Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the food, with the chargrilled sirloin steak with truffle and parmesan fries, braised beef and roast scallops singled out at one lunch, and a Fish of the Day of stone bass in bisque with mussels called top class. Close behind is the service, described as lovely, friendly and attentive, including a last minute squeeze-in for a Sunday roast, a vegan menu that was delicious, and gluten free options handled without hassle. The setting and atmosphere draw repeated mentions as lovely and cosy. Reviewers do raise a few snags. One found the service slower than expected, one says parking is an issue, another noted the noise was slightly high with larger parties inside, and one thought a bottle of wine a tad expensive. Even so, one family describes the kids polishing their plates at a Sunday roast, with the fire on in the bar area.

“Lovely 2 course lunch. Food was excellent and service and atmosphere was perfect. We sat outside due to having 2 larger parties inside so noise level was slightly high. Parking is an issue although we got in at the back (room for 4 cars)”

“We had a lovely meal (two couples) on a Thursday evening. Nice ambience and very attentive staff. Food was tasty and good portions. Bottle of wine was a tad expensive ( we just kept ordering more so maybe our fault) but overall we had a lovely evening and will be coming back again soon.”

“Dined here this evening and had “Fish of the Day” which was stone bass in a bisque sauce with mussels and cucumber, accompanied by mash and shredded spring greens. Simply top class food is all I can say and hope they put this on the menu as a regular dish. Outstanding - nothing else to say …”

“Lovely staff, lovely building / setting. Genuinely interesting food options with a few classics thrown in for good measure. We just popped in on the off chance while visiting family and this place will now be our go to when in the area. Thanks for a lovely meal!”

“The ambience was enchanting, with warm sunlight cascading through the open spaces, creating a perfect setting for a delightful dining experience. The food was nothing short of delectable, each dish bursting with flavour and crafted to perfection. However, I was taken aback by the leisurely pace of the service, which felt slower than I had anticipated.”

“Staying locally in Cotgrave. Searched in the locality and was able to get booked in. Granted a Monday night so not too busy. As a celiac I needed Gluten Free food options. No hassle there and great service. Lovely food and I’d recommend it. Enjoy.”

“Top class lunch! Just returned from one of the best lunches I’ve ever had. Great venue and fantastic value for money, food was well presented and tasted amazing. What we had .. Starters ⭐ Roast Parsnip Soup ⭐ Roast Scallops ⭐ Pressed Terrine of Roast Chicken & Black Pudding Remoulade Main ⭐ Braised Beef ⭐ Chargrilled Sirloin Steak with Truffle & Parmesan Fries ⭐ Chargrilled Bavette Steak Clean plates all round 😀 This is the sort of environment everyone should try to create in terms of what fabulous service and experience should be. I can’t wait to return again. FINAL WORD. Part of the Secret Pub Company who also own The Radcliffe and The Railway - both excellent and worth a visit.”
