bar . I liked it. Food - just a light lunch - I had the chicken club sandwich . Tasty bacon ; chicken a tad dry - overall I enjoyed it. Drinks - relatively low range on draft particularly if you want a bitter - mostly largers - shame. Excellent service which was friendly & professional. Would I recommend- yes I would.

Served by Danielle today who was lovely, food was great loved the music and nice chilled atmosphere too, this is why Mapperley is such a great place to meet coffee or food, friendly and chilled place. It is my birthday 60 today and this put a smile on my face as we had come from town with a bad experience at Slug & Lettuce. So Thank you Danielle and the lovely Flower shop.

Drinks Selection okay. Bar staff incredibly rude! Left after one drink as didn’t want to go treated like a fool by the lady on the bar again. Asked what non alcoholic/soft drinks they had for my mum and she just scoffed and said none. Which was a lie as they had peroni, but still a really poor choice and made me feel embarrassed. Nice place but staff need sorting out

Relatively nice choice of food, which tasted nice. We had the sea bass and for the price I would have expected it to be accompanied with a side instead of having to pay extra for it. We attended on a Friday afternoon about 1:30pm and it was exceptionally busy. This impacted on the service and environment. Everyone was very nice. I would return, but now I would have a more realistic expectation of what I would receive for the money

Very busy at teatime on a Saturday, the Guinness was top quality

Incredibly accommodating and proactive staff, I’ve been served by Connor multiple times and their service was both efficient and excellent, not to mention the manager making room for my group on a busy Saturday. I’ve eaten there 4+ times and have thoroughly enjoyed every meal, huge thank yous to all staff!

Excellent food and service. I found it very noisy but it was Friday night.

Disappointing that given the extension you now seemingly have to book for food on a Sunday. Prior to the extension it was never an issue.

Well .. what a place . Lovely friendly staff and the full English was fantasticly tasty 😋

We visited The old flower shop as it has been newly renovated. We were greeted by very friendly staff . The new decor is lovely classy and modern . I ordered the Club sandwich, my husband the cauliflower bang bang . Both were generous in portion and very tasty . The food is also very reasonably priced . I’d certainly say it is worth a visit .

Cocktails were weak , service was good. Atmosphere was average

En pocas palabras... lo bueno es hermoso y la decoración lo es aún más! Siendo un lugareño, me gusta probar lo que mapperley tiene para ofrecer! La antigua florería está allí con uno de los mejores en el mapa - parte superior. El precio no era feo y la calidad estaba definitivamente allí! ¡También estaba sabroso! Si estás después de un desayuno el fin de semana definitivamente dale una oportunidad a TOFS

Desafortunadamente, me encantaba venir aquí para un almuerzo fácil y agradable durante el embarazo. Sus huevos Benedict y el sándwich del club de pollo son favoritos míos, las patatas fritas caseras son geniales y el servicio siempre fue decente. Sin embargo, después de que tuve a mi bebé, el lugar se volvió muy incómodo, está muy claro que no les gustan las sillas de paseo, pero después de venir con mi mamá para almorzar nos dijeron “tenemos una mesa, pero no para eso” por un gerente masculino muy grosero, el encuentro fue tan grosero que un completo extraño que claramente era solo un cliente salió a nosotros en la calle para disculparse y recomendarnos otro lugar. Entiendo que los restaurantes pueden estar ocupados y las sillas de paseo pueden ocupar algo de espacio, pero no hay necesidad de ser grosero al respecto. Desafortunadamente esta experiencia me ha dejado fuera de The Old Flower Shop, no me apresuraré a regresar en el corto plazo.

Nice cafe, helpful staff. Not cheap but not expensive. Quite popular with an easy ambiance. Decor is nice but not pretentious.

Sunday lunch was superb, quality food, freshly prepared and beautifully presented, staff were very friendly and attentive. Perfect place for a couple or get together with friends. Highly recommend

Buen almuerzo con un grupo de amigos. El servicio fue bueno, rápido y todos disfrutaron de la comida. El Halloumi Kebab era excelente.

This little hidden gem needs to be visited. The lunch and brunch items are spot on

Excellent food, drink and ambience.

Good food served in a timely way even though they were quite busy. No usable cubicles in the men's toilets due to things being broken, which seems weird for a nice place.

Lovely local restaurant /bar, visited a second time recently on a works Christmas meal. The turkey Christmas dinner was OK but sadly not as nice as the Sunday dinner I had previously which was lush. 2 glasses of wine were £16.

We came here for a late Sunday lunch and we really enjoyed it. Both times we have visited recently we have enjoyed the food a lot. We had the roast trio and it was delicious. Recommend this for sure! There was a lot of noisy tables in the restaurant and bar and it was too much for our group and we told the waiting team who offered to move us immediately and we didn't feel it was too much trouble or any inconvenience for them, which was lovely. When we first arrived we were greeted by the manager who was very polite and all the staff were very nice to us and checked in on how our food was. The noise level in the whole pub is quite high every time we come in but if you're out for a fun vibe drink/meal then it's all good. However it was a bit much for us but that is personal preference and we knew that before we came in from previous visits. Definitely a reliable spot in Mapperley for food and a nice time. Thanks Old Flower Shop!

I have been to the Old Flower Shop on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The breakfast is fantastic and the service has always been great.

It was really nice food, good service, didn’t have to wait long for drinks or food will be coming back here again 😊

Good coffee, nice food & friendly, helpful staff. The Old Flower Shop has just had a revamp & is very attractive. A lovely venue for any time of the day or evening.

Excellent food and service. Realistically priced

La cena en un sábado por la noche ocupado fue comida simple hecha muy bien. Buen servicio amable en un ambiente animado. Esperamos con interés la próxima visita que será pronto. Recomendado.

Very nice evening but to many people in a narrow space, Food was good and plenty on your plate the staff were very good but over worked

Average, heard so many good shouts outs for here, nothing special, maybe it’s the area code 🙈😂

Met up with old workmates for drinks. Busy, nice atmosphere. Would visit again.

My experience here as always brillianty wife has vegetarian Sunday lunch I had chicken the best Sunday lunch out we think

Had quite a few meals at the flower shop. Most are ok good enough. But a few have been absolutely awful 😞 like a dried up breakfast sausage and bacon that could only have been from the previous day, so crusty you could not eat them. Sunday dinner two weeks ago the chicken was great but the roast potatoes were terrible. I think they weren’t real! Burnt old rubber things you could never eat. I did complain but it went on deaf ears no sorry nothing. I think the kitchen needs some basic lessons. It’s so disappointing when you look forward to a roast and it’s inedible

The staff are nice enough and the food comes quickly but the cake is ALWAYS stale!!!!!!!! And they never give you tap water even if you have order another drink and just need something refreshing! All in all it’s not the worst place in the world

Excellent service Excellent food.

Excellent service Excellent food.

Been a few times over the years, food is always nice, but the service has declined in my opinion. I'm writing this after my partner and I went in for a drink. We went to sit down when a member of the waiting staff asked if we'd booked a table to which we replied no. She then said we could go to the table we were already half way sat down on. She then immediately asked us what we wanted when we'd had about 1 second to even think about looking at the menu. I said could we have a minute which she looked annoyed about. Furthermore she then went to her colleague, clearly said something about us and then her colleague looked over at us. The whole thing was just bizarre and made us feel uncomfortable so we left and went elsewhere. This is the latest and most extreme episode of my visits. I won't be hurrying back.

A lovely place for drinks and food. We had a meal today which was top class very nicely presented and so tasty. Service and staff were very polite and friendly. I would highly recommend a visit to this lovely restaurant

Came first thing and had a breakfast. It came out really quickly and was ok. Although the bacon was black, had black bits on and tasted more like charcoal than bacon. We never had a check back so I couldn't raise it unfortunately. Service was poor. I had to get up twice to ask for another drink and for our table to be cleared, whilst two of the girls were stood at the other side of the bar chatting away. The manager overheard me ask if we could get our table cleared and the bill, and I did say we'd been waiting quite some time. He didn't seem at all bothered or surprised. The table's are small so two empty plates and empty coffee's don't leave any room. I can't say I'll be back in a hurry. There's much better out there.

Very polite and helpful staff,plenty of places to sit,lovely selection of breakfast items and a decent pot of tea.The atmosphere was welcoming and an enjoyable place to sit and eat.

Lovely and busy place, excellent for breakfasts and with a good range of choices. The food is excellent and the service is good. It has a lovely private garden area if you want to enjoy the sunshine.

Service is usually good. Poor today. Left us sitting there, after clearing our main course....... No offer of dessert, or coffee. Staff just avoided looking our way & some just stood chatting behind the bar. It had become much less busy so there was no excuse. We won't rush back.

Great Sunday roast, beer and service.

Poor management. Staff made an honest mistake with a drink, and the manger refused to put it right.

Good cocktails 🍸I like their 2 for £12 deal also.

From the amazing staff to the outstanding food and drink, always served with a smile best bar in mapperly by a country mile

The staff make the bar excellent bar bar around

Turned up for food on Sunday without a reservation, was greeted with a smile and shown a table both the drinks and the vegetarian roast we both had was very nice and the service was efficient and polite.Best food for the money on Mapperley top.

Visited The Old Flower Shop recently, and it’s easily one of the best bars I’ve been to in Nottingham. The ambience is fantastic—warm, inviting, and with just the right amount of buzz. It felt busy but never overcrowded, which made for a really comfortable evening. The drinks were spot on, and the place attracts a lovely crowd, which only added to the great vibe. It’s got that kind of vibe where you could easily imagine a small indie artist playing in the corner. I think it would be brilliant if they occasionally hosted live performances; it would fit the atmosphere perfectly and make an already great spot even better. If you’re looking for a place with a great atmosphere and good company, The Old Flower Shop is definitely worth a visit.

Nottingham best breakfast, definitely everyone should visit

Very nice, quiet and comfortable. Bakewell cake is delicious!!

Has nice healthy selections, cocktails and wine bar. Attracts a better clientele than pubs do. Mapperley needs more places like this 🍸

Came here for breakfast with my son. I didn't make a reservation but there was still plenty of space. I'd recommend making one if a pre-planned visit. The food came out quickly and was very tasty and reasonably priced. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was a pleasure to eat here ! The food was lovely, and it was excellent service ! Thanks folks 👌😊

Very busy on a Saturday morning. Coffee and cake lovely. Staff friendly and helpful

Nice quiet Drink. Could hear friends speak. Good beer and cider.

Had coffee and full english. Food was fantastic and the service was excellent

Really nice place for a tasty lunch

Cocktail was amazing. However the Panna Cotta was solid with way to much gelatin. Shame as the sorbet and fruits it came with were good. Staff gave a full refund immediately as if aware it was made wrong.

Second time here for lunch. Someone really knows how to 'chef' here. Awesome food and divine chocolate brownie. Ambient atmosphere,lovely attentive staff

Had alot of roasts all over Nottingham & this one tops them all! First time eating here today, lovely staff, HUGE portions & all cooked to perfection. We had 2 trios of roasts & couldn’t find a single fault! Same time next Sunday!

Very busy, but staff still very attentive,

Had the shared tapas and mum had the cream tea. Lovely food. Staff really nice

I really likes the busy front as you came through and then the more quiet dinning area.

Lovely polite and efficient waitress service excellent helpfulness brilliant .

Quality breakfast and the service was great. Thanks in particular to Callum who clearly runs this place professionally.

1st time visiting here and it was fabulous! I will definitely be returning... food and drink was outstanding!

Went for a mother’s day breakfast and it was lovely as always, lovely food and staff and a very happy mum at the end of it which is always a bonus😊Will be back again soon I’m sure!

Been there twice recently & the coffee is really good but let down by not being very hot. Pity really.

Lovely café. We didn't eat, but the service was excellent and very friendly.

food not cooked to temperature. chips just warm, belly pork just warm , and chicken just warm. sent it back. when it came out again, chips hot, belly pork hot. but chicken still warm on outside and cold in middle. they took the chicken off and 20%discount of the bill.

Strongly recommend this place for breakfast. Lovely atmosphere & the staff are amazing, super friendly & personable. Special mention to Calum for always squeezing us in & giving the warmest of welcomes. Also, the delightful Neve & Chantelle, both go above & beyond & always make us feel special. Hubby reckons the full English is the best this side of town & value for money at less than £10. xx

Ducking out of the February rain for my first visit,quick lunch with an old friend.Spot on Tapas with a coffee really nicely buzzing atmosphere great service (grace under pressure).Lost of very good competition on this street.....Accept no substitute!

Good service and excellent coffee

Sharing starter was very nice. Nice steak although the steak was undercooked for a medium well, and I got a sauce I did not ask for...I suspect they mixed us up with an order on next table..didn't stop me eating it and I can do a medium rear steak, the peppercorn sauce was delicious, the chips were very dark and its was a love hate conversation across the table. low score on atmosphere as the pub was very loud but it was a Friday evening

We do love coming here for lunch . Just notice the portions getting tiny and not enough. The food is desent. But don't come hungry eat something at home before hand. We ordered the chicken and sea food paela and the portion was maybe 40 gr cooked rice one peice of little chicken 5 mussels and 3 fried squeed. My mum enjoyed it but I left hungry .

Great place for breakfast with lovely atmosphere and lovely friendly staff. Tasty food with quality ingredients. Will be back again soon. Can't recommend it enough.

I loved my first visit to The Old Flower Shop. The food was great, the service was great and the atmosphere was very chilled. I ordered a hot chocolate with cream and Marshmallows which tasted amazing and for food I had a cheese and ham omelette it was so good and filling. Highly recommended place to have a chilled lunch or brunch.

Frequently visit with my partner or one of my four daughters. Never been disappointed with anything. The food is consistently excellent. The staff are lovely. See you guys in the New Year! Liz, Adam and family

Great food, lovely atmosphere and surroundings.

Really nice coffee and the cake was lovely will be back

Lovely Cafe, great decor thoroughly enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.

Very disappointed in lack of choice for gluten free food. The GF bread was dry, worst sandwich I've gad in ages.

Very busy, seemed like staff unable to cope with amount of customers due to slow speed of servics. Long wait for taking order and paying the bill. Food was okay, but probably won't be back unfortunately

Love it here. Great atmosphere, good service, plus the best cappuccino I've had on mapperley top in ages... Far better than costa!

We had the Christmas dinner here last night really enjoyed it value for money the turkey dinner was nice and big plenty of meat Also had the fish cakes starter again really nice then came the Christmas pudding Service was great no rush to get us away from the table

Great food, excellent service, well kept real ale.

Lovely actually and we will be back.

Beautiful restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. They do lovely cakes too! There's plenty of parking at the back of Coop.

Excellent Sunday lunch today- delicious fresh meat and veggies followed by a chocolate pudding. Really really good food and excellent value for money!

Really nice restaurant delicious steak

Lovely service and dinner menu with a great atmosphere for a birthday meal

My daughter asked for no mayonnaise on her lunch. But before she realised she had eaten one sandwich she left the rest i pointed this out to a waitresses and she was charged %50 off the meal price which i think its not acceptable she ate one quarter of a full sandwich As my daughter paid for all i did not make a fuss. But it has put me off from going back for a while

Lovely place. Really friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, nice coffee. Will be back

Great place to eat, any time of the day.

You would think that is not that hard to cook an English breakfast. The bacon was bitter and covered in black and I can only asume that the chef is not cleaning his grill very often, the eggs were uncooked and the coffee just avarage. I mentioned this to the girl serving us and she just said "oh, I am sorry to hear that and she left". We paid £35 for 2 coffees 2 English and water.

First time here. Sat near the bar. The side door was open and the smell of smoke was to much. Staff was down the ally smoking!!! When they came back in they didn't wash their hands. The smell of smoke.... even the cook went for a smoke and then walked through the cafe smelling of smoke. This is not acceptable in this day and age. When we asked for the door to be closed we just got blank looks..... not very friendly..... so sad as im sure the owners would not be happy with this.... not side if we would come beck.

Generous sized meals. Food tasted delicious

First time here don't think we'll be back nice place quite busy we didn't book but table for two was sorted Table cleaned , drinks ordered and came quickly lasagne x2 ordered the wife's looked over cooked to dry white sauce none there sent back exchanged for burger this was not much better asked for the bill and not charged for the meal Happy with that waiting staff lovely
