We went out with friends and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. All the food was lovely and the service very good. It would be great if the menu identified gluten free options.

Had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch the Food and atmosphere were great as was the service. Was a little concerned when I booked as a member of our party was in a wheelchair and had read there were access issues but it was abosolutely fine.

Dinner was disappointing. Order the 4 person rib of beef. Meat was carved very thick, difficult to cut when eating, and was excessively fatty. Vegetables poor selection. Roasts ....... well not roasted. Whole meal was a disappointing.

Fantastic food and a 'well balanced' menu, with lots of interesting seasonal stuff but also a solid core of safe bankers. Service was good, friendly and efficient - though not quiet as attentive as I prefer (there was a couple of times I wanted more drinks or condiments and it was hard to flag anyone down). Only real disappointment was the 'crushed minty peas'... this is Nottingham not London, surly proper mushy peas are the only way to do it.

The food and service at The Ruddington Arms is excellent. Would highly recommend. A regular venue for us, even though we do not live close by it is worth the effort. The baked Alaska is to die for.

Nice table, welcomed by friendly but not intrusive staff. They overheard the table was wobbling and it was wedged without asking. We were asked 4 times if the food was ok and left to chat appropriately between courses and after meal. And food was very good.

Friendly service. Consistently nice food. Their idea of a quiet table not mine. We were it’s true set aside, but only because we were in front of the specials board, where we said hello to nice short sighted folk who visited, also en route for the loos. Next time request table for two in the corner!

Food excellent as always - some of the best food in the area comes out of this kitchen. But service was poor tonight. Food came before drinks. Wrong drinks came. Wrong size glasses of wine. Water not topped up. Not enough attention and the restaurant was quiet so no excuses that they were busy I’m afraid.

Daughters 15th birthday visit - staff very friendly, the outside terrace was so pretty and they have just added a sun deck which looks amazing. Food was outstanding, as always. We had the RFC, Club Sandwich and Steak Sandwich - all enjoyed immensely. Our favourite place to go.

Came after a recommendation from a friend. Nice food and atmosphere. We sat outside as it was quite hot in the restaurant and it was lovely. Only downfall was my other half’s steak was slightly overdone for what he asked but was still delicious. Would definitely visit again.
