Grill bar in Nottingham

“Had a fantastic meal at Hickory’s Smokehouse in Nottingham last Saturday night with friends! The food was genuinely impressive — hands down the best BBQ I’ve had from anywhere in the UK. The meats were cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and had that authentic smoky taste that’s so hard to find done right over here unless I'm doing it on my BBQ at home!! The staff were brilliant too — super friendly, attentive, and brought a fun, relaxed vibe to the whole experience. It really made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely planning to return soon. If you’re into BBQ and haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!!”

“I came to this place with my friend on Wednesday as she has been there before and she said it was really good. So we went there and to be honest I didn’t think it was going to be that good l. However I was completely shocked how good the food was in fact I was i element eating the food. The starter nachos was amazing the nachos was proper nachos they put the right amount of cheese and sauce on. The calzone was absolutely amazing. The portion size are big portions. The staff were lovely. The owners are lovely. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone.”

“Held my late Mum's wake here. Quite a small affair, so we chose to have an area of the bar. The staff were so helpful from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and all delivered with a smile. The food was excellent and commented upon by all. Big thank you to all the staff for making it a lovely end to the day.”

“Me and my two friends came here at the end of our "Soccer Saturday challenge" We weren't disappointed, the staff were amazing, the vibes were brilliant and Solar behind the bar was an absolute star. I don't visit Nottingham often but I'll be certain to be back, this place caters for everyone and no-one is exempt. A fantastic venue. Thank you for a brilliant Saturday night”

“The food is delicious. It's a gastropub which means that the food is not the classic pub food but food of high quality. The cheap version of a fine dining cuisine and service. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is warm and the menu is simple and clear. The starters is something that you should definitely try, it is the best thing on the menu. My favourites are the following: sesame halloumi ( I could have that every single day, the honey drizzle goes so well with the sesame coated halloumi), the crayfish bisque ( a delicious luxury served in a unique way) and last but not least the arancini (delicious,delicious,delicious). The Tailors Arms has its own free parking but there is a bus stop 30 seconds away and a tram stop 2 minutes away. Wilford is a very quiet area however the Taylor's Arms is on the main road, next to the co-operative supermarket.”

“10outof10 from start to finish We went for the tasting menu which was just perfect Every dish was so delicious and well presented from the sourdough bread (the marmite butter was divine) to finish off with the waygu steak but the chicken pate was something extra.. by far the best dish I had in my life!!! Big shout out to Chris which looked after us so well and make us feel so comfortable and btw the wine he recommended us was spot on.. At the end I would like to thank chef Laurence and his team for such of lovely experience By far best meal ever !! THANKS”

“Despite being really busy they managed to seat us at a comfortable table. They advised was going to be 30 mins which we were happy at, and it was pretty much bang on 30 mins when it arrived and it was well worth the wait. The staff were very pleasant and food was spot on. First time since it had the make over but we will back again! Thank you so much.”

“16th October 2024, we visited the Old Black Horse, and it was the Wednesday Night Pie night. We had a really good night. The price was fantastic. You can also order off the normal menu. The pies are first-rate and as good as any I have tasted before. The staff are really nice being professional and very friendly at the same time. We have been a number of times and had the Carvary. This is one of the tastest I have tasted, and the price is resealable.”

“Great service from all the staff, special thanks to Corey & Charlie Food was great & reasonably priced, good choice of drinks available, a great venue for the night out, indoors or outdoors, really enjoyed watching the football here and everyone had a great time and we will definitely return”

“Absolutely brilliant pub. The landlord and landlady, jim and Kelly are lovely people who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. There is always something happening from live bands to comedy nights, quiz nights, even fitness sessions upstairs in the function room. The food menu is great and value for money. Really I dont have a bad thing to say at all.”

“*** Three spices *** Lovely food, friendly staff”

“Love this pub don't understand someone's review it's very clean great atmosphere as you can see videos on their fb page staff are amazing they go out of there way love it my favourite pub in ilson x”

“I have just spent and afternoon here raising money for the local play group and the place was good, plenty of support. I was embarrassed to win some money and returned 30 of the 50. Which was the aim of the game. Returned back to campsite a happy bunny. Excellent staff good food sunny day a great place all round.”

“The Rose and Crown is easily one of the best student pubs in Notts. The food and drinks are always spot on, and the BOGOF cocktails on Fridays and Saturdays are a huge plus. The entire team is friendly, welcoming, and always up for a laugh, making the atmosphere both comfortable and enjoyable. Sean is by far the best manager, while Tracy and Angela always look after customers and make sure everyone’s having a good time. The chefs are quick and provide some of the best pub food around, and karaoke nights are always entertaining, making it a go-to destinationw with a fun mood every time xx”

“Been coming fairly regularly since the new owners took over. Such a transformation. The owners and staff are great, super friendly and trying hard to turn the pub around. The ales are well kept and at a great price. Have had a Sunday roast (with a pint of titanic plum porter for desert.) on the first weekend and it was really tasty and good value for money, well worth a try. Also had a burger which was a big portion and tasty. Will definitely eat here again may even try the ultimate test and have the steak.”

“I went with my brother for a meal for the first time since lockdown. We both had a pizza. The pizza was superb. Fantastic food. Great polite and friendly staff. Great value for money as it was the Eat out to help out. The atmosphere was buzzing with people.”

“Mixed grill was really nice, sadly there was Asti on the drinks menu but none available. Service was good. Prices are decent with sauces etc not over priced.”

“Excellent food. We ordered three different types of kabob between us (koobideh, jujeh, and barg) and they were all the exceptional. More people should know about Persian food, and Kabob, and this is a great place to try it! Thank you.”

“My cousin's local. Guinness about £3.80 a pint. The food is amazingly good. Two fish & chips and two burger in a basket meals (Mmm.. This IS a tasty burger) for about £37. I wish I had these prices down South.”

“The vibes are immaculate in this place. One of my favourite watering holes in the whole city. Excellent service by Zak.”

“Awesome pub food, good service and great atmosphere. decore is upto date and has a desent sized car park and garden area with lots of seating to enjoy the sun and to relax in and they have a small covered seating area with heaters. Dogs are welcome in the gardens and bar area, not the eatting side though. Very happy to keep going back to this one :) they have small womens &mens toilets and a dissabled toilet to the back, with a ramp at the front doors. An outside covered bit for smokers. The price depends on if you have food and drinks, or just drinks. The staff are grate and quick to serve and sort any issues out. It can get very busy in summer or events that are happening in the area, but dont let that put you off going in.”

“Amazing food. Brilliant atmosphere. Just a proper old school pub.”

“I visited Fothergills based on the location, and also recommendations of TripAdvisor and Google. I was certainly not disappointed. The specials menu on the wall did not disappoint. Fantastic meal. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location as well, with a view of Nottingham Castle Wall. only pedestrian traffic, calm and quiet.”

“Wow brilliant Sunday roast, every part was absolutely delicious. Great service too. Look forward to going back again soon!”

“Lucia was amazing as busy as it was herself and anther tall male member of staff apologized for the delay in mine and my friends food taking a little longer than it should have. The drinks came to the table quickly and the soundings and atmosphere was delightful I’ll will most definitely be returning.”

“Everything about our experience today was excellent. Lovely open fire, attentive service from both ar staff , manager and waiting staff. The meals came hot ,were delicious and once again the service was great . Really enjoyed today and based on today's experience would definitely recommend. Thankyou .”

“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.”

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Visited for our first time last week and we will now be returning regularly, best spot for a roast in Nottingham by far. Special mention to our waitress Ruth who went above and beyond in making sure our visit was perfect! Thankyou again Ruth.”

“Great atmosphere , really good staff very welcoming,food was great to.I think it will be a great place to visit regularly in the Bakersfield , Carlton ,Gedling area .So thanks for putting a life back into it Jo and Darren hosts.”

“What a great place. We are on our way back from Scotland and discovered this gem. The hospitality and service are hard to beat. Despite the late hour, everything we had hoped for was made possible. Individual menus were put together in consultation with Jess and the team. They even asked how the dog would like his steak. We were able to park our campervans at the back of the pub. It's a really great place with a good location right next to a green space. The food was delicious and less greasy than in comparable pubs. Thank you, Jess, for everything. We hope to see you again soon. And a big thank you to the wonderful new bartender (unfortunately, I don't know her name).”
