Rather than stay at an oversized and overpriced hotel in Nottingham after the cricket, we stayed overnight on the way back to Norfolk. First impressions were good as we were greeted from the man behind the bar with our names. Our rooms were more than adequate and very clean, but in need of redecoration. This pub has had CAMRA accolades and the four local-brewery handpump beers confirmed it. My beer was superb, both in flavour and serving – what a change from an overpriced hotel chain. Our suppers were freshly prepared and the breakfasts were fulsome. The scrambled eggs were done to order by someone who knew how to do it properly. This was all we wanted from this pub-with-rooms and we were pleased to have found the place. The pub itself, although perfectly acceptable inside, showed signs of neglect outside. It must have gone through a hard time due to the pandemic with an inability to reinvest. Did this affect our stay? No, and we’ll stay again when we come back from Trent Bridge.
