Restaurant · Nottingham
Cheap and cheerful is the honest headline here — Sunday roast around a tenner with a drink, curry nights, and app ordering that gets drinks to the table fast. Food comes out quickly, which matters when someone's patience is fraying, though it's uneven: the steaks and mixed grill draw real praise, the gammon is juicy, the milkshakes go down well with children, but the chicken parmigiana and nachos have disappointed. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access for a pram, plus free parking and outdoor seating for warmer days. Staff are generally warm and have handled children's birthday parties happily. Two snags worth knowing: it's often quiet enough to pick your own table, and the self-serve cutlery station by the door isn't always as clean as it should be.
