The Rutland Cottage in Erewash

A proper pub of the rustic type. Staff fantastic , food good and reasonably priced, a great selection of beers on.

Always good cheers Emma & Laura 😊

Ilkeston Terrible food and miserable server 961585985 Came up to visit my friend and as always we visit the pub with other friends. The food is usually quite good so when I saw new menu I was pleased. We bothe had mushrooms in a two cheese sauce with garlic bread and chips and our friends had pie and the othe chicken tikka. Our mushrooms came in a sauce that resembled milk where the chews was I don’t know it was bland and whin I tasted the tikka it was awful. The girl who served us had a face like a smacked bottom and wasn’t at all friendly. Won’t be going back there next time I visit. A real disappointment If you are a EU resident and you would like to appeal our decision, click here You can review your appeal options here

Loved it here yesterday with my mates Tuesday are the best

Always excellent food and great service

Excellent pint of pedigree. Nice and cosy pub.

Food always piping hot and plenty of it. Friendly and helpful staff, can eat indoors or in the beer garden. Plenty of parking.

Verey enjoyable been to day. Cannot fault service or food will definitely recommend to my friends

I always enjoy visiting the Rutland. Lovely food and friendly staff.

Sunday lunches are amazing it’s hard to find a good roast instead of awful carveries. The roast potatoes are some of the best we’ve ever had and we have tried lots of places. A big thumbs up 👍

Great food and service, good prices and short waiting times

Called in for lunch with the wife after shopping. The food was excellent. Very swift good service. Fish platter with Scampi and Calamari. How can they provide such a feast for the price I do not know. We will be back for more.

just been for Christmas Dinner and it was fabulous. perfect cooked meal all the trimmings great service and a banging atmosphere would highly recommend this place 👌 👍

Fantastic service friendly staff food excellent

Awful, someone vaping at the bar, disgusting, also tha attitude of some locals was very concerning. Definitely will not be visiting again.

Nice place great food and good service could do with an updated decor wise but we like coming here

Wednesday night bingo Friendly and a good laugh Very welcoming

Has a roast beef dinner.food was nice but barely warm.staff were friendly

The food was very nice , and the staff were amazing

Just the kind of pub we were looking for. Delicious Sunday dinner, with real meat juice gravy. An inexpensive treat for the family, with a wide choice of food. Will be back, as there are 3 more meals we fancy.

Great beer garden, delicious varied menu. Could have a better draft choice (more stouts/porters), but otherwise its a great place.

The food was really good and the staff were really friendly and helpful, but the pub needs some decorating to be done.

Delicious impromptu meal with friends.

Good quality cooked food, only downfall would be preder homemade chips instead of frozen generic ones, like previously done.

Bang average food for the price. Whole place needs a update to be honest.

Nice, friendly staff and excellent food. I had the mushroom and Stilton melt and it was delicious.

Food fantastic, reasonably priced, service brilliant. Booked for mothers day.

Great meal and fantastic range of beers

Went for Christmas lunch was very nice staff very helpful and accommodating

Had a lovely meal and a nice pint with the family on Saturday. Highly recommend for food and drink.

Very friendly staff and the food was lovely.

Friendly staff and friendly atmosphere

Great service and food was just delicious - good to see it back to its infamous good quality! Will be back (soon!) 😊

Sunday meal for 7 people, excellent service and good food. Fair prices. Very pleasant, would definitely return.

Rightmove removals.co.uk had a Christmas meal for the staff at this local venue. Great service just like us at rightmove removals, Good choice Reasonable prices Well trained staff Thank you for a pleasant evening

OMG what wonderful food! We were just passing through and stopped off on a whim, so glad we did. Both of us had fish dishes and they were cooked to perfection. Lots of choice for food and for children and prices are very good too. Staff super friendly. *****

Excellent meal at good prices, our party enjoyed ourselves.

We always enjoy our meals there, it's usually pretty quiet, the food is nice, prices are very reasonable and we just enjoy the atmosphere and interior :)

Very friendly staff and very good food.

Nice selection of beers and spirits, good food

What a gem of a place. Friendly staff. Food was excellent and I mean excellent. Ten out of ten from us!

Nice staff very helpful lovely pub

Relaxing , both indoor & garden dining, nice food, nice staff, 👌 no negatives to report.

Nice place, relaxing. Bar staff could be more alert to customers waiting to be served. Will improve

Great real ale, very friendly welcome and fantastic honest home made food

Beers very good staff excellent but nobody in not a good night sorry Rutland cottage

Nice pub for an afternoon drink.

Nice pub on Heanor Road, serving good food and drinks. Decent beer garden.

Quieter than I would expect for a Sunday lunch time, but still a decent atmosphere, and decent beer too. Not overly expensive too. I'm not sure why, but this place doesn't seem as popular as it uses to, and I can't really tell why. Staff was friendly though which improves the visit.

Great food reasonably priced. Service great and friendly people

Lovely good old fashioned pub very friendly & food great

Been twice now with my wife and kids and can't wait to go again. Food is superb with loads of choice and you get alot for your money. Servers are really friendly and attentive. Parking available, good choice of drinks, family friendly and I would would highly recommend.

Very welcoming & friendly service, & lovely food. Definitely coming back!

Went there to eat food was lovely look forward to going back

Plenty of parking. Good local pub. Friendly staff. Will return to try the food.

Great food and nice place 2 eat in very clean 2 I will again and recommend this place to my friends

This comment is only on the chips was nice

Always a warm welcome from the staff, nice food and well kept beers

Very cozy pub, friendly and helpful bar staff. We had a combo sharing platter and a main meal each, my main was the Blade of beef and was very comforting and tasty and my partner had the Salmon with New potatoes and mixed salad which was fresh and refreshing. The price was fantastic value and we will be definitely visiting again.

Many great memories here as a kid in the family room at the back. Unfortunately like most pubs all the kids entertainment has all gone and even the family room. That said it's a beautiful traditional pub with all the traditional features. Had a Sunday lunch staff where great really friendly and helpful. Food wasn't to my taste , beers where great

I have enjoyed several good meals here and can recommend the food. They always have a choice of real ales . Sunday lunch is especially good at a reasonable price of £8.50 with a selection of puddings and ice cream. The restaurant at the back is unusual for it has plates of the old local coal pits. Dating back years. A must see when your in the area of Shipley,near Ilkeston.

Always value for money food, alongside real ale, wine, cider, soft drinks and/or, tea and coffee. Good garden area. 👍 Update Feb 2022 First time back since lockdown 2020, due to my wife's vulnerable health. The only thing that has changed is the menu, just the same value as before and staff are just as layed back and freindly. Neither of us are vegetarian but we had the, Mushrooms in Stilton sauce with Garlic ciabatta dressed salad and chips, 👌 absolutely delicious and flavourful. A must for something different. There is a reasonable sized car park accessed down the side of the pub, if your driving..

Friendly local pub, pleasant surroundings can't wait to try the carvery

Great place to visit for a drink, staff are friendly and has great atmosphere

Staff really nice, toilets clean. I would call again.

Standard pub with food but a bit pricey

Nice place just a bit too pricey for what it is

Really friendly pub bar staff on the ball and always smiling. it's a really friendly place to go with the all the family including our fury best friends to relax have a drink and a great day/night and a awesome meal it's so good my dog asked me to go regularly it's a must try it out

Went here with family. Decent meal at ok price but best cup of tea we have had all holiday! Menu was standard pub fare..

Friendly bar staff, guiness and dog friendly. Perfect.

Food very nice staff very friendly

My partner and I called in for a late lunch, I had cheese and onion pie, mashed potatoes, garden peas, my partner had beef and onion pie, both meals were excellent, as were the staff. The only downside was that there were a group of men drinking in the bar area using foul language. This was not the fault of the establishment, but this wasn't acceptable. This was our fourth visit, other visits were fine

Lovely pub for a relaxing pint or food and the staff are very welcoming and friendly

Food OK service very good especially with covid guidelines being observed. Not a very large selection on drinks but they do have the basics covered. Oh and they do not do cocktails!

Decent beer, good food and friendly staff. A1

Great Service and Food. Dog friendly too 😊

Good atmosphere but need to start serving food would keep people drinking longer and put outside covering and heaters.

It's our local & brilliant to be back again. Landlady & staff make it what it is. Marvellous!!

Brilliant service from 2 lovely ladies

We came for drinks and the service was terrible, it took 35 minutes to get served. The server seemed more bothered about vaping on the garden and talking to people she knew than serving. After asking multiple times, we asked the server about what certain drinks she had to which she replied ‘none really, only a couple’ to which she wouldn’t expand on

Really good food and very clean and covid safe in these difficult times

Nice beer, good service and I won on machine. Good result lol

The Staff are so nice they make you feel as though your family. So much care and consideration given in these times. Your in safe and brillant hands.

Nice classic local, good value good pub

Staff very helpful and friendly. Food was nice. Brilliant with covid restrictions. Felt very safe.

Had a great meal with the family the price was very good the food super and the staff amazing x well done sue x

Friendly staff and great food at reasonable prices.

Very nice people and very nice food

Excellent service, nice size beer garden..

Dog friendly pub, great staffalways greeted with a warm welcome great services

Very busy. But staff worked tirelessly to find a resolution to the menu options they had run out of. Cod instead of scampi with my steak was great.

Not been in ages..Rutland fish platter,and Surf n Turf.. excellent

Staff frendly. great place. food amazing

It is a lovely pub, lovely atmosphere. The food came out hot but there was no cutlery on the table when I asked staff for it they took it to a different table then I had to ask again.

Friendly local pub. Serves food but I didn't have a meal

Called in Monday evening to eat. I found the staff excellent, a great choice on the menu, fresh tasty food. And the bonus was the dog was also welcome 😊🌞 we know where we're going next time

Lovely pub, but sadly no longer a good food pub! Such a shame it’s gone downhill again. It used to be much much better home cooking. Hopefully will improve again soon!

Excellent pedigree,service and quality

Xmas Dinner not good had to wait 35 minutes between each course and some of the expected food was not there plus mash potatoes was lumpy not very good at all not return again

Beer cloudy, television too loud, then piped music turned up loudly. When asked to turn one off, girl behind bar said 'they'res always one' left after 1pint, never to return.
