The Ruddington Arms

Really good service very attentive but not too "in your face". Very good food and good choice of beer. Overall it's a really nice pub and dining experience. Highly recommended

Lovely as ever, super food and excellent service. The puddings are heavenly, just so difficult to make a choice as they are all good. Looking forward to going back.

Visited on 07/03/16, business lunch with a client. Steak sandwich served in a ciabatta with chips and salad was very nice. The service was good and the food was served in good time. Will be revisiting.

Lovely pub, lovely food, would return! Few things were dropped and forgotten but quickly rectified for us. Nice to see some families with young children too so family friendly

Excellent customer service and lovely food for a great price. This is a great place for food or if you just want a quiet drink.

Would normally score this restaurant with a 6 but unfortunately on this Wednesday evening there were only 3 tables occupied, the room was cold and there was no atmosphere. At 9pm we were the only ones there. On a plus side, the food was excellent.

Food here is is consistently good, with attentive service and some interesting and carefully chosen wines you can buy by the glass, carafe and bottle. Choose the calves liver (as I did) and it is perfectly cooked to your liking, unusual in many gastropubs, and beautifully presented. RA is a firm favourite in our household.

My family and I had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch at the Ruddington Arms and will definitely return on our next visit to Nottingham. Gary

great choice of food and really good quality, all 6 of us enjoyed our meals. A friendly atmosphere in the pub made for a lovely evening.

This was our first visit to the Ruddington Arms,we had been recommended to try it by some friends. We were very impressed with the quality of the overall experience,the food and service was excellent.We will definitely be going back and recommending it.

The welcome was very good and the food excellent. I would say the service on the day wasn't so good, some of the junior members of staff didn't know what they were doing.

We visit different restaurants monthly, calling ourselves the Nuthall critics, and we have a scoring system? We were extremely disappointed. We arrived at 7.30 for our 7.45 booking and were told our table would be ready on time, but it was 8.00 before were seated. This wasn't a problem in itself but as the evening panned out the poor communication and service continued. On ordering the meal, the course was served approximately 40 minutes later, also not a problem but no one told us! We then had further waits to see the dessert menu, and receive the order, in fact if we hadn't beckoned the waitress over we wouldn't have got served. As for the food, it was only 'average'. Two of the party ordered the Salmon, which was good but the sides with it apart from the potatoes were inedible. One other ordered the burger which was good, and I ordered the slow cooked ham knuckle. This was reasonable but the meat did not fall off the bone like when I have eaten it before at other restaurants. Would we go back? No

The Ruddington Arms is one of our favourite eating places. The atmosphere is always lively and there is energy and warmth in the air. Mark and Sarah, your hosts, are throughly professional providing everything you may need for an enjoyable occasion be it a family gathering or a quiet meal for two. Food quality is superb and Mark as head chef brings a dish to life - look out for the specials as these are always worth a try. The range of wines is broad with something for all tastes and coupled with the Ruddy Ales and selection of gins you all too likely to be lead astray! Staff are responsive and eager to please. For all the above reasons the RA has become a destination and without a doubt it has brought a new dimension to the village of Ruddington. Try it, for a meal or just a drink with friends, you won't be disappointed. Graham and Jill.

I really enjoyed my visit to The Ruddington Arms. Fantastic food, great service, and very friendly staff made it a very enjoyable experience. I will be going back there again very soon.

Even though we reserved a table a week in advance, we were seated right next to the exit. The restaurant at the time was mostly empty. I found the wait staff rather rude and left. I'm sure the food would have been nice but the customer sevice was awful and I won't be returning.

bit expensive for a small village could do with being couple of £ cheaper per dish. Staff not over friendly. Some things have been on the menu since it opened could do with more variety changing more regulaly

Very good food served by helpful staff on a very busy Valentine's day. Thankfully no Valentine's gimmicks. Just a well balanced menu and a very good Argentinean Malbec.

We had a wonderful late lunch at the Ruddington Arms. Great food and great service. We're looking forward to returning very soon with the rest of the family.

Heard some good things about the RA from people local to it, so decided to travel the 5 miles to dine here. Atmosphere was lively , a bit brighter and more sparse in decor than expected . The food was certainly the highlight . The salt cod main dish was perfectly cooked and beautifully completed by a few roast veg. The goats cheese curd salad was inventive and full of textural flavour. Not as presentable as the other (cheaper) gastro-type pub in Ruddington , but the high standard of food definitely makes the Ruddington Arms worth a visit .

We went for Saturday lunch great atmosphere, service was excellent even though it was very busy very diverse choice of dishes. Food was delicious with goods service .

Amazing food - Service fantastic both front and back of house - will be back very soon. Thank you Mark and Sarah - Happy New Year to you all.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Helpful staff. Interesting menu with variety without being too massive. Beautifully presented food and very delicious. The chef cleArly had talent! Average prices. Would highly recommend.

Four enjoyable lunches, with good service. One small point. The Steak and Kidney pudding was short on kidney, which was a shame! Wont stop us going back however.

Our meal was excellent but there was a long wait before it arrived. I realise that it was Sunday lunchtime and the restaurant is at its busiest, but no doubt the kitchen takes this into account in its staffing arrangements. The waiters were very helpful and could not be criticised.

Easy to book the table. Staff friendly and efficient, good product knowledge and accommodated fussy eaters graciously! Food was brilliant, as always. We were really happy with our meals and the value for money.

Excellent food and very good service. Quite busy and boost on a Friday night but they had a lot of staff on and managed it well. Will definitely go again.

Place was nice, with good beer. Food was good, but quite over-priced for what it was. Menu did not offer a great deal of choice.

Staff was great, friendly and welcoming. That afternoon was cold outside so the staff moved our booking to a table closer to radiator to help us warm up. food was great as always and we have booked to return in Feb, thank you

Our meals were absolutely delicious! I I took one of the specials and I loved it. Nice staff, nice place (my only reservation : no wines menu with mains!) Excellent price/quality ratio

Excellent food, staff helpful and informative, place has a lovely relaxing atmosphere with lovely decor. Nice choice of items to purchase dotted around the place.

Lovely stylish interior and the food was simply gorgeous . Staff all great too . I've never had a pork chop that tasted so good x

We enjoyed excellent food and service in a pleasant atmosphere. The menu is comprehensive and there are always some interesting specials available. This is a place to go back to.

Ideal location outside Nottingham for lunch when visiting our son, good atmosphere and great choice of food and wine. Would definitely recommend and visit again when back in the area.

Great food. However we ordered nuts as an appetiser whilst waiting for our starter and a jug of water with our alcoholic drink order - neither arrived. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

A very friendly welcome after a longish drive in wintry weather. Decor clean and modern. (Loved the Belfast sink and quirky taps in the 'Boys Room'!) Good menu, with sufficient choices of meats and fish. Didn't have a starter, but desserts offered plenty of choice. Settled on a two flavoured sorbet. Not you average sorbet, I have to say!! Was it worth the journey? Absolutely! My main of Salt cod was to die for, and looking at the near empty plates of my fellow diners, we were all in agreement. Service was excellent, and although we had to wait a little longer than we would have expected, chef was kind enough to apologise. No great deal breaker this as we all concurred on an excellent meal, nicely served and at a price that wouldn't break the bank. We will certainly return to the Ruddington Arms in the future.

Food was really lovely, we brought some friends for the Sunday roast. it wasn't clear from the reservation that we would be in bar rather than restaurant but otherwise no complaints.

Good food served by pleasant staff in congenial surroundings. Sunday lunch is especially good. Reasonably priced as well. We would recommend the Ruddington Arms to anyone.

Very disappointed as table in doorway. If not booked for special occasion would have walked out. Ended up being put in bar although empty tables in restaurant still. Manager couldn't care less. If I owned the business I would be looking for new member as his customer service was poor. After main meal kept waiting. Had to ask for bill as could not wait any longer for service for desserts and drinks. Expensive bar meal. Will not be frequenting again.

The food is exceptionally good, the staff are efficient and friendly, a good ambience and a place you would be proud to take anyone to.

Great restaurant and quality food. Well recommended definabley worth a trip here. The service was great and friendly too. Home made food at its best
