The Restaurant At The Station Hotel in Broxtowe

After recently moving to Nottingham, this pizza place was recommended to me by a friend. After managing an independent store for 10 years, making fresh dough ever day knowing what I produce is some of the best dough about. The pizza I had from this place last night was absolutely out of this world. The dough really was sublime, the pizza itself was delicious and full of flavour. I have to say that was one of the best pizzas I've had the pleasure to eat in many many years if not the best. (Still yet to try a pizza from Italy) I will say. But honestly it was out of this world. Definitely found my new local. Well done to all involved.

This review is based on 3 separate visits to this location. Overall, the service has been good on every occasion, and the staff were attentive, however, they did look like their patience was wearing thin, and they looked tired towards the end of our visit as they were not as cheerful as when we initially went in. I really like pizza, and there of loads of independent pizza shops that make stunning pizza, much better than Pizza Express, but as we wanted a quick bite and this was the option around, we decided to go here. The food was only ok. We were warned on this occasion that there was a wait of about an hour on food which was fine with us, ended up being 1hr40mins. Expect delays every time, and be prepared to not have anyone check on you until after your food has arrived. This is a recurring theme of this restaurant. There was a loud, continuous sound, like a siren which was on throughout our visit, when I was talking, my wife asked me why i'm shouting, and it was because I couldn't hear myself think, I could not hear my wife across the table either. So, I decided to download a decibel meter app on my phone. The background noise of that droning siren was 74Db ... I couldn't hear the music over it. Finally, dessert. I wanted an ultimate choc cake, but as everything was so late, I ordered it to take away. No one told me there was a normal choc cake, which is not the ultimate choc cake! So when I got home, I got to look forward to a box of ultimate disappointment. The choc cake is like a slice of cheap supermarket cake for twice the price, just go to a supermarket and enjoy the whole cake for half the price. Also, I did try and take the best picture I could of the cake. Overall, extremely expensive, we did manage to get hold of staff when we needed them, the wait for food was too long, felt exhausted after my dining experience. Should've got a hotdog at Ikea! As an independent small shop owner myself, I get edgy if we haven't served a customer within 15mins of ordering, and will always serve something complimentary and personally apologise.

Went for a friends 30th birthday meal. The ciabatta balls weren't that's great if I'm honest. Don't agree with the enforced service fee neither.

Very nice food with a real Italian tastes and very friendly staff. I personally would love some nice music on the background but evrithing else it's lovely.

Lovely, cosy, and delightful...amazing food, will definitely be back. What a gem!
