    Quite possibly the best Wetherspoon's out of the city centre's four. Small rooftop terrace to enjoy the fresh air. Plenty of space on the ground floor with separate areas for private parties or groups. I had a Doom Bar for £1.99 which was okay considering probably first pulled of the day. If I return to this city I'd choose this one over the other three spoons

    The stars I gave to this place were for cleanliness, friendly staff and for how busy the place was during my last visit. But unfortunately I can't give five stars because drinks and food came for the adults of the table and my partner had to go to the bar to ask for my child's food. I fully understand that it was busy do it was fine that food took a while but the fact the children's food took so long we had to fetch it ourselves wasn't the best. Also the portion sizes seem to be getting smaller and smaller each time I visit which isn't the best considering prices seem to have gone up.

    Very hit /miss here, really depends on who's in the kitchen and what you order. Char grilled Chicken, Jacket potato and peas. Potato and chicken were okay. Peas cold and like bullets. No one around to complain to, not busy. Won't be ordering that again, and will avoid Wednesday evenings. Another table close to us had missing items. Four, to be precise.

    I Wish. I when to McDonald. Get more for your money. Its the 1st time I've been to Wetherspoons. And the last. The place was a mess dirty plates ever where. And the Food was Bad. The chips teste like Frozen McCain Home Chips Chunky. And the salad on the burger would not fill a snail up

    Decent Wetherspoon’s pub about 15 minutes walk from Nottingham Railway Station. Thirteen cask beers on handpump when I visited including a mild. I had the small traditional breakfast which was pretty good.

    Friendly and professional staff, good range of food and drink at good prices and great quality. Nice outdoor area and good facility having booth seating with charging points. Clean toilets. Definitely a place to go when in town

    Very busy and probably 6 deep at the bar. Busy and staff were struggling with the demand. A couple of friends used the app to order drinks but in the end they had to go find out where the drinks were after a 49 minute wait.

    We both ordered the same meal. Mine was barely warm but edible. My partners tasted funny and upon inspection found that the fillings were off and the bacon discoloured and almost green. We received a refund and left.

    Ordered a pint on the app (Friday evening). After an hour we decided to go so asked for money back, just to be told I'll get it within 5-7working days... They're quick to take your money though.

    The Roebucķ Ìnn is a wonderfuĺ place to eat and drink. Perfect professionalism and team leadership from management and also perfect table service. I always receive and pay for wonderful cooked food. I love everyone who works here and send them my love ❤️ admiration and respect. Well done, lots of love from Mark

    ...This is my go to bar when I am in Nottingham, usually for Sunday lunch either with friends or on my own. Plenty of seating available although there are times when it does get busy. Best to order via the Weatherspoons app on your phone at your table. Good waiting time for your meals and drinks depending on how busy it is. Staff are mostly friendly and helpful. Very good selection of meals and drinks, takeaway on some items available.

    Always had good food served here. Usually quick service too. A very reasonably priced pub in the heart of Nottingham.

    First time I’ve tried this Spoons, very good. They had 3 flat ciders on which is pretty good. I had the Christmas dinner which was very nice.

  • 5/5 LEE J. 11 months ago on Google
    What's not to love about a wetherspoons pub. Great selection of drinks and good food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff,quick service, and the usual hike up 2 flights of stairs to the toilet.

  • 1/5 Terry B. 10 months ago on Google
    5-6 minute wait at bar 3 bar staff quite slow only 5 customers at the bar at this time,with another behind them doing app orders(1 drink)but just walking around behind bar waiting for another order instead of getting the queue down Fish & chips just about edible different coloured chips and thin batter on very fin Cod,No check back to see if it was ok so quite disappointing to be honest

  • 5/5 Hitesh K. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice place, spacious and clean A nice decor Has two floors. Great value too. A good range of drinks. We had a couple of Jaegar bombs, but the drink was not called Jaegar misteir. A couple of leffes served in nice Leffe glasses All for less then £20 pounds I’ll definitely be returning, when I’m back in Nottingham. Standard food menu was also excellent value.

    It's a Spoons, you know what you are getting. Cheap and cheerful with polite and friendly staff. I always enjoy a pitcher of cocktail after going to a gig and then back at 0800 for a lovely full English. What's not to like?

    Nice on a Sunday morning for a Wetherspoon’s breakfast. Served on a warm plate. Nice and quiet at 8:30. People started to drift in after us. Staff friendly. Breakfast came quickly. Lots of choice of seating areas. And of course a picture of their personalised carpet.

    Sunday breakfast at 8am after a night shift, with a friend. Where else? Lovely barpersonlady, good value for money food, best 'spoons in town👍😃

    March 2nd my husband and I suffered a mouth injury by three men inside the Pub. To make matters worse the pub guard threw us out. We are 62 years old. This bar is dangerous

  • 4/5 Mike B. 1 year ago on Google
    On our mid afternoon arrival there were no bar staff present, but they soon appeared. Two of the beer pumps right before your eyes actually had no beer available. The third choice we got was a good pint, so all good in the end. Fairly busy, so a lot of people like the low costs of the drinks available. Staff cleared the tables promptly and it was clean and tidy. Just need to look after the cellar better, so as not to limit the beer choices.

  • 4/5 Pat S. 1 year ago on Google
    Picked a busy lunchtime to pop in, was lucky to find a seat/ table. Because we was short on time we order Fish & chips. Waiting wasn't long & the fish was lovely not over battered & rest of the meal was lovely.

  • 5/5 Ian L. 2 years ago on Google
    Needed a good meal following a drive from Lowestoft to Travelodge at Kegworth service area. This was nearby and fitted the bill. Food was of high standard and service was pretty quick considering all was cooked fresh.

  • 5/5 Sean H. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical Wetherspoons, good prices, good service and good table service on the App. If the weathers good, the open top floor is excellent, as you're close to the toilets, helps you avoid getting a Sherpa in to help you climb the standard Spoons stairs👍

  • 4/5 Kam 2 years ago on Google
    It's big pub, with lots of space for dining. Was very busy when I went on Monday lunch time about 1.30 pm. A lot of people taking up the offer on the food deals. Had a long wait at the bar, due to most people ordering food, staff were all very friendly and polite. I would of like to of seen more staff taking orders, to keep the que down. The pub is nice but could do with a update on the decor to refresh the interior of the pub. But the wait for the food was worth it, good portions and very tasty. Would visit again, but go earlier.
