The Salutation in Rushcliffe

Recently refurbished and the new manager is working hard. Ideal for cyclists in need of a stop and even better if you find the garden at the back in the sun. Decent Theakston's beer

Took a detour to Keyworth while en route from Kent to Nottingham and stopped here for a light lunch. Good varied menu, reasonably priced and food was great. Staff were lovely and friendly.

Had a lovely lunch with a moreish pint of Guinness! Staff and service were excellent. Would highly recommend.

Had Sunday dinner today,very nice food and service,came with my sons

First visit for dining and it definitely won’t be the last. There was a wide choice of tapas dishes that were well presented & tasted delicious & service was excellent, quick and friendly despite being a busy Friday evening. Some live music outside too which created a great atmosphere. Overall great value for money & will definitely visit again.

Amazing country pub once again, serving excellent food, tapas was stunning cooked to perfection!looking forward to returning 😁😁😁

Such friendly staff and the Sunday roast was amazing. Such a big portion. You won't leave hungry!

Lovely country pub with a twist and good food and drink 😊

We have been dining at the Salutation to taste their tapas and Sunday roast. The place is very clean, welcoming and cosy. We could not have our meal outside because of the miserable ‘summer’ weather; that would have been very cool. Food was excellent; service courteous and efficient. Highly recommended; maybe one of the nicest roasts we had over the past few years.

Lovely decor, good atmosphere, good service, good food what's not to like.

Good atmosphere as our friends were there. Rude staff ,burnt cauliflower cheese which was cold ,lumpy gravy cold food . Disappointed overall experience it's our 3rd time never again

Our first Saturday morning breakfast at the salutation. Excellent food, fantastic service. Great value. Thank you Tracy and Paul and the team. X

Wonderful Place to eat. We had Tapas, very tasty👍🏻

Very enjoyable ploughman's for lunch and a nice pint of Harvest Pale. Good value for money

Had a great night with my parent, So pleased to find the old Salutation Inn to be doing such nice food again! Well done guys 👍

This is a great pub. Excellent food and drink and nice atmosphere. In a time where so many pubs are closing we need to give this place our patronage and keep it going!

Visited The Salutation on a number of occasions recently, really enjoy the evening tapas on offer and the nice range of wines. Visited recently on Wednesday evening and was looked after superbly by Abi and Steven. The pub has a really nice atmosphere, and a new beer garden that I need to visit soon - perhaps in the day to also sample their day time menu. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and atmosphere. They've just refurbished the beer garden ready for summer too.

I didn't eat or spend long there but I was lost with no phone battery and the staff were very accommodating, gave me a phone charger and a table with a plug and helped me when I needed it most. Much appreciated!

What a wonderful village pub. Fantastic food served by great staff great atmosphere can highly recommend first time yesterday will definitely be back.

Nicely refurbished place with food and parking. Located in nice part of Keyworth. Worth a look again.

We have tried the Tapas many times , the Sunday Lunch (one of the best pub roasts we have ever had) and the Breakfast on a Saturday which is unbeatable. Fantastic local pub , very nice surroundings and lovely staff.

I was in this incredibly beautiful Pub yesterday. Very nice service, beautiful decor and tasty beer! I can highly recommend this place and warm regards to the owners and fantastic service!

Lovely pub. Very nice service, I recommend!

Great tapas, good service and a nice friendly atmosphere!

This pub has nothing to fault. We feel its the best pub in the village. Fabulous food, great service, and wonderful atmosphere. We've now made it our weekly local, particularly as they love dogs! Try it for yourself, you'll not be disappointed.

The Best Roast Beef Dinner I have had in a very very long time excellently cooked fantastic service in a truly beautiful place. 10/10

Great atmosphere, fantastic service, tasty food, family friendly including dogs which suits us. Loved it and will be returning very soon. In our view, the best pub in Keyworth!

It’s an OK pub with OK food. Decent beer and ale.

Went here for a Sunday roast, food was lovely, looks like it has been recently renovated so atmosphere was nice, only down side was that the seating areas are very cramped but understand that this goes with the territory of a traditional pub.

Didn't eat but did have a few drinks. Nicely refurbished and quality pub now

First visit since the reopening. Fabulous place the decor is of a very high standard (even the toilets). Will certainly be making more regular visits. 5*+ 👍

Catching up with family visit. Love the new decor. Disappointed lunch time doesn’t accommodate tapas. Admittedly 20mins late for 2pm booking. However, not many in at the time. If you can’t cater, don’t accept the bookings. Felt rushed and not a “chilled” experience. Some food good, other over/under cooked (depending on thickness of main ingredient). Wud come back but at a different time.

I go to The Salutation quite often since they reopened. Best pub in keyworth by far. Never had any issues whilst in there. The tapas is tasty and there is plenty to choose from. Great selection of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. I’ve been for lunch a few times too. Also a very good menu with a selection of sandwiches, baguettes and hot meals. Drink prices are very reasonable too. A pint of Heineken silver is £4.70, which I would personally say is a good price. Very welcoming atmosphere with the staff always being friendly. Glad it’s round the corner from my house. Keyworth is very lucky to have a pub like it!

Didn't eat, but certainly would another time. Clean and welcoming, attentive staff, quirky old pub with different areas, but recently decorated to a high standard. Definitely worth another visit

Only a drink with family, very nice, only minor problem found, too many doors! Can't comment on food as drinks only, but will go back for a meal.

Food is terrific here. Whether Sunday lunch menu, evening tapas or day time .. cannot fault it.

Menu is now tapas. I have eaten there twice. As a vegetarian the choice is very limited. Food pretty tasteless. Second time we were seated by door to toilets so all evening there are people walking past, opening door, cold draught. Don't intend to eat there again. Bar area lovely for drinks, lovely atmosphere. Recommend drinks here.

We came for Sunday lunch, party of 16 friends and family for our sons Birthday party. Loved the decor, colours so tasteful, smaller bar meant more room. Particularly loved the open fire and cosy sitting areas. The food was delicious, such tender beef and vegetables just perfect, so much I had a takeaway too! Staff and service all very good. I would highly recommend !

Thank you Paul and Tracy for looking after us so well for my birthday Sunday lunch. From the moment we walked in we were looked after by attentive smiling staff who were very friendly. Please also give a big pat on the back to the chef. The roast dinner and vegetables were outstanding, along with the best ever victoria sponge cake that he made himself. Everyone is a real credit to all the hard work you've put in.

Absolutely gorgeous pub. Recently refurbished and they've done a fantastic job. Lovely seating areas, warm and welcoming. Great lunch menu that won't get you remortgaging to pay the bill! I definitely recommend the homemade fish fingers on bloomer. Freshly cooked with a light batter. Non of that greasy oily taste. Best I've had anywhere. With a generous amount of salad and crisps. Staff were friendly and helpful. Especially Tracy, she deserves 10 stars for helping us with my father in law. Excellent, highly recommend. Update ....The Sunday lunch is the best around. Eaten in most pubs and restaurants around this area and The Salutation beats them all. Wish I'd taken a photo to add to the review. The plate was brought out bursting to the brim with roast and mash potato, 3 large slices of the best beef I've had in a long time, a large Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, roasted parsnips and then a side dish of veg and cauliflower cheese that was included in the price! I highly recommend a trip here. One of the best value pubs around. Was good to see it busy today for Sunday lunch, which shows how good it is. I just need to try one of their tapas meals now.

Love the refurbished Sal! Was always the best local in Keyworth and the changes have kept much of the old Sal but improved it too. The new tapas menu is great pub grub. Welcome back The Sal!

Popped in on the spur of the moment Cristmas Eve afternoon for drinks, six of us with double pushchair and found the staff and landlord very friendly and accommodating although very busy we were shown to a table and really enjoyed our visit, great atmosphere and we will certainly be coming back to sample the food in the very near future 😀

Fantastic village pub with a great atmosphere, good food and always a friendly welcome from Tracy and Paul.

The landlord and landlady are absolute class. They go more than the extra mile to ensure you have a good night. We visited last night for a small Christmas night and when the food had ran out they ordered and delivered a curry for us to eat . Legends . Thanks for your hospitality

Came with a friend yesterday. Had a lovely couple of hours. Loved the decor, atmosphere, hosting, service and food was spot on for me.Thankyou.Only wish I hadn’t been driving so I could have had some wine. Next time .!

A very atmospheric place, beautiful! Delicious hot wine, I recommend it!

Just recently refurbed to a very lovely and high standard. Tried the ham, egg and chips for lunch with a lovely coffee, perfect and couldn’t fault. Wish I lived closer.

Wonderful food. Service was exceptional with friendly and polite staff. Will be booking another table soon.

Lovely little country pub we stumbled across! Beautiful and cosy interior, attentive as well as very friendly service and some tasty traditional pub food. We had the Ham, Egg and Chips as well as the Scampi and Chips which were both great! It’s nice that you can take your doggo as well! Very happy with our visit.

This country pub reopened and a great job on the decor and Paul and Tracy are lovely and the staff are on the ball where service is concerned. The lunch time menu is disappointing, mainly soup and sandwiches, it would be great to see more hot food, especially going into the winter months, portion sizes are small, so if you have a bigger appetite then consider this when ordering your food. I hear the Tapas on the evening menu is good, and we are already booked in to try this in December with visiting family.

Recently reopened after a refurbishment. New management have got the feel of the place spot on. Hope the food's the same standard when they start serving again next month

What a lovely village pub. Great décor, lovely staff and a fine selection of ale's.

Lovely evening spent in the newly refurbished Salutation. Really warm friendly welcome. Look forward to trying the food!

Recently refurbished, very sympathetically done out inside with a lovely atmosphere of a modern, yet traditional village pub. Great range on the bar including some nice real ales. Loved it!!

Recently reopened and what a fantastic job they’ve done. Friendly staff and a good selection of beers. Welcome back!!!!

Haven’t been here for a while, love what the new owners have done with the place :) Really friendly staff, top knotch 👌🍻

Good service good food friendly staff xx

Went here with friends and two young dogs we were made very welcome. We had the Sunday lunch which was lovely and not too expensive. We did the British pub quiz and even though we didn't win we all enjoyed it.will return again.

Had previously given a bad review, however this place has been turned around by Dobbo! Never seen anyone work so hard or do enough for us. And the food was brilliant, portion size was huge. Maybe too big we ended up leaving quite a lot. Will be visiting again soon.

Lovely service and fantastic food and took Bob from me :)

very quaint village pub full of character and a homely feeling

Always a excellent welcome, great village pub, lovely staff, excellent food.

So cozy,great food,amazing service and made so many memories here!Great Place!

Frindy helpful staff and good food.

Very friendly.. And some great live music

Very nice & clean place, staff were excellent, smoking aria was warm 🙂, food was hot and tasty, beers were cold and glasses were clean. Have tried about 15 pubs in the aria and this one was one of the best. Keep up the good work!

Visited the Sal for lunch today with my wife and my mother. Couldn't fault the food or the service it was fantastic. Will definitely return.

Just been in for a late breakfast, lovely food, low prices and 1st class service, will definitely be back 😋 xxx

Good food, very welcoming and friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

What a shame my memory of the 'Sally' was ruined. What had been a busy,vibrant,pub restaurant is no more. Perhaps in hindsight l should have checked but didn't! It's definitely just a 'Pub' now, the bar staff was pleasant,but the food only passable. Perhaps ownership and direction has changed,l hope its not a reflection on the ravages of the Pandemic. I grew up in Keyworth,had my first pint in the pub,and enjoyed eating there in the past. As they say,time waits for no man,l won't be back. Good luck to the management going forward.

Lovely evening with family. Very well looked after, fantastic food, great value and great staff! Thank you! X

The three of us were treated to exemplary service by Kenneth, whose enthusiasm knows no bounds. Warm, sincere and friendly. Could not do enough for us. Food was good and hot and cheap as mains are half price Mon till Thursday.

Visited on a Friday afternoon for food and drinks. Service was friendly, polite and very quick! Beer was tasty and perfectly served. Food was value for money, well cooked and delicious. Would definitely visit again!

We had a lovely evening in the Salutation. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful and the food was enjoyed by everyone. The food was piping hot and I personally had the burger which was as tasty as any burger I’ve ever had. If you are looking for a friendly place to eat and somewhere that you are made to feel very welcome, then look no further. We are really looking forward to returning soon.

Went for a meal this evening with my son. Great service and great food. Excellent wings to start with. I had the scampi and chips and my son had the hunters chicken. Food was really fresh, lovely and crispy chips. Went home stuffed and very happy. Well done.

We enjoyed the Thai red vegetable curry yesterday evening. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Visited on the Bank Holiday for a celebration meal. Food was lovely - well cooked, piping hot and very tasty. I had steak which was cooked exactly as asked for and hubby had a fish platter. Plenty of food, nice atmosphere, clean and safe. Definitely coming back again soon.

We booked a table, no staff to be seen when we arrived and then once finally told which table to sit at still took ages to even be given a menu, despite the fact that the pub was half empty except for some rowdy drinkers all wandering around without makes. . The staff were lovely when they actually came to the table but none of them were wearing masks. Food was very average. The only bitter available was John Smiths which is woeful. Felt very unsafe and won’t be returning.

My partner and myself called in for a drink in the evening, as we walked in we were ‘greeted’ by someone, not wearing a mask, I was talking to someone I knew and lowered my mask to be abruptly chastised. We were then showed to a table which had Qcodes on them, these didn’t work and when I went to the bar, wearing my mask was rudely told to go and sit down! There were people playing bar billiards, standing and walking around without a mask! When I pointed out the Qcodes weren’t recognised a sheet of paper was brought over and our names were added to a very short list considering the people in the bar. Service was not very good either and we should have walked out but didn’t. When we did leave we followed the arrows only to be told we were going the wrong way and we couldn’t leave by that door! Suffice to say I will not be returning to this establishment, they do not deserve to have my money or custom. This is sad because over the 58 years I have been around this village I have used the Sal a lot.

Been going to the Sal for years. Last visit was poor though with very poor beer. Most ales were not available and of the few that were, the first pint was poor but just acceptable, certainly not worth a second though. For the second I tried something different but both me and my fired found it tasted bad with chemical flavour. Sent the pint back (rare that I have ever done that!) and had a soft drink as replacement. Used to serve good beers - what happened?

My visit to the sal, was better than expected, recently I have frequented with little satisfaction; however, the guy with the sal T-shirt behind the bar, was very lovely and seemed enthusiastic about pulling pints and serving with a smile. Because of the great customer service, I will definelty visit again, especially if the mysterious bartender in the sal shirt is there.

Visited on a midweek evening for a meal and couple of drinks. Service was fine but the food (specifically the 'Hunter's Chicken') was less than: a flat piece of chicken breast with a topping that must have been produced in a lab. Topped off with oven chips and corn on the cob that was cold on one side. Clearly all bought in and re heated. What a shame because I really want to support my local - it will be drinks only next time I'm afraid. Sorry.

I’ve been coming here for years. The beer has never been as bad as it is now. They have some lovely real ales on tap but they taste awful and I think it’s because the pipes haven’t been cleaned properly. Several of us have told the managers but they don’t seem to care. After all all they need to do is to make money for the brewery

Food was fine but won't be returning due to the very long wait for it to arrive, poor communication and rude and abrupt customer service from the manager.

I've just tried one of the four new pie, flavoured mash and gravy options and it was very good and interestingly different. I’m looking forward to trying the other options.

We've been going to the Sal for Christmas day for over a decade, we are very loyal to the pub and don't like to put it down, but this years Christmas day lunch was just terrible.There was no greeting of "Merry Christmas" when we arrived. No festive atmosphere at all. The food was dire. Really, really dire. Those of us that had beef were served with a piece of fat on a bone. The veg was cold and bland. The Christmas pudding was inedible. We complained and the bill was reduced. We were all so disappointed. I know errors can be made and sometimes the food that comes out isn't always up to scratch, but on Christmas day there's no excuse for it. On Christmas day we pay a premium price and expect a premium service. That means checking that the food that is served is warm and fit for consumption. That means being attentive and welcoming to the customer. You should not be getting this wrong on the biggest day of the year. As I said, we've been going to the Sal for over a decade for Christmas and other important occasions with friends and family, but we will be going elsewhere next year.

Took my dad and the grandchildren for lunch last week. Food was tasty and good value, service was good.

Called into The Salutation for lunch with my daughter. I had the fish and chips with mushy peas and my daughter had the lasagne. Both meals were excellent. Great staff and brilliant service. Will definitely be back

Friendly staff on a Thursday night (Jen, Abi And Harry the chef). Knowledgeable about their speciality Beers and very accomodating of Vegetarian demands - Veggie sausages were great. Cheers!

We used to eat and drink at this establishment for many years under the ownership of the previous manager, but under new management and a refurb allthough looking very nice we found that their ideas towards hygiene differed from ours, I did give them chance to explain the issue but was met with an attitude.

We’ve lived in Keyworth for 30-years and visited the Salutation regularly, but tonight we decidedto we just didn’t want to cook tonight so headed to the pub. We were greeted with a smile and a few surley jokes (we shared the same sense of humour) by Jen and ordered our drinks and food. Neither of us fancied a full meal to we opted for the sharing platter and Jen advised us there may be a wait as a party of seven had just ordered food. No problem; we weren’t in a hurry and she was attentive and spotted when our drinks needed refreshing.The food arrived in good time and we polished it all off. Not ‘cordon bleu’ but great snacky food. Jen made the evening for us with great service and good humour and we didn’t have any washing up to do!

I have been going for Sunday lunch for the last 9 months every alternate Sunday and I have never has poor service or a poo meal, in fact the food tastes like a really good home cooked meal, meat and vegetables are great quality and if you have not tried the food it really is worth a visit, you will not be disappointed.

Presented with uncooked fish we were treated like we were at fault.

I decided after reviewing all the pubs in keyworth that this was the right one ,i have dined here before with friends and mum the service and food as always been good .The land lord & lady are very friendly .Sadly mum passed away ,the funeral was Monday 13th November 2017. Al l can say is ,Thank you to all the staff and management .An Excellent Job and very accommodating and attentive ,the buffet was Fabulous ,,I would highly recommend a trip to the Salutation for a meal or a drink ,

We visited here on 17th January and had a meal to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was served quickly and was presented well. My lasagne was yummy, as was the food eaten by the rest of the family. I would recommend a visit to this village pub. A bonus for us,is that it's a dog friendly pub, so hopefully we will be returning soon with our furry friend

I've been here three times now, and in all cases the experience has been perfectly pleasant. It serves a reasonable range of bitters, including Landlord (at the time of writing), so that's a bonus. I had a bit of food (soup) and it was fine, nothing to write home about but perfectly passable.

We visited The Salutation on Friday afternoon. The welcome was warm and friendly and there was a nice atmosphere. we noticed quite a few people were eating so we had a look at the menu. We ordered cheese toasties and they arrived nicely presented with a bowl of chunky chips. The food was hot and very good. My husband was particularly impressed by the range of real ales on offer and he very much enjoyed the beers he ordered. The Chardonnay that I had was also very good.

The above review title sums up exactly the experience at the Salutation.

There's nothing unusual or flashy at the Salutation, but the meals are well cooked, there's a good choice on the standard menu and the staff are polite and professional. I expect to continue using it on a semi regular basis for the future.
