  “We booked dinner, bed (shepherd hut) and breakfast to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. Nicky was our brilliant host and we were really well looked after all throughout our stay. The evening meal was delicious and our accommodation well appointed and ideal for our one night stay. Well done to all at Team Perkins for making it a real treat befitting our celebration.”

  “Whenever me and my family go for dinner at Perkins we always get the best service and food! We went for a meal last night for my Mum’s birthday and sat outside in the terrace area, which was lovely and warm with the heaters. The food was amazing as always, and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Trish, Jane, Hannah and Jasmine you’re all amazing, thank you for a lovely evening! They also bought out a special happy birthday dessert for my Mum as well, thank you!”

  “We chose to have our wedding reception dinner at Perkins and we are so glad we were able to do so! We enquired because it is one our favourite restaurants in Nottingham, we love the atmosphere, decor, food and service. Every time we visit, we feel we get a complete evening out whereas most other restaurants want to serve you as quick as possible to fill the table again. The service is always great and the food is fantastic. For the wedding dinner, I liaised with Trish about everything and she was so well organised. We could tailor the menu to our preference and we had confidence that all dishes would be good quality since we’re never disappointed when visiting Perkins. I sent a table plan with the guests’ food choices and it was all seamlessly fulfilled on the day. We had 3 individual wedding cakes, which I asked to be cut up and laid out for guests to take in boxes, this was done really well and efficiently. I dropped all items to the restaurant the day before the wedding and didn’t have to worry about a thing after that! Table numbers & plan, name places, favours to be placed for each guest, 3 cakes & cake stands with topper, cake boxes, card box, guest book, decorative photo frames - Trish sorted it all out, kept on top of all the timings and made the evening so easy for us. We wanted a chilled atmosphere where we could talk to the guests and they could enjoy their time together, and that’s exactly what we experienced. Guests were really impressed with the setting and food at Perkins, and we look forward to coming back many times in future, now with very fond memories!”

  “We came here for our first year anniversary and we were not disappointed! We booked seats in the terrace, it was so lovely to be sat outside taking in the sun, the cocktails were absolutely delicious and the food too!! The service was fabulous, the amenities were clean and they catered to our 10 month old perfectly. Couldn't fault our visit. Highly recommend.”

  “My husband booked Perkins as a birthday treat. We have never been before. The venue as a whole is understated and classy. We sat in the terrace which was lovely. The food was superb and the best meal I have had for a long time. The chicken Kiev was outstanding and my husband loved his prawn cocktail. The staff were lovely and we will definitely return.”

  “Having recently moved to the area, we decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal after a week of unpacking, assembling furniture, and generally settling into our new home. After reading the excellent reviews of Perkins Bar & Bistro in the nearby village of Plumtree, we thought it would be the perfect choice. We booked a table in the covered outdoor area, and with the warm evening, the setting couldn’t have been better. I chose the duck while my wife opted for the chicken supreme; both dishes were beautifully presented, cooked to perfection, and full of flavour. The rum and raisin sticky toffee pudding was simply too tempting to resist, and I was glad I didn’t. It was the perfect end to an excellent meal. An absolute delight from start to finish. We will certainly be back.”

  “Lovely evening at Perkins Bar & Bistro. The building is a beautiful old station that has been converted, in a great, quiet location (with the occasional train going by!) Staff are all friendly and helpful. Food is fantastic - definitely full up after two courses! Price wise (with a drink) came to approx £35 - those that had three courses with a drink was about £55. For the surroundings, quality of food and staff, this is well worth a visit!”

  “A great all round restaurant. We like to go somewhere that you are guaranteed great quality food with great service at a very reasonable price. This gem has been hidden since 1982. A family owned bar and bistro housed in a beautifully restored railway station. They serve a mix of retro comfort classics and med inspired dishes with locally sourced ingredients Once seated you are brought water and freshly baked bread to nibble on whilst you peruse the menu. For lunch,it's two courses £26 or three courses £32. We started with a couple of very nice cocktails. Pineapple & coconut mojito £8.95 Cherry,amaretto sour £9.95 For starters we chose Crab,apple & salmon tian and Sun blush tomato & brie arancini. Main choices of Slow braised blade of beef and the other Roast fillet of cod.Both cooked to perfection. Desserts were Perkins tiramisu and Sticky toffee pudding it is then. To finish, a couple of Irish coffees. With consistently excellent food and service, there's no surprise the whole restaurant was full on a midweek lunchtime. They also do themed evenings which are really good value with excellent menus where booking is essential”

  “Cannot fault our visit. The food was delicious and served so quickly. Lovely outdoor seating to enjoy a drink before. Nice quiet location and really friendly team. The interior has been well designed and retains its train station attire. The team also made an extra effort because it was my birthday - thank you everyone! We will be back.”
