This is a genuinely atmospheric Nottingham pub: old-fashioned rooms, fireside charm, a roof garden, live piano, and plenty of house beer. Food is better than incidental pub fare, with especially good roasts and respectable pizza, though execution and menu choices have not been perfectly steady. Try: Sunday roast.
This cosy Blue Monkey brewpub leans hard into well-kept ales, fires, board games and a friendly, mixed-age crowd, with rooftop and outdoor seating adding appeal. The small food offering is better than incidental pub snacks, though the evidence is thinner than for the drinks. Try: pork pies.

Caspian is a busy, no-frills Nottingham takeaway with loyal regulars, generous portions, and unusually warm staff interactions. The kebabs and pizzas can be excellent, but delivery delays, order errors, and occasional uneven cooking are recurring blemishes. Try: Doner kebab.
