About Festival Inn

A big, busy Nottingham local where a round of fish and chips on a Friday costs very little and the menu runs long enough that fussy eaters and grandparents both find something. Parents mention the mixed grill and generous portions; the steak and ale pie can be hit and miss. High chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all sorted, and the car park is large and free, which takes the stress out of arriving. Staff come across as genuinely willing — one family hiring the function room said nothing was too much trouble. There's an outdoor seating area, though no playground, and the main bar has football on the screens, so it gets loud and lively at weekends. Book if you want a quieter corner away from the TVs.
