I have found this pub to be a great place to wind down on a Friday after work, It has a great atmosphere, tables for all party sizes, their Pizza and Beer deal is great value and (Most of the time) is delicious! They constantly cycle their pumps and every week there is something new to try. The staff are friendly and attentive. I wish there was more room around the pool table it can feel a little cramped but they do offer a smaller que for the tricky shots ;) We have also used their basement area for company events. Its spacious and with enough attendance I believe they let you use the space for free (And man a mini bar downstairs so people don't have to carry their drinks up and down the stairs.) Great place over all.

Great multi purpose venue. Darts, pool and bar games available. Great range of drinks and excellent value and quality food. Hosts events in hidden cave bar most weekends. Large screen for sports and decent outside space. Will look forward to watching a few Euros games here!

The ranch burger was so delicious! Great service, got some samples to try some of the weird cider flavors before deciding which was a great help. Food was quick and very good value. Nice atmosphere and plenty of seating.

A fantastic recommendation from The Haunted Museum staff across the road. This pub is an amazing space with a fantastic host the red Labrador Boston, with wonderful staff who are lovely to engage with. To top it off we had a 10% discount off the bill from showing our Nottingham Haunted Museum ticket- an incredible gesture from one local business to another. Cannot wait to visit again

Very nice new(ish) pub on the Derby Road run. Plenty of choice of drinks, whatever your tipple, and at reasonable prices. Great inside and outside drinking areas - and a cave for private hire !! Good background music too. Big thanks to Andrea & the team.

So happy I found this pub, really friendly staff with such a great feeling to it! Food was cracking, 2 4 1 pizzas Monday and Tuesday!!! And the pints were divine, played some board games but there are darts and pool which I be returning for!
