The Willowbrook in Nottingham

Friendly staff ,just needed a quiet pint

We went for two small Sunday dinners me and my wife and was very disappointed as we have had quite a few meals there over the last few weeks we had two small Sunday dinners a few weeks ago which I had recommended to some of my friends but today we was let down by the portions on the plate by alot compared to the other week plus we was not offered pigs in blankets plus they were no cauliflower cheese to be honest for what we paid we might as well go for a carvery now on somewhere else sorry to say that but we feel badly let down

Very good food and service was welcoming.

First time here, enjoyed, Friendly will go again.

Great value home made foods you won't find any ready meals served in here x

Expensive coffee, but nice. Beer etc £ OK.

Had a really lovely meal lovely and hot well present, fish was superb, the staff were friendly. Thankyou for looking after us all. Will be back

We had my mum's wake at The Willowbrook 2 weeks ago. The staff were amazing and accommodating to all our needs. A very special thank you to Debbie, who was in charge of the buffet! The food was fresh and delicious. We can't thank you enough for making a sad day go so smoothly.

Been here for breakfast a few times now, always an enjoyable meal, good deal on the breakfasts as well. Large 2 for £12 Small 2 for £10. When I went on Saturday we found it very loud and hard to hear the whole party talk. Food took over 45 minutes as well because they were busy.

Went in Christmas eve. Door staff very nice and welcoming. Bar staff very savy and great. The customers very nice and welcoming.

Was very quiet as went at lunch time. Had a breakfast. Was absolutely 💯 all cooked perfectly, the staff was very friendly and even put my blanket to my mobility on radiator to keep me warm. Will go again. The breakfast was good value to.2 large breakfast with tea and toast £12.00 😋 BARGAIN. X

Great Christmas party. Staff were so helpful, service great. New chef produced a varied menu, tasty and well presented. The team made a lot of effort to ensure all 29 of us had a lovely time. Highly recommend.

Nice pub very spacious with good beers

Lovely staff lovely food toilets clean all they could improve on is trying free samples because people can't have the opportunity to try.

Excellent,, food, drinks ale Spot on!!Yeah!!

Charged £7.40 for 1 double bacardi and coke!!!!! after the barmaid pooring the wrong drink!! Absolute joke no wonder it was empty when we walked in 3/08/22 I get pub's need to make a living but this takes the isss

Great afternoon for my nieces 5th birthday. Even given a present for her birthday, top marks, thank you to all behind the bar!

All good! Pints were nice and cold and staff friendly. Can't ask for much more!!

Breakfast is good value for money and dogs are welcome

Stopped for some food, first time visiting. No car park, but one opposite that is free for 2 hours with a ticket. Food was lovely, served quickly and friendly staff. Offer GF beef and chicken burgers too! Would go again if in the area!

Great breakfast and friendly staff. Dog friendly too which is a bonus

Very good service and food. Highly recommend for food and drink . Still excellent service 👏

Nice breakfast and friendly staff

Friendly staff,good food Only bad thing is lack of parking

Perfect for a pint of great local beer. Loads of space at the back and the football was on.

Great place, friendly staff, good food decent atmosphere.

Food is excellent, homemade, and tasty. Cooked to order. House wine good value for money. Would definitely go again.

Its prices but a great pub lovely staff and very friendly they like it when we turn up and sing after a concert with carlton male choir

Had a Xmas dinner there on the 6/12th starter mains and dessert this was an absolute amazing meal with very large portions could not manage to eat it all.all thanks too Sally

Great venue, you can use the car park across the way 2 hours free parking with a ticket. Great value breakfast, tea and coffee, we have had main meals here too. Definitely recommend a visit.

Brilliant gluten free breakfast tasted amazing I ordered small but was definitely filling and lovely tasting, i will be going back whenever we go out for breakfast as it was just the best gluten free breakfast I've had in a long while.

Unprofessional service. My husbands soup was served without a spoon, when we pointed this out to the waitress, she brought a spoon,but, I would describe 'she threw it down', no apolo.long wait for the main course. Roast dinner, pork was fatty, veg soggy and overcooked, watery gravy. Very disappointed. Definitely would not return.

Cracking gammon and eggs, well cooked, generous portions and served with a smile! Food was cooked very well and a short waiting time on a busy day!

Great. Home cooked breakfast at a great price. Staff very friendly and brilliant service

Good beer, good food and very friendly staff

Brilliant breakfast. You can't go wrong with 2 large breakfasts for £10 with bottomless tea or coffee

The best vegetarian breakfast around and fantastic value for money especially with the meal deal. The staff are friendly providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Went for breakfast with friends, 4 meals with drinks £20, fab food and a lovely atmosphere, or new to go to place to go.

Food was excellent and the bar staff was awesome 👌would recommend highly!! Dawn from Florida.

Great staff good selection of real ales

Great breakfast today.Compliments to the chef👍6 stars

Great breakfast at a great price . Would come back again

Great Sunday dinner,good breakfast.

Amazing food service friendly luvd dogs. Excellent

Loved it had a live band great music 🎶 good day out enjoyed 😉

The pub was really busy but the people wanting drinks didn't have to wait long for them. We were a party of 22 for a family birthday celebration in the function room. It was brilliantly decorated with the balloons and banners we had provided and the table ,cutlery and glasses were laid out in very professional manner. Cannot praise the staff highly enough for their service and friendly efficient manner. The food was everything we could have asked for and cooked really well. Therefore special praise for the chef. If you want to celebrate then The Willowbrook is the place to go.

Had a great night, lovely pub, nice cider, good friendly atmosphere.

I was the gentlemen bitten by a dog, I can confirm I’m absolutely fine, and the staff were brilliant. I 100% recommend going here.

Feels like a local, bar staff are talkative, can have a laugh with them and look after you. I've been going in the WB for years and it's a second home to me.

Sunday afternoon 27/3 Castle Rock Harvest Pale was excellent, sadly what concerns me a lad was bit around the lip by a quite a big dog, those with the dog disappeared quite quickly after talking to a member of staff out the front, the youth left for hospital in a car holding his mouth with a bloody rag? I would be interested to know of this lads condition is? No police where called?

Absolutely superb breakfast and at 2 for £10 you simply cannot go wrong. Everything was cooked very well and served with a smile. The sausages were q particular highlight and I'd recommend the food to anyone. Thanks all!

Not up to usual standard and service was terrible , tables left dirty and not cleared away , service very slow and Sunday dinner seemed to be frozen roast potatoes, never use to be , and Yorkshire puddings have been scaled down

Pizza was superb. Had the Korean pizza and the portion size was fabulous as was the flavour. Absolutely recommended to anyone in the area!

We had a Bob beat cancers butt, birthday bash and fund raiser last night and we want to thank Sam and all her excellent staff for being so obliging and made our event go smoothly!! The pizzas were excellent and everyone commented on them!! Thank you to Sam and Co!!!!Excellent customer focus and they delivered!!! Xxxx

Went in for drinks to watch a Euro football match. As always impeccable service and a great range of real ales. Thankfully there were no what i would call 'jobsworth' staff at this establishment. Just staff that were happy to help and create a relaxed environment - the kind that used to be prevalent pre Covid restrictions. Thanks to all.

We had my dad's wake at the willowbrook this afternoon I must say we were extremely satisfied and impressed the food was lovely staff very polite and helpful highly recommended

We came for drinks the other day . The staff and service was fantastic and such a lovely environment.

Took my daughter for lunch in the week. The weather was terrible but we got to sit at the rear of the pub. It was all covered over with loads of heaters to keep us warm. 100% recommend 👍🏼

Staff are beyond incompetent and rude, whereas management proudly allow racial comments and homophobic slurs to be made freely. Do not visit!

What an awful place,this place isn't worth your time go somewhere else, rude and offensive staff and terrible service.

Solía ser un habitual aquí antes del cierre y pensé en regresar y mostrar apoyo para un negocio local.Absolutamente espantoso. Sentado en un pub casi vacío, el personal charlando en el bar y ignorándome. Me levanté para llamar su atención y me pidieron que volviera a sentarme y alguien tomaría mi pedido. Finalmente pude pedir un gran desayuno, pero ojalá no me hubiera molestado. Los cubiertos y las tazas de té estaban lejos de estar limpios y el tocino tenía al menos 3 tonos diferentes de púrpura y no era comestible.Las salchichas también eran insípidas. Dejé la mayor parte de la comida y salí del pub. Ciertamente no volveré. Sin ambiente y personal desinteresado. Sin puntos positivos en absoluto. Es una pena que solía ser un gran lugar para reunirse con amigos.

4 en punto el sábado por la tarde, me quedé parado en el libro de facturación del covid durante 10 minutos mientras 5 empleados estaban charlando 1 limpiando una bomba, deberíamos habernos ido, pero habíamos tomado 2 autobuses y viajamos a la mitad de Nottingham para estar aquí, era el cumpleaños de mi hijo, el pub estaba vacío, pocos afuera, finalmente me acerqué para registrarme, ya lo había hecho, le pregunté si podía mirar para ver qué mano sacaba la cerveza en el bar, tenía que ir y preguntarle a alguien si podía tomar los 10 pasos más o menos más allá del punto de inicio de sesión para mirar los clips de la bomba, eso fue un no, el pub estaba vacío, así que ella me dijo las cervezas, mi elección Elise Mo estaba limpiando, solo dame una cerveza de mano , su superventas y sidra de frutas.Me temo que he intentado apoyar a estos pubs y cualquier visita a un pub de Castle Rock hace que fluya mi jugo, esta nueva normalidad no funciona para mí, no me he perdido muchos sábados por la noche o domingos por la tarde en los últimos 37 años, pero lo llamo un día. Preferiría quedarme, simplemente no vale la pena molestarse, también en mi opinión, probablemente la muerte de la cerveza real, ¿cuál es el punto de hacer todas estas maravillosas cervezas diferentes si no puedes ver qué hay en la barra que te guste?

I got there and my mates had already got me a drink. We waited 1 hour and nobody came to take our order even though it wasn’t busy! Very annoyed. As they served the table next to us but not our table

Había escuchado cosas buenas de la familia, así que apareció con mi familia y mis padres para comer.El lenguaje grosero de alguien en el bar que gritaba improperios fue un gran no no para nosotros, así que fuimos rápidamente al otro lado, a comer. mi padre se puso a tomar las bebidas y se sorprendió físicamente por lo que escuchó.Pero lamentablemente ese lenguaje asqueroso continuó. Supongo que la persona es regular. Pero escuchar un flujo constante de la palabra c y f es simplemente inaceptable en un restaurante familiar.Mis dos adolescentes estaban realmente asustados ya que la persona que juraba parecía borracha y agresiva. abiertamente llamando a la gente palabras groseras ¡Pero nadie hizo nada! Se paró cerca de la puerta para que no pudiéramos evitarlo a él ni al idioma.¿Seguramente otros encontrarán esto molesto?Realmente no es divertido ni aceptable. Esperaba que la gerencia hiciera algo, pero durante el tiempo que estuvimos allí, empeoró.Si un lugar quiere atraer a la familia, debe pensar cuán mal se refleja en el negocio dejar que eso continúeNo volveremos a usar el lugar

Visitamos aquí con la familia: hay un gran jardín / área al aire libre, pero absolutamente ninguna sombra, lo que fue decepcionante, dado nuestro enfoque en la sol y mi piel clara. Almorzamos aquí, pedí el pescado y fue realmente decepcionante, no había nada bueno, pero las hamburguesas y Gamon ordenadas por otros fueron bien recibidas.

Estuve en Bread and Bitter up Mapp Top y pensé que este lugar era el mismo, pero desafortunadamente no tiene el mismo ambiente acogedor y después de recibir una pinta en un vaso sucio, el caballero me lo cambió, pero desafortunadamente el segundo vaso estaba igualmente sucio, así que ciertamente no quería para probar cualquier comida en este establecimiento.

The breakfast here is amazing, top quality and great value for money with 2 for a tenner on large breakfast or 2for £7,50 for regular the coffee is gorgeous too x

Visited on a busy Friday evening with a large group of 8.we all ordered different dishes,all arrived at the same time and all dishes were delicious along with being nice sized portions! We will definitely be back.compliments to the chef 👩‍🍳

Just moved to the area so I thought I would sample a few in the local real ales pub. The pint of Timothy Taylor's landlord was absolutely fool by far the worst I've every tasted.

Went there this evening and the gluten free range of food was great, spoilt for choice really. They also have a wide range of vegetarian meals so all our party could enjoy something from the menu. Great atmosphere and Dog and child friendly place. front and rear gardens for outdoor seating too

Como un verdadero fanático de la cerveza que también disfruta de buena calidad, comida honesta de pub, encuentro que el Willowbrook es difícil de superar. Hay una cerveza Castle Rock para todos los gustos y el personal es amable y servicial. Solo la mazorca de chips hace que valga la pena una visita, con pedazos dorados cortados a mano que se desbordan de la mazorca grande. . . . chipcob - a - licious! !

Primera visita después de pasar por toda mi vida. Nunca pensé entrar antes hasta hoy. Qué delicia. Platos principales 2 por 10 de los cuales consistían en 4 onzas de hamburguesa con queso en bollo de brioche, papas fritas y ensalada (que era extremadamente fresca y crujiente en un aderezo ligero) y Whitby Scampi, papas fritas, guisantes blandos y ensalada (nuevamente muy fresca en una luz aderezo) rematado con una taza de té para dos. El proyecto de ley totalizó 11. 80 y fue la mejor hamburguesa que he probado en mucho tiempo. Gran ambiente y personal amable. Probaré el desayuno la próxima vez.

excellent food here.nice friendly staff.nothing too much trouble.good selection of food & drinks.good service here.

Decepcionado al descubrir que fumar en el jardín trasero de la cerveza ahora es común. Visité algunas veces durante el período de Semana Santa y descubrí que 2 de cada 3 personas fumaban en el jardín trasero. El personal vino y recogió vasos, pero nadie dijo nada a los fumadores. El lunes de Pascua, los ceniceros estaban en todas las mesas afuera en el jardín trasero. No hay letreros en el exterior que digan que no se fume, solo uno en la puerta del invernadero al salir. ¿Puede Willowbrook confirmar que el jardín trasero es una zona libre de humo o no? Si es posible, se puede hacer más para evitar que las personas lo hagan como el personal que supervisa el jardín más de cerca

Lovely breakfast, quick service & friendly staff what more could you want? Good value for money with 2 breakfasts for £10 and refill tea/coffee.

Almuerzo de Navidad para el U 3 Un viejo gruñón puede ser un desafío, pero todos estábamos satisfechos con el lugar y la comida.

My first time visit, went with Daughter, Son In Law, His sister and Hubby. 5 of us for Breakfast, Saturday 3/11/18. Lovely venue, Great Breakfast, quantity with Quality. A rare thing. Would recommend as could not find fault with anything at all. Word of warning, we got in around 9.30 AM, don`t leave it any later, got very full very quickly, people wanting table before you leave and before staff can clear away. No fault with very pleasant staff it`s just that the place is so popular. We ALL enjoyed it. My delicious Breakfast plate was left completely bare. Says it all really.

Absolutely top quality breakfast. I regularly drink in The Willowbrook but have not eaten in here for some years. Went this morning and it was absolutely faultless and served with a smile. Absolutely needed after a manic day yesterday Top marks!!

Great quality food and good sized portions, good deals if in a pair. Gets quite busy on a Saturday morning but has a great atmosphere. Shame they have changed the veggie sausages supplier as that would have tipped to a 5 star rating :-)

Realmente me encantaba venir aquí para una buena comida a un precio razonable. Solía ​​haber un tablero de especialidades interesantes. Ahora es un menú del molino con un par de adiciones demasiado costosas y aburridas al menú. Por lo tanto, vamos por el gammon y el huevo con patatas fritas y guisantes porque sabemos que es fresco y seguramente no puede salir mal. ¡Cierto! No es nada emocionante, pero si tienes hambre y quieres sentarte con una pinta decente, este es el lugar para estar.

Llevé a mi esposa a cenar después de estar ausente durante 11 días. Mi elección original de la hamburguesa Willowbrook estaba agotada, así que ofrecieron algo similar para una de las otras hamburguesas, pero en vez fui por Fish & Chips, que era encantador. Mi esposa tenía papa chaqueta con chile y queso. Ambos disfrutamos nuestra comida. Su cerveza Speckled Hen también fue muy agradable.

Lamentablemente no tengo evidencia fotográfica ya que no estaba presente, pero mi hijo recibió una pizza esta noche, la parte inferior de la base estaba cubierta de moho. Sintiéndose enfermo en este punto, no hizo el alboroto que debería haber hecho y se lo engañaron al no pagar por ello y beber para sus amigos. Si hubiera estado allí habría conservado la evidencia e instigado una queja adecuada. Si esto es una indicación de los estándares de la cocina, lo evitaría a toda costa. Tomaré esto con la oficina central

El personal es muy bueno y servicial ya que mi amigo pidió pollo y ella dijo que era picante; entonces preguntamos si podría tener algo más y estaban felices de cambiar. La comida estaba buenísima; la botella de vino costaba 18 libras; el entaintenment fue fabuloso sobre todo noche fantástica volveré x

Great local pub and the food is fantastic. We had a 3 course Sunday dinner today great food and value for money highly recommend we will be back very soon. 👍🏽

Went for Burns Night and wasn’t disappointed. Food outstanding, great flavours, presentation and lots of it! Definitely recommend this place.

Tuvimos un desayuno. Por cinco dólares, simplemente no puedes vencer esto. Las porciones estaban muy bien, más que suficiente, hacía mucho calor, tanto té / café como puedes beber.

Excellent , never fails to impress and fill, lovely food generous portions and great service, this is where me and my hubby go for our date time, day or night lovely atmosphere and excellent service.

A Castle Rock pub with 5 of their own and as many other real ales with good turn over. Interesting little menu too. Unpretentious, plenty of room low key but friendly pub.

I must admit I enjoy going to the willowbrook, it has a good environment and it's great seeing the local community use this place to socialise.

Called in for lunch after a morning walking through Gedling Country Park. We found the place to be pretty quiet apart from a few ladies with sleeping babies having coffee. I ordered a fish finger sandwich and my husband a cottage pie. The food was quick to arrive and was hot and tasty. My husband's pie portion was very filling and my fish finger butty was really nice as it was fresh battered fish rather than breaded as I expected. We were both really full after and languished around longer than we expected in order to put off the inevitable up hill walk back home. In summery the Willowbrook is a bright and airy pub, with good food and service and an extensive selection of real ales to please any CAMRA member.

Great start to a morning. Lovely breakfast. Nice, clean and well presented. Staff were nice. They offer a brilliant gluten, wheat and whey free option for those with allergies. They've done a great job and redoing the place.

Visited as friend of the family booked a table for 10 for food and drinks bar man who helped our knew his knowledge and gave choice for the beer range food wise I ordered bangers and squeak which was really nice the atmosphere for a huge boxing fight was amazing would go back

Buena selección de cervezas. La comida es buena. Patatas fritas son geniales. No hay aparcamiento, así que ten cuidado. Servicio de comida era eficiente y educado.

Este pub es genial, la comida es muy agradable y el ambiente es siempre bueno. Es tan decepcionante que de todas las bombas tienen nunca hay cualquier cerveza negra o porteros, especialmente en el invierno. Aparte de que es un pub.

A crowd of us arrived here yesterday evening after a "mix up of dates" at the local italian. The staff quickly made room and looked after us. The food was tasty and good value and the atmosphere was superb. Thank you for a super evening.

We visited the willowbrook as a party of 26 after being let down by another venue. They couldn't have been more helpful putting tables together for us, taking orders for drinks and food at the table and sorting out individual bills. This was all done on a Saturday evening when the pub was already busy.The food was good and served hot, not easy when it all came out at the same time and obviously hadn't been pre-ordered. They made what could have been a bad experience into a good evening for all.

Visited today for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. All 7 of us agreed the food was excellent. No Aunt Bessie's here! And lots of clean plates. Generous portions of home cooked, tasty food. My son had nuggets which again were homemade. The staff were professional, helpful, welcoming and friendly.

Came here with my husband and grandson for dinner. The adult meals can't complain about the portions are very big.When it comes to the selection of child's meals they seem a bit odd.Fish and Chips Sausage's and Mash - that's ok Mushroom pasta Salad not sure how many children like salad.What would be more suitable would be fish fingers, chicken nuggets, pizza and tomato based pasta.I ordered the fish and chips which was nearest to fish fingers and my grandson did not eat it. The portion was far too big.

Went to come lunch with family having been here for a lovely meal the other week, unable to park so had to go somewhere else to eat. Disappointed. Don't go if you ate in a car or planning on driving

Stopped off after a long bike ride for a drink and a sandwich. I ordered the Willowbrook sandwich. This is a toasted sandwich with salad chicken bacon egg etc. The sandwich was excellent with tasty fresh ingredients. The problem with it it was too big for me but my brother who was with me didn't hesitate to finish it off. Nice fries also and no hint of them being greasy. Thank you
