Nottingham Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nottinghamshire, England and one of the UK's most popular tourist attractions. The castle and its grounds are home to world-class art collections, as well as historical exhibits on local history. Tourists can enjoy walks through the gardens or take a guided tour of the castle itself.
It was great. The exhibitions are amazing. The staff are the best. When they saw we are in a big grand we needed a place to pray they emptied a room for us as we were a big group of women and children. Highly recommend visiting and looking forward to go there again. Robin hood adventure was great. We all loved the games.

Great place, we took my mum in law out for her birthday, and it was a lovely and interesting visit. £12 per adult, and you then have 12 months free admission, and because kids go free, we will be able to take our grandchildren as many times as we want, win-win, I say 😀. The art galleries and other displays were so interesting, and in my book, every day is a school day. Don't miss out on this experience.

The castle has been closed for so long I was looking forward to visiting finally but it has been renovated poorly. It's nice to look at from the outside but it's sad that there's hardly any original features left after the restorations. Nice views from the top. It doesn't feel like a Castle/palace at all, it's just a gallery now with a cafe and some bits of Nottingham history. This should be so much better. The grounds could be put to better use. Not somewhere you'd visit multiple times.

5 Star Attraction. More than well worth a visit. Activities for young and old alike. Cafe and restaurant great to visit. Food very good. At the moment there is a Paul Smith Exhibition which is out of this world and should be in the castle permanently it is that good. There is thing's to do both indoors and outdoors. There is also a nice gift shop. There is great adventure play ground based on Nottingham Castle

Great castle with a 1 year lasting ticket. Medium cost. Has 2 coffee shops with lunch menu also. The castle has 4 floor dedicated to robin hood, rebellion, modern gallery and art gallery. Children may love the robin hood floor as it has interactive videogames. There is a lovely children park outside the castle. You can also pay an extra for a guided cave tour, 25 min long, it is worth, but if you have the choose the city cave tour joined with justice museum is better.

Very nice visit here on bank holiday. Very modern castle due to restoration. Some parts were really nice whilst some were bit empty. However really good visit and nice experience. Everything is kept neat and tidy.

Very interesting experience. Past mixed with new technologies. The place is huge, 3 floors, a lot of history, amazing views, interesting interactions like shouting from a bow and dressing up as peasants :)))) worth visiting. It took us 45 Minutes, but we were in a hurry. I think it may be a 2 hrs attraction. They have a little coffee inside and a souvenir shop. History lessons are done by interactive people on the screen. You can also watch cartoons about certain events around the castle.

My wife and I had a lovely 4 hour trip here on Saturday. It really was a great experience. My only criticism would be that the robin hood adventures was only about 25 minutes long and meant that we couldn't do all the games and watch the film that was showing too. Aside from that it was a great day and really interesting. Thank you

Great attraction for both children and adults. Lovely exhibitions on display, with plenty to see and keep you occupied for at least a couple of hours. We also ate in the café; prices were reasonable, and service was very good. The cave tour was also really interesting. Our guide James was very informative, and really brought the stories/history of the caves to life. Groups are small, and there’s plenty of time for photo opportunities. If you’re a Nottingham resident you get a slight reduction on the price of your ticket with proof of address. And don’t forget at the time of booking to ask for the free annual pass; meaning you can revisit the castle as often as you like for an entire year for free! Excellent value for money, and definitely worth a visit.

Went before it closed for second time very expensive and not impressed. But went again with grandson and his girlfriend on Sunday 30 July thought give it another go and miles better really had great day and ended our trip on cave tour with excellent tour guide and pint of Guinness in trip to Jerusalem and now can go again with same tickets so will be going again also café very nice
Raymondo Bradshaw — Google review
The castle is nice, however, the ticket price is high compared to what is inside and what you are going to do. Some galleries are alright, but it is not a museum and a full tour can be done in an hour. Also, the ticket does not include the cave tour, so you need to pay more for this and it has time slots.

So much to do! Cafe, museum, art, history, and children's craft activities. Plus a wonderful outdoor park. Plus a single day's admission costs the same as an annual pass, 12£ and children are free.

Easy day activity. We went for Christmas market which was busy and had a lot of good food and things to buy. I was disappointed by how expensive everything was I would have been more inclined to buy something if the price was more fair. £1 entry was good which included free entry to the castle/ gallery & markets with live entertainment. Would definitely recommend for the experience.

I really enjoy wandering around the castle grounds on a sunny day, and taking a look at the art gallery and museum when the weather is not so good. 2 nice cafes and a lovely atmosphere. Tours available but not got around to it yet.

Great place to visit. Beautiful castle with great expositions. Friendly staff with great knowledge relating the history of the place and expositions. Are games to play or dress in mediavel accessories witch you have to return before you live the castle . It is a lovely tea room on site. Beautiful view dow from the castle. They have a souvenir shop .If you want to do the tour for the tunnels under te castle make sure you pre book your tri online. This trip is not included in the entrance price. It is a bit difficult to found a parking space near by.

Awesome interactive and family friendly art gallery and museum with fun activities for kids and adults! Lots of games and local Nottingham history including some lace exhibitions. Kids under 15 go free and we only paid £12 per adult for unlimited access for a year. Will definitely come back again!

This is a great experience overall, particularly for kids. There are many interactive displays, with the archery and quarter staff being very popular. Lots of interesting historical stories presented in very engaging ways (the noose display is bold). The outdoor play area is really well done and if you’re lucky the views from there are stunning. Kids go free and the ticket can be used for a year.
James Warfield — Google review
Plenty to do but it's not really a castle in the true sense. It was a castle and there are remnants of it and the building that is now there was a stately home I think. The ticket you purchase gives you access to the grounds for a year and we visited over two days. I would recommend you do the Robin Hood experience first which is the first entrance you can see when leaving the shop and ticket office. Some good interactive boards, virtual archery and virtual combat, all good fun. Some fun easy games in the medieval area and the rebellion gallery certainly kept my attention with portrayals of Nottingham castle's history. There's a more formal art gallery and currently an exhibition about people moving to Nottingham from the Caribbean and their heritage. Another thing recommended is a tour of the man made caves that wind their way throughout the hillside. The tour guide had superb knowledge and presented in a really interesting manner, Alrighty! I forgot to mention the views from the balcony are interesting and you can see many of the iconic landmarks of Nottingham. The coffee was good from the cafe in the castle that sells a selection of light meals and cakes etc. Presumably the one attached to the shop is similar. Finally the adventure play ground looks interesting and is suitable for children up to the age of 12. All in all a worthwhile trip.

The City of Caves is a tourist attraction located in the Broadmarsh Centre in Nottingham. It is home to many different caves, including morning caves which are dyed in the Middle Ages. The most convenient opening is at Broadmarsh shopping center. There are also domestic and industrial caves available, as well as guided performances with Archie and Annie the archaeologists.
Absolutely stunning! First off, the entrance is a bit hard to find, especially if you're navigating via Google Maps. Take the stairs next to the Contemporary museum and head all the way down, it's basically under the bridge, at the bottom of the stairs. Once you've found it, it's a fantastic place! There are over 800 caves under Nottingham, every single one is man-made and had a specific purpose, including the only underground tannery in the UK. The tour is done with a free audio guide that elaborates on all the little details and stories behind the various places you visit, taking about 40 minutes altogether. It's very informative and goes into depth on the history and uses of these caves. A fascinating place, not to be missed!

What an amazing place to visit! Situated 3 minutes walk from The Museum of Justice. Quick introduction from the guide and you make your way underground. Proper footwear and a jumper recommended as it's quite cool down there and the surface is not even. The whole experience was unique and it took about an hour to complete the tour. The guide (Natasha) was awesome and she kept all of us interested and entertained. You learn about city's rich history with a bit of joke and fun on top. Gift shop available at the entrance. Definitely worth visiting while your in Nottingham.

The City of Caves is a extremely fascinating place to visit. A little difficult to find to be honest but we'll worth the effort. Our guide Andy was very knowledgeable and humorous. I'd recommend sensible footwear when visiting and it might be a challenge if you have mobility issues. Only criticism the tour wasn't that long in my opinion but, still a great place to visit. Definitely recommend.

We did not know what to expect, and it definitely blew our minds. We parked at a bus station car park, and it was a very short walk to get to the caves. Easy to find. Staff were very friendly and helpful, tickets cost us 17.50 for two people on a weekday. The young lady explained the rules and helped to get the audio set up. It is audio tour, approx 40 min. The caves are quite big and there is so much to see. It was a circular walk. Crazy to think that all of this is hidden under the city. Definitely recommend visiting. And it is good value for money. Hopefully will be back at some point in a future.

Loved going here it was a little hard to fi down but once you know where you are going it's nice, had to download the audio and have a set of headphones and you have to go on their WiFi as there is not much signal down there, I really enjoyed listening to the audio and listen to the story's behind what is down there I would definitely recommend going here to try if you have not already. I would go again if I was to take someone that wanted to go if they hadn't been already, the audio also tells you to mind your steps and head. I booked this over the phone, you can pay over the phone or on entry.

So much fun. Had zero expectations- a cave is a cave, right? But oh my - these are MAN made and our guide gave us a fantastic (Broadway worthy) tour. It was if we traveled through time. Learned so much. Even my teen managed a smile or two! Tips - get tickets in advance, wear good shoes, don't give up looking for it (please get better signage), and unleash your imagination.

Great museum to see. You learn alot about Nottingham how everyone live in the caves when we were cavemen! You will need to book in advance by a few days if you want to plan the city of caves and the national justice museum in the same day for the time slot you require.

Not your average family excursion! This guided tour showed the underground history of Nottingham from the Roman period to modern times. Tours were a bit crowded and rushed towards the end, great for school-aged children and older. You can purchase your ticket online, at the entrance or at the museum of justice.

Hidden under a bridge near the Bus Station, spent around an hour. Unfortunately no guided tour but an audio tour downloaded onto your phone instead. Helpful staff. No suitable for disabled due to the nature of the caves. Good place to go if you like local history.

Good place to find our some history and have a wander around some caves in a city centre, not many places can offer that. Pretty well thought out as there is an audio guide that you listen on your phone to and the qr code is dotted around almost exactly in the place I lost it as I closed the window it was on. If you do, get the combined ticket with the justice museum as it saves you a bit of money, and both are great to go to.

Excellent experience. The tour was 45 minutes long and the person conducting the tour was amazing and passionate. We really enjoyed it, though as feedback, i would have really appreciated that he talked a little bit slower, as not being native made it a little difficult to understand. I would suggest not taking small kids.

A fantastic hidden gem. If you visit the National Justice Museum, you can do both on a joint ticket. We had Natasha as our guide and she was fun and knowledgeable telling us about the history of the cave, there use as cellars, beer stores, ice rooms, tannery and air raid shelters. You can also see remains of past buildings hidden under the streets of Nottingham. Few steps and uneven floors as well as low bits but you are warned. Little shop, no toilets

Excellent greeting, very interesting story, just the right amount of information and time (40 mins). Audio guide downloads to your phone, ok on speaker if it's quiet, but earphones would cut out other users nearby. Well worth a visit, reasonably priced too. No tacky gift shop either !

Brilliant. Why on earth haven't we been here before now !! On our doorstep !! So, an easy tram ride in. A walk to The Contemporary and steps down the side of the building, towards a little skate park. Caves entrance on the right. £7 entry - worth every penny. There's steps down, and uneven floors, but nothing excessive. Really interesting to hear the various uses of these caves and tunnels, either via headphones or an app on your phone. Takes about 45 mins - an hour. These caves have been in use for hundreds of years, last used for housing in the 1920s. There's also a little gift shop, video to watch (but no toilets on site - suggested nearest are at The Galleries of Justice, minutes away). Great visit on a rainy day. It's suggested that you book a time slot, especially at peak holiday times.

Exploring the City of Caves was an incredible journey into Nottingham's underground history! The tour guides were knowledgeable, and the caves themselves were fascinating. Just remember to book in advance to secure your spot. However, the limited availability for walk-ins was a slight inconvenience.

The difficulty we had trying to locate the City of Caves (poor signage around the city and even locals weren’t sure!) was offset by the welcoming staff. Luckily we didn’t wait long for bright and breezy Natasha to take us below and tell the fascinating history of these caves. A revelation indeed and presented with flair and fun. Well worth the entrance fee too.

Really interesting place. Never really knew this place existed. Very glad the caves were saved from the broadmarsh fiasco of the 70s. The guide we have was hilarious. A sort of informative uncle. Terrible dad jokes. But really knew his stuff. I think he siento a little too long on stuff as we ran through the Victorian section to catch up. But an interesting place and looks amazing.

The National Justice Museum in Nottingham is a popular tourist attraction that tells the story of crime, punishment and law from ancient times to the present day. Highlights include exhibits about Oscar Wilde and the Great Train Robbery, as well as displays about courtroom proceedings and police stations.
It was a very fun tour. There were performances throughout the day. We watched the trial of the cheese rioters and a public hanging. Both very fun and interesting. They really give you a sense of what trials and hangings look like back in the days. Definitely worth a visit if not for the various prison cells underneath then for the public hanging.
Chengxi Sun — Google review
An interesting experience for sure. The national justice museum holds a lot of interesting information, including very old gaol cells and a Victorian courtroom. The whole experience is spruced up with a few actors who stage a variety of events, including a trial of the cheese rioters, and a hanging in the court hard. They also lurk about the place to answer questions and entertain visitors. The old cells are filled with exhibits and information on the judicial and specifically the punishment system in the area. It's well done, if a bit theatrical.
Bianca W — Google review
Such a fun experience! I’d have loved to spend more time going through everything in more detail but our group had several younger kids (under 10) who, though they enjoyed the offerings, weren’t as keen on the details as the adults were. The mock trial and “hanging” were really well done and I loved how they based the performances off of real life happenings. If you enjoy learning about how far we’ve come (or how backwards) our social “justice” system was/is, I definitely recommend taking this in while in Nottingham. They had an area dedicated to the inception of Forensic Science which was really well done! A very cool detail was the wrist band you were given upon entry had a “convict number” and throughout the museum, you would come across the stories of these real people. Very well done and an interactive way to educate and engage those visiting.

We had a great morning out and it's well worth the money. Its a labyrinth of a building with things over many floors. My dad came with us and sadly had to miss out on some things as he was struggling with his mobility. Sadly its just due to the building with it being listed and not being able to make adjustments to the whole building. But the staff were really accommodating, they were all lovely and the trial and hanging were great. Also the cafe in there is really quaint and the food was really good. There wasn't a huge selection but both of my fussy eater children found something they really enjoyed. We would visit again but we'd have to leave dad at home.

An absolutely lovely experience. All the actors are very funny, kind, and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the Gaol and the Court of the past. Apart from the shows, they are around the exhibits to show you about and answer any questions. You can tell they are genuinely passionate about the topic and highly devoted to their respective roles, and can tell you all the details of the history and use of each room. I learned a lot and heard several interesting anecdotes. The museum itself is very well done, with lots of interactive exhibits and firsthand accounts that are sure to make it a memorable experience for adults and children alike. Take my word - have a visit! :)

We visited this museum on a whim as it was across the road from our hotel and I'm so pleased we did. A fantastic museum looking into the history of how criminals were treated and punished in the very building itself. Amazing staff, taking on roles such as Barrister, Prisoner or Hangman, all being incredibly informative both in and out of character, bringing history alive. I'd definitely recommend timing your visit to be able to see the trial reenactment and public execution reenactment (no spoilers but it doesn't get gruesome, although you'll definitely know how the prisoners felt and will learn alot about how criminals were punished). Considering we popped in on a whim, we spent over 3 hours here, left feeling informed, entertained and grateful for finding such a fantastic museum.

Really loved our visit here and would recommend it to anyone in town! The building itself is really well preserved, especially considering its age. The courtroom is particularly magnificent, and the original cells are also impressive. There are plenty of artifacts to demonstrate history, which is done in a thoughtful, informative and sensitive way given some of the subjects. But the stand out is definitely the actors who totally bring it all to life in the courtroom, jail, women's wing and yard. Not only do they really make you a part of it, but they follow up with details and context. I only wish we had more time there!

An absolutely fantastic experience. The map confused us a bit due to all the levels and different routes through to so many areas, but it was all very well done. Lots of very interesting and somber displays, and tons of history, especially as you get all the way down to the pit. Highly recommended and definitely will do this again - plus next time we'll go earlier in the day so we have more time!

This is a interesting and informative place to visit. It's a bit of a rabbit warren of rooms and corridors and, to be honest more signage would have been useful. Also if you have any mobility issues it could be a problem seeing all the museum. This museum is definitely worth a visit and I would 100% visit here again.

An absolute must if you like social history, what a fantastic insight into our local jails,prisons,courts,convicts and their crimes. The harsh reality of the times, re enacted by 3 very talented in character guides. A courtroom drama and a public hanging. Lots to see, all set out in such a way to draw you into the terrible world that convicts faced 2 to 3 hundred years ago. Allow at least 2 hours....there are lots of steps and small spaces, but for me that adds to the drama. There are lifts to all the different levels in the building, good accessible toilets and a cafe. Book on line, you get a time slot....helps to keep an even spread of visitors. I also booked to see the caves...you get a discount, and there only 200 yards away.

Absolutely fantastic learning experience. We had the pleasure of receiving excellent performances from an individual playing a barrister and an individual playing a judge and hangman. The Barrister actor was exceptionally talented and well informed in history. She spent time talking to us about the history of the building and it was clear she has a passion for education.

It is a fascinating museum that takes you on a journey about crime throughout our history. Perceptions of criminals and the history of the justice system. The photo exhibition of Juvenile in Justice, photographed in America by Richard Ross, is very thought-provoking. It confronts and highlights the desperate need for social change, raising awareness of so many things wrong with our state systems regarding social deprivation and poverty, which often lead to crime. Nurture these communities with hope and opportunities, resources and tools, sports, art, and music for children to thrive, then less will be forced into crime to survive. The exhibition is brilliant in the way it gets this message across. We can all make a difference. Well worth visiting. What you learn here will stay with you.

We visited today 12/4/24 and thoroughly enjoyed our day. Super friendly staff organised our joint passes for both the museum and city of caves booking in advance and knew who we were as soon as we arrived, they couldn’t have been more helpful. The tour at the caves was fantastic and our tour guide (Holly) made it an interactive and a memorable experience for everyone. The Justice museum court case and courtyard hanging were entertaining and informative, it was a really great day out with the kids. Highly recommended!

Located in Sneinton, Nottingham, Green's Windmill and Science Centre is a popular tourist attraction that features a restored windmill tower and Kids' Discovery Zone. Visitors can learn about the historical importance of the windmill and scientist George Green before exploring the surrounding countryside.
Centuries old windmill (restored in 1947 after a fire) is still active today. Friendly hard-working millers operate and explain the functions and operations of machinery. Wasn't a busy place. Nice and cosy cafe and a back garden. All accessible free of charge. Even parking at designated car park was free. You can climb right through to the top. The exterior and interior are beautifully and classically restored and managed. A must visit if you are in Nottingham.

Beautiful old windmill. You can go up to different floors (very steep stairs!) and see how it all works. There’s a small science museum with interactive bits, highlighting the work of George Green who worked in the windmill and did scientific research there, despite leaving school at the age of 9. Nearby is a fantastic playground making it perfect for a visit with kids. £5 donation requested to keep the windmill and science museum going, which we gladly made.

A quiet and peaceful place that's worth the visit. The windmill itself has quite a bit of history. There's a small museum with fun science activities for kids. Also has a nice playground for kids.

Love this place. Excellent playground, generally quite underused. The windmill itself is cool, as is the tiny science museum attached to it. We easily spent 2 hours there, and the kids were begging to stay longer. The only criticism Id make is that it's really inaccessible - the mill itself, which is fair, but also just going up from the playground to the cafe/museum/toilets is difficult with a pram or a wheelchair.

It's a lovely, interesting place to go and visit. We went for the easter biscuit making which was so beautifully ran and my little boy enjoyed it, and the science pieces(3) we couldn't go up the windmill though as stairs were very steep and I had my 7mo with us. The community garden is also a lovely little place to visit. There is a little park opposite too, but don't expect to be here for more than 2 hours.

We had a great fun in this place. You can climb a few levels on a ladder to reach the top of Windmill. Very nice view from there. It's a small science museum with decent experiments. Also you can visit a small garden. It's a free entrance. Worth to visit

Getting here is an adventure of sorts as it is quite the walk up a hill. I am able to do it without issues. However, my 5 year old daughter struggled a bit. I needed to carry her up. If you plan on coming here, you should drive, arrange a ride or take a bus. We were greeted in the science centre area and given a brief explanation of the facilities. There are many levels to the windmill. My daughter didn't want to climb all the stairs, much to my chagrin, but seeing as I didn't want to leave her on her own, I didn't get to see the top level of the windmill. The view outside the windows on the lower levels is still something to behold. The science centre is on the small side. But there are still exhibits that held my daughter's attention for more than a minute.

Amazing place to visit with friends visiting Nottingham or just a family trip. It was sad to hear there are issues with funding for repair, so windmil is currently (28.5.2023) without sails, and they probably don't go up until next year. It is worth making a donation £5. To help preserve this beautiful still functional windmill. Volunteers are always friendly, they have got a good selection of hot drinks to fuel a family bike trip.

Very nice area and the Windmill is interesting to go through (the stairs are frightening) Issue with a large sign saying to speak to staff before entering the windmill and then staff saying to just go in. Very nice grounds and people seemed to be enjoying the activity centre.

Recently did group baking session here for around 10 adults, and whilst they don't often do adult groups, it was executed perfectly. They bulked up the ingredient portions and there was plenty (my pizza ended up being 2 meals), despite our ticket prices not changing! Plus they catered for dietary requirements well. We got a fab tour of the windmill and enjoyed looking round the science centre and the garden as well. The whole team there are excellent, thanks for making our visit great!

Green's Windmill is a lovely patch of green space in the heart of the city centre. There is a great play area at the foot of the mill and behind the mill is a wonderful community garden which is hidden away. The mill has a lot of history and is great for looking around. Sadly at the time of writing this review the sails are being repaired and the windmill is not operating. When it does the shop sells flour from the mill. A great place to visit.

Cafe
Located in the heart of Nottingham, The Pudding Pantry is a cosy cafe with a menu full of irresistible dishes and drinks. From American-style pancakes to skillet-cooked bacon and shakshuka, this is the place for anyone who loves good food and great coffee. With plenty of pancakes to choose from and classic diner favourites like burgers, salads, and pies, there's something for everyone at The Pudding Pantry.
Always had a great experience. Been here multiple times and the service has been amazing. Always a bit busy due to its popularity so can be a little wait but it’s so worth it for the food and quality of experience from the place. With always be a favourite with the amount of food and the creativity put in to create not only great tasting but really pretty dishes and drinks.

The Pudding Pantry is a little gem slightly hidden from the main Trinity Square area by being down a connecting leg towards TK Max. However, search for it because the food is fantastic. The setting is wonderful with the feel of an old fashioned eatery with outdoor as well as indoor seating, and attentive but not over bearing staff but the real star is the food. I had the Pantry breakfast & what a feast - country sausage, streaky bacon, eggs your way (I had scrambled), on-vine roasted tomatoes, garlic mushrooms, home made beans and 2 fluffy, delicious American style pancakes with warm, runny maple syrup. I added a side of toast which is available in 3 flavours. What a feast! For the eyes as well as the stomach & I can confirm that it tasted as good as it looked. One small thing that really made my meal - the salt and pepper pots were not pots but little grinders - really easy to use & just fitted with the whole easy atmosphere of the place. My dining companions each had 4 pancakes with accompaniments and confirmed that these were the best pancakes they'd ever tasted. We have only scratched the surface of the menu. With artisan coffee and lots of options this is a place we will be coming back to. It's not a huge place so you may have to wait a short time for a table, but the wait is worth it. Service is quick and efficient, but also very friendly. Put it on your list of places to visit in Nottingham and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Nice and cosy little place for breakfast/brunch in Nottingham City Centre. The meals are delicious with massive portion sizes - pancakes make it extra filling. Although the atmosphere was a bit cramped, it was lovely and well decorated. We ordered the following: •The Full Pantry (with extra egg) •Ham Hock Hash (with extra eggs) •Apple Crumble •Homemade Chai Major downside is the service which can be extremely slow when busy - was ignored by some staff who avoided eye contact. The other staff were quite welcoming though. Nevertheless, worth a visit for the experience and I would go again, maybe at a quieter time!

We didn’t know where we wanted to go from brunch then came across to this lovely place. No regrets! Pancakes were so fluffy and tasty. The salmon was an icing on the cake for each meal we have.

Great little spot for breakfast/brunch in Nottingham City Centre if you’ve got a sweet tooth like I have! I’ve been to Sherwood before but this morning was the first time me and my girlfriend visited this location. The food is amazing and you get massive portions but luckily you can box up what you can’t eat to take away. They don’t take bookings and it does get busy so bear in mind it’s worth getting in early.

An absolutely delicious treat in the morning 🤩 I'm not a pancake person, but I guaranty I will be back here again 😍 As it was delicious! Worth to visit. The way Pantry is designed is very cure and cozy. I loved it as soon I put my feet over the threshold. Staff was polite and professional.

Lee and George were brilliant and made sure we were looked after. We had the bottomless afternoon tea and it was delicious! Not your typical afternoon tea as they had pastries and quiche as well as sandwiches. The Prosecco was left with us so we could top up as much as we liked throughout our 90 minutes (we weren’t rushed out at the end). Could also have tea alongside it if we wanted. We both really enjoyed it and would go back! Would definitely recommend booking in advance especially for weekends. Gave 4 stars for atmosphere as it was a bit cramped!

I visited on 9/10/2021 and I strongly recommend to drop by here and enjoy your teabreak and meal but when you visit here during the weekend, you need to wait on the queue and be paitent until entering. Price of menus is pretty reasonable and the amount of dish was enough to make the meal-deal. The service served by staff memebers were accommodating. They asked me; such as how I enjoy and the quality and amount of the ordered menu were enough for me? I was contented by the food and service. Anyway, this resturant is at least better than other places located in London.

First-time visitor and couldn't fault this place! I've walked past on so many occasions, seeing people queuing outside, waiting for a table. I'd ask myself "why?" and now I know!! The servers/staff are friendly and attentative. From ordering, to the food arriving, everything was done quickly, efficiently, and with a warm and friendly demeanour. When the food arrived, no one could fault it.....aside from saying there was actually too much!! With drinks, we spent just of £60 for 4 people, but it was well worth it, and kept us full for the majority of the day.

Had brunch here with a friend. It was very busy but we got a seat although we hadn’t pre booked. The vegan breakfast was very good. I also had the chocolate and Biscoff cake which was delicious. Very good menu with lots of food choices for all dietary requirements. My only issue was watching a member of staff set the table for a baby shower and placing their hand inside of all of the cups, which in my view is unhygienic. So maybe some staff training on how to set the tables without putting your hands inside of the cups and glasses. I throughly enjoyed my food and kept me for my long journey back home.

If you want to have a late brunch this chain is serving after 4pm brunch which other restaurants in Notts don’t do. The food is nice but not the best I’ve had However beverages are very good Good value for quantity There is always some waiting time but the waiters are very kind and quick.

Ordered chai latte and pancakes. The chai latte was literally warm water with a bit of ginger and probably a drop of milk in it. The pancakes were disappointing and not properly cooked as well. The maple syrup tasted like it had been watered down or something. Basically not real flavour in anything. This experience reminded me why I don't go to the pudding pantry and don't understand the hype.

Took my grandson here for lunch prior to the Theatre. We really liked the look of the venue, the staff were very attentive, the food was yummy but the music was far too loud, we could hardly hear each other. We like to talk whilst eating, it's a social thing. But unfortunately I left with a headache and my grandson even referred to the noise in the pudding pantry today when we were at a different venue in Lincoln. So perhaps you may consider turning the noise down a little so people could converse and stay a while longer.

We really enjoyed our brunch here! Delicious hot drinks & pancakes. Definitely worth a visit! Atmosphere was lovely and well decorated. Will definitely be coming back! Please bear in mind, when busy, you may have to wait outside for a table to become available. This was no issue to us but if you’re impatient like the woman in front of us, maybe go at a quieter time. She made a rude comment as we entered that we were seated before her. This is because she was waiting for a table for 4 to become available when we only needed a table for 2. Educate yourselves.

Popped in for a cup of hot chocolate only. But when entered inside, I was suddenly feeling like in cake land surrounded by many kinds of handmade pastries. I ordered a piece of delicious cake and coffee forgetting about hot chocolate. Very friendly atmosphere, and some people had American style pancakes that looked amazing. Next time will try their pancakes.

My first impression of Alchemilla was astonishing. I didn't expect the brick walls and atmosphere, it feels like a historic place, very green and private. The fine dining was as expected, great quality food and a great service. What really made this place unique was the artistic and culinary touch on every dish. I could feel the passion for smoke, fire and Japanese ingredients on each of the dishes. Elevating all the ingredients, for example a dish was made out of only mushrooms, and it was stunning! We had the pescatarian menu, and I ordered the optional Chawanmushi, and for me you can't miss out on the main dinner with Turbot, the Chawanmushi, the Mushroom dish and the Koji ice cream. Parking could be difficult, and I would suggest to park on NG7 3GD

A fabulous culinary treat. Choice of 7 or 10 course tasting menu which was very well thought through. Strong emphasise on reducing waste but not losing the focus on flavour. Staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Great drinks menu with some really unique options and it was brilliant to have a range of interesting and unique non-alcoholic options too. A fabulously relaxed evening. Definitely worth a visit.

It was a fantastic meal in wonderful surroundings. Each of the 10 courses of the taster menu came with a different and unique flavour with its own focus on what the star of that dish was. The service was great, striking the balance perfectly between professionalism and warmth whilst still not being afraid to give a little of their own personalities. Our visit was all that we hoped it would be. We had a fantastic few hours here and couldn't recommend Alchemilla enough. Thank you to all who made our night one to remember.

There are only a few places in my life that has completely taken me by surprise, and Alchemilla is one of the them. From the warm and welcoming staff, the amazing menu, to the wines, I can't thank them enough for putting together a memory that my husband and I will have for years. If you can afford it, do it. The restaurant is clean and the service is above and beyond, each willing to tell history and stories. Even asked the staff to sign my copy of the menu. Absolutely an amazing experience. Hopefully one day we can return!

Third time here and it is easily one of the best restaurants in the whole midlands. Alex is a genius in the kitchen, with inspiration from Japanese flavours and Uber modern cooking techniques and beautiful plates, the whole experience is worthy of the star, but beyond that, it’s a food experience that if it was in London, it would be easily £250 per head. So at £90 for 5 courses (which is easily 11-12 servings) I actually think it’s also fantastic value for some of the best food in the country.

Lunch One of Nottingham's finest restaurants. There's a reason why this restaurant has a Michelin star. They have a seasonal changing menu. All served in a beautiful Victorian carriage house with red brick vaulted arches. We had their 5 course menu £95. Now, available every service. Some restaurants would class it as 11 courses with all the snacks and bread. We're not going to list what we had. Just let the pics do the talking. We love Alex Bond, and his team are amazing.

Amazing food. Great service. Had the 7 course tasting menu, with lots of extras, was eating for about 3.5 hrs, and it was all delicious. I had the standard menu and my dining partner had the vegan, which was jus as impressive, no vegan after-thought menu, a proper, delicious selection of food that stands up alongside the standard menu. Canapés: Chalk stream trout was delicate, light and delicious. The pickled celeriac was a surprise, a good one! The hash brown was fantastic. Smoked scallop soup was incredible, I'd happily have a whole bowl full of it! The bread was really good with the cultured butters... And then came the actual menu... The squash course was excellent. Then came a delicious scallop, they know how to cook scallops here! The mushroom/liver dish was amazing, so much umami. The bream was also delicious, although both my partner and I felt that this course should have come before the mushroom course. I didn't have the optional beef course... The 'main course' of venison was incredible, beautifully cooked. The optional cheese selection looked good, I saw other diners enjoying them but didn't partake myself... The dessert courses were a bit odd for me... My dining partner loved them though... The Koji sake Lees was nice, I found the sauce a bit overwhelming at first, the caramelised corn was amazing. The chocolate dessert was a bit 'mushroomy' to begin with, but grew on me by the last mouthful. We didn't take the wine pairings, had a bottle of malbec instead. A great experience, if you can afford a visit, I would recommend!

Went for husband’s birthday. Travelling through Nottingham, and had read really good reviews about this place. Arrived on a Saturday and the restaurant was really busy, which was a good sign for us! Food and service did not disappoint. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Food was one of the best Indian cuisines we have ever eaten! The garlic chilli dish is a must! As a vegetarian, there were many options and portion sizes were generous. And to top it off, the staff brought out a cheesecake with a candle for the husband, which was unexpected but really appreciated! We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to others. Only saddened by the fact it’s not closer to home but if we are ever passing by the area again, we would definitely visit again!

Not quite lived up to its reputation but a pleasant experience. The staff is nice and even for a mid week early eve the restaurant was nearly full (restaurant week). The food was good quality. Pre-starters (poppadoms & chutneys) were tasty as were starters (paneer and aloo bahaji, reshmi kebab) but the portions of the latter were tiny. They came together with the mains which is not my preference. The mains (zaika gosht and lamb rogan fosh) were run of the mill, however, the lamb in zaika gosht was slightly dry. I was full and pleased after the meal but I was expecting more from "Indian fine dining". There are better Indian restaurants in Nottingham for slightly lower prices.

The ambience was beautiful, in fact I'd say the cover photo on here doesn't do it justice. The service was excellent -, genuine recommendations on sides to help us not over order for a start! Polite, professional and warm. The food was enjoyed by everyone, mostly meat eaters plus me, one vegan. As food is marked as vegetarian and/or containing dairy, I was able to pick items veggie and no dairy and then check if they were vegan which they were - based on this, there's a reasonable amount of choice. When naans were ordered for the table and I said I don't have that as it contains dairy, the waiter very politely and kindly suggested to the group to swap one of our naan portions for roti so I could have some. Everything was just wonderful, I would go back in a flash. I wish I'd taken photos... but I did take a video of the toilet, you'll see why if you watch it! Never seen this feature before hahaha!

This was probably my second or third time to have dinner in this place and just like always the dishes served tasted great and the service was very convenient and friendly. I made an online reservation and then made a slight change on it and all was properly handled. The staff was helpful and gave recommendations on what and how much to order so we ended up with good tasty choices and no leftovers. The place offers halal food and the staff was clear in confirming this fact and highlighting one menu item only that wasn’t. So if you are looking for this type of food then this place is a good choice. Expect to pay around 30 pounds per person for a satisfactory meal.

If you are eating for a special occasion don’t choose here you will agree if you do. The food was nice but for the price you pay you expect for example langar hall quality.

We've been coming here for around 8 years and tonight was a pretty poor experience. We booked for my dad's 75th birthday meal at Harts Restuarant. From booking in January to them not getting back to confirm the table, and me chasing early April to find out if it was not confirmed at all, only to be told that they could fit us is for a table of 8, 45 minutes after we wanted to - just sloppy really. The restaurant is in need of a refurb, the wallpaper is peeling off the walls and the carpets are all dirty, just not like it used to be and no care and attention to detail anymore. The service is now below average, waitress, banging down plates leaning over everyone, laying knives and forks down with no real care for presentation. This was one of the nice fine dining restaurants of its day, now its like you're going into a gastro pub where staff don't really care. Food - presentation was the upside, and this has remained high every time we visit. The beef and cod dishes that our party had were well cooked, however that alongside what looked like some chip shop chips brought out as a side, just looked totally off compared to the main dishes, like they'd gone down the road to a chippy and served these up alongside the main. We fed this back to the waitress but it went in one ear and out the other. Unfortunately I think this will be our last visit and we will be going to local run places where they put the customers first and don't hang on the coat tails of what was a good reputation without putting in any effort. Sorry Harts, your team need to get back to what they used to be and focus on quality, service and experience.

I booked a last minute stay in the garden room. The night manager and barman were super accommodating and made me feel really welcomed. Late night room service was sorted for an and all was good. Our garden room was lovely , the garden was shared by the other garden rooms but we were assured no no one was booked that night either side of us. Therefore when we were abruptly woken at 7.30 am by a ‘maintenance man ‘ walking loudly outside our patio garden whilst in our beds , we were really horrified. Even more so when he clearly saw us and carried on and then pitched his step ladders right outside our room!! Having reported this to reception we were met with ‘ oh, this shouldn’t have happened!!! As a local to nottingham business owner we thought we had found a very convenient ‘hidden gem’ bolt hole for potentially regular stay overs….. but I’m afraid this really put us off and ruined our lie in and our whole experience!!!

I haven’t stayed at the hotel but have eaten at the hotel restaurant many times and it has always been a very good experience. Food is beautiful and service is consistently good. We find it is especially nice to visit for lunch on a nice sunny day when you can sit outside and enjoy the peace and sun.

Everyone at this hotel was so nice and helpful! We'd been in a car accident and so my mother in law booked here as they're dog friendly (knowing how long a&e can take) and the whole experience with them was so comforting and pleasant. Simon was especially amazing! Even when our dog bled in the room and we had to rush her to the emergency vet, they got the room clean and were kind enough to not charge us for cleaning even after we offered. Their kindness was definitely needed and greatly appreciated, and we can't wait to come back and actually get to fully enjoy our stay! The rooms were so nice and breakfast was amazing, and to top it all off they were super accommodating to us being vegan!

I enjoyed Hart's pre-covid and was looking forward to returning, but was left a little disappointed. It was by no means a bad experience, but I was expecting excellent and would say the experience was adequate-good. Whilst the cod starter was great, the pork main was OK, and the service attention to detail was missing - and the 'new' dining room is in what was the bar area (now the 'old' main dining room is no more). Considering the fantastic alternatives Nottingham has to offer, this now feels overpriced for what it is.

Nice hotel in a beautiful neighborhood nearby yet culturally different from the crowded city center. It was quiet and peaceful. The room itself had little details to be improved, like the door to the garden being difficult to open, the toilet made a lot of noises requiring reflushing, and the shower failed to hold a consistent temperature. However, the best was super comfortable, the staff was incredibly kind, and at one point there was another room's puppy at our garden door asking to be friends. 🐶😍 Very satisfied and do recommend. Oh and the restaurant was very good. Traditional british food. Nothing special too creative however it was expertly done.

A group of 14 of us came for afternoon tea for my friends hen do. Service was good but the quality of the food was poor. It looked good and well presented but the cakes were over baked, and the scones were crusty, signs of too much baking powder. Sandwiches had also started to go a bit dry. Would not recommend for afternoon tea. Most of us didn't eat the cakes.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here with friends. As we are local to Nottingham we have not stayed here. The decor and atmosphere is refined but relaxed, especially for Sunday lunch which is family friendly. Service is efficient and food delicious. Would strongly recommend the partridge. Bloody Mary's were very special too

Wonderful hotel with first class friendly service. Great good both evening meal and breakfast. Rooms are not large which is usual for city centre hotel and its a great location. The rooms were clean and nice and the garden room was worth it to have access outside and a patio area. What sets the hotel apart was the truly outstanding helpfulness and friendly nature of every single one of the staff at every stage. Congratulations and thank you.

Spent a great 2 nights at Harts last weekend . Adam , the manager and all the staff were so helpful and friendly. The restaurant meal on both nights was superb. Nice touch to provide a half bottle of fresh milk in the room fridge for making tea. Wonderful location by the Park .

We had booked over the phone an afternoon tea for three celebrating an 80th birthday. Be aware there is no parking for diners and on street parking is expensive.The greeting by reception was very matter of fact and not welcoming and we were soon shocked to be told by the waitress that the restaurant had no booking for us and they couldn't conjure up an afternoon tea on the spur of the moment. When I questioned the main reception they found the booking details and they just hadn't passed it on to the restaurant. When they realised their mistake they got the chef to prepare one which after a long wait arrived and we ate with what felt like a lump in our throats. The waiter tried did his best to laugh it off but we had no apology from the manager. And overall felt our business wasn't valued. We felt like walking out and going elsewhere but didn't want to disappoint our guest any further and went ahead with our tea. Was so looking forward to this occasion and was very disappointed.

Staff and porters really shouldn’t be smoking under the windows of local residents next to your building. It stinks peoples homes out and reflects badly on your establishment. Car parking very questionable, access is difficult due to vehicles being parked awkwardly on corners and inappropriate places.

A special taster of Hambelton Bakery's bread, with a talk by Tim Hart, one of the co-founders together with some wonderful nibbles, put together by Chef using the various breads - fabulous 👌

Yamas Meze & Tapas Bar in Nottingham offers a contemporary and minimalistic setting with dark wooden furnishings, providing an authentic taste of the Mediterranean. Spanning two floors, the restaurant boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere that evokes the Mediterranean vibe.
The food is just amazing! We ordered mix for three people, but that was just a lot. The food kept on coming and all very tasty. The service is super friendly and quick. We had an amazing time. Thank you so much. Yamas!

Have been here many times with my partner, but this time I went with a party of 18. Have to say for a large party the service was excellent. We decided (or it was suggested) that most large parties go for the meze, which was great as you get to try many of the beautiful dishes. Be warned though, there is a LOT of food to get through and I doubt many parties get through it all. Unfortunately I have two complaints, the chicken skewers were dry and non descript and why on earth you would bring the big bowls of Greek salad out at the very end of the meal, when everyone can't finish what was left on the table already was beyond me and 3 out of the 5 bowls were untouched.

We ordered the Meze for four and it was brilliant. The waiter was really helpful and polite, he answered all the questions we had. If you have a meze for four it’ll be bigger. Don’t be fooled, the meze is not for the faint hearted! We were all stuffed by the end. Atmosphere was delightful, but not overly busy for a Saturday at 6. A perfect little slice of Greece with authentic food, drink and staff. This is my third time going and I’d go back in a heartbeat. Definitely one of the best in Notts.

This is a very surprising restaurant, aparently the place doesn't look much, a bit crowded, no design at all, nothing like the typical Grek restaurant, some of the staffs are a bit grumpy, but ok in the end..... buuuut the food is very good. We ordered a variety of small platters that were absolutely delicious, I been pleasantly surprised. The mains were quite large and good, but they were missing a salad, could be great to have a gyros with a bit of salad on a side, maybe they can take this comment as improvement for future menu. The place can be quite busy at certain times of the day so if you want to dine in group is better to book a table in advance.

A lovely Friday evening at Yamas! A great Greek Cypriot restaurant with amazing authentic food. We had lots of different dishes to share but I highly recommend the Lamb Souvlaki and Mousska - stunning! Great customer service and very welcoming. 10/10!

An unexpected treasure in an unusually wide back alley of Nottingham near Market Square. We went relatively early, about 6pm and there were quite a few customers in, but didn't seem too busy. Within about half an hour though the place was full. We shared a bottle of wine, nothing sophisticated, had a sharing meat platter, chicken and lamb souvlaki, pork sausages, halloumi on some meat with greek salad, tzatziki, tabbouleh and flatbread. All in all it was a nice meal, hearty but too much for 2, so we asked for some containers to take the rest home - and the following day our lunch was sorted. Service was quick, efficient and polite. Decor was way better than expected from the outside, in fact quite decent. Food was good too.

First time I've been here and it didn't disappoint. The food was amazing. We had the set meze and there was so much delicious food. The service was fantastic.

Yamas Meze & Tapas restaurant is outstanding! The staff were incredibly helpful in guiding us through their menu on our first visit. The food surpassed expectations; the Chicken souvlaki, Kleftico, and Falafel were all delightful choices. Highly recommended!

🇬🇷🫒 My favourite Greek restaurant 🫒 🇬🇷 6 of us shared the Meze Set Menu at this fabulous family run restaurant. 🔆This is a mouthwatering combination of hot & cold dishes, brought out in stages, that take you through the flavours of the Mediterranean cuisine. FINAL THOUGHT: Always delicious & a fabulous night out 😃

First time visiting and my friend and I had the tapas lunch menu. There's lots to choose from and I appreciate the gluten free options that are just as tasty (also vegan). The atmosphere is warm and inviting and so are the lovely staff. Our meal was piping hot, freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. The toilets are spotless but are downstairs. We will definitely be returning.

Had a great family night out here. We love Greek food and this was pretty authentic. One of the better Greek restaurants we have tried in the UK. Service was excellent (not like Greece!) and staff were very friendly. Good selection of international wines too. Highly recommended.
