A great venue close by Nottingham Castle with outdoor seating when weather permits. A friendly welcome and good service. A good range of well-kept draught beers and a good choice of wines. A menu offering a good choice of starters, salads and main courses (but apparently no sandwiches). I had chicken, brie and chorizo salad, which was excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

service was good and food was tasty. Would have scored higher if my salad wasn't covered in coriander which I hate and which wasn't listed on the ingredients! Also the beer was very flat but that could be the way it was being poured

A very nice meal with family in pleasant surroundings with attentive and enthusiastic service. Only a shame that the restaurant lost our dessert order which somewhat delayed the end of our evening. Would recommend and will be back.

I booked our party of 6 in advance for my husbands 60th birthday and assuming we would be situated in the restaurant not on high stools on a shared table at the end of the bar this was uncomfortable due to three other people drinking at the bar and were sitting so close they were using the table to place their glasses. Two fish dishes were well over cooked. Not impressed just disappointed.

Slow lunch time service, food not very warm and seemed over priced for what it was. Disappointing as usually great service and food. If you plan to go for lunch give yourself 2 hours.

Restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was all good and it made a nice change for a restaurant that they also serve good draught beer. Have a lovely bar area for before or after food as well. Lovely setting right outside the castle.

Very good service, good value and atmosphere. We enjoyed burger, sausage and mash, rabbit casserole followed by raspberry crumble and chocolate brownie and ice cream. Sticky toffee pudding was a little dry. A good range of real ale.
