The Test Match in Rushcliffe

Had a lovely vegan burger and watched the rugby. I really liked the decor and there was a great atmosphere.

I love visiting this pub. The staff are fantastic and always friendly and helpfull. There is a good choice of food to enjoy and a good selection of drinks. They have all the best sport and football games on. They also have some entertainment each month and a quiz every tuesday. The pub is clean and welcoming. Can't recommend enough.

Steak sandwich was inedible. When I complained at the bar (when I was finally acknowledged) I was met with a “so, I don’t do the cooking” and he tried to walk off….. asked if he would pay £10 for that he responded “no,”… I asked to speak with the manager and was bluntly told “they aren’t in”…. He may be new, he may be on minimum rate but he deserves a massive pay cut… Did speak to the lady in charge, she asked what the issue was, I pointed to the sandwich and she said “I’ll sort it”… she was very very pleasant, helpful and polite. The replacement sandwich was slightly better, but my appetite had gone. Oh and the fries didn’t make it back

Don't know if there's been a change of landlord but nowhere near as enjoyable as last visit, prices have increased somewhat & service was slow, asked continuously to repeat our order?

Had a great few drinks and games of pool here with friends. Great staff friendly with funny chat. Will.be back

Lovely food, friendly and speedy service! 10/10 :)

Real ales were poor, food was okay , really nice looking pub with art deco interior

Great staff and nice looking building

Lovely pub. Nice choice of food. Manager Stewart was very helpful with my disabled daughter who is in a wheelchair. Nothing was too much for him. He is a credit to the team.

Just had a pint before an England game at Trent Bridge. Sad there were so few in this pub. The pint I had wasn't the best. The pub looks fantastic.

It gets busy before & after Forest games so maybe have more than 2 staff on as the matches are planned in advance Big queue at bar just down to no staff which isnt uncommon even on Friday teatime Last Sunday afternoon they had run out of Guiness & some of the lagers I like this pub & go a lot but it needs proper organisation

Called in for food and wasn't disappointed in the service/ food/ drinks all as you would want, will be back when in the area

Went to the Test Match to meet friends. Haven’t been there in over a year but I must say the service was of a much higher class than before. staff were lovely and very knowledgeable about their products. The manager was very pleasant and polite, it was a lovely experience and one i will do again much sooner.

Nice pub with good staff. Pulled a decent Guinness

Found staff very helpful , the manager was great recommend food we should try , and it was very nice indeed.thankyou .

Lovely food and great service, friendly and helpful staff worth a visit

Lovely staff especially Stewart. Nice atmosphere. Steak sandwhich was really nice for lunch. Looking forward to coming back.

Quite at time of visit. Staff friendly and helpful, nice decor, would look good with a little bit of tlc. Didn't have a meal only a drink.

Staff were friendly and helpful

Food was really nice, good range of drinks and the service was first class. Pretty faultless and well definitely be back. Only gave the atmosphere a 4 as it was very quiet, but the place is lovely, a really nice art-deco building. When the cocktail bar opens upstairs, I think it will be a great addition to a great pub

Went during the day so not many people about. Good range of drinks. Interesting rooms

Such a beautifully preserved Art Deco pub. One of my favourite watering holes. I suffer from several Emphysema so zi cannot stand at the bar for service; a circumstance swiftly recognised by barman Aden. Brought me my drinks to my table which I paid for by Contactless Card. I overhear duty manger Jay say I couldn’t be bothered to get up to the bar!! She then came over to me to inform me “We only do table service for meals, not for drinks!”. I explained my situation to her to which see replied “Don’t try and play the disabled card at me!!”. I am surprised that the brewery tolerates this obvious anti-disabled attack! I will not be visiting the Test Match again and I shall certainly be making the numerous disabled societies, of which I am member, aware of Jay’s bias against the disabled! On an up note Bravo Aden, thanks for your kind understanding!!

We had a great family celebration here recently. The pub is really spacious and the service and food was excellent There was a good choice for everyone . The staff were really friendly , in particular Harrison , who is a credit to the team .

Great place to meet your friends and enjoy a good night..

Visited the test match today for a spot of lunch. And was not disappointed. We had karaage chicken. Which was delicious. We also had the pleasure of meeting the kitchen manager who was ever so helpful. I think her name was Katy? Overall lovely experience and will be visiting again soon.

Great service, food tasty and well presented. All staff really helpful and polite, can’t fault it, will definitely be returning.

Nice old fashioned pub enjoyed having a drink in there staff were kind and polite definitely worth going to again.

We held a 90th birthday party. The function room, menu and staff were excellent. Car parking wasn’t great but there was a car park close by. Would highly recommend the venue. Well done to all the staff very friendly, polite and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Booked a table for dinner but after we had ordered a round of drinks, had a sit down, looked at the menu and then back to order were we then told that there was no food being served. Surly, rude staff who offered no apology. Shame as we have been before and it was an ok pub for food.

Poor Food & Unwelcoming Staff. Ordered fish & chips, fish was over cooked & the chips were a kind of standard frozen version. The Bow Buns were dense, dry overcooked skewers & bland crispy squid. We were asked to move half way through our meal from a non reserved table the staff felt no need to intervene so because we have newly moved to the area we only moved to keep the peace. The old women member of staff with glasses had awful customer service & seemed to be bitter towards us for some reason. I had high hopes coming here but I have to say I am very disappointed. Even another customer was embarrassed & approached us to apologise for the awful experience. Unfortunately I would not be returning & I will not recommend the Test Match to anyone.

Always a good pint, back garden area needs updating, otherwise ok

Had a,very dry sandwich when asked if everything was OK I said the bread was dry the waiter then said apart from that was everything else OK I said yes he said fine and walked off no offer of getting anything else

Visited a while ago for the fish cake salad with new potatoes, was absolutely brilliant, with brilliant service many thanks to Simone and Jay!

Staff are friendly but it is a strange building. Also was not expecting the old school DJ on a Friday night. Felt like a Peter Kay kind of pub - it has charm and I would go again but not quite what I expected.

Great staff makes the place. As regulars we love coming here! Superb!

Below average for me personally

I found it Very expensive. Glad I don't go out too often. Couldn't afford too. Beer was good though.

Wonderful place. Been tonight for a Christmas menu taster, cooked by the fantastic beautiful Chef Simone, and hosted by wonderful Manager Cameron, had the most delicious food treats Staff are friendly, attentive and amiable, well worth a regular visit here. Thank you everyone. X Been many times since this and try to go at least once a week, everything is absolutely stupendous, food excellent, atmosphere, music exceptional and staff are like an extended family xxx

Great service wonderful staff and food and atmosphere

Lovely old pub... Been there all my life

Big space , not many people around Nice old building

No Pinta Cha Cha beer on, Greene King IPA was in its place. There was a different cask on the bar which replaced something else. I just wish there was always at least something different on the cask. Pub was filling for diners and drinkers tonight. Good atmosphere. Children and dogs welcome.

Food was very good, ordered the sharer dishes, exceptional, staff were on song too. Definitely return and will tell my friends about this place..

The pies are great plus use their app and get various discounts

Lovely staff, delicious food. Cameron, the owner is the best. There are always lovely dogs and a great atmosphere. I almost don't want to leave the review because then more people will come but the staff deserve the recognition.

Thank you for putting on my mum's wake. It was a great day at a place that holds so many memories for our family. Amy, who took our booking, couldn't have been more helpful and kind. I'm so glad my mum picked the Test Match. From Joanne and family

Food is fantastic, chef Simone is perfect and all the staff are wonderful. Very attentive making are visits a pleasure.

Came for a spot of lunch with friends and I have to say it was absolutely delicious! Lunch & a drink £10! What an absolute bargain! The food presentation was fantastic, and tasted great, top compliments to the chef Simone. Will definitely be coming back again and recommending it to all my friends and family

Went here for an evening meal and drink, quick service, good price and friendly staff, shout out to the team leader that help with our brief issue and thank you to the team for a lovely evening and wrapping our leftover to take home. Would recommend great team.

Great service from everyone, especially Amy, great pints also

Change a lot since I've last been in ,nice friendly staff and good selection of beers. Fine until they turn up the music that loud you couldn't hear your self speak, time to go.

An Art Deco gem! Authentic 30’s revolving door entrance and angular symmetry in woodwork and lighting! Immaculately kept optics and one of the best chilled Guinness I’ve come across for a long time. Most obligingly and amiable landlord Cameron! Excellent menu prepared in a most efficient kitchen. Fair prices and vegetarian and vegan dishes available; I canning stress how important this is in s World which is growing evermore aware of the dietary impact on our habitat. To be supported!!

Where's my phone? Staff took a lot time out to check, then show me CCTV footage. Additionally... booked a time to call my phone to coincide with me getting back home. So cool, so thoughtful 10/10 respect x

Can't go wrong with the Test Match

Recently attended a works Christmas do at the Test Match which was brilliant. Service with a smile, amazing array of food served on the hot buffet we had and Amy bent over backwards for us.

A group of 9 of us decided to have a Christmas get together before our meeting. On arrival the tables had been reserved for our use and we were able to choose what we wanted to eat that evening. Our choices were handed to Amy, who asked if we wanted separate or group billing. Individual billing was our preference and it caused no problems. The food came out and was well presented, tasty and hot. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience, even though it was a first time for many of us . I have no issues with the excellent service from the kitchen and also the bar.

Fantastic night… great service… great atmosphere- would definitely recommend…. Drinks prices were really reasonable and We had a great night

We’re a group of muddy Mtb’s, normally most pubs leave us out in the cold, well not this one !!, the hostess came out and told us to bring our bikes through the pub into a secure area and then let us inside for a refreshing few pints and a warm up!, the hospitality from them was amazing and the beer selection pretty good too…thanks guys 🙏

Great food. Excellent service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good pool table and dart board

Had such a lovely Saturday night at the test match, Amy looked after us and I couldn’t ask for better service. Very efficient, knowledgeable about the drinks she was serving and above all so kind. Couldn’t recommend enough

Nice old fashioned building good service

Took my 92 yr old mum here for birthday lunch last week. The staff were amazing, so welcoming and friendly. Food was excellent and the pub is easy to reach and a lovely interesting old building. My mum lost her ring and I had to go back. The manager helped me look and we found it by the front door. I was so pleased. Thank you! We’ll come again.

Visited this week with sister in law and our 3 children. The staff were all really welcoming and lovely especially towards the two toddlers who just wanted to explore the pub! Big thanks to chef Leo for our lunches which were a big hit. The cheese toast was especially delicious. Highly recommend.

Great lunchtime meal today. Great food excellent friendly service. Fab art deco interior. Couldn’t ask for more.

We use to come here regularly however the food standards started slipping and we haven’t been in for some time. Went in for lunch and a few drinks. Staff were very friendly and attentive as per usual and drinks went down a treat. Thought we’d have a bite to eat, I don’t know what you’ve done/ changed but the food was impeccable. Perfectly cooked and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Found my favourite lunch spot! Will be returning with the family every other weekend!

Wonderful professional management and excellent customer service and team leadership. For is excellent quality 👌.

The staff were so attentive especially the girl with the brown hair tied up. She cared and stood out! What great service!! Thank you 😊

Great pub, used to visit with my grandad 13/14 years ago. It's changed hands a few times since then but it looks the same, and the staff are very friendly. Charming venue, the decor is peaceful and cultured. It's not a rowdy boozer, nor is it somewhere that is always going to be crawling with punters in the day, but considering how good a place it is to eat, that's probaly for the better. Fantastic balance of class and good atmosphere. Food was superb, I'd recommend the katsu curry burger.

Even though this establishment is under new management the staff continue to be obnoxious to the local people therefore I will not be supporting them financially or in any other way which is probably due to the fact most staff are not local.

wonderful place to drink and enjoy a peaceful moment. historical building with traditional interior decoration.

Katsu burger was beautiful along with great ales

Always a great evening to be had with a good selection of ales and friendly staff looking forward to tonight’s open mic night which always a great night

Friday night prosecco with the girls. Lovely atmosphere throughout. Fast bar service and lots of tasty snacks on the food menu

Manager is a top guy always polite and works very hard, glad to have a lovely pint of carling back in.

Atmosphere is great and the service is the best! Top manager. Couldn't get better

Becoming a regular since Cameron took over best service I've had in Nottingham and the food was amazing

Love the place, it’s our new local and their aspalls hits the spots. Also dog friendly and I love petting all the dogs there ! Thanks x

Visited for drinks for my wife’s birthday. Excellent location as close to the residential area but also right by the strip of bars and restaurants. We were well looked after and felt the drinks range was vast and competitive on price.

Lovely place the manager is always around and happy to help, burgers are delicious would definitely recommend

Burgers are the best I’ve had. Fresh and the taste of the juices are delicious, will definitely recommend. New manager is always around and always happy to help if needed. Lovely place

Great pub, friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere.

Nice, characterful friendly local in the town centre with good range of beers at reasonable prices. Food quite good , just as expected.

The best service I have had in a long time. Amy our server was warm, Welcoming and the most friendliest member of staff that I have come across. She is an absolute credit to your company :)

Cameron's food was top notch staff including Sarah and Lee where friendly and attentive, would recommend the test match to anyone 👌 👍

Good old fashioned pub, staff welcoming and friendly, food quite good. We sat outside for our meal when someone brought their dog out to do their business right next to us on the astroturf, not very pleasant. Don’t mind dogs if they are kept in...
