A proper country pub on the edge of Nottingham with free parking outside, room to get a pram in, and high chairs waiting — the kind of place where a family lunch doesn't feel like an imposition. The cooking is the draw: the steak and ale pie gets talked about for years afterwards, the battered haddock arrives with homemade chips, and the Sunday sharing platter is the sort of roast people drive out for. Portions are generous, prices fair for the quality, and there's a kids' menu plus vegan options and outdoor seating for warmer days. Staff are friendly and quick to put things right. Worth knowing: it's busy enough that food can take a while at peak times, so book ahead and bring something to occupy small hands while you wait.
