The Radcliffe in Rushcliffe

Busy on Sundays but food and services were beyond reproach

Very nice village pub, with the open fire, rustic/modern feel and dog friendly. Just too bad I live too far away as this would make for the perfect local with great food and good selection of beer and wine.

Update: 19.01.25 60th birthday celebration 🎂! Mine, as it happens 👍😁. Food, again was very flavoursome. Portions were just right to leaving us feeling full. Roast pork, beef cheek pie. 2 x fishy starters, sticky toffee pudding (which my wife reckons is excellent) and parfait (everybody loves parfait!!!). Service is really good, and food came out quickly, but not rushed. The restaurant was busy but not too intrusive. All on all, a really nice meal and experience 😁👍. Summer 2023 The Pub / Restaurant was closed for a wedding event to which we'd been invited! Apparently, it was one of the first ones they've done!?! From start to finish, everything was excellent. Food. Can of peas (or is it canapés) were tasty and well presented. All main courses were visually attractive and tasty (Yes, I tasted my wife's, too). Same for the desserts. Drinks prices were not at a premium just because it was a function 👍😁. Finally, the staff. Quick, efficient, pleasant, and diligent. I was really impressed when waiting for a drink at the bar, a member of staff walked by, saw a couple of bits on the bar out of place and immediately tidied them. Really great day. Thanks to all involved.

Absolutely fantastic food,the service was very good too,100% we wood all go again

Not been before but will definitely be going back, very pleasant

Great pub, friendly staff, lovely Sunday dinner!

Very friendly staff and a comfortable table in a well decorated, warm room. Some of our food was very good but some was disappointing; good well cooked fish but very salty beef pie with rather a lot of unpleasant bits in the beef. Have been before and had a very good meal, this was a bit meh.

Much better than last time...plenty of space to just sit and have a drink now. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff...we'll worth visiting.

Thankyou guys for hosting our Company Christmas meal last night. Everyone enjoyed the food and excellent service. Merry Christmas on behalf of McCane Construction.

Conocí a mis amigos para nuestra reunión navideña. Pedí el sandwich de pavo. Estaba tan decepcionado cuando llegó. Dos enormes puertas de pan blanco seco con un poco de cohete unas rodajas de tienda compraron pavo y demasiado arándano. La mayor parte no era comestible. Luego tomé el pudín de Navidad. Que estaba tan seco y masticable que pedí más salsa... fue tan asqueroso que lo dejé... Una comida totalmente decepcionante por una cantidad extorsiva de dinero. No me molestaría.

Always very high quality food. The service is always good as well. Definitely high end pub/restaurant food.

Just been with family, amazing food and great staff, could not wish for more helpful and kind staff. Thank you all and happy Christmas to you all. Would certainly recommend this place

Fabulous ! Great food and service and busy, warm and inviting. Well done! We'll be back !9

Food and beer very good. Had to wait quite a while for the food though, on Sunday lunchtime

Nice food, friendly atmosphere.

On behalf of my Sister and I, thank you for the excellent buffet you provided for our Dad's wake yesterday. The food and ambience are highly recommended.

Had a great lunch therewith a friend and her two dogs. Tha staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was superb. Really enjoyed our time there.Thank you

Very average pub, fairly flat and unexciting menu that is very samey month to month

Nuestra experiencia en The Radcliffe fue nada menos que un desastre. Habíamos reservado una mesa para las 6 pm para celebrar el 80 cumpleaños de mi abuelo y llamamos más temprano en el día para modificar la reserva a las 7 pm. Al llegar a las 7 pm, la mujer en la puerta nos informó que no había registro de nuestra reserva. Pregunta incluso si ha sido un hombre quien ha confirmado el cambio, lo que suscita preocupación de inmediato. Luego observamos cómo ella caminaba hacia el bar y comenzó a discutir con otros dos miembros del personal sobre nuestra reserva. Se hizo evidente que nuestra mesa había sido regalada, y esencialmente defendimos lo que debía ser un evento significativo. Para empeorar las cosas, el ambiente interior era completamente inapropiado para tal ocasión. Hubo una fiesta grande y alborotada con cantos borrachos y caos en todo el restaurante. Esta iba a ser una velada especial para el 80 cumpleaños de mi abuelo, pero en cambio, nos quedamos afuera, decepcionados y avergonzados. La completa falta de profesionalidad y organización del personal arruinó la noche. Nunca recomendaría The Radcliffe a nadie, especialmente para ocasiones importantes. Mi abuelo quedó con el corazón roto, y todos estábamos profundamente decepcionados. Una experiencia absolutamente terrible.

Great Pizzas! Nice staff and selection of beers. Will be back, thanks.

This is primarily a restaurant. If you're an ale drinker you probably don't want to drink in here: Doombar, Pedigree, Harvest with Heiniken Neck Oil on keg. It's like going back in time 15 years. It's a bit of a shame as the food looked lovely, the pub is nice inside and the garden is great and very family friendly. Sells nice millionairres shortbread and rocky road. Scratchings were a disgrace. Cost me £30 for 4 pints, 1/2 of lemonade and 1/2 blackcurrant squash.

Lovely food and the atmosphere was lovely too it's a great place to have and walk from home.

A really nice pub. We had a blast. The only thing needing updating is the gents.

Very warm, friendly and attentive service with delicious food. Best place to eat in Radcliffe!

Excellent meal in lovely surroundings. Great for a special occasion. Well worth a visit.

Always excellent and plenty of gluten free options.

Fui al Take That Tribute hace dos días. Nos cobraron 20 libras cada uno por un billete que incluía una hamburguesa de ternera muy pequeña o hot dog. Una copa de vino costaba 14 libras y una botella costaría 37 libras. Huelga decir que no volveremos.

Wonderful food and perfect service. Great atmosphere. Loved it

Staff are pretty stuck up and rude, not sure why though? It's a village pub not the ritz 😂

Hermosa comida con un montón de opciones sin gluten. Excelente servicio y conocimientos y consejos dietéticos muy útiles. Las verduras eran abundantes y cocinadas a la perfección. El lomo de bacalao era suculento y bellamente escamoso, ¡justo como debería ser! El chef sin duda sabía lo que estaba haciendo y todos estábamos impresionados con nuestro almuerzo encantador. ¡Gracias a todos en The Radcliffe! 💐🌹

Lovely village pub with lots of outdoor space with a small kids park, the interior is gorgeous and the bar staff are very friendly, not to mention the place is very clean. The only issue I had with the place was it can be quite expensive. Highly recommended!

Really disappointing service at The Radcliffe. Having dined there 3 times now, I can clearly see how unwelcoming they are to new comers, particularly at the bar. Today they prioritised 5 regulars, even though I had been standing at the bar a number of minutes before they arrived and could clearly be seen by the bar staff. The regulars knew the bar staff by name. Nobody minds queuing your turn, but you expect it to be fair and having to wait until you are literally last, no matter what time you arrived at the bar, is rude. This is infact the second time this has happened to me at the bar. I doubt we will go back again.

Visiting from Toronto, we were greeted by Jam/Jamila with a lovely smile and personality. She gave us a British Pub experience that I longed for since I left Wolverhamton in 1977. Thank you Jam. Avtar.

Service was lovley honestly staff are so great absolutely no complaints on the front of house, but the food is not worth the money- £17 for a Caesar salad, leaves and chicken. Now I know I ordered a salad but for that price and quality stay at home.

We visited last night to take our grandson out for a steak meal as a treat. It was anything but, the three of us had steak, they were dreadful, fatty grizzle, thin and quite poorly cooked. For a bill of over £90 with bottled water it was an expensive meal that didn’t live up to expectations. A real shame. I left feeling hungry, I am pleased we had deserts at home.

Only called in for a drink. Good atmospher. Food looked good. Will go back.

V.good food 😋 not your run of the mill pub food

The Radcliffe is a good find for vegans. We have a separate menu making it easier to choose and the food is beautifully cooked. I had pearl barley risotto followed by ginger sponge pudding with rhubarb compote and ice cream. Absolutely yummy. I will be back. Service was friendly and welcoming.

241 pizzas delicious service was good very much enjoyed the food and the atmosphere

We enjoy greatly visiting The Radcliffe

Great food and great beer selection

Great food and amazing Staff as usual. Would highly recommend.

Steak was ok. Bit too much gristle for +£20. Service was excellent.

We were a party of 10 celebrating a "special" birthday. Two families from different parts of the country meeting midway. The booking was made over the phone and confirmed. Disappointingly when we arrived they had no trace of our booking. After 10 minutes they managed to accommodate us. Not very satisfactory. However food very good and service ok.

One of the best pubs we have been to in a while. Really friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious food, we would highly recommend

First visit and loved it, staff brilliant and the food was lovely

Such a wonderful environment. Stan was so lovely and his service was impeccable. Food was also wonderful as always. We will be back!

A large group of us went 23 Dec in the evening and most of us orded of the festive menue. I had duck Pate for starter and that was very nice. I had a turkey dinner, very nice and the turkey was soft and moist. The portion was not too big. It was table service and staff came round regularly asking if anyone would like drinks and clearing empty glasses and plates etc. Everyone in my group enjoyed their meal and there was colouring to occupie the children. The disbuld toilet is not a radar key one and is a baby changing room to. The disabled toilet was clean and smelled nice, there was even hand cream. I had to ask staff to sort the paper towl dispencer and they where very quick at sorting it. The pub is easy to get to by public transport, bus and train station not far from it; please be awear the train station is unmand and the last train back to Nottingham is 9pm; also be awar that the Radcliff villager bus stops running by 8pm from Radcliffe, you can catch the Mainline but but that quite a walk back into Radcliffe to get it. The pub is well worth a visit, it has a large carpark.

What a lovely morning with the family. Our grandkids loved meeting the brilliant Santa (Best one we’ve seen). He was lovely with the kids as were his elf helpers. The breakfast was both plentiful and delicious. Looking forward to another breakfast with Santa 🎅 next year.

Pizza,very nice add to the menu

Ordered the flat iron steak as part of the £39 two steaks and bottle of red wine. Advised that the steaks come pink which is exactly how we wanted them… unfortunately they were both cooked medium… only asked if everything was ok when we were finishing our meal. Nice fries! Wine was nice.

The restaurant bit was empty except for myself. Trying to get served was not as easy as I would expect. As I think they were understaffed. It was 5pm on a Thursday. The menu is generally excellent. But one of my dishes was somewhat mediocre on this occasion. Normally scrumptious and interesting. Disappointed. But will go again. As I believe generally they are much better than most other venues of this type

Gorgeous lamb ragù, gorgeous pork loin, gorgeous pizzas served by quick and cheerful staff. The hazelnut praline cheesecake was the best dessert I’ve had for years. We all loved the food!

Went here last Sunday for my partner's birthday as the reviews were fairly positive. The pub is a nice place and we were greeted at the door and shown to our table. We both decided on the beef Sunday lunch and my partner was indecisive on whether to have cauliflower cheese as a side dish and as I don't like cauliflower and the dish was for two people she decided against it. Obviously the waiter didn't listen as when our meal came out there was a side order of cauliflower cheese. It did look delicious so I told her not to return it. The Sunday roast looked lovely however the meat was very very pink and extremely chewy and not enjoyable at all. We chose the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream for dessert and it was really light and fluffy but the ice cream was obviously served using a tea spoon as it was a tiny amount so for almost £9 felt a little cheated. Overall it could and should have been so much better but left really disappointed especially as we had gone for my partner's birthday.

Went for dinner after school with my wife and our two young children. It was a delightful dining experience. We were well served by the staff there and the food really was very good. I had the lamb shoulder ragu and the meat was cooked to perfection and the pasta was beautifully al dente too. Thoroughly recommend.

The lunch was absolutely excellent and the staff where extremely friendly

Lovely place, really nice atmosphere, open kitchen. We arrived 15 mins before the kitchen was closing but were promptly seated & order taken. Food was great, staff friendly and helpful. If we’re in the area again we will definitely revisit!

Needs a good clean & tidy up slow...

Excellent place for a Sunday roast! We’ve been here 4 times for a roast so far and cannot fault the service and also quality of the food. Highly recommend for drinks too, with a very nice bar area and outside seating.

Very nice pub friendly staff and the food was lovely well recommend going if you are in the area.

Great menu had fish and chips they were cooked to perfection yummy there was a group of us everyone was more than delighted with there food great service and ambiance highly recommended

Sunday Lunch for a family reunion. Food fantastic and a wide choice. Would thoroughly recommend it 👌

Consistently excellent, highly recommend

A very nice Sunday lunch, but give the ice cream a miss, very expensive for 2 very small portions , certainly not value for money

Went for an adult birthday celebration. Good interior. Attitude of one member of staff left a lot to be desired. Possibly a manager. Fortunately serving staff were great and rescued the experience to some degree. Perhaps we went on a bad day having read other reviews. Mixed opinions from the party regarding the food. Not as relaxed as we had expected, but families with children would enjoy it as seems to be geared towards them.

I go here like all the time, With Family or Friends. It also has a Playground for Children and *Shhh at the Radcliffe there is a Secret path* I'm not telling where* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Feeling a bit mixed. Arrived to a lovely welcome and taken straight to our seats- good table. Waitress forgot to tell us about the dishes that weren’t available today - that’s always the one you want to order! First two courses were excellent. Absolutely delicious. Both my husband and myself were impressed Desert was a bit disappointing. The ‘chocolate brownie’ was just chocolate sponge cake. Extremely bland and unimaginative. When I explained to the waitress she jumped in and said ‘not the consistency and texture of a brownie’ so I clearly wasn’t the first person to comment but it was still on the menu! Hubby had the cheese platter. Pleasant but a tad over priced for what it was Twice hubby ordered pints of beer via the waitress. One pint took over 15 minutes to arrive. They weren’t particularly busy. Only had one waitress. Manageress was on the phone in a booth for over an hour when really she should have been on the floor helping. When the bill came, they’d ‘forgotten’ to remove the glass of wine that was changed so we were overcharged. My only other observations were that there was no paper in the ladies loo or soap in the dispenser. On a night when it wasn’t particularly busy this had clearly not been checked properly £125 for a meal for two people, in a pub, I would have expected more. Will we go back? Probably not. I expected more. Or am I expecting too much? Shame as the first two courses were delicious.

Very friendly staff and great food and service, really stylish and reliable. 👌 👍

Really lovely food and nice atmosphere

Great service and one of the best steaks I've had in a long time

My wife and I had muscles for starters and really enjoyed them. I had a Radcliffe burger and my wife the halloumi burger, we both expected something special for the price they charge but have had similar and better in other pubs for less. The service was very good.

We took a friend who has her 100 Birthday soon, the staff gave her a real welcome brilliant service . Thank you

Popped in for lunch on a rainy Tuesday wondering if we'd even get served as it was close to the end of lunchtime. We were greeted so warmly and genuinely, told there was no rush and shown to a seat. The service was exceptional as was the food - really recommend the truffle chips, absolutely divine! The sandwiches are delicious and very generously portioned.Can't wait for this to be my local for the next few months.

I came here as I love the railway pub (same chain), this did not disappoint. Food was great, service great - our waiter was nothing but polite. Would definitely recommend .

Cosy, smart, modern pub with great options for seating when having drinks. Nice atmosphere. Look forward to come for food oneday

Outstanding service and great food. Very welcoming. A bit disappointed that they charged £3.85 for a pint of soda water but otherwise excellent food. The steak was cooked to perfection. We felt very welcome

Always amazing first class service by all members of staff. A lovely atmosphere and decor and excellent food.

Great pub, gotta be the best in the village I’d say nowadays. Always busy, had great food, something for everyone. Great garden, always has been: the place is and has been amazing since the refurb! The real ale selection is a bit lacking but that’s not their main attraction, if you want that, go to other pubs in the village! Now for the star of the show: Lawrence! He’s great, and is an amazing waiter. He takes great care of you and his customer service is always on point.

Good enough service throughout (other than plates being cleared away whilst some were still eating!). Also check your bill, we had an extra drink on there. Food fairly imaginative but portions don't match the price. Ended up being quite an expensive meal for just a pub restaurant meal. The starters are extremely small. Didn't blow us away so probably wont be going again.

Sat outside on summer’s evening. Very - very - attentive staff, who were genuine and friendly, without tipping into irritating. Food was timely, well prepared and interesting. 5🌟

A classist environment. Avoid going if you don’t want to be subjected to feeling like an outcast. Will never return, needs a whole new team

Went with the family for a Sunday dinner. Had the roast beef which was melt in your mouth, roasties were also delicious. The roasted red onion was another nice touch.

Excellent food and lovely staff. Been a few times and it never fails to deliver such a positive experience.

Average food but seemed very expensive. Maybe we just chose badly.

Very good Sunday roast. I had the broccoli and Stilton bread pudding, one of the best vegetarian roast dinners I’ve ever had. Plenty of roast potatoes and vegetables. Definitely recommend. Very good customer service. Overall very god.

The pub has a decent sunny garden and good beer. Dogs welcome in the bar area too. Unfortunately I have to say the food has gone downhill since we first went here, and now I'm often disappointed by it.

Great selection of beers and wines. The food is always excellent as is the service. The Sunday lunch is as good as any pub in Nottingham. Fabulous beer garden in the Summer.

Lovely staff. Beautiful and relaxing place

Wanted a traditional Sunday roast on our journey to Nottingham and this didn’t disappoint. We easily booked on line and arrived to be greeted with a warm welcome. Menu choices were great and we opted for Hummus and bread to start followed by two of us opting for the roast beef and the other for the roast pork with a side of cauliflower cheese. The food was very tasty, lovely and hot and had plenty of gravy. Thoroughly enjoyable and possibly the best roast we have had in ages. The service was excellent and we will definitely return.

We were lucky to find The Radcliffe on our round trip through the country. The service was extremely friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Not the cheapest but worth every penny. We could not help but to eat there on the second day as well.

Very good service and food. No wonder it’s Nottinghamshire pub of the year (or at least was recently). So happy to have bought a flat nearby. We will be back-lots!

Wow the ales were lovely and well kept. The food superb thanks for a great evening 👍🏿 highly recommend the haddock and chips

Polite erudite staff, clean, tidy, good prices and comfortable. Spot on.

Nice atmosphere, good service, but £10 for a dessert wow!

Visited the Radcliffe for lunch on a busy Saturday. Service was fabulous and all of the staff were friendly and attentive. Food was great, we all enjoyed our choices. We will be back next time we are in the area!

Thank you for a great Sunday lunch today and thank you for being very accommodating with dogs. We all loved it and great service from front of house

Lovely food, great atmosphere and service will definitely be coming back.

A "cut above" pub! First class food and service. Carnivors and Vegans catered for. Ace in the hole...dog friendly.

Great food, great atmosphere , the croquette starters were absolutely divine!

Excellent lovely friendly pub 👍 the staff and locals were lovely and welcoming 🙏 we enjoyed a few lovely cold scoops 🍻🍷🍺👍10/10
