The Ruddington Arms

Fabulous food and lovely atmosphere. Fantastic service from the staff!

Always great food and service when we visit The Ruddington Arms.

Amazingly consistent with various options of dishes - can never go wrong here!

Fantastic food, service and selection of drinks. A quality place I'm very happy to have discovered in my doorstep. Definitely going back with friends and family.

Nicely decorated. Very attentive staff and excellent lunch time menu. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

We had a lovely evening. Fabulous food for the whole family. We all really enjoyed our meal, excellent menu. Will definitely be going back again.

Amazing food as always, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Would really recommend having a meal at The Ruddington Arms, it’s the best pub in the village

the food is delicious the staff very attentive just need to say that we were cold, the heati ng needs improving. Overall very nice, will go again........

Once again a fantastic lunch at RA. When we arrived, we had been 'bumped' out to the bar area, as the restaurant was fully booked by a private party. They say they had tried to contact me to inform me of this, but I am not convinced, as I had received no missed calls. However, the meal as always was first class, the service was a little slow, but the whole place was so busy, that was hardly surprising. No doubt we will be there again very soon....... hope so anyway!

The Ruddington Arms is a great pub with great food and service, whether it is for a snack, Sunday lunch or evening dinner. i would recommend this pub/restaurant for any day of the week or occasion

Enjoyed our meal,so nice that beef ribs still served.The Roquefort starter was very good. Was going to try the salt cod but not on the menu next time perhaps.

On initial review of the menu i was struggling to pick a main but when you start to read the details of what makes up each dish my mouth started to water. I went for the Cod with spicy lentil and what an excellent choice it was. My better half had the Lamb cooked to a perfect pink, another triumph. Don't miss out on the puddings either. The Ruddy good sticky toffee pudding is essential.

Perfectly cooked, inventive touches. The menu has its "core" dishes but within these are some great choices. A Gastro pub worthy of the name... Try the tasting flight of beers, a good way to try three of the great brews on offer.

Fantastic food, atmosphere, and service. Wished we lived closer as only get to go when we are visiting our daughter who is at uni in Notts.

Excellent Sunday roast. Just wish there was a choice of accompanying vegetables otherwise would have scored a 6. Rather noisy at Sunday lunch screaming child nearby and a group of exceptionally noisy young ladies so conversation at our table rather difficult but had a really good Saturday evening before Christmas that we just couldn't fault in any way.

The choice of food was very good as was the VFM. The quality of food, presentation and drinks rate 6/6. The mussels and salt cod were outstanding. The service was fair. All portions of food arrived at the same time but there was a long wait for the requested water and additional drinks. The staff were pleasant but not well managed. We didn't like being called,'sweetie'. So, service reduces the overall rating to 5/6. Yes we will go again, perhaps not on a Friday evening.

Great service and wines. Food good too but could reduce the number of ingredients on the plate and then it would look less crowded. Table choice needs to be checked to avoid large groups if you like enjoying conversation with friends!

Amazing service and stand out food - loved the way they came up with a different menu for NYE. Made New Years Eve very special- thank you

Visited Ruddington Arms for the 2nd time this year for a lunchtime meal with friends. As before we had an excellent meals which was good value, well prepared and tasty. All our party were happy with their choices. Would highly recommend eating here.

Excellent food and great service. Very busy but it was New Year’s Day so did have to wait between courses. Would definitely eat here again and recommend

Excellent food service was not the best and the staff do not seem particularly keen on children.I would recommend as the food is lovely but only if you have plenty of time as the staff do not rush.

Excellent - had lunch with family and the dogs today. Had the homemade fish cakes which is a very filling dish from the light bites section of the menu and husband had a Club sandwich which was excellent. Love this place as it is our local and great for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner or bar snacks - or just a drinky poos! Fabulous.

Great food and service. a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

Excellent. We were quite late on Sunday December 23rd but managed to get two roast dinners. Cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious! Staff were very friendly and courteous.

Brilliant service and great food. The whole experience was really enjoyable. We were sat at our table straight away and the service was excellent. The two servers were good fun and made the experience well worth coming. We hadn't been before but will defiantly be coming again. Thank you

Had a great time - really great and attentive service (as always) plus fantastic food to boot. Thank you all at the ruddington arms. The Webster’s

lovely xmas dinner with all the trimmings. Friendly staff and good service. Top quality food for any day or evening of the week. well worth a visit

Excellent food - will definitely be returning. A lovely get together with ex- work colleagues who all agreed it was a good choice of venue. All staff were really friendly and helpful.

The food was delicious and the service very good. Just a shame that as we were seated on the circular table near the door to the garden we got very cold with a small group of children who constantly came in and out of the restaurant and all too often failed to shut the door. Unfortunately this spoiled our full enjoyment of the evening.

great food and service, nice mix between pub and restaurant with good beer and a friendly atmosphere. Never had a bad meal and would highly recommend.

Lovely decor, good service and great food. We had the 'Ruddy Good' steak burger and the halloumi and mushroom burger. Will definitely be going again soon.

fabulous Christmas dinner on sunday, staff very friendly as always and food was lovely. definately worth a visit if you havent been. lovely menu too

Always a fantastic experience at the Ruddington Arms with lovely friendly & efficient staff ; fantastic atmosphere and outstanding food! What more could you want!? Thank you once again RA for a wonderful experience.

Superb food as always, fresh, well cooked, reasonably priced, and always a few unusual dishes. Good atmosphere and family friendly as well. Very highly recommended.

Very pleasant restaurant - nicely decorated, food average priced, orders came out at reasonable times - have no complaints would definitely visit again, had a lovely real fire roaring away which added to the atmosphere of the building

Expensive (sow p chop 3qt fat undercooked cabbage leaf sweed was veg very disappointed complained to manager 4people we go out every Sunday off list

Disappointed. Been many times but the service has got worse and food quality not quite the same. It wasn’t busy so there was no reason we could see.

Treated a friend to lunch and she wasn't disappointed. Had to take her half her chicken sandwich home as too much. She said she would definitely recommend to her friends

Reasonably priced, nice restaurant food, with a pleasant ambience. Suitable for all occasions. Great staff who know their stuff!! Will recommend to friends and family.

Lovely Sunday lunch, although they were very busy and service was a bit slow. But overall we were happy diners. The waiter was friendly and the total experience was good.

The second visit this time for Sunday Lunch, once again we found great food, great service, and great staff. Will visit again as the value is great also.

Booked a table (2 weeks in advance) for 8.30 but when we arrived no tables available until 9pm. Then given a sloping/rocking table for two by the toilets that was lower than the chairs we sat at. After asking to move we finally ordered food at 9.30. Steak was a bit tough with no sign of a steak knife. The chef obviously thought you don’t need one but you did for my £20 ribeye.

Another visit to Ruddy Arms, another pleasant evening. We did have a 'hiccup' which was dealt with promptly & professionally, & after that everyone's food, for all 3 courses was just superb. Service was slick & attentive too. We'll be back again for sure. Thanks RA!

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff, we had a brilliant evening. There were four of us and the place was buzzing, we felt relaxed and the staff were welcoming and attentive. Not the first time we have been and will definitely be going again. The food is really good. Congratulations to all who work there.

The Ruddington Arms never fails to impress. The menu is excellent, food is always outstanding, service spot on and the staff professional and friendly ☺️

The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. My smoked haddock main course was absolutely beautiful and the duck starter was very tasty. Their chef is to be commended. It looks like a very well run establishment and we will certainly return.

Twice in a weekend 🤦🏻‍♂️ Another great meal though and lovely Pinotage as well 🍷

Friendly helpful staff , lovely home cooked food at a good price. Clean and welcoming decor , definitely worth a visit, we will definitely be back.

I’ve eaten here many times now and it never disappoints. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is always delicious, and even at a busy time on a Saturday evening, the food arrived quickly.

First visit and loved it. The roast beef and pork were both amazing, super choice for children and very friendly staff. Deserts were very tasty although after the very generous portions of the roast dinners we were perhaps over ambitious with the size of our stomachs!!
