The Ruddington Arms

One of the worst meals I've ever had. Steak was burnt, mushroom the same. Duck egg for start was raw. The only plys point was desert

The Food, Staff and atmosphia at the Ruddington Arms is great. If you are looking for a nice experience then please visit. looking forward to our next visit

Lovely food and smiley service, another superb meal. Sunday roast with all the trimmings, marbles beef and Yorkshire pudding and a homemade horseradish sauce. Lovely!

Wonderful food. Enjoyed every course. Good food, well presented and at an excellent price. Would certainly recommend and looking forward to our next visit which will be soon.

Excellent food and service, though a bit expensive, will go again. The pub was clean and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a very pleasant afternoon.

First class service and 5* food. A very good evening meal served by very friendly staff. The menu is suitable for all occasions and a good selection of cask ales.

Food absolutely excellent, made my little granddaughter very welcome and altogether a lovely Iunch. It did however take quite a long time to get our meal ordered and it was also quite a long time between ordering and the meal arriving. Nevertheless it is always worth waiting for .

The food is delicious and cooked very well. The staff are very attentive but leave you to enjoy your meal. The atmosphere is very lively if you go early evening which makes it feel like you have had a proper evening out!

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Pleasant and well-decorated surroundings. Very good wine list, too. We like the fact that there is no loud background music. Online booking was straightforward.

Thanks to Grant, Lana and all the team for a super evening made especially enjoyable by their excellent service. Thanks chef for the crab soufflé an indulgent but stubby starter. 😊

All my customers and friends absolutely love the RA. The soufflé tonight was as usual fabulous and the staff very special. Keep it up please😀 Peter (thelodgeatruddington)

The pub is a lovely place although the chairs we sat in were a bit uncomfortable but not a massive deal. We ordered two burgers and two Sunday roast. The burgers were delicious as well as the chips. Unfortunately the beef roast was not very nice. The beef it's self was very fatty and we hardly ate any of it. We were disappointed the cut wasn't a bit nicer. Everything else on the plate was lovely. Overall the experience was mixed, some great points and some low points.

I really enjoy the Ruddington, the food is good, the wines exciting and service is friendly. So as a family it works for us. But also enjoyed a meal for two which worked well too.

When we arrived the staff were warm and friendly. We were shown to our table where we had a Fantastic meal. The food was very tasty and the staff and service was great

Can not fault this place, food was again first class and fairly priced. The salmon in a red Thai sauce with rice was perfectly spiced, the rib eye was succulent although a little small. Cheese soufflé starter was very tasty and quite filling. Great sticky toffee pudding and creme brûlée to finish the meal off . Staff were friendly and service was good, we left very happy and will be visiting again very shortly.

Welcoming, friendly, efficient staff. Enjoyable and well-executed food. The choice of sandwiches excellent for a working lunch. Very happy with choice of drinks. Well done!

Excellent food, service and surroundings. Great attention to detail and presentation. Great for family's we will definitely visit again! Meat and cheese sharing starter platter was excellent and as was the sharing rib of beef, we had different deserts and all excellent. Great choice of real ales and craft ciders. The pimms was a great choice by me

Even though the restaurant was really busy service was quick and the food was excellent as always. We weren't hurried to leave the table will definitely be going back.

Thr Ruddington Arms has a great atmosphere, excellent food and attentive and efficient staff. It can be busy at the weekends. The menu is varied and interesting. I enjoyed crispy fried squid on a base of lettuce and pieces of fettle (cheese) on a sweet chillie sauce, followed by a succulent rack of lamb. The furnishings are an eclectic mix of old style furnishings which works very well

Had nice meal with friends. Would certainly visit again. Will just mention that we sat for quite a while at the outset waiting for drinks and for our order to be taken.

Hit and miss. Room booked for two people and only set up for one. Tea and coffee not replenished during the room cleaning. No hot water and no apology when we mentioned it. One of the staff was v helpful and smiley fetching umbrellas and checking us in. Bit of a blank faced manager tho. Wouldn't rush back.

All three of us enjoyed our lunch and were impressed with the ambience and staff. The quality of the food was excellent and the waiters helpful and good fun. Thank you.

An excellent evening! Great place, great food, great staff, great wine, lovely welcoming atmosphere - who could ask for more! Looking forward to the next visit already!!

Fantastic Sunday roast for 2 and a children's meal better than I any I've ever purchased! Lovely attentive staff, Just perfect! Can't wait to return.

We had a very lovely Sunday Lunch, the food was fabulous. The restaurant and bar has a lovely atmosphere and decent wine too! Can't fault it

Good food and a nice atmosphere. One of the staff waiting on was most unfriendly and gave the appearance she couldn't be bothered and didn't speak as we left.

an extremely comfortable setting, excellent service, varied menu offering lots of choice, the food we ordered arrived in good time and was delicious. Look forward to visiting again in the future.

Very flavoursome food, well cooked and presented. We were a party of four had four starters, four mains, two puddings, four coffees , a bottle of wine and two beers. The bill was just under £30 a head which was great value for money. The service was efficient, friendly, and unobtrusive. Will be back.

Very good service, the time between courses was perfect. The host was very good too. The food was absolutely superb. We will most certainly be coming back.

Great roast beef dinner and one of the best sticky toffee pudding we have ever tasted. We will definitely be back soon! Very much recommended

Disappointed that on a Saturday night at 19:45 that the 8oz ribeye was not available but the food we did have was very good.

Another excellent Sunday lunch this time in the garden enjoying the spring heatwave! Tom the duty manager as professional as ever and the new fine wine list is a great addition to the wide selection of wines already available, try Chocolate Block a wine to be savoured at length with good food and in good company.

Great food, service and atmosphere ..... again. This is our go to restaurant for everyday and special occasions. The food is consistently good and the staff efficient and friendly.

The meal was nice but not excellent so therefore slightly overpriced. What spoilt the experience was the feeling of eating in a crèche. Too many families who thought it was ok to allow kids to run around (kids of an age that should know how to behave) . Some were even in the restaurant in wheelies. Sorry. Won't rush back.

Couldn't fault any of it. Food and drinks spot on, lovely atmosphere. We had a really good time. Thank you to everyone! Hope to be back soon!

Nice family pub, food excellent! We had the burger which was really good, chips were cooked well. Beer battered fish was also very good. Will come here again :)

Fantastic food. Great service. My friends and I had a lovely time there and will definitely be going back to eat there again very soon.

A vety nice and relaxing evening with excellent service and food. A joy and delight from first entering to leaving. I would recomnend The Ruddington Arms for a very good night out for any occasuon.

Undercooked lemon sole - still blood around the bones and the flesh sticking to the bones - but also tasteless. Chef apparently said that it is his preference to undercook fish

Fantastic food and the service was just as good. Great selection of drinks and brilliant atmosphere. We will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later! Thank you

Excellent food, good service and a friendly waitress to complete the experience. It is one of those rare pub restaurants that combines a good pub atmosphere alongside an impressive restaurant.

Excellent varied menu to suit all tastes. Imaginative daily specials. Very good service from friendly waiting staff. Good atmosphere. Will definitely recommend and will be returning.

Breakfast was delicious.. We ate in the bar area which was a bit more relaxed with the kids.. Great that the kids had white boards to draw on.. We took ipads.. We all had a super time.

Food excellence, BUT service was slow for a week day and only about 5 ? tables being used. Also we arrived and when I asked where the toilets were I was told "Oh through there" so I struggled with my mother who couldn't reach the bizarre sink and non named taps. Towards the end of the meal I said this to a member of staff they said "Oh (big word at the Ruddington Arms) there are disabled toilets in a separate place 25 metres away from the main toilets and not signposted at at. The reason I mention this is because my mother was using a walker and clearly disabled. Not friendly, no extra help and even the door with the ramp outside was locked. I had to walk round to ask them to open it.....I'm disabled as well. Food very good, for village pub I thought it on the pricier side BUT excellent selection even if my favourite was on the "specials" board which we were NOT pointed out to us.

Visited with a friend for my birthday the food was great and good service, a little pricey for a normal night out but nice for an occasion.

Lovely food and prompt service for a busy Saturday evening. The dessert although very tasty could ha e been better presented. Did not lim the glass jar!!

Excellent dining experience ! Calm ,friendly, helpful staff with lots of space between tables . Food outstanding for all 4 diners. The highlights were Baked Alaska, Souffle and steaks .

we have been to the ruddington arms on many occasions now with different friends and family and it has always been without exception excellent food, together with a nice atmosphere and good staff I know I will be going back again and again.

Yet again, the staff and the food where amazing. Thanks again RA

Beautiful family Sunday lunch. The RA managed to add an extra person to outr booking at short notice, despite having a full restaurants by moving us into the bar area. Food was very impressive
