The Shepherds in Rushcliffe

First time visiting for Sunday Lunch. Very helpful staff as our booking couldn't be found..... The carvery was excellent very tasty, only fault I can say is the mash potatoes were a bit to sloppy other than that loved it

Inside the pub is really nice well spaced tables, quick bar service. We all had the cavery and it was hit and miss, the beef was lovely turkey was dry, sprouts were hard and sweet, carrots were mushy, peas like bullets. Gravy was nice., stuffing was very dry and the roast potatoes were hard like rocks. The condiment area was a mess and not at all appetising so I skipped it

Excellent service from the time we entered until the time we left. Was greeted very politely. The food was excellent and the pub was very clean.

Really friendly staff. The beer was well kept and reasonable price. Carvery was excellent value. Other food also looked good.

We stayed at a camp site just up the road . came here for dinner . the beer was good ..My food was under cooked and very strange ingredient's for a Calzone .. My wifes carvery was ok tho..

Excellent carvery and good value.

Staff and service was of a high standard

Wasn't overly great for the carvery. They have put the price up on it, and for a small you only get one meat. The roast potatoes were chewy, stuffing was hard. Considering suppose to be festive carvery, there was no parsnips and never got asked if we wanted pigs in blankets. We won't be going here again, we usually go to either Riverside farmhouse inn on Queens dr or farmhouse inn in Peterborough, They have really large selection for carvery, for small you can have choice of all 3 meats, the roasties are better as well as stuffing and for same price. Plus the farmhouse inns have a variety of fresh cakes to choose from for desert. If I was you Id only go as last resort

Very nice carvery highly recommend.

Very pleasant and dog freindly.

Visited this Stonehouse on my trip to Nottingham and It did not disappoint. Had the battered garlic mushrooms for starter which were absolutely delicious and then to follow with a Hawaiian pizza which also was amazing. Staff were friendly, helpful and sociable. I would definitely visit again.

Staying at the Camping and Caravan site just around the corner. A late lunch on Friday was great. But, the breakfast was truly amazing. Great pub with a super range of drinks. I’m sure when we are back at this site we will be back

Nipped over from the Nottingham Camp site for tea, walking in, you could see there were only a dozen or so people in the bar. Saying that the service at the bar was very slow, there was only one person serving, and he did say he would be with us soon. We chose the Carvery for tea, the chef was great and very helpful. Beef, pork, and ham with all the trimmings. It was really nice, but a little stingy on the meat and could have been a little bit warmer.

Nice and relaxing. Nice food and value for money.

A nice pub with friendly staff good price food and drinks close to the camping and caravan club site and country park walking 👍

Great place to eat and drink. Recommended!

Amazing experience here loved the food and drinks me and my family always have a laugh with the staff

Food was a solid 9/10, had the carvery and we really enjoyed it but the service was just slow. Some waiters looked much more lively than others so service seemed inconsistent. We were forgotten about and our desert didn't come out until we had to ask for it. I'm not sure if they had just been understaffed on that particular night, which is perfectly understandable but it did put me off returning again...

I love it here! it is amazing. The food is spot on. Absolutely gorgeous.

Busy, run of the mill food. It was nice. The children enjoyed their meals.

Never disapoints always helpful and friendly.

Just celebrated a family member s 60th Birthday with family and friends. The staff were amazing, they couldn't do enough, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone enjoyed the food too. Just wanted to say a big thank you to the staff for a lovely enjoyable evening

Excellent updated menu, Buffalo Franks Burger is a great addition. Delicious. Top marks to Bex in the kitchen. As always Josh & Danielle very good front of house. A great dog friendly pub & good service

As a carvery, I really rate this place. Was introduced to the Shepherds by my sister and her husband. And since then have returned on multiple occasions. Last two of which have been with my brother. And for a place to meet my brothers exacting standards it's a-hold-the-front-page !!!. The lagers are clean and crisp. The pricing structure is certainly affordable. The cellarman certainly has an impeccable standard to keep up. The meats don't betray what we've all come to expect at a carvery. The Chef really puts it on the line each time a meat goes out. The meat is impeccable. The sides are heaven on a plate Atmosphere is obviously time related. Though I've been here early doors ish and the atmosphere is ok plus. This place can turn at the drop of a hat, which us why I give weekends a miss unless, and it is advisable to book in advance. I have no difficulties at giving an over all rating of ten out of ten. There are disabled facilities. Car parking facilities, and it can boast of OUTWARD AND RETURN BUS STOPS. This route is on the concessionary travel plan. A taxi ride from Shepherds TO Sneinton cost just less than twenty quid.

Very good food, Can get a full sunday dinner ans the mash is very good. Service was great. Would recommend

Nice pub, great staff. Food is okay but standard for chain pubs. Drinks are reasonable.

Visited The Shepherds for the first time yesterday, certainly won’t be our last. A warm & friendly welcome, not just for us, but our little dog as well. We both opted for the carvery and agreed it was one of the best we have ever hard. Well done chef and well done all the staff, you are a credit to this business!

Lovely place. Staff are always very friendly and love dogs to visit. Good choice of nice food.

I booked a table in advance and in the comment box I asked if we could have a side table due to my son's autism. On arrival find out that they reserved us 3 table in a quieter area so it was only us. Must say I almost cried. Food was nice and fresh for both of us and received everything promptly. The team is amazing, and I really appreciate the understanding. We had an amazing and calm dinner out. Thank you very much, definitely will be back in the future 💚

Had the pizza on the 50% off night. Great pizza and value.

Excellent food and service thanks, particularly to Danielle. Many thanks

Excellent carvery meal today. Generous portions of meat which was tender and tasty. Roasties particularly good . Staff friendly, polite and helpful.

Friendly helpful staff. Pizza very good .thanks

We were staying at Caravan and Camping site nearby . Fantastic service , so friendly and helpful. The pizzas are amazing , my wife had the carvery, loved it ! Dog friendly pub as well , thoroughly recommend!!! Many thanks to Eddie , Josh and Glen

My friend and I both had a lovely carvery there this afternoon. The service was great and even though they got one of our dessert choices wrong, they soon corrected the error and even offered the incorrect dessert as well! Definitely recommend this restaurant! Top notch!

Specifically took the kids for breakfast, no waffles available again, asked if we could have some scrambled egg was told we don't do scrambled egg, don't know many kids that like fried eggs, it's not exactly hard to scramble some eggs for one child

Lovely dog friendly pub and good food at reasonable prices.

We went as a family group plus 3 dogs. We were made to feel very welcome and they ensured the dogs were comfortable and provided water and some sneaky treats. Bar service was prompt, friendly and professional. We had the carvery on two days and found the food to be fresh and of good standard. Very reasonable price too. Kids loved the bottomless ice cream, just think they should do this for the adults too. ;-)

One person went above and beyond I think his name glen he made extra time for me grandson 🤩

Standard Stonehouse carvery. Quick to get a table, all meat and veggies spot on.

The only thing to comment on were roasties too well done for my liking. Otherwise I enjoyed my meal and a pint of Doombar.

Went with a friend for food at The Shepherds pub. It is a nice bar out of the way and has some good walks nearby at Cotgrave Country Park. Excellent pint of Wainwright. The food was good value for money and portion size was excellent. Burger was very well cooked and tasty. Asked for mayonnaise never got any brought out but apart from that service was good. Would return. Great value for money, great carvery.

Amazing breakfast always fully stocked and fresh rotation so is kept warm and nice. Best buffet breakfast i know of. Very affordable and is our go to place now for great fresh produce breakfast and all you can eat is a bonus for my partner. Great staff always welcoming.

Cheep, cheerful, and very friendly.

Carvery on sunday and b.fast to die for

Have on 2 occasions been for the Sunday carvery. We went early for both meals. Got seats straight away as they will cater to fit you in wherever possible. As we went early, the meat was very tender and juicy, and the rest of the meal was lovely and fresh. Service was brilliant and with a smile.

Staff very friendly but food bang average at best. Typical chain pub.

Cannot and will not fault the place... food is 99% of the time hot, cooked well and plenty of it... yes you will find time when the pots need refilling, go to any carvery and you will find this at busy times... as for veg, who likes their veg cooked exactly like everyone else? I like my cauliflower soft, son likes it like a bullet, hubby hates the stuff :) you cant win. Staff, we stayed at the caravan park over the road in August and went in a few times (every night actually) for a dinner, went back just before Christmas for a Sunday roast (we live around 40 mins away) and the guy behind the bar remembered us! even asked how my dad was!... very impressed, he even remembered what my hubby drank! Going back in a few weeks, cant wait!

Danielle and glynn did a fantastic job of catering for a large group very pleasant made it a great visit, punctual food really frl fiendly staff willing to chat to us despite being so busy great x

I spend a lot of time wondering the uk and this has been the best experience for a long time, the gentleman behind the bar and the other staff are a credit to the owners. The carvery was excellent along with excellent conditioned ale . I was staying at the ccc nottingham site around the corner and will return in a few months I feel sure.

Got a takeaway carvery here while staying at the nearby campsite. The food was good and there was so much of it we couldn't eat it all.

Amazing breakfast quality was really good and the price was so cheap

Pub is 5 minute walk from Ccc.campsite.. Walked dog...had small carvery...and bought 2 sausage for Dog.... Staff very nice ..polite....spoke to Emma...who was filling in for another member of staff.....and chef... Great menu.....carvery was nice veg nice ... It's Dog Friendly..... There's a carpark ... Will go again on next van trip...

Very friendly staff good atmosphere food was very good and plenty of it. We arrived early and were shown to a table with no problems at all. The staff just juggled the tables around, which wasn't any problem at all to just very much appreciated. Thank you

Couldn’t recommend shepherds stone house enough! We have never had a bad meal, from the burgers to the carvery to the pizzas. Everything is always so fresh and tasty and lovely and warm. The all you can eat breakfast is our favourite Saturday morning treat and so much to choose from. Lastly the puddings.. so much to choose from and the perfect Finnish to a lovely tasty meal.. The staff are like a big family and are always so happy, and make you feel so welcome. Nothing is ever to much. It’s so refreshing walking into a busy restaurant and still seeing them have a laugh and still smiling.. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Food fantastic, service fantastic outside needs an upgrade

Because we had a dog one of the ladies watched our dog while we fetched our meals. Wonderful lady.

Absolutely fantastic experience today.. It's my birthday so my husband decided to surprise me with a meal As we are not local (come from Boston lincolnshire) Our meal was absolutely amazing and the desserts were do much more than we expected.. A absolutely wonderful restaurant, staff were fantastic... Its was beautiful cosy and very inviting 😁😁 I'd Definitely visit again with my family..

The Sunday lunch (carvery) was the best we have ever had, so tasty and cooked perfectly.

We came here for a birthday meal after a friend recommended their pizzas. We were not disappointed at all. The pizzas were fabulous. Not your normal toppings (although they were available too), but different tasty ones which we loved! The service was fantastic. The members of staff on duty made us feel really welcome, they were genuine friendly people who clearly enjoyed their job and giving a good service. Even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy on the night (weds) they were busy constantly cleaning, restocking and checking on their customers. We were also pleased to get %25 off from downloading no the Stonehouse app! Thanks for a great meal and we will definitely be back and recommend to others.

Staff were lovely. Meat was dry, over cooked, veg was a mixture of undercooked (non al-dente, rock hard uncooked) and overcooked (roast potatoes at 12:15 were as I'd expect them at end of service, rock hard, like cutting through leather)

Excellent! Very welcoming and food good.

Friendly staff, food amazing, didn't have to wait long. We were not rushed

Not the place it used to be. Last year, I gave it 4 stars for food, value and service and although the staff are good, the food, well mainly the roast potatoes, are awful. Went last Sunday and obviously everyone was staying away from the roasts. There were 3 full pots of blackened roasts. Normally, I wouldn't mind a well done roast, but these were cremated! I tried to eat a couple, but they were the worst roasts I've ever come across and if I was the manager of that place, I'd have been embarrassed. Awful. Tried the turkey, which was moist and tasty, the mashed potato was nice but the rest was ok. I wouldn't go there again for a carvery. Pizzas looked good though so maybe I'll try them next time.

The overall experience was great a really relaxing atmosphere we enjoyed our meal and will be back for another meal. We felt the meal offered good value for money. It the first time we have eaten in Stonehouse restaurant.

Meal was horrible. Roast potatoes was burnt, the buds of the potatoes was in the mash and the meat was fatty. I did complain and nothing was done!

On our way to a weekend at The Nottinghamshire. Booked 15 of us in for breakfast and everyone delighted with quality of food and service. Definitely worth a visit

Decided to go today for lunch ordered 2 carvery’s at the bar went to be served and was told all the beef was gone the server was very rude and stated it’s all gone !! the veg was under cooked left most of it on the plate While walking out noticed another joint of beef had appeared on the serving counter absolutely fuming would be an understatement We have been going for years well definitely will not be going back any time soon

Lovely Sunday lunch with family. Something to suit everybody!

The food and service was great, we really enjoyed the evening celebrating my birthday

Good range of Food, I had the pizza and it was very good, even better as 50% on a Tuesday!

It was OK the food was nice and fresh ( carvery) but it was noon, so it should be. Service was good, not exceptional.

Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was excellent. Thank you!

The roast potatoes where over cooked

Visited for Sunday dinner on the 14th after having a brilliant experience at another pub in the chain but although the meat was plentiful and really nice the roast potatoes were disgraceful, literally nearly black and rock solid, we ate just after midday so they must have been leftovers reheated from the previous day, Yorkshire pudding were like rock aswell. Wont be visiting again

Lovely food , pleasant atmosphere, even tho we were a funeral gathering nice afternoon spent 😀

The carvery was very good we love coming to the shepherd pub staff are very friendly especially josh

Great service, probably the best I've had in a pub!

Food luke warm some overcooked not a pleasant carvery at all poor really, place looking very tired

My family have been visiting for years and we really enjoy both the the buffet breakfast and carvery. Could have more variety of eggs for the breakfast and on certain occasions there has been limited veg options for the carvery but the food always tastes great and is very good value for money! Both parking and the seating are plentiful so booking isn’t always necessary. The service is always friendly too :)

Great breakfast buffet and lovely staff

Very good staff and food here, try the breakfast 👍

Had to wait for carvery as there was very limited veg also toilet are some what in need of fleshing up as they smell very bad and could benfit to a coat of paint it's been a while since I came here and I think it will take a very long time before I go again not very good experience at all

Amazing food alwyas coming here amazing service 10/10😊

A lovely experience! My partner, my son and I had a lovely get together with my sister, her partner and her son. The atmosphere was really nice, extremely nice people visiting the pub and the staff are friendly and polite. The food was really nice too, my sons pizza look so appetizing and must of been tasty as he ate it all. I had a burger that was also lovely and partner had multiple starters for his lunch 😅😂 and he enjoyed every one. There was a little play area but not really big enough for a 6 year old child but there was a few machines inside that my son enjoyed. The only bad thing I could say is we're was seat had a bench on one side of the table where we sat and it was old the pleather had peeled and the padding had gone. It was also very wobbly and uncomfortable but we didn't say anything so we did not give the staff chance to move but it wasn't the end of the world.

We had a family meal to celebrate my wife’s birthday, all six of us had the carvery. The pub was busy and so we were pleased we booked a table. We all enjoyed the meal, we were impressed that when we disclosed an allergy you provided clean serving spoons. Overall the meal was very nice, the only problems we encountered was that the cauliflower cheese for two people had a large lump of inedible hard stalk in it and some of the roast potatoes were overcooked, not just crispy which is low I like them, properly burnt with a nasty taste. There was also a very long queue for the carvery, but it was Sunday lunchtime which I guess is a popular time. One member of our party was a wheelchair user, the access to the building was level and provided reasonable access. As it was busy there were no blue badge parking bays available. One member of the party had to accompany the wheelchair user to the carvery as he obviously couldn’t carry a plate, which meant they had to queue again to collect their meal, this meant the people who queued first were almost finished when they returned with their food after queuing twice. Could you have a system where a carer can collect their meat after assisting a wheelchair user when it is busy? So a couple of improvements that could be easily made, but overall we had a lovely meal and we will return to The Shepherds, making sure we avoid the inedible parts of the cauliflower and burnt potatoes!

Place was very cold no heating on as we sat next to radiator we all had a carvery mash potatoe was cold and the rest of the dinner was Luke warm the gravy was the only thing that was hot

The food and service were really good. My only issue was my son and i wanted a mixed grill but unfortunately there was no steak on the menu. My 11 year old daughter loves a carvery and enjoyed her meal. In summary, it was a nice meal but not what i came for and the staff were busy but still pleasant and polite. As long as you don’t want a mixed grill you would enjoy the meal and the atmosphere 100%

amazing place staff are realy friendly and the carvery is the best in nottinghamshire.

Hadn’t been there in a long time due to illness, but my god food was AMAZING 🤪 Manager sooo friendly and staff 👍 The chef great banter 🫶 Carn’t wait to sample the B/F 😜 We’ll definitely be going at least 3 times a week 👏

Very welcoming staff Lovely and clean Great quick service Had to queue a little for the carvery - but to be expected on a Sunday

Gorgeous food. Lovely staff. Great atmosphere! 🎊

Good service and friendly staff.

Festive menu was good value, nice food & staff were great

Been here on many occasions and always have throughly enjoyed our visits. Food is always exceptional and the staff are very friendly and always happy too help

Very clean. Did well to recover from flooding only a week ago. Great choice of food on carvery. Food quality and preparation were excellent. Great friendly staff. Superb value for money. Disappointed with ales Doombar served but end of barrel. John Smith s served but cloudy and end of barrel. Wainwright s ale looked ok but tasted vinegary. Need a good cellarman appointing who cares about what is served

Very friendly staff. Food was good and plentiful.

Good value for money carvery, with really great staff.

As always, good service, pleasant staff and nice food

Food and Service was great. The ice cream from the bottomless machine was the only lowlight. We felt the quality of the ice cream was poor.
