Pub · Nottingham
A proper local pub in Cottgrave with a free car park right beside the building and a little park where children can run off steam after eating. The carvery is the draw — three meats, roast potatoes people rave about, and portions that mean nobody leaves hungry — though the pizzas hold their own too, fluffy dough with crisp edges and toppings piled on. Bottomless sundaes and refillable ice cream will buy you a quiet ten minutes. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and outdoor tables all help, and the staff are warm with families and careful about dietary needs. Two honest caveats: food can arrive at very different times across a big table, up to 45 minutes on an off night, and the interior feels a bit gloomy despite the pretty exterior. Regular app deals keep it genuinely cheap. Dog friendly too.
