The Pudding Pantry in Nottingham

Absolutamente me encanta este lugar, la comida siempre es increíble con porciones masivas y un montón de opciones vegetarianas. Gran servicio de todo el mundo cada vez, excepto un saludo particular para Luke que nos consiguió a mí y mi compañero se sentó súper rápido en un sábado increíblemente ocupado. Recomiendo encarecidamente los brunch de despensa, no hay razón para que las tortitas, frijoles en salsa de tomate y hongos al ajo vayan juntos, pero los magos en la cocina hacen que todo funcione!

Had the perfect eggs royal here, fresh salmon, perfect eggs, pancakes not muffins, top tier brunch!

Un menú tentador y un personal servicial y amable, pero desafortunadamente, la comida era promedio. Un bagel de tocino incluía tocino como cuero que era difícil de comer - mi mamá tuvo que dejarlo. Se informó a un miembro del personal, pero no se ofreció nada en su lugar. No se hizo ninguna deducción de la factura. Muy decepcionado.

Excellent breakfast and service👍😁

My husband and I had a fab brunch today. The service as soon as we arrived to when we left was great and the staff very attentive. The food was amazing and the best brunch place we have been too. Lots of choice, great portion size and good quality food. We will be back! ☺️

An ideal address for gourmets! Breakfast, Lunch and tea time you will find something to warm you up. I recommend 👍

Tucked away hidden gem. Everything is prepared and made hand made. Lovely selection of brunch options and enticing bakes. Would recommend and would definitely visit again. Keep up the good service!

Amazing breakfast - Love the portion sizes and friendly staff would definitely go again

Great service, lovely food and amazing staff

Muchas gracias al equipo de The Pudding Factory por tan maravilloso desayuno. Llamamos aquí como recomendó un amigo, en la parte posterior de una escala de concierto de música de cumpleaños. La presentación, calidad y sabor de cada uno de los artículos en nuestro plato lleno de gente fue simplemente excepcional. Preciosa decoración y zumbido animado, personal muy educado. No puedo recomendar este establecimiento lo suficientemente alto : )

Lovely breakfast with great portion size! Would have been lovely to have a cheeky Buck's Fizz but unfortunately they don't serve alcohol before 11am, they also didn't have the orange juice anyways. Still a nice chilled vibe (if you don't mind a Beyoncé playlist)

Pensé en intentarlo en un lugar en el que no había estado antes y fue una buena elección. El personal era encantador y la comida era agradable, pero solo me pareció un poco caro para lo que era. Estaba ocupado siendo un sábado por la mañana, pero fue una buena experiencia en general, si no te importa pagar un poco más no es un mal lugar para parar.

Came here today with my friend. Can I just say that the branch in trinity square is so welcoming in comparison to the Sherwood branch. As soon as we came in we were greeted by a group of cheerful ladies and seated straight away. The service, to the food and timings of food arrival were 10/10! Absolutely loved my little brunch catchup. We were welcomed and this made our day. Sherwood branch need to learn from the service that was provided today from the trinity square branch.

Phenomenal breakfast. Never fails to impress 🥰

This place is ridiculously overrated. The woman in charge, possibly the owner, is unbelievably rude and arrogant. She clearly has no idea how to speak to customers properly! The staff was polite, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. We ordered pancakes, and they were the absolute worst I’ve ever had – dry, rubbery, and inedible. The filter coffee was equally terrible! Honestly, this is one of the worst places I’ve ever been to in Nottingham!

Eggs benedict was 2 hard boiled eggs swimming in Hollandaise sauce. When someone orders “poached” eggs (or an eggs benedict) please don’t have the audacity to serve hard boiled eggs and charge £9.95 for it.

The staff were so rude. Primarily, the managers (not in aprons) who had the attitude that we were bothering them when we made simple requests, like a clean table. No courtesy check. Food was cold. I had to go and ask for one of my dishes that had been forgotten and left on the side. I decided to wait until I got home after seeing the state of the toilets. Really disappointed.

Pudding Pantry is a must-visit for dessert lovers and brunch enthusiasts alike! We had a fantastic brunch with the most delicious pancakes—fluffy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The variety of puddings and sweet treats on the menu is impressive, and everything we tried was absolutely delightful. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our visit even better. Highly recommend for a sweet brunch experience!

The Pudding Pantry is an absolute gem! I visited for brunch and was blown away by the quality of the food. The pancakes are fluffy and delicious, and the variety of toppings makes it hard to choose just one. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends or indulging in a sweet treat. If you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit!

Amazing food, generous portion sizes it was so delicious deffo recommend

Great atmosphere, great staff, great food! Highly recommend.

We were greeted and sat immediately. The waitress who took our order couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating - especially as I tend to make a few changes to my order. All options were clearly described to us. The food itself was a beautiful temperature and arrived promptly. The baked beans are tomato puree based and quite an acquired taste. The rest is as expected and really tasteful. Full marks here. You're then left in peace until you're ready to pay. It is worth noting you'll have to grab their attention, they won't approach you with a bill. Actually a nice touch. This is purely personal and not a reflection of the establishment however it was a little loud in there for me - but Saturday afternoon, what do you expect? Shows they're busy. :-) Overall, brilliant experience. Really nice place.

Brilliant place to go for a nice brunch and a coffee. Staff are always lovely and the food is excellent with a lot of very good vegetarian options. The Turkish Eggs are a real gem!

Very busy place, not somewhere to sit and relax comfortably as it is too loud and my dining companion struggled to hear me at all over the noise but food was brought promptly and the staff were very nice and helpful. A couple of my pancakes were slightly burnt and had hard bottoms which was a shame but the large amount of sauce at least helped. The vanilla ice cream was tasteless but the salted caramel delicious. The pancakes were ok but a little bland. The apple crumble cheesecake was incredible. Overall a mixed bag but I wouldn’t be put off giving it a try, portion sizes are excellent.

Tight knit area, which meant you could hear other people’s conversations and they could hear mine. Felt like we were being rushed to order and rushed to leave after we were finished with my meal. The bacon tasted like it had been re heated and pancakes were a little dry.

Visitamos aquí con nietos que estaban en el cielo y les encantaron las tortitas. Las porciones eran grandes y muy agradables, estoy seguro de que querrán que las llevemos de vuelta, estaba muy ocupado y la camarera era muy servicial en conseguir nuestra mesa para 4 listos

The 4-tier pancakes are S-tier. Good to share one plate with 2 pax if you want as it’s really a lot. Tried the Apple Crumble pancakes and it’s lovely!

Disappointing Food OK, but nothing special. The waitress had zero clue what we were asking for, even as we pointed to it on the menu. Drinks very expensive and tea cups silly as you can't grasp the handle. A single toilet for about 40 covers ....

I brought my mum out for afternoon tea at the weekend and we were both really disappointed. The food was ok but the service was lacking, taking over 15 minutes just to bring us our tea let alone the food. What stood out most though was how dirty the place was. It was disgusting. The floor was engrained with food and grime, the high chair for my daughter wasn’t any better. In fact, my daughter has a sickness bug and I can only attribute it to the pudding pantry as she didn’t touch anything else whilst we were out and we stayed home Sunday. I have seen your response and in reply would like to add that I highly doubt the “high grade sanitiser” had in fact been used in this instance due to the disgusting state the place was in. Also, norovirus is not airborne.

Great brunch spot! The team were so friendly & the service really good! Great food & smoothies. Perfect Sunday morning spot!!

This place was one of my favourites when it first opened. Great food and desserts. I have been several times since then Sadly the quality of foods and drinks is not same as used to . I had a Pantry breakfast really disappointing and my daughter’s pancakes with caramel sauce so basic . Drinks ok I have to say that service is always great though,stuff really friendly and helpful. Put some love in your food guys

Popped in for brunch today. Food was excellent, really good choice of menu. Staff friendly and very helpful. Lovely little venue. Will return soon.

Great food and service, bit of a construction site outside but doesn't take away from the experience if you're sat inside

We came here today and sat outside whilst the weather was nice. The service was lovely and they were very happy. I had the eggs Benedict which came on pancakes (strange but it worked). My partner went for the chorizo hash and I had food envy. Will be back soon to try the sweet items.

I am shocked this place is still open with its current state of dirtiness and overall poor state of food safety and hygiene.

Unfortunately we had to wait 1 hour before receiving the ready dishes, however the staff was kind and apologized. The dishes were divine!

Terrible experience. The eggs Benedict were on the verge of being hard boiled my partners breakfast was only just warm and we had to hear the staffs conversations which were quite child like and immature. We did get the breakfast swapped but it still wasn't hot as a fresh cooked breakfast should be! We got our drinks for free but surely it should be the other way round as the drinks were the only good thing about our visit and we left most of the breakfast!? Poor food, rude inexperienced staff and as a company didn't know how to rectify clear obvious errors.

Was skeptical looking at some of the low reviews but no need to be, it was lovely! We went when it was VERY busy, got seated and served in great time and the food and service were great :) Will go again and recommend!

Not pleasant visit We order full pantry Wait 45 minutes to arrive For that time nobody come ask if we need any drink or do we need anything etc If is like that long wait Customer need be aware before ordering My son want pouches eggs They came hard like stones etc Nobody came and ask if everything was alright When we pay i mention but lady say kitchen is behind today .....But we shut aware at least and care of waiters was none

It’s very nice their breakfast is fantastic. the waiter is very kind and they bring the food on time. their tea is good and the place is so good to sit and relax and to do work.

Long waiting time, probably should have gave a score of 1 out of 5 to match the ratio of cooks to waiters. We waited forever for the food, when it came out only one of the dishes was warm, the rest of the food was cold (family of 5). We were thinking that they just left the rest of the food out whilst they prepared the last dish? Eggs were cold, full English cold, we didn't ask for a reheat because we just wanted to get out of there at that point. Only plus is that the dish that was warm tasted lovely (buttermilk chicken on pancakes)

Been here many times before, but it seems to have gone downhill. The restaurant smells of stale food, and the whole place needs a good scrub! Dirty walls, sticky tables and seats, and grime and dust everywhere (which never gives you much hope about the kitchen!). Even the menus were greasy and crumpled. Breakfast was only ok - the toast was oddly pre buttered (who does this?!) with what tastes like margarine rather than proper butter. An option on this would have been far better. The poached egg was cold and mostly runny egg white so it got left. Disappointed today but didn’t want to make a fuss (and went off the food rapidly after seeing how dirty everything was). If you want to go, go to the Beeston branch which is much better.

Went here on recommendation, it didn't disappoint. The staff were all lovely and very accommodating, it's very cute inside and the food was absolutely delicious. We ended up staying for a few hours as it was so nice in there.

My first experience of eating at Nottingams The Pudding Pantry. Really lovely decor and love food. I had the pancakes, and others had the fry up. My only gripe would be as a Canadian that the little pot of maple syrup is really not enough for that many pancakes. It got quite busy as we were eating and we had to ask for the milk for the coffee which wasn't great. Also, the music is way too loud. As we were finishing, the chatter and music were quite loud. People have to talk louder over the music. Overall, it is an OK experience, and we will return to try more Lower stars for the loud atmosphere otherwise great 👍🏻

Finally found a fantastic breakfast venue in Notts. Incredible food

One of the best breakfast and brunch places in Nottingham great atmosphere and good vibes perfectly for a Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon tea Pancake eggs Benedict is my favorite but I also recommend building your own pancakes

Great service, terrible food The pancakes were undercooked and the vegetarian bacon tasted like rubber

Went for afternoon tea for my friend's birthday, the food was amazing and the sausage rolls the best I've ever tasted. The service was great too, lovely, friendly staff.

Excellent full English Breaksfast. Service friendly and fast. Thanks !

Went here today for the first time. Had a lovely experience the staff were very polite the food was very nice we had the breakfast everything cooked well good products however the eggs wasn't very good cheap small eggs no flavour and before anyone comments saying there free range there not as I have my own hens. Apart from egg gate I would highly recommend this place good menu nice food reasonable price and good staff

I ordered the vegetarian pantry brunch. 20 minutes later I was served the meat version. This was returned immediately. A further 20 minutes later I received the “vegetarian” version. The hash brown was burnt to a crisp. The vegan rashers were like plastic and impossible to cut. The beans were dry and cold along with the rest of what was in the plate. The only part that was warm and edible was the vegan sausage. It seemed to me that the original plate was left on the side whilst the meat parts were replaced by the vegan alternatives. After complaining the food was taken away and I was asked to pay for the pot of tea that I had to leave. I had hoped for a bit more of an apology and maybe not be asked to pay for the tea. The counter staff, however gave me the impression of indifference and an unconcerned attitude.

Great food, just very slow service

Incredible cafe! Most delicious brunch pancakes and wonderful friendly service. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a couple of cakes and a coffee. Really nice,clean place. Bit of an unusual arrangement inside given the place is long and thin,but it didn't feel cramped. Food was enjoyable, would definitely stop in again if I'm in the area.

We love it here. The food is incredible. They have the best pancakes and vegetarian / vegan breakfasts and lots of other vegan options too. The team are always so friendly, especially Lee who is always very warm and kind. Thank you all!

Absolutely fabulous! Lovely atmosphere, very pretty interior and absolutely delicious food! We couldn’t finish all our afternoon tea but it was gorgeous! Will definitely be back again

Took my grandson here for lunch prior to the Theatre. We really liked the look of the venue, the staff were very attentive, the food was yummy but the music was far too loud, we could hardly hear each other. We like to talk whilst eating, it's a social thing. But unfortunately I left with a headache and my grandson even referred to the noise in the pudding pantry today when we were at a different venue in Lincoln. So perhaps you may consider turning the noise down a little so people could converse and stay a while longer.

Big portion , I can not finish it because the egg sauce is a little bit greasy

This place is heads & shoulders above any other place in Nottingham, I absolutely LOVE it! 👌🏼 Me, my partner and our new baby visit often, every time we’re in town, and each and every time the food, drinks & service are faultless 🫶🏼 The food is absolutely delicious and the service is the best I’ve experienced, so much so that I actually told the manager and staff how amazing they all are when I was there just a few days ago ☺️ Credit where credits due, this place is awesome, I very highly recommend and if I could give more than 5 stars then I definitely would ⭐️ Unique & quirky places of this standard are few and far between these days 👌🏼

Jeepers. And I'd already eaten half of it. Vegan carrot cake - surely two of your five a day. Good, earthy coffee too.

Food was nice and the pancakes are really fluffy, just wish everything was served hotter as the food went cold really fast. Place is nicely decorated but a bit cramped and they play music so it can get quite loud.

Treat gor Mothers day. Beautifully present perfect cream tea. Had family problem and ? Manager was incredible very kind and helpful.Service from all other staff was very good too.

Excellent spot for brunch, legendary pancakes and friendly staff

Poor service rude manager had to wait ages only had 4 tables for breakfast could not book for breakfast all other table booked up for after noon tea

Amazing afternoon tea for Mothers Day! We felt very welcomed and looked after, great service. Really innovative food instead of the usual sandwich’s it was a lovely change for quiche, pita, sausage roll etc. Overall a wonderful visit with a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

My go to place for pancakes!!! Love the food although I have noticed that portions are now reduced in size. Kids friendly too as I often take my daughter and the staff has always been 🥰

My girlfriend and I visited The Pudding Pantry in Nottingham city centre on Saturday 2nd March 2024. We had to wait outside for approximately 20 minutes for a table to become available. Once seated, we patiently waited an hour for our food, which was considerably longer than expected. However, the most disappointing aspect was the quality of the meal itself. The entire breakfast was tepid, suggesting that it had been left out for an extended period. The bacon lacked crispiness, the eggs and sausages were notably small, and the pancakes were dry and took up most of the plate. While I don't mind waiting for a cooked meal, I had expected that the meal would be served hot and with the quality you typically offer. Unfortunately, this was not the case during our visit.

Great vegetarian breakfast, bacon and sausage were amazing! French toast also fab, fruit was fresh and good quality. Service was excellent, staff friendly and really looked after us, Thank you so much!

Really nice cafe. The pancake really delicious.

Nice and cosy little place for breakfast/brunch in Nottingham City Centre. The meals are delicious with massive portion sizes - pancakes make it extra filling. Although the atmosphere was a bit cramped, it was lovely and well decorated. We ordered the following: •The Full Pantry (with extra egg) •Ham Hock Hash (with extra eggs) •Apple Crumble •Homemade Chai Major downside is the service which can be extremely slow when busy - was ignored by some staff who avoided eye contact. The other staff were quite welcoming though. Nevertheless, worth a visit for the experience and I would go again, maybe at a quieter time!

If you want to have a late brunch this chain is serving after 4pm brunch which other restaurants in Notts don’t do. The food is nice but not the best I’ve had However beverages are very good Good value for quantity There is always some waiting time but the waiters are very kind and quick.

Went for an early morning snack with my son before a long journey home. Ordered bacon rolls, pancakes and milkshakes. Took a while to arrive and people who arrived after us were served first. Bacon roll was ok, pancakes were very disappointing. It was a stack of dough, completely inedible. Tasted sour. The banana on the side was black and the icecream portion was less than half scoop. It was all left uneaten. No care or attention given to the fact the food was not cooked or black banana. The milk shakes were very mild in taste. One Salted caramel and one Strawberry. Tasted the same on both almost no flavour just milk. My son said the best bit was his marshmallows on top! All in all I was very disappointed and we will not be returning. A very expensive error for me.

Lee and George were brilliant and made sure we were looked after. We had the bottomless afternoon tea and it was delicious! Not your typical afternoon tea as they had pastries and quiche as well as sandwiches. The Prosecco was left with us so we could top up as much as we liked throughout our 90 minutes (we weren’t rushed out at the end). Could also have tea alongside it if we wanted. We both really enjoyed it and would go back! Would definitely recommend booking in advance especially for weekends. Gave 4 stars for atmosphere as it was a bit cramped!

Great brunch with attentive stuff and great food! I had the pancakes with a side of bacon and a poached egg which were all cooked very well. Would recommend!

Ordered chai latte and pancakes. The chai latte was literally warm water with a bit of ginger and probably a drop of milk in it. The pancakes were disappointing and not properly cooked as well. The maple syrup tasted like it had been watered down or something. Basically not real flavour in anything. This experience reminded me why I don't go to the pudding pantry and don't understand the hype.

The best pancakes i have ever had. Randomly decided to get breakfast here on our trip in Nottingham and it did not disappoint. The portions were massive and it was delicious. The balance of sweetness and saltiness was perfect. Definitely worth a visit for every occasion in Nottingham, planning a visit to Nottingham just to eat here again.

We visited the Pudding Pantry 22/01, after searching for the best pancakes around. We were not disappointed! I had the bakewell Pancake stack and my husband had cooked breakfast with pancakes on the side! Mine was 4 pancakes, real whipped cream, berry compot with flacked almonds, to top it of a bakewell slice cut in to 4 surrounding the tower of deliciousness. Both of us loved our choices, very tasty and perfectly fluffy pancakes. Portions were epic and very reasonably priced. Loose tea and good coffee. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Playing great music quitley in the background. Very quite, other than a the odd other customer, but it was 9.30 on a Monday morning. We were on a weekend visit to Nottingham and this was a wonderful to end our little stay. We will be returning!!

One of the best breakfasts out, if not the best. Everything is delicious and the standard size breakfast is ample - pancakes make it extra filling too.

A little disappointed, my daughter was really excited for the pancakes, but neither of us were impressed. The pancakes has no flavour at all and they were so doughy in the middle, I'd say they were undercooked. I did mention it but they said next time i can request them to be cooked for longer, definitely not the light fluffy pancakes we were expecting. The golden syrup wasn't very nice either.

Brilliant breakfast and absolutely fantastic cheese cake! Recommended!

Great little pudding and milkshake shop, part of a independent owned local chain. The staff were super friendly. I came in with my 7 year old to treat him to a milkshake for working so hard on his exams, the staff made him feel special and gave him the best looking milkshake I’ve ever seen. He thoroughly enjoyed it!

Excellent food and service. We had Sunday brunch. Generous portions and pretty reasonably priced. It was busy so we had to wait for a table but worth it.

Great Breakfast! Great Food! Great Drink! Highly recommended! I will come back!!!

High quality food and drink for all dietary requirements.

My partner and myself fell lucky finding this place while staying in Nottingham in November. Such a lovely, welcoming cafe and the staff couldn’t do enough. I didn’t know what I fancied so the male waiter very kindly made me a dish with a combination of items. Food was lovely and you can’t go wrong with their hot chocolates, I just wish we had more room for dessert.

Amazing pancakes! Pancakes are really big portions. I particularly liked the apple crumble pancakes. Only 4 stars as the custard that came with it was lumpy, pancakes were lovely.

Not very impressed, ordered three hot chocolates with friends and all three were stone cold. We asked to have them hotter and they came out lukewarm again. By that point we were past wanting the hot chocolates. Not great considering the prices.

Fantastic breakfast. Great service too. Would definitely recommend it 🙂👍

This is a lovely little cafe where we had the best brunch we've had in a long time. Scrummy pancakes with a full English, all done really well. The staff we're lovely too

Yet another place penalising people who don't do dairy. It's the cost, apparently. Nope. It's discrimination. Went to Nero over the road where they don't insult their customers' intelligence. Not good for vegans, despite the vegan breakfast. They just want your money.

This was my first visit and someone who loves to eat sweet things with a nice cup of tea I was sadly disappointed with the quality of the cakes and even more disappointed with the quantity of tea, it was the smallest cup of tea I have seen in yonks. I didn’t really feel I could complain because the waitress looked like she had already had a pretty bad day and I simply didn’t want to add to her sultry drama. II was really not impressed although sometime in the future I will probably give it another try and see if the waiting staff have improved their service and if I get a bit more water in my tea cup.

Have been twice ..first time excellent but 2nd time pancakes were very salty and very stoggy..like raw dough..maybe new chef but not very nice

We wanted tea and cake and as were passing we looked in, to see it was not very busy. Usually we have to give it a pass as it is very popular. We went in and asked if they had Glutten Free cakes. We were shown a few options so we stayed. After sitting at a table the server appeared and left us a menu. She didn't ask us if we were ready to order, which we were, and left to return to the till area. After waiting a little to long I went to the till to order. Decaf tea and soya milk, no soya milk option so had to settle for oat milk. Not a great loss. I had Earl Grey. With a little milk. We had a piece of Victoria sponge covered in icing. When we were served it was nice to see the staff are aware that when the tea has reach the required strength you have to stop the mash by removing the tea. For which a saucer was provided. Our tea was very nice Christine ate half the cake and left me to finish it off. The cake and buttercream was very nice but I am not a big fan of icing so that took the edge off a little. Also, I guess I am in a minority, I like to be able to hear the person I am with talk to me and not try to lipread because of the level of music. All in all a nice experience and I will certainly go back, if we can get in.

Had the breakfast which had really high quality ingredients and came with 2 fluffy pancakes and maple syrup. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, very efficient service and a lovely atmosphere, full of beautiful fairy lights. Definitely recommend this little gem.

Great find right in the city centre perfect for brunch with heaps of choice. The pancakes are incredible and so are the staff! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Nottingham.

Decided not to eat there because the staff was a bit rude and not welcoming. I therefore can not judge the food (hence the 4 stars).

What a wonderful place. Great food, staff and very cool customers!! Place to be for brunch in Nottingham!! ❤️

The Pudding Pantry is a real gem. Everytime I visit I am reminded why I love it so much. The afternoon tea is delicious and their vegan and vegetarian options are miles better than other places. It is also a great experience with children. Then there are the staff, the friendliest team, who are attentive and accommodating no matter how busy they are. I cannot recommend the Pudding Pantry highly enough.

We really enjoyed our visit all staff was great and friendly. Food was amazing and catered for my son who is living with autism . Highly recommend.
