About The Embankment

On Arkwright St in Nottingham, The Embankment is a pub with a conservatory area and outdoor seating, some of it covered. The Sunday roast comes with mash, roast carrots and potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and a choice of meats, including a three-meat option, with a vegetarian roast alongside and vegan and gluten-free dishes on the menu. Craft beers, real ales and cask beer from local and surrounding breweries run on tap, and a bottled beer fridge offers a discount on bottles taken away. A private dining room is available for groups, and dogs are welcome throughout. Conferences, weddings and other events can be held on site, with a skittle alley, snooker tables, a bar and catering laid on. The car park doubles as a BritStops stop, letting motorhomes and campervans stay overnight.

Customer Review Summary

The Sunday roast draws the most praise, with reviewers describing huge portions piled with roast carrots and potatoes, mash, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and meat, plus a well-regarded vegetarian option, though a few note the food can take a while to arrive. Close behind is the drink selection, with repeated mentions of extensive craft beer, cask ale and keg choices, and one reviewer flagging a discount on bottles taken away. Other named dishes include the double cheeseburger with homemade coleslaw and fries and the Gaucho chicken and bacon salad. Staff are consistently called friendly and knowledgeable, and live music and events get singled out as well. The venue also comes up repeatedly for weddings, with one couple crediting a staff member's precise planning for making their day run smoothly. Several mention staying over in campervans or motorhomes on site, finding staff accommodating with local tourist advice.

    “Today i had the double cheeseburger with homemade coleslaw and french fries. Okay I know it's a simple plate to deliver. But it was amazing. Thank you for your help, thank you for taking time out for the chat with a lovely bloke who was full of information about the Embankment and the horse in Bingham Star bloke 🤟”

Her and the team nailed it on the day, and in the run up to the day. The planning was so precise and all of the details were perfect. We are so grateful for all of you - thank you for everything you did. If you are considering this place for your wedding go for it!! We are so happy and wouldn’t have changed a thing”

    “Impressive pub with beautiful old decor, cosy seating, lovely friendly staff and excellent cask beer on top from local and surrounding breweries. Vegan food choices on the menu and very dog friendly - treats and water station available. Can stay over in a Campervan in the car park for your custom too 😊”

    “An absolutely gorgeous pub, very well laid out with many independent real ales on tap. The staff were kind and knowledgeable. The seating is varied from communal to dining to relaxed, so there's something for everyone. There are also great bands and events by the looks of it. They have vegan and gluten free options too, but we only ate pints. We stayed in our campervan via BritStops stopover and the staff were accommodating and helpful.”

    “God I love this pub! Every single meal I’ve had here has been just perfect. Today I had the Gaucho chicken and bacon salad and it was probably one of the best salads I’ve ever had. The staff are brilliant; so friendly and welcoming. Oh and the music is always first class!”
