Stopped for an early dinner and a couple of drinks - large pub, plenty of parking, very friendly staff and plenty of people enjoying themselves. I had gammon and chips and my mother had scampi. I would eat here again if up in Nottingham.

We stopped here for breakfast with santa. Wow! The experience was amazing! They had a full disco with santa and an elf, kept my child entertained throughout our time there. The breakfast served was way better than expected. Fully loaded plate for adults and half sized for kids! The staff were all very friendly and nothing seemed too much for them! Definitely be returning on our next trip.

They did not want to seat us, they then proceeded to put hands on my female friend because she could not hear what the lady mumbled underneath her voice, she also said there was no seating outside for us when there clearly was and then decided that none of us were allowed to eat at the pub and told us to go home. Something I did not expect to face in today’s world. I’m truly disappointed with this service.

La comida es muy buena, tuve el pan de ajo varias veces cursi como un tentempié cuando aparece por una pinta, calidad fabulosa. Los platos principales y diferentes que he tenido han sido de un alto nivel. A menudo diferentes tipos de entretenimiento por las noches diferentes de noches de póquer a un concurso, pero estos no incomodar si fuimos sólo para una comida o una bebida. Una pequeña cosita que puede ser molesto es que hay a menudo sólo una chica que trabajaba en el bar, así que el servicio puede ser un poco lento a veces lleno. Pero aparte de eso, es un lugar estupendo para comer y beber en una atmósfera muy amable

El lugar estaba lleno cuando llegamos a ^ h sábados, que le dice que debe de ser bueno para empezar. Un entorno agradable y el personal era muy amable y servicial. El arranque fue bien, mi sopa estaba buena, pero mis socios me pareció caro para lo que ofrecían (había hongos con salsa). Luego los dos nos tomamos un bistec. Estaba bien aunque la mía tenía demasiado cartílago, pero aún así estaba bien. Supongo que en otra noche me perfecto. Le daría otra oportunidad.

Gran pub, bien decoradas, limpias y bien mantenidas, con madera muy caliente fuegos. Sin embargo, la comida era de calidad normal en el mejor de los casos, pub tardaron bastante tiempo para venir y cuando llegó era un poco decepcionante. Tuve la línea de pescado que pueden haber sido capturados, pero era de línea una consistencia seca triturada, y tenía demasiado grasienta empanada que cubren. Mi esposa la hamburguesa que estaba bien. Tanto las bebidas y la comida eran caros, especialmente dada la calidad de la comida. Un local que tenía demasiado para beber incluso dirigido a tirar y me impactó en la cabeza con un tapete de cerveza como el comida llegó

Reservamos una mesa para 13 personas a las 4 de la tarde los domingos, no era problema para ellos organizar. Hacen un almuerzo de domingo, que es la cena con asado. Usted puede elegir 1, 2 o 3 campos, todo a un precio razonable (7 libras. 49 o £9. 49 por 1 o 2 campos) también hay un extenso menú si no quieres asado. Todos tuvimos asado, incluyendo nuestro gluten amigos gratis! (tienen un menú diferente para novia si lo pides). La comida era deliciosa y abundante. El personal era muy servicial y educado. Sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré pronto.

I came here yesterday with a few friends. We only came as it was conveniently close and we didn't want to travel. We had been before, and on a Sunday for a Sunday meal. We didn't have a great experience then. But we gave it one more try. By God, I'm glad we did. Superb it was. I had a beef dinner, and it was so flavoursome. The roast potatoes and parsnips were so fluffy, crispy, and had plenty of taste. Not bland and black like the previous time I came. Everything on the plate was beautiful. The only thing I would suggest is maybe making your own Yorkshire puddings? The service has improved too, the man behind the bar with glasses was friendly and efficient and welcoming. The young lady who served our food was friendly and attentive. On this occasion, I cannot point out a bad fault. I hope I can say the same when I return. I can still taste the beautiful tasty beef.

My Dad loves 'proper' pubs and this excels. Having only just found this gem, myself/Dad have been twice in the last month and cannot rate it highly enough. The food is excellent (certainly beyond pub grub), the staff are welcoming and engaging and the atmosphere is homely and vibrant. I cannot recommend this place enough and it is always busy meaning others must feel the same way. Thanks to the staff, particularly Lorna and John. We'll be back soon

El más pequeño, y me refiero a la porción más pequeña de pescado que he visto en una comida para llevar, sin excepción. Ni siquiera hubiera sido suficiente para mis 7 años. Las patatas fritas estaban bien. Sabor promedio. Definitivamente no molestará de nuevo.

Booked for lunch for 2 and was surprised when entering a seemingly deserted place (no customers). Shown to the table of our choice. I ordered pulled pork terrine with onion relish and sourdough toast - absolutely delicious (might have preferred thinner slices of toast). For the main I ordered beer battered cod sandwich with fries and a portion of curry sauce. Fries were excellent, as was the cod sandwich (comprised of 2 cod pieces in batter with mayonnaise and a bed of minted peas all in a brioche bun). Too much to eat but excellent cooking.
