The Travellers Rest in Ashfield

Quality pub, rustic looking, decent food, great atmosphere for the football when it's on.

Private party. Food was very basic. Room nice

Sunday lunch, my friend had minted lamb & I had roast beef .the meats were so tasty & tender.thank you

Attended during the halloween fancy dress event. The staff was lovely, drinks were nice and had a good selection. They had live music which was really good and overall nice people and atmosphere

Lovely separate function room with bar, perfect for our wake. Really nice to have tea coffee and hot chocolate for some guests. Buffet was lovely, hot food a bonus, chips were amazing and not a paper plate in sight. Elaine and staff were polite and respectful and went out of their way to provide what we wanted

Had the mega mixed grill off the new menu. Meat was cooked perfectly. Big portion.

First class meals, reasonably priced with a good selection of meals

Disgusting pizza.... better one u can get in any corner shop in a freezer.. Friendly stuff is the only good thing in this place

We didn't have time for food but Very friendly staff

Friendly pub, just a pity they don't have a choice of real ales

First time we are here we could t fault the food. Came here again on 31st Aug 24 for a date night and the food was well below par. My pie was dry and hard, the gravy was a blob of jelly on my plate and my partner choked on the grizzle on his steak. Food was very disappointing. Won't be going back was really put off. Tables were dirty upone arrival, there was no cutlery nor any napkins. The 2 guys behind the bar look like they should have been smoking a Doobie in the smoke shed and didn't care about customers. I WILL NOT be recommending this place to anyone for food.

Fantastic Trav Fest on Saturday. A lot of hard work was put in by everyone . Hope this was first of many. Also had a great Friday night . keep up the good work

What a fantastic outdoor festival the travelers rest put on yesterday, it was the first one so somethings wasn’t gonna go smoothly with certain things however I think that just helps for the next time they have one they will know now on what changes need to be made. But Elaine and Dave and all the staff did amazing and all the bands made the atmosphere fantastic. I can’t wait for the next one…. Well done

Cracking day at the travs rest fest, nice and busy. Was great to see! Had the best day. Plenty of beer and some pizzas from the travs which were banging too.

Fab day at the restfest yesterday...huge well done all round 👏

Went to the Travellers Rest pub I Sutton I Ashfield to attend their first ever Restfest which had live bands, lovely food and side stalls it was fantastic day out for all the family. Can't wait until next year when hopefully this will take place again.Well done to all the people who made this free event possible for the local community.

Had an absolutely fantastic evening yesterday listening to the bands. First time coming here and the people were so welcoming and the staff are brilliant too. It was busy and took a while to get to the bar but that's to be expected with an event. I will definitely be back I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great work yesterday guys keep it up

Come to this pub a far bit and for their first time doing a (free by the way) outside music event it was amazing 👍

I don’t have to visit because I can hear every word from these Acts 3 streets away - it wouldn’t be bad if they were in tune. Loud doesn’t mean you can sing

Highly recommended, brilliant night out with friends and family, staff really friendly and overall great visit xx

Hosted a event today, god awful show of appreciation of locals considering there is limited parking already on such a busy main road and decided to shut down all their car park, residents can not park and playing outdoor music till late into the night when the heat alone causes trouble for younger ones to settle never mind the god awful karaoke going on! Im all for fun but really? No need at all.

The place is okay to many creepy men tho I'm just sitting down having my scorching hot meal (i was only eating it hot cuz I was hungry (the food came out quick it wasn't the restaurant fault))and I'm getting creeper on by a bunch of old men told the bar they said they can't do anything

Went for a beer and a bit of lunch yesterday. We both had a panini which comes with chips and salad. Amazing food and value for money. The homemade chips were probably the best I’ve ever had. Lovely friendly staff that couldn’t do enough. Will be visiting again. Well done.

Had Sunday roast , standard size , two tiny pieces of roast beef , veg was cold , yorkshire pudding obviously not fresh , very chewy , roast potatoes straight out of fryer , nothing home cooked about this . To add insult to injury I paid £5 for two very , very small dog chews , dont be fooled into buying those . When I commented to staff that there could have been more meat on the meal " I got a miniscule amount " she just said " thats why you size up " , dread to think what the small portion would have been !!! Abysmal it really was .

Was the worst Sunday lunch , two tiny pieces of beef , when I commented was told I should have sized up !!! If that was standard , dont know what small would have been , my companion had Scampi and chips was atrocious , altogether a waste of money . Would never go back , service sloppy and careless , cutlery dirty .

My wife and I visited on a Thursday evening and both had steak and ale pie. It was really excellent and I cleared my plate, which I rarely do nowadays. Also, it was excellent value, so what's not to like.

Food always nice good value for large portions.

Second visit, really good home made food and hot. Gravy to die for amazing, really friendly people. We meet after work for a group meal had 5 of us eating tonight outstanding. Thanks see you next time.

Friendly team, great atmosphere and delicious pizza, what more could anyone want??? We met here as a group of local businesses recently and can highly recommend this pub!

Great pizza and burger. Quick service excellent quality and value.

Super lovely owners- had a networking event here through Enterprising Ashfield and got to meet the owners, taste some food and talk business-although it was a small group we really learnt alot from each other. Honestly the food was good too, the chips being home made is a real selling point for me and LOVED the spicy menu. I will definetely be going back when I get a chance and am not booked up with events- very cosy venue as well with friendly customers. PS: They got a massive TV too :P

So my first time to the travellers arms tonight and met with a small group of people for a meet up! It was really cozy, homely feels to it and automatically felt a good vibe from the pub. I like my pub grubs and going to places to eat, to chill from time to time. I'm neurodivergent and often find pub atmospheres to be a little overwhelming, but this one wasn't for myself. It had seperate rooms, the volumes in each wasn't bad at all, and the option in food and drink had a variety. The service was lovely, David and Elaine were incredibly welcoming, friendly and had great banter too! So, it was easy to relax with them, and also enjoy the atmosphere with the people I was with. For any PIZZA lovers, I recommend this place 100%. The pizza is bootiful, can tell it's homemade fresh, the taste, temperature and texture was 🫠🫠 and the side wedges and chips 👌 *cheifs kiss*. I will definetly be back again for pub grub, and for the atmosphere too. 5 out of 5!

Fantastic local place. Fresh homemade food, delicious chips and at reasonable prices. Staff are so friendly and it’s dog friendly!

Booked a table for 23 people. Chose this pub as its home made food and the staff are fantastic. When we booked we know it was a big ask for the amount of people there. But despite all odds the food came out at a steady pace. Everyone enjoyed it. Would highly recommend the salmon fishcakes from the special menu as they are made fresh and are fantastic. Also if you think you like spicy curry/chilli, then please do try Daves hot curry/chilli!!! It's a challenge but well worth it. Well done to all the staff. Fantastic service, great atmosphere, unbelievable food.

Waited 1hr for what was supposed to be a Lasagne. When it finally came it was burnt, hard and cold. Came home and threw up. Would never eat here again. A picture speaks a thousand words.

Super welcoming pub, staff and owners really lovely and the home cooked meals are to die for! We had lasagne, stake and ale pie and braised beef which you could tell were all made with love and cooked to perfection! Only feedback - put your prices up! Your meals are worth way more :) Will 100% be returning. Thank you!

The Travs is our local pub and we have always had a decent pint and lovely food there especially the Sunday Lunch😊 Sadly our mum passed away and we had to sort out a venue to celebrate her life for after her funeral. This is where Elaine and David stepped in and up🥰 As a family we can’t thank these lovely pair and their staff enough. Everything was perfect from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. The buffet was good and the hot food was regularly replenished. We even had photos of our lovely mum projected on the screens in the venue ( Dave to the rescue 🙌) A fantastic time was had by all that attended and our mum would have loved every second of it. We even managed to beat the most baby guiness to be drank in one day record 🙈🤣 So from the bottom of our hearts thanks again and for showing me, my family and friends such kindness at such a difficult time. Cheers chicks 💕💙UP DA TRAVS 🍻🥂xxxx

Just nipped in for quick drink, ended up having 2 for 12 meals plus 2 desserts, well cooked piping hot vert good value, now leave me alone to enjoy my 00 guinness

Just had a fantastic meal with the whole family. All meals we're cooked beautifully, child's meal was really great value and they even gave our dog food. The staff couldn't do enough for us and was excellent value for money. Will definitely be returning again. Thanks x

I enjoyed meal but had to send my chicken and steak back as steak over cooked and cold but replacement fine. Peas on my mother in laws were cold but they brought some more out. I would return as my partner had hunters chicken which was lovely and mixed grill nice.

Food is nice had fish goujons and a cheese and ham panini and my father had the soup which he enjoyed just long wait at the bar

My husband had tinned braising steak and hard chips and my salad was tiny and my chips were hard too. We were disappointed in our meals, they used to make better meals than this.

Disappointed waited 1 hour 20 minutes for food when it came my steak was more than well done when I asked for medium my husband had steak n chicken combo only no steak was on it no one was at the bar or no one came and asked how our meal was so we just left on good note the home made chips were beautiful wasn't just us that wasn't happy 2 other tables were complaining about the service aswel

Ordered a bbq chicken pizza and a hot and spicy. Both were delicious, more than reasonably priced and definitely hit the spot! Wish I knew about these sooner! Much better than a regular pizza takeaway! Found our new favourite!

Food good but needs a refurbishment

Every time I've walked past it smell's beautiful so me an my partner Went here yesterday for the first time and food was amazing all I can say is I'll be back very soon

First visit was for a friend's wake. Buffet food was good variety with hot chips and chicken nibbles and plenty of sandwiches, pork pie and sausage rolls as well as nibbles. Was à very pleasant place.

Absolutely beautiful food we will be returning , the cottage pies homemade chips so tasty then the cake n custard Absolutely recommend this beautiful pub 😋

Best chilli ever and Dave is the best host ever

Lovely,local, traditional pub. Great home cooked food, great beer, great staff and the new beer mats are scantastic🤣

Food was absolutely amazing . Very delicious , been few times everytime it's been lovely highly recommended give it a try very reasonable price aswell 😀

So after having 2 great meals of chesse burger and home made chips in the past i went in tonight 2 order the same meal again . I was told there wasnt any beef burgers left but they had lamb burgers so i ordered the lamb burger ........ when it came there was no chesse and also the chips where not home made and also not cooked propeley . Also the lamb burger must of been shy as i could bearley see it . Wasnt worth £8-50 and was hoping the owner was going 2 ask how my meal was !!!!!! I forced it down me and went ..... WILL NEVER GO IN THERE AGAIN

Very long hair in my curry, no one at bar to report, no one asked if meal OK, been lots of times for lunch but feel this place isn't as good as usual

Delicious home cooked food. Highly recommended. Cottage pie, scampi, pizzas, fish and chips, chicken and chips etc etc all beautiful.

Amazing Christmas dinner! Food was amazing, booking for next year!

Just had a Christmas dinner,... ALL I can say is It was absolutely first class. Great price, very good portions. Came away VERY satisfied and full. In fact as soon as bookings are open we will be booking again. And the staff were cracking. Very helpful and cheerful. GREAT JUST GREAT......

We just had the most gorgeous Christmas lunch! The food was absolutely perfect and the servers were so friendly and accommodating. Will 💯 be rebooking for XMas 2024! Thank you for making our day extra special 💗

The meal we had was really excellent all fresh not frozen vegetables the meat just fell apart so tender and delicious. The staff were really friendly too. Couldn't find any faults. Definitely come back again and I live in Nottingham worth the journey.

The best pizza around! Stuff the takeaways get yourself in here!! Staff are amazing too!

OK, so came in tonight with a group of friends at 17:00. Thought we had all decided what to eat but was then told they had run out of things on the menu. So we all decided on other items of the menu. Safe to say we was not left disappointed!!! The Christmas pizza was amazing, brasing steak was soooo tender. The beef burger with bacon was fantastic, never seen a burger so big, thick, and tasty! The home made pizzas are fantastic, and the kids meals are more than enough for your little ones. A few of us had a small amount of room for pudding, and the toffee apple cobbler with toffee sauce was amazing!!! Prices are fantastic and not over priced, and do a great selection of beers!!!! Safe to say we all coming back again!!! Thank you so much for the hospitality.

Disappointed! I did return it and got another meal but it’s put me off!

Recently had my Dads wake at TR and was very pleased with the prices per head, quality of the food and overall location in the pub to keep it fairly private. I would recommend it if you’re planning a function. Give them a try.

Popped in today for some lunch for the first time. Only ever had a drink before. But can safely say it does NOT disapoint!!! It may be Marstons but the menu is completely not Marstons. Loads of home made and fresh items to choose from. Not like the normal frozen, microwaved, and deep fried rubbish you get in other pubs. Took my mum for lunch and she had the fresh made pizza. I had the fantastic filled yorkshire pudding with minted lamb, vegetables, and home made chips. The portions was more than enough. Staff where friendly and very welcoming. Will be returning with friends and family very soon. Thank you!!!!

Living in the area I have been here multiple times, tonight I decided to pop in with my sister for some of the worst food ever, I'm not sure if they have changed chefs but I have never ever tasted anything like it, the food was hard and come with things missing when I asked I was told sorry we haven't got none, would of been nice to know that before I ordered, chips just tasted like oil, hard peas, lumpy mash and cold sausages. Will not be popping in again.

Sunday lunch was Beautiful, really lovely food, very well presented and was a lovely dinner, the lamb is so good

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and very welcoming. Fully recommend if your in the area

Lovely pub, lovely staff, unfortunately did not get what we paid for. It was our wedding, our room was hired out, so had customers at our wedding shouting and screaming at TV football match. Service appalling. Food was incorrect. No appologies no refund disused took our money and ran do not use if more than 8people wanting food. All pre ordered so no reason to be such a shambles. Our Wedding day and did not get our Dance or music, and had to put up with shouting and swearing. But worse was the mistake with Food.. and management didn't show their face

I think this is a fantastic pub a great atmosphere with some great people too the food is always nice and service is fantastic the owners are very welcoming and hospitable. I would recommend going on a Sunday when they have their roast dinners on because they are delightful the one I recommend the braised minted lamb as it is delightful and the owner's have great taste in football

Ordered the minted pie on the special board, was very cold when arrived, sent it back and 5 minutes later after being microwaved it didn’t look at all good so left it

Einer riesen Spaß gehabt. Richtig gute nette Leute. Sonntags ist immer Quiz abend z.b.s. Musik Quiz. u.s.w Das muss man mal erleben

Great food. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit

Lovley pub 1st time had food here and best onion rings I ever had steak was spot on chef needs a raise

Went here for the first time for a bite to eat and it did not disappoint, had braising steak ,mash and veg . It was really tasty and plenty to fill staff were really friendly and polite thankyou for a lovely experience

We had a wake here a couple of weeks ago, just a room with some tables pushed to the side with chairs, we couldn't even sit all together. The buffet was an absolute insult! We should have had hot food in our package which we queried on the day, the lady behind the bar said you've got pizza... Cold and congealed pizza does not class as hot food! Then they brought us a bowl of discusting greasy chips, hot food complete.... Definitely would not use again and will not be recommending to anyone I would score them a minus if possible We did not get mozzarella sticks or any chicken goujons We had cobs, packet sausage rolls, cocktail sausages and scotch eggs, cold pizza, chips, the deserts and tea and coffee. Definitely not worth £240 I stand by my review!

Fantastic meal and great price will certainly come again

Food was good although a wider pudding list would have been nice. All in a good experience. Would go again😜

This is my local and it serves simple home cooked food which we like. It isn't fancy but is reasonably priced and decent portions.

Service was slow due to lack of staff, but the staff that were on were brilliant 😁

I like the travellers, it's cosy and has good area outside but the fact I just got charged £4.05 for a lime and lemonade is a joke.

Had a lovely tasty meal Friday and was just like my own Home cooked 😋

Food was absolutely delicious and hot staff very helpful and well priced we will be back very soon

Just had an amazing lunch here! Roast dinners were amazing. Lovely atmosphere too! My mum lived in this pub as a child! Will definitely be returning! Thank you

Great food. Steak Pie and chips top notch

Sunday lunch is fantastic I recommend the minted lamb always eat everything and I’m fussy the staff can’t do enough for you always friendly and polite the only downside was the heating wasn’t on and it was a cold day but Charlie said she would sort that

Nice pub friendly and warm staff are great

Absolutely beautiful home cooked food and a very friendly atmosphere defo be back .

Good fish and chips, friendly chap behind the bar. Will go again.
