The desserts are also a treat, with the "Giant Cake Slice" from the in-house dessert cabinet, such as a decadent chocolate cake, providing a sweet conclusion that impresses with both its size and flavor.

Pub with generous portions

The beverage selection complements the meals pleasantly. In addition to a choice of local and national beers that enhance the pub feeling, freshly brewed coffee is especially popular at breakfast and can be refilled unlimitedly.

I came in for the unlimited breakfast on Sunday morning and the food was really nice, can't go wrong for the price, I would definitely recommend. Paul behind the bar(think he was the manager) was friendly and helpful so was the female staff member(didn't get her name) they both was welcoming and I'll definitely be returning this Sunday. Thank you.

This was our first visit here, we came in the door from the road (not the car park) found a table and went to sit down, a lady approached us asking if we were sitting ourselves, I said yes, she told us there was a sign saying, "wait to be seated" I laughed and said we'd not seen it, she was so rude making it clear the sign was there, I didn't say it wasn't, I just said we'd not seen it, then she instructed a young lad to sit us somewhere she'd chosen. The other staff we encountered were lovely, the bar and restaurant was lovely and clean, the carvery was ok, lots of things to choose from.

Lovely pub. Popped in for dinner; my companions had carvery, and I was a little regretful that I had not done the same as it looked amazing. However, when my order of the Yorkshire pudding wrap arrived, I no longer felt any regret whatsoever. Food was delicious, staff friendly and service swift. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Went for a late afternoon carvery, not too busy for 4pm. Just sat down to eat & daughter felt faint & almost collapsed. Asked for first aider & the manager came to help. He was attentive, took my daughter & myself to the cellar so she could cool down & rest away from the pub area. He got her some chocolate to boost her sugar levels, then took us to a new table that was in a cooler area of the pub & a bit quieter. Also made sure that we were able to get fresh plates at the carvery. Couldn’t fault the service & the help of the manager Paul. Food was also lovely once we had chance to eat it! Many thanks

Manager & one member of staff had bad attitude when questioned about being over charged, everything seems to be an inconvenience to them when asked about anything even more so after they had been proven wrong about what they had charged me, it totally spoiled the experience & when talking to other customers next to our table it seems we were not the only ones the manager had attitude with, not be returning in a hurry

Carvery was okay, had to wait a while to be served though and had to ask. There are 2 different menus in the pub with different prices on, perhaps the old ones should be disposed of. Just given soft drinks, not offered ice or lemon.

If you want a cold carvery/buffet, with very slow service. Brownie desserts with no brownies. Drinks that come out when you've finished your food ,this is the place to come! Absolutely awful.

Deep fried everything and the blandest steak ever and all for £60? Staff were very apologetic and gave us free drinks and cakes

If I could give zero stars I would. Staff are helpful, but overrun. Carvery on Sunday at 6pm was (we left at quarter past) awful. Unsure if the timings were incorrect, most food was old, or fresh out of big tub… Gravy was absolutely appalling, doesn’t help it went over everything.. Also no peas on a carvery? What is this blasphemy? A waste of money!

Decent food. Service was a tad slow however. It may have just been busy with not enough staff on. Would recommend for a good spot to eat.

Disgusting service, was told they were no tables when they loads of them uncleared. In a nutshell, an absolute disgrace. Proper rude bar maid aswell. Would have given a 0 if possible.

I looked online for where the best carvery is in Nottingham, and this name came up several times. I was excited to try it out, especially for my husband who had not been to a carvery before. The food itself was very good. I got the turkey, which was very moist and tender. Others around the table got the gammon and beef, and also said it was excellent. The roast potatoes were very dry and hard, but it was the end of the evening. The only downside was the service. Particularly the tea - 2 people at our table requested the pot of tea, and the teapot was not even full. 1 of them asked the teapot to be filled even more, and it still wasn't full. The amount of tea in the cup was laughable.
