2. the best pub food in Nottingham

“A delightfully conceived and excellently stocked gem in the heart of Ruddington. Great coffee, delicious cakes and a wide range of beers from local, national and international breweries.”

“Love it here, and so does the dog. Beer is always top quality - perfectly kept and perfectly served.”

“We didn't go wrong by choosing this place to dine at. The food is extremely well presented and very, very tasty. Staff is awesome, very helpful at all times. Prices are fair, restaurant is clean and very spacious. Recommended.”

“Oh my goodness this place is AMAZING! The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are so nice, the food... Portions are big but not too big, the sides are delectable and the brisket and flat iron steak? *Chefs kiss* The brisket melts in your mouth, with a perfect peppery crust, the flat iron was just the right amount of chew and the flavours were so good, I ended up doing my happy dance! The gravy with the brisket upgrade was beautiful. I think we encountered paradise with this meal. We went in because we were hungry and hadn't eaten properly since we got to the area yesterday, and we are SO glad we did. Thank you so much for existing and making my partner's birthday a bit more special than we expected.”

“The Junction is a fabulous and friendly pub serving great food and a variety of great beers. Recently refurbished, the main room and function room look fantastic. The staff are all mega friendly and its always a pleasure to visit. Great menu, this little gem is well worth a visit.”

“Came here for my birthday and it was brilliant.. one person on our table has a severe allergy to nuts, and the staff were amazing. They called her before hand to ensure she had a meal that was “safe”. We also had a gluten free and vegetarian in our party and the staff where happy to stand and to though the menu with us. Thought out the night they kept coming to check on us, answering questioned we had regarding food and drink. - Food was lovely and the music was right up our street. Lillian is an asset to bistro live. Although she was working she just matched the vibe of our table, even coming over at the end of her shift to say good bye and told me to enjoy my night…”

“Proper pub with decent beer, friendly staff and a cute little beer garden. Live music on Saturday nights always has a great atmosphere.”

“We had some cocktails from the happy hour menu which were so good! The food was amazing too and the service was so friendly. Our bartender (Lauren) was so nice - we chatted to her and found out it was her first day! You would never have known, she was awesome. Chill vibes, good food, nice drinks - would more could you want ☺️”

“Borough arms is a very nice pub/club, the staff was so helpful, I would deffo go again”

“Great pub! Because the drinks are reasonable as is the food. Even better if you like to watch Nottingham Forest footy matches on the massive screen! Or other teams matches. I’m not a footy fan, but lots of people are so it’s a great location. There are other areas too, away from the match. Staff do a good job but like a lot of places these days there’s not much human engagement at all - especially if you order online. Very quick online service on a Sunday afternoon.”

“Fantastic very friendly and a delicious meal good service I would recommend.”

“had such a lovely time tonight! joanna was the loveliest waitress ever, so welcoming and comforting! the food was amazing (the mozzarella sticks are always devine!) and the drinks were tasty!”

“One of the best set menu fine dining experiences in Nottingham. It was clear on every course the detail put into the flavours and presentation. The taste was also incredible on every course and very much worth the cost. I also went away feeling decent level of full and the course pacing allowed a good amount of time to make it's a great experience. Staff were also great and attentive to dietary needs. Overall a super experience worth trying.”

“Pints before the Leeds game, excellent”

“Went for breakfast with Santa. It was set up really well and you could do things at your own pace which was good. The food selection was good with tea and coffee included. All if the staff were really lovely but Julie really went above and beyond for us :)”
