The Ruddington Arms

Really lovely, as always. However the black pudding was not quite as good as usual (not quite as firm). Still far better than 99% of places to eat though. Merry Christmas

Great restaurant, great food, great staff, great atmosphere, great menu choices, great location, great beer, great access this is our go to favourite restaurant when we can’t be bothered to cook.

Poor service and far too much fat on beef dinner will not be going again not worth the money spent when I complained at the end nothing was done

The food was of a good quality that I have always experienced at the RA. Due to large parties being present we had to wait longer than usual for our food. I plan to go to try out their new pub in Bingham.

Great atmosphere, very pleasant staff and fabulous quality food. We were in a bit of a hurry because we were attending a concert in the city but everyone was courteous and helpful. Will definitely return with more time..!

Lovely menu, lovely food and very well presented. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great meal in a relaxed environment. Of course, the prices are reasonable too!

Had a lovely meal - went off piste and we both had a sharing platter each and it was perfect with a bottle of the Claro red. Ambience spot on and food service perfect.

What a super Christmas dinner food excellent as always, so good to have a local restaurant and pub in walking distance, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Had a lovely evening pleasant waitress lovely food nice wine Had to keep reminding staff for ordered drinks although there were two large parties in at the same time so understandable Definitely eat there again

The food was as usual was great a wonderful experience. Today was very busy and my only criticism would be that service was a little slow but would diffinatley return. Best food around.

Went for lunch and there was plenty of food I liked that I could choose from. Service and food were also good as was my coffee to complete my meal!

Food is always fantastic, service was also great. Very friendly. Menus need updating on website. Bring back monkfish curry it was my favourite. Overall really good

Great food as usual. Atmosphere, staff and general service are all great. The beers and the gin selection are plentiful too. Well worth a visit.

One of my favourite places to eat. We went for Sunday roast dinner, the whole family enjoyed. It has adult family feel to the place. More of a chinos and shirt rather than a jeans and t shirt.

Lovely Sunday afternoon spent with the family, food was fantastic and they couldn’t do enough. We were left to eat at leisure and everybody loved it.

Excellent food and service. Great value for money. Staff were very attentive and the bar and restaurant were both beautifully decorated and looked after. Will definitely be returning soon.

Great service, excellent food. All round great experience. Steak and kidney pudding as good as my mum use to make back in the sixties !

Fantastic food and great service. Still thinking about that cut of meat well over a week later! Will certainly be returning sooner rather than later.

Excellent meal as usual. I meet friends at the RA as very conveniently situated between Castle Donington and West Bridgford. We have been going there for a few years now and the food is always good, the staff most helpful as we take 2 ladies of 91 as they have been friends for over 70 years. Normally accessible, just today the car park was being refurbished but we managed with. Bit of help. Friendly, helpful and always a pleasure to visit.

Excellent food and friendly, knowledgable service e.g. in guiding choice of wine. The staff couldn't do enough to help. I had the haddock with poached egg and it was really delicious.

Excellent second visit- Nibbles more than enough to replace Starter- we always find a starter too much before the main course being oldies Rump Steak & Fish and chips to follow ( fish minus skin a nice touch before the batter) Only small gripe - we were on table at end of run near kitchen so busy footfall and it was quite cool because of glass doors out to rear garden being opened a bit by people probably going out for a smoke Will return but ask for table nearer front

Fantastic food and very good service. I have continually been told how nice it is and it certainly lived up to expectations. Definitely one to book!

We enjoyed a Delicious roast beef joint shared between our party of 4 with all the trimmings. Friendly service, tasty starters and puddings. Highly recommended.

The service was appalling, no menus given when seated, no offer of drinks, food took nearly an hour to come and they weren't busy had to chase drinks order no one asked how the food was, mine wasn't great most disappointed. When speaking to the waitress she said they had been busy at lunch time and were playing catch up....

Comfortable dining area. The tomato and pepper soup was great on a chilly post-football match night. Tasty mussels too. The service was nice, especially attentive to kids.

Excellent thank you, service, quality of food all very good. Reasonably priced and sevice attention just right - have been before and will be back !

Excellent Food. Super flavours. Wonderful specials board. The range of gin and varieties of tonics is superb. There is a great selection of wines and the tasting board of beers is good fun.

An excellent meal for all of us. The food was delicious and served by very attentive and friendly staff. We would highly recommend this venue.

Excellent food, well presented. Staff very attentive,polite and friendly. Unfortunately restaurant was noisy due to two large parties which made conversation with our friends difficult.

Worth a trip. Friendly staff, good standard of cooking. Nice variety of items and a fair price. Balance of flavours good. Scallops tasty but not good value with only 2 small Scallops on the plate.

Really excellent food at that price point,creative selection of beers ,very friendly and efficient service and very well designed .Would recommend to friends and family without hesitation .

Really loved good quality tasty food despite being v busy. Also accommodated extra person at short notice and waiting staff very helpful too. Let us have our table early too. Great

Great food, lots of choice, nice setting, nice staff. Service was a bit slow but equally we weren't rushed to finish our meal. Def recommend!

We had a warm welcome by plesant and friendly staff. Order taken promtly and food arrived in good time. The food was very good value for money

Best brunch food ever. A good variety, my husband likes eggs florentine and we both love the granola. I'm not a bread person but I love their granary toast.Lovely atmosphere and helpful staff.

Food was lovely, staff friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed our evening

Lovely food, polite and efficient staff, nice decor. I had the duck ham for my a starter and I enjoyed its dense, smoky flavour, cherries were an unusual ingredient but still in keeping. Fish and chips were as from the best chippy. There could be more variety in the menu as the head chef alternates between two menus, but the food is tasty and flavouresone.

Food was great but service was slow. Had to ask after waiting in the bar to see if our table was ready, the restaurarnt was empty? Bill was incorrect but after querying it was altered. Overall good, lunch was better week before however we would return.

Nice eating area and attentive staff. The food was good and excellent portion sizes. The menu was varied with meat, fish and vegetarian options. I gave it a 4 because there was a loud alarm that went off a couple of times whilst eating and a couple of the lights had large cobwebs on. We also sat next to the toilets.

Great atmosphere from the start, a real buzz in the restaurant. Friendly efficient service and the food was first class. Quality ingredients with imaginative presentation without being too ostentatious. The selection of beers & other drinks were excellent too.

Wonderful cheese soufflé as a starter! Had a vegetarian main although not vegetarian which was roasted cauliflower with chick peas and curry sauce- tasty. Couldn't eat any more but my companion had baked Alaska preceded by steak and kidney pudding - both delicious. I will return!

Staff and food fantastic as ever. Scallops were amazing. Very reasonable for prices. Roast pork with giant yorkshires was wonderful. Will definitely be back again

We just keep coming back here again and again, the food and the service are excellent. I have time and again been delighted with the quality and standard of the food and drink.

Lovely food, friendly service.......and soufflé fantastic! We are becoming regulars at this venue. It is great value, matching the great food. Happy to recommend this place for any age groups.

Really like this place. They do a wonderful Sunday lunch so tried it for breakfast. Lovely quality food and service. Would recommend for a weekend treat. Kept me going all day.

The souffle was divine. The choice of meals matched the website and so were uninspiring. There were 3 specials on the wall but these were not pointed out by the either the head waiter or waitress. Like other restaurants we were asked our drink order before we had sat down.

Our friends and us had a very nice lunch, generous portions and excellent quality, also, a great device. Will go back there again with our family 👍🏽😀

Brilliant, staff friendly and very helpful, nice restaurant area, something for everyone on the menu, food well presented and high quality. Will definitely go again and would highly recommend.

A lovely meal with some outstanding tastes and flavours. The chef has put together a menu that caters for all but trust him with what maybe sounds like unusual combinations as they work wonderfully and you will be in for a treat.

I have been to the Ruddington Arms several times before and as always, it was lovely. I had the baked egg starter with mushrooms and truffle oil, which was really good and the oil was enough to taste but not too overpowering. I iked the spinach in the dish too. The main was the duck special which was really well seasoned with great gravy and granola which I didn't expect to care for but I actually liked the difference in texture. I had cinnamon donuts for desert which are always fabulous. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. On this occasion I brought friends visiting from London here and they were impressed too. I would always reccommend the restaurant, especially if you don't want to go into Nottingham.
