    Absolutely amazing experience at Nottingham Ivy, it was mine and my boyfriend’s first time going and they made us feel instantly welcome. We celebrated our anniversary and they even accommodated for my boyfriends dairy allergy when they served me the chocolate bombe (Without us having to ask for a small alternative for him), Thankyou for making our night unforgettable

    Staying overnight at the Old Pheasant we enjoyed a good meal served by helpful and friendly barman. Good value for money we had fish and chips and sausage egg and chips. Batter and fish were first class and sausages very tasty. We highly recommend here for the food,drinks selection and room quality

    Really lovely evening at the Nevill Arms - we went for the supper club, you’d imagine on such a busy evening it would feel rushed, but the staff were lovely, offering time between the two courses, chatty and checking in. Food was great and perfect with the weather, drinks were plentiful. Will be back!
