lovely atmosphere and a great quiz night, however, being charged more than £4 for a large glass of lemonade is a bit ridiculous ngl. also, i initially asked for another drink but the staff member didn’t even realise that they offer it on the menu so i had to go for the alternative

We hosted a private charity event here and they were so accommodating and helpful. Josh and the team (Tanya and Lucy) were so lovely and the space felt so warm with a fantastic atmosphere. It's great to have different areas to work with. Huge bonus with it being wheelchair accessible. Fantastic place to host our Louisey Rider Cup after party. I hope it's here again next year!

I attended a private event here this weekend and the venue was perfect for having these separate space for hanging out, conversations, seating areas, and dancing, it flowed really well. Also the staff were so great about accomodating our requests for items for the party and also serving drinks so fast. Thanks to Lucy and Tanya that went above and beyond to make our event such a fun time

The atmosphere here is wonderful- very cozy pub right across from Nottingham Trent University. On that basis alone it’s worth a visit. Although, not the best beer selection. I also used to love to go for their 2-4-1 pizza deal on Mondays, which was great value for money. However, lately it seems the quality of this has taken a dive. On my last visit, I ordered the ‘Margot’ and the cheese didn’t taste like mozzarella should. Perhaps worse than this, I’d asked for some red chili flakes for the pizza, a very common pizza topping that every other restaurant serving pizza provides in abundance for free. However, although they had some they refused to provide any because, bizarrely, they couldn’t find an option on the till to charge 50p for chili flakes. Charging for chili flakes on pizza is like charging for salt & pepper. So, unable to pay for them, I couldn’t get them complimentary either. Strangest and most disappointing pizza experience in recent memory.
