The Ruddington Arms

We visited the Ruddington Arms for lunch with an elderly relative. From beginning to end the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was good value for money, beautifully presented and tasted great. We will be back.

The food was lovely myself and all the flies thought so, the staff were very abrupt, clearing glasses and not asking if you’d like another drink as if us being there was a hassle.

This is our go to restaurant when we can't be bothered to cook. The food, service and atmosphere are excellent and we always enjoy our evenings at the Ruddington Arms. Routinely, I give the restaurant top marks for the overall experience, but last night we had to ask to move tables because of an infestation of flies in the corner where we were originally sat. Other than that, and last night may have been a one off, 10 out of 10.

The food was fabulous and the service was excellent. I haven’t had a baked Alaska for years!! I would definitely go back again. Really good.

Always a lovely time in RA, very accommodating to food requirements. Looking forwards to the garden party on 26th July get your tickets now for a fav evening

Fantastic meal, both food & service by Laura & the team, first class. Pity they've done away with the 'free pint' loyalty scheme. Can't wait to go back again soon nevertheless.

Food here is consistently great! It’s really a gem for a “local” place, with interesting wines and good beer selection, all of which pairs with the fantastic menu

Once again introduced some new friends to the Sunday lunch. Had the beef. They were well impressed. Said they would be making another visit. Thanks again

First time visit but not the last. Food was good and served by a very helpful and informative staff. We had booked our table for 8.30 (4 people) and unlike some venues our table was ready as soon as we walked in even though the restaurant was very busy.

Lovely food with great service. Good choice on the menu. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Will visit again soon.

I'm a regular but brough a new friend here for lunch. Both had the chicken club sandwich, lovely. Shared the backed alaska, to die for, but was then told they will be taking it off the winter menu 😣.

An excellent meal, the service was friendly and quick. Food was delicious and the desserts were brilliant. I’m usually a starter and main type of customer, but I am so happy we did main and dessert instead. The doughnuts and Eton mess were wonderful.

Spur of the moment for tea yesterday. Has the chicken with chips. Couldn't fault it. Would recommend

Great food, great service in a really nice setting. Overall a really enjoyable experience. I would particularly recommend the Baked Alaska and the Yorkshire Rhubarb Fool.

Another Sunday lunch here. As usual excellent food and atmosphere

Excellent food n great service will definitely be going back .. would highly recommend for specially occasions as well as dropping in for a bite

Excellent food and service. Very nice and relaxed atmosphere, but felt like it had class to it too. Would definitely recommend and will return soon

Food was excellent yet again, service was fantastic as usual, really good exp

The restaurant has always given us good food and service. This visit was a tremendous disappointment. We had single items from the lite bite menu and told the staff we were in a hurry. This took over half an hour to arrive and when it did it was overcooked. Coffee took another 30 minutes. The service was appalling. Don't think we will be back.

Food was excellent as was the service. It is time they lost the wooden trenchers. Look unhygienic and present problems keeping the food on them. Otherwise a most enjoyable lunch.

The food was amazing, choice was great, really impressive flavours and variety. Staff where friendly, accommodating and warm. Had the ability to buy some locally produced chutneys to take home and enjoy. Sincerely recommend as somewhere to eat if you appreciate good food.

The food was delicious and the serivce was excellent. The whole experience was most enjoyable. We could not fault anything and will definitely be returning.

This was a most enjoyable lunch. It was our first visit to RA but will not be our last visit. The food was excellent and the staff helpful and friendly.

Introduced 2new people for Sunday lunch, both had lots of praise. I had a change from the beef and had pork. Wasn't disappointed. Keep up the good work

Overall nice experience, good quality of food and all courses came in good time, I shall be dining again aswell as recommendations to friends and family.

Brilliant food. Had a lovely Sunday afternoon with my family friendly fast service and food was beautiful. Children’s menu was good and my little one ate it all which is rare.

Brought 3new people for Sunday lunch. All enjoyed the food and the atmosphere

Excellent as always. Keep bringing new people to this place. No complaints at all

Great Sunday lunch but more green veg would have been good. Also very good coffee. Couples beware also all tables were families with young children.

Although it was a busy service we sat down on time and we had Efficient service well cooked and well presented food. Good value meal

Sunday lunch is absolutely amazing. Beef was cooked to perfection. Baked alaska to die for. Staff very attractive.

Nice surroundings and nice food would visit again .booked on line very easy and friendly staff perhaps a little pricey to go to often but very pleasant

We had a lovely meal. Service was very good. It was very busy so a good atmosphere. Menu had a lot of fish dishes and I felt another vegetarian dish wouldn't have gone amis. Overall very good. 👍

Excellent service and food . A really nice atmosphere at lunch time- we took our time and spent the whole afternoon there a lovely place for a family birthday meal.

Food and service both fantastic. Busy - it was a Saturday night - but the staff were friendly and welcoming, the food arrived perfectly on time, and the standard of the food was excellent. Great value, and we were not rushed to leave. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, service and value for money. Went with family and friends and would recommend to all. Great menu selection and good food portions. Enjoy

Starters of soup and twice baked cheese shuffle both excellent. Fish chips and peas very good however the smoked haddock was extremely salty and the poached egg was hard. They did take this main off the bill without question which is good. Staff are pleasant and the ambience was good.

Fantastic food and fantastic service-nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend and I had my 3 young children with me and they were very accommodating

Perfect dining experience, great food and great service also 👍🏻

Excellent as always, great food & drink... Staff very attentive & helpful. A great Easter Sunday.. Well Done... Great, Thank you very much Brian, Keyworth, Nottingham

Good food 🥘 we really enjoyed ourselves. We did wait a long time for drinks and had to ask twice for them but other than that everything was good.

Excellent as always. This is our go to place these days. Can’t be bettered.

Lovely food and prompt service, empty plates all round... always a good sign! Table was ready at pre booked time. Very friendly, helpful staff. Thank you.

Very welcoming and good,friendly service. Food was wonderful-the smoked chicken and avocado salad was divine. And just to mention decor is lovely nd toilets are pristine!

We booked a table at lunchtime for a very special birthday. The food was excellent as always and the service was very good. We've never had a bad meal and we've been here for breakfast, lunch and an evening meal!

Lovely food and plenty of it. Courteous and friendly staff, have visited on numerous occasions and it is always consistently good value, service and atmosphere.

A relaxed experience with superb food. Friendly service. The menu is different with old classics given a new twist. The portions were more than generous which made our Sunday lunch good value for money. It was certainly one of the best Sunday lunches we have had in recent years. We have already booked for a return visit with friends.

Amazing food. Amazing gin. Amazing service. Went for Sunday lunch and could not find fault. Apart from the bread sauce could be served with a small spoon

Pleasant surroundings, good beer, good service. We had plenty to eat between the starter and main course. This is not a cheap place but was extremely popular during our visit. The rib eye steak just melted in my mouth!

Good food and choice of Gin which my wife liked. service was a little slow though.
