We came for a special date night to celebrate our anniversary. We had drinks on the terrace which was lovely, service was slow however we were quite relaxed about it. We were just a little underwhelmed by the food, I think because historically the place has had such a good reputation we were expecting more. It is sad that this place has closed but based on our experience we probably wouldn't have returned.

Went here for a lunch while we were in Nottingham and we had a wonderful time. Service was excellent 👌 and the food was lovely, sorry to hear that you're closing for good but I'm very glad we made it before that. Thank you!

Was in Nottingham this week and had lunch there. I had crispy chicken for starters, which was amazing. The flavours were on point. The main was a bit disappointing after the crispy chicken. Halibut was a bit overcooked and a bit dry but definitely fresh. The pineapple dessert was amazing. Love their non-achoholic drinks so much! Such a pity that they are closing. I'm glad i could taste their dishes.

Everything was excellent as always. Been visiting since they opened. Fantastic over the last 24 years. My absolute favourite place in Nottingham for lunch, dinner, occasions with family & friends. Absolutely gutted, will be missed! Dan, John & all the team are & have been legends over the years. Glad we got to go one last time. So very sad, I know it was a very difficult decision. Good luck & all the best to you all! ❤️

In Nottingham for a day at the cricket and a traditional night before at the World Service. Always consistently good, interesting wine list, great flavours and innovative dishes. Evening was nice and warm, so had drinks on their terrace first. Excellent cheese selection, catered for my wife's diabetes at short notice, and I had an excellent Rib Eye with an amazing Jus. Pick up from a note at the bottom of the wine list that they are closing permanently in August - a sad loss for us and for Nottingham. How it is that a town as varied and populated as Nottingham cannot sustain a quality restaurant such as this is concerning. Thank you for great memories

Not bad but not great, if you’ve eaten at high end restaurants this doesn’t quite match up. Some of the flavours are amiss- the cod cheeks with a “red Thai” sauce was too citrusy and a bit of a smack in the face to Thai cuisine to be honest. The white onion veloutee was way too sweet and needed to balanced with something else. The crispy chicken was the shining attraction. As for the mains the steak was seriously poor, and on the whole flavours just felt lacking across the board. While this is critical it is not to say it was unenjoyable it just missed the mark in a few too many areas when you consider value for money. Style over substance I’m afraid.

We visited on Saturday for which was meant to be a memorable and celebratory final meal at our favourite fine dining restaurant. We have been visiting once or twice a year for over 20 years and have always loved the restaurants inclusive welcome and impeccable service. We were pretty devastated to hear of the restaurant closure so decided to return for one last time. Unfortunately our experience was very disappointing due to a distinct lacking in the usual gold standard service. Our experience was marred from the beginning, as on arrival we were left for 25 minutes without even being offered a drink. Another couple came in after us and were served straight away so we we were already feeling rather invisible. The food itself was good but not amazing. We both chose the rib eye which was fine but lacked the usual contrast of flavours. After ordering our wine we again felt invisible when our glasses were left empty because our waitress was talking to the couple behind us for 40 minutes. We therefore eventually had to ask another waiter to serve us the wine which we could see, but not access. Not exactly the experience you want when paying in excess of £80 per head. Unfortunately, our invisibility seemed to continue when the waiter asked us if we wanted desserts but never returned with the menu. After waiting a considerable amount of time we finally gave up and asked for the bill, which was brought but the waiter never returned with a card machine. Eventually my husband had to physically get up to find a member of staff to pay. There were no apologies for any of the poor service and we genuinely felt that no one cared, focusing good service towards the regulars. Furthermore, when leaving I said thank you and bye, but was completely ignored. It does feel somewhat pointless writing this review as the restaurant is closing, and this was clearly reflected in the attitudes of the staff. Needless to say if the restaurant was not closing we would probably not return anyway as we felt bitterly disappointed with our experience, and that our hard earned cash would have been far more appreciated elsewhere.

We recently celebrated a birthday at the World Service restaurant and the food and drinks were lovely. I had the watermelon starter and it was amazing! Packed with flavour and looked vibrant and beautiful too. All the dishes we had were cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. I always love the little touches like the homemade bread with freshly whipped butter made with curry - I know, sounds weird but was very good. They also remembered it was my partner's birthday and even though he didn't order dessert they brought out a lovely decorated plate with a truffle with a candle, funny and thoughtful at the same time. Definitely recommend Works Service, for great food and excellent service!

We visited here for lunch last weekend for an anniversary meal. A lovely time from the beginning to end. This place isn’t just about incredible food but the experience too. Starting with a cocktail just outside and moving indoors for our meal. We had the 3 course lunch deal and it was perfect with great value for money. The beef in particular was some of the best we’ve ever had. Finished our meal with coffee and we received a lovely happy anniversary decorated plate. Staff were incredible and paid high attention to detail, very friendly but left you to it. We used a gift voucher that some friends brought us but would return again ourselves given our very pleasant experience.

We were fully content with the dishes we had in World Service restaurant. We loved its ambience which set the tone for the overall dining experience. The fillet of beef was utterly delicious which is not an overstatement. Butternut squah terrine was creative and varied. As a side dish we also ordered triple cooked chips with smoked garlic and parmesan. I am not a big fan of chips in general however that one caught my attention and I enjoyed every single piece. Portions are tiny here as they are in most fine-dining restaurants. The only thing we did not like was the concept of service charge. It does not allow for an individual reward which might be a higher percentage point that the service charge itself. Yet, the overall culinary experience was worth it!

Last week I got married and we had a meal at the World Service in the Tallard room. The room was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and attentive. In the bar before our meal we were served canapes. I'm coeliac (gluten-free) and the staff gave me a separate canape, which was very accommodating and thoughtful. The food during the meal was wonderful. Again, the gluten-free options were great. I really enjoyed the beef. The wine we had was lovely and the lady, who served us, did a great job topping up everyone's drinks. Thank you world service for the tasty food, great drinks and excellent service.

Not one person asked if he was ok after this all happened, unbelievable really. We did complain but was told “we will look after you next time you come in for a meal” we were regulars but NO THANKS! *****Reply**** I haven’t said it was over the festive period? and the staff were well aware of this at the time it happened!

A nice location and as advertised expensive. But beware it is 2 restaurants in one. We had pre dinner drinks upstairs near a glossy buzzing restaurant. Very surprised to be led to a basement room for our meal. It had no atmosphere and 1 other table of 4. Waitress tried hard but if we had known we would have gone elsewhere for a Saturday night atmosphere. Our basement restaurant more Sunday hotel breakfast space.

Visited in Feb 2020, the service was great but the food was average at best and tasted reheated. I wanted to give the place another go because of the hype so we visited last night but unfortunately, it was much of the same. The food was average, quite bland and needed a fair bit of salt to be added. Have had better at a chain pub! The cocktails didn’t taste like there was much alcohol in them at all, and it took 25 minutes for our final drink to arrive. Front of house were about to let us walk out before we reminded them that we still had to pay. There is nothing “wrong” with world service, but I don’t understand the hype and it just isn’t worth the money. If I want average food, I’ll go to a chain pub. If I want fine dining, I’ll go to Sat Bains (granted a different experience, but worth paying for).

Went here as a special occasion for my wife’s birthday. I must say it was very disappointing for the price of this meal. The highlight of the meal was the canopies which we received with the drinks at the start, they were delicious. Both starters were pretty bland, and then the absolute joke of the evening was the celeriac main course. Priced at £24, my wife received three tiny pieces of celeriac and a small portion of kale. I could not believe this was a main course, it was tiny. The manager apologised and offered to remove the cost from the bill, but it was not the point. This was supposed to be a special meal out and was tainted by the experience of such a pathetic offering and pretty tasteless food. It was such as shame as the setting is lovely and waitress service was excellent. It is not a place we will be going back to unfortunately.

We went to World Service for our anniversary, and had a wonderful time. The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was impeccable. Sarah and the supervisor (we didn't catch her name unfortunately) were brilliant in particular. They indulged us on our questions about the venue and really made us feel welcome. The food was great, even the bread and butter were lovely and clearly crafted with care and attention. Throughout our meal, the service was attentive without being obtrusive, and everyone was polite and courteous. We were very well looked after and will 100% be back to try out the menu as it changes. Worth every penny.

World Service: Where Culinary Dreams Take Flight!✈️ Embarking on a culinary escapade at World Service felt like entering a portal to flavor heaven! 🌅🌍🍽️ The menu, a masterful tapestry of tastes, promises a journey your taste buds won't soon forget. From the amuse-bouche to the grand finale, each dish was a carefully orchestrated symphony of flavors that danced across the palate. 👯♂️ Compliments to the chef's mastery, who turned the ordinary into the extraordinary, leaving me in awe with every forkful. The ambiance? Picture this: a perfect blend of sophistication and warmth🥰. It's where fine dining meets comfort, creating an atmosphere that elevates the entire experience. 🕯️✨ Now, let's talk service. It wasn't just impeccable; it was a performance. The staff waltzed around with grace, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our plates were whisked away with ninja-like precision. 🥷🕴️🍷 Special mention to Katie who made our night extra special👏💫 World Service isn't just a restaurant; it's a gastronomic adventure, a celebration of flavors that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves you yearning for an encore. Five stars feel like an understatement; this place deserves a galaxy of accolades! 🌟🌌 #FoodieUtopia

After some amazing meals at World Service today was disappointing. No attention to detail. Garlic butter given to someone with a garlic allergy, a main course that was cold and one of the desserts that had an element that had accidently had salt not sugar added- clearly not checked by the chef. Not what should be expected from such a high end restaurant. One positive, the waitress service couldn't be faulted, just a shame others were not up to the standard expected.

This was our first visit to World Service and certainly won't be our last. Right from the moment you step through the door you are greeted warmly by the amazing staff and either shown to your table or offered the opportunity to have a drink in the lovely lounge area. We had Sunday lunch and had 3 courses all of which were beautifully presented and tasted even better! The beef in particular was absolutely gorgeous and melt in the mouth and anyone who can make me enjoy cabbage deserves a medal! We absolutely loved our experience at this beautiful restaurant and will definitely be back soon thank you!

Let me say firstly I’m a huge fan of fine dining, quality over quantity every time. Secondly I absolutely loved World Service from my days working in Nottingham, so was excited to come back after a number of years for a special dinner for four. We were however sadly very disappointed when we went last Thursday. Starters - (two of us tried smoked eel for £15) one tiny piece of eel, the size of a first class stamp(the ones with a bar code) gone in one mouthful. Mains - Three of us had monkfish (£34!!) Luke warm and rubbery fish- very small portion and cold veg - the only nice thing- the side of teriyaki potatoes. Our vegetarian in the party enjoyed theirs but one in four isn’t good. Visit to the loo, and paper towels overflowing, broken hand dryer and the once immaculate now scruffy and tired wc - didn’t help. Sorry

Lovely dining room at the front which I haven't been in before. I really enjoyed the decor, although there could have been more Christmas decorations as we were there for our Xmas do. I have eaten here over the past 20years but don't feel like the food is as good or unique as it used to be. Plus the portion sizes appear to be a lot smaller. Also absolutely terrible Vegetarian and Vegan options as some of our group don't eat meat or dairy. Won't be returning too soon.

Not really one for writing reviews as I generally say my piece at the time. (Which I did). However, I feel as this is a fairly pricey place I want to say something.. Upon arrival we had a glass of champagne each and then served with an Amouse-bouche (the poncey name for an appetizer where I come from). All nice so far. We ordered our meals and then escorted to our table. Some nice sourdough and fancy butter was served. Again nice. Starters came.. hubby scallops..me pork belly. Scallops were nice according to him across the table. Pork belly....bland and burnt was my only way to describe. But at the size of a large postage stamp it was gone before I could pass comment. Onto the mains... duck for the husband and fillet steak for me. First off the food was luke warm. The duck was served pink so the fat hasn't been rendered down and it was 2 slices from the breast not the whole breast. The fillet at first was tender but again just 2 slices not an actual steak. By the second slice it had become dry as by now it was borderline cold. Side order of broccoli which was over cooked not al dente. Red wine came in cheap white wine glasses (attention to detail here). Once we had finished we were rushed from our table with a bit too much haste. We sat in the bar area and noticed there were a lot of groups waiting to be seated. My take away was far too many covers for this level of dining and needs to re-up it's game. *note they did give us discount upon my feedback.

Quality of food was unquestionable, but we were waiting for our table for a long time. Service at the table was excellent but my starter of Leek valoute with smoked haddock was very disappointing: a 1 cm cube of smoked haddock & a ball of something else did not qualify as a starter. My main was short rib of beef & boy was it short: 3 inches long and half an inch width & depth. Very tasty but less than a starter portion which included a small carrot & a tiny amount of onion. The dessert was good. Wine was good but expensive. Value for money was very disappointing. If you have money to burn go as quality is good, but plan time to go for a take away afterwards or you will go to bed hungry

A warm welcome followed by excellent service throughout. Started with an aperitif from a very wide ranging drinks menu. I fancied a very dry sherry, but couldn't find it on the drinks menu, so ordered something else. Found sherry later on the wine list! Odd. The food started very well with excellent first courses, and continued with the excellently cooked mains. It was just as well we ordered a side dish of potatoes, as the main dishes did not stand sufficiently by themselves. The potatoes were very tasty, drenched in teriyaki sauce and sesame seed, but unfortunately overpowered the other ingredients on the plate. I opted for the cheese course instead of a desert with a supplement of £5. This was a very deflating end to an otherwise good experience. Three tiny slices of not particularly interesting cheeses, six grapes, nine shop bought crackers and a dollop of red pepper puree was frankly a severe disappointment to an otherwise generally good experience. The fixed price menu is good value for money though. We both enjoyed the bottle of Carmenere from an extensive wine list ranging in price from expensive to astronomical.

Disappointing, world service is one of our favourite restaurants however on this occasion it was very disappointing, the food lacked taste, we both had scallops to start, they were not very tasty I think they were frozen not fresh scallops, we both opted for fillet steak it looked good but again had no flavour the tastiest part of the meal was the optional Broccoli. The wine we chose was sent back as it lacked any flavour, it was deducted from the bill. However this was getting late into the evening opted for another glass of champagne not ideal but too late order another bottle of wine. The only saving grace from this being a disastrous evening were the staff who really looked after us

Disappointing. Went for my birthday. Added a note to say we were visiting for my birthday on the online booking. My husband also rang a few days before to inform them (not realising I had already mentioned the birthday). Was asked during cocktails if it was a special occasion, so told them it was my birthday. No acknowledgement what so ever. We have had a happy birthday dessert/discreet candle or lettering with dessert here before, but nothing. Given this place is the extreme end of our budget and only somewhere we go for special occasions it left us feeling deflated.

Well it's a shock to me that the quality of food, produce and service here isn't established as being one of the greatest places to eat in the East Midlands. Let alone Nottingham. Firstly the service is impeccable the staff will.know your names, and keep track of your order without asking who has what. The menu is updates seasonally and the produce is the fresh and screams decadent. The cocktails are sophisticated and plenty. I have made lots of reviews but I cannot rave about this place enough. If you want some fine dining cuisine in a beautiful setting with excellent service. Trust me this is the place. I would give this place 5 out of 5 with an extra 5 stars 🌟 Thanks for the experience.

Was here for a birthday meal. Ordered the set menu Sunday roast. Starter - Scallops - Sauce tasted like Heinz’s tomato soup and was warm at best. Main - Roast beef was good, but overall the meal was cold and the vegetables were raw. If I’m eating a meal I would expect to have a hot plate and to see the steam coming off the food. Desert - pancake was tiny and accompanying chocolate looked like a Tunnocks tea cake. Latte was so small that this wouldn’t have even satisfied a hobbit. Overall service was poor. We had to ask for sauces, cutlery, plates. Nobody asked how the meal was. For the amount I had paid, I certainly would have expected more. What disappointed me the most though was that everything was just tepid and raw from the food to the service.

No atmosphere slow service, not allowed to have your wine on the table. You have to rely on the wine waiter to realise your glass was empty. Not much in the way of food, one slice of beef two potatoes one piece of broccoli and one carrot. Total cost £146 for two people. Needless to say we will not return, very disappointed, this place seems to be trading on its past reputation.

We dined here as a party of 4, 2 couples on a Friday night 7pm, all 4 of us had the fillet steak and we all agreed it was without doubt the best steak we had ever eaten. The textures, tastes and presentation of everything we had was just incredible and the service was impeccable. For starters I had the salmon tartar which was amazing and others had scallops which they all said were the same.

Highly recommended. The food continues to be first class quality and the cocktails are certainly the best in Nottingham. Service was both friendly and attentive with nothing too much trouble. Really enjoyed being able to have a cocktail outside in the garden and sunshine before...

Had an amazing evening celebrating Mother's Day with husband and daughter. From start to finish, the service was wonderful. Food taste and presentation was just right, and the Amilfi Lemon dessert was to die for. Thank you for a perfect evening.

Not been for a few years but wanted to try it again. Great welcome and had a cocktail while choosing dinner from the menu. All the way through the meal had great service, the food was great, small portions but enough and really tasty and presented well. I said small but I could not manage a dessert.

I went for a celebratory dinner and was disappointed by the food. The venue is lovely, the staff attentive and the atmosphere fun but the food lacks taste and is really expensive. My main course was £34.00 (fish)
