Pub in Nottingham

“Cracking pub. Good beer, friendly locals and generally classic British pub vibes. Doesn't do food as far as I can tell but look out for the live music nights and fortnightly music quiz for lively fun.”

“I had a lovely afternoon at the Dandelion having afternoon tea. The food was amazing! They cater for vegetarians and vegans too which is amazing! The staff are so lovely and welcoming!! Would definitely recommend!”

“Really nice pub with a great choice of drinks and a friendly atmosphere”

“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.”

“Delightful family run place with a fascinating selection. Ideal place for a quite drink that is not run of the mill Update Having frequented after far too long, it is so great to be reminded just how lovely this gem of a place is. The selection is still really good, and unique, the host is friendly, and the clientele is simply delightful. What isn't to like about any of that? We shall be back soon”

“Definitely loved having a family birthday meal today! Nicola was amazing, and our food was incredible worth the money, and absolutely scrumptious! Compliments to the grill chefs Kev & Lee! Absolutely made our evening!!”

“Incredibly attentive staff who presented a lot of thought care into the simplest aspects of the evening I.e table set up. Drinks were lovely and the food incredible. Highly recommend the Pork Belly starter.”

“This place is full of great atmosphere, delicious fresh food beautifully presented on the plates. Everything was fresh and full of flarour. Great choice of food, the menu has variety of everything. Lovely desserts. Great choice of drinks and moctails. Drinks and moctails are delish! All reasonable prices, including the food. The staff were absolutely great, very attentive to order details, very friendly and helpful. Despite it was very busy they were very efficient and the food was served very promptly. The atmosphere of this place is just unbelievable. It's chilled with music in the background. What it's really worth seeing if the roof garden- if you're lucky with the weather and table available there, you will soak the atmosphere of this place even more!”

“10/10 quality food, great service, good prices, big portions, tastes like home, Highly recommended!!!”

“Spoiled for choice when I went in here for the first time. I ended up with a 'chicken tikka flat bread', recommended to me by a regular, and thank you to that gent for his suggestion. Everything in the wrap was delicious with the perfect amount of filling to bread ratio. Nice coffee too, all great value and friendly staff.”

“This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Nottingham. Cosy vibes. Good quality French cuisine. Friendly service - Roman is so lovely. I always look forward to seeing what specials will be on the board. Keep doing what you are doing!”

“Since there's been a new manager the place has improved a great deal. Never once have I had a bad meal from here. The new staff and old one's are all very professional polite and always helpful. Even the food I've had on a takeaway basis has always been nice. Definitely one of my favourites in the area. They did a set meal with a band playing and was definitely my best night so far.”

“Excellent pub about 15 minutes walk from Nottingham Railway Station. Eight cask beers on handpump when I visited including a stout plus a range of real ciders. Lots of outdoor seating upstairs some of it covered. The pub is known locally as the King Billy.”

“Birthday meal with friends who were there for the first time and they definitely will be back. Great food and portion size, good range of beers and wine. For a Monday night I don't think there was a free table so glad we booked with it being for 8 of us. A real community asset.”

“I had a fantastic experience at Riley’s, and a huge part of that was thanks to Alex behind the bar. From the moment we sat down, Alex was welcoming, attentive, and clearly knows his craft. The cocktails were perfectly balanced — creative, flavorful, and made with care. He even gave great recommendations based on what we usually like, and every choice was spot on. The food was just as impressive — fresh, flavorful, and served hot. You can tell the kitchen and bar work together well here. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink or staying for a full meal, Riley’s (and especially Alex) makes it worth your time. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Really pleasant little cafe, caters for recent vegetarians (such as myself!), had a full breakfast and hardly noticed there was no meat. Friendly staff, nice decor, reasonable prices.”

“Popped in to have a drink, and had a great time. Staff were lovely and really helpful, drinks were perfect (I had a non-alcoholic beer as I was driving and my wife had a lovely merlot) and the decor was cool. Cracking atmosphere and will definitely be back for the Sunday lunch and live music. Edit: Went back for Sunday dinner and drinks. The food was outstanding, the band very entertaining and the atmosphere reflected that. Thoroughly recommended.”

“A fantastic little pub with a great atmospher and a great selection of beer. We stopped while on a walk and having walked past the two other pubs in the village we couldn't resist the woodlark. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon and the out door seating area was packed, booking a table to eat would be esential. We didn't eat but the menu looked good and we'll be back next week to give it a go.”

“Love this pub. Good selection of real ale. No TV or music so you can have an actual conversation without shouting. Very dog friendly.”

“Always a great experience here, Dan makes you feel at home and serves a nice variety of beers including some good alcohol free options”

“My new favourite bar. Good selection of beers and great atmosphere”

“Very vibrant and friendly place. Nice beer and good music.”

“Amazing gem, so lucky to live close by. Customer service is impeccable and friendly, can-do attitude is so warm and lovely. All the staff are trained well - not a badly made coffee ever, and the service is always personable and tailored to you as an individual. We are blessed to have Portobello in our neighbourhood. It is a fun, relaxed vibe and the music is always top notch! I love the soft reggaeton play into the street, it brightens the day when doing mundane grocery tasks.”

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

“A wonderful family meal to celebrate my birthday! Staff were so attentive and lovely, food was perfect and atmosphere was fabulous! Love it here!”

“Excellent trad pub. Lovely staff and fun clientele.”

“Gorgeous venue, intimate comfortable club”

“Great food at a great price! Have visited a few times but most recently went for the Steak Night menu which includes a drink in the price. Plenty of choice available for the cuts of steak, and also vegetarian, pork, and chicken options so there's something for everyone. Food and service is consistently top notch. The side dishes and desserts are also great value Would highly recommend visiting Porterhouse over any chain restaurants!”
