Probably the best carvery in Nottingham. Always consistently the best everytime. Great helpful staff especially the lady on the carvery, nothing too much trouble for her. Well done all & thank you.

An overall very pleasant place, where a wide range of drinks can be served, with very professional staff. A place of prestige outside of the busy area of the city. A definitely nice range of foods served during the day and an overall worthy local experience. The cultural heritage of the place is unique in its own way and keeps the tone of its old(but actual) self. A definitely go to in the future.

Just visited the Vale again nearly 2 years since the last time. Pleasantly pleased to see the pub still operating as usual. Staff and customers still Covid aware. Felt relatively safe. Good range of beers well maintained (camra card accepted). Nicely cooked meals available plus the popular carvery still running. Will definitely return.

No Currys on the menu,but saw one on the photo section,please get a curry on,and rid a couple of burgery things.my fish to well fried so wrapped it up for our cub foxes!can't waste food,not even poor food!

I have never had such awful food. The cabbage was boiled to death, translucent and swimming in water. This transferred to my plate and my food was drowning - all a soggy mess. The FROZEN Yorkshire pudding turned to gloop. A lot of food at the carvery had run out with a while to wait for more. Greasy (almost deep fried) roast potatoes, and my partners beef looked like the sole of a shoe. We hardly ate any food it was so terrible. Staff gave a full refund and the service was good. To top it all off - a spider with creatures in its web - which hung from the ceiling - was above our table and made me feel sick. I didn’t even drink my drink..we just left!! Update: after such a terrible meal (which we didn’t eat) I emailed the head office. They have not responded or acknowledged my complaint, adding a lack of customer service to poor hygiene and revolting food. A family meal is a treat and was something we looked forward to, so our day and meal ruined. Their lack of communication around my email - ironically, says so much!!!

Brilliant food. So tasty!! Definitely worth a visit for the carvery.

Amazing pub! Always a joy to go there, staff are friendly, carvery is lovely too! Sunday evening is always fun with the quiz and sticky’s and they now do a charity quiz night too which is so nice to be involved with! Excellent place recommend to everyone!

Amazing carvery, full of flavour and obviously home cooked. Best cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes ever. Great price, and friendly staff, especially Cassie who made us feel relaxed and welcome.

We held our sons 30th birthday party at the Vale, What an absolute legend, the food was amazing, the staff and locals were polite and accommodating.We had a fantastic time. We hired the function room with our own DJ. however, The pub also offered a live band in the main bar and we were able to commute back and forth. The pub dons a large car park with brilliant restroom facilities. I’ve already booked my table for quiz night! Thank you and see you soon

Had my youngest daughters 21st Birthday Party 🥳🎉 there tonight. Staff were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent. Thank you so much to you all, for making our night a fantastic one. Dawn.

We have been going to the Vale carvery for years and have never been disappointed. It is very high quality food at a good price. The staff are lovely

I would like to send a very big thank you to all the staff and owners who went above and beyond, to make my grandsons 30th birthday a night to remember, the buffet was amazing and atmosphere fantastic, we will definitely be having more party's there, thanks again xx

Jamaican night was vile.. no meat all bone, Mac and cheese was watery dumplings tasted like doughnuts and the guy who served it was rude! And really tight on the food. Deffo do not recommend 🤮

Wonderful, friendly pub with a comfortable atmosphere. Great selection of quality beers. Food is excellent value and well cooked. Tasty Caribbean food is available on Wednesday nights. Top chef, top staff, top landlord!

Service=took ages to get served only 1 member of staff on the bar. Carvery Food = Had better before & the man who was serving the Carvery food was facetious. The Menu food = Portions were much smaller this time for the price + prices more expensive. Atmosphere was amazing, because of the Company I was with. Parking has become more difficult = boldered off between each side.

A Christmas meal for 46 of us , ( nifty fifties club ) the food was very good , the service and staff were friendly, hardworking and efficient. Also great value at only £15.95 for 3 courses . Would definitely recommend !

We had our branch meeting at the Vale for the first time, we were made welcome, the room was warm, and non alcoholic drinks were not to expensive, plenty of parking, easy to get to,highly recommended buy all our club members.

I went in for a carvery and I wasn't disappointed. It was lovely. I got loads of meat and they served proper vegetables. It was hot too.the gravy was proper beef gravy to complement the roast beef. I must say,I've been to Toby carvery and the Vale knocks spots off it. I will only use the Vale from now on.

Very busy didn't try food but there was a lot of families so it must be good for kids.

Excellent service drinks and food excellent quality and reasonable price, very clean and well maintained. Good polite staff

Love this place! We take kids down on a Sunday for a carvery, it’s their favourite!! You’re missing out if you haven’t been! 😍

Poped in here on our way to an explore,had a latte was really nice and fare price,staff was warm welcome and friendly,toilets were nice and clean,carvery looked amazing from what i could see but we did not eat here

I love it here! Since the new management the Vale has a lively atmosphere! Can I just say the carvery! Yes it is insane! If you looking for a friendly, community pub with amazing food then this is the spot! I love to support local businesses, thank you for the amazing custom Everytime! See you at the weekend

Good pub great food staff veary friendly was a great night 4 lens 90 birthday bash

Don't know weather they have cover staff on today (Sunday) but that cavrey iv just had was like chewing socks, disgusting 🤢 this used to be tasty food. Everything's dried out over cooked and the meets not much better

Great beer. Great company. I'm not from round the area but i was made to feel so welcome it made a great night

Since change in management the pub is again a lovely positive friendly pub. Fabulous positive attitude. New toilet seat. Great changes happening. Very happy to support!

I went there for an event in the room to hire and it was fantastic. The DJ was really good and friendly, food was amazing and the bar service was good as well. Really good experience. Everyone enjoyed the party and had a good time.

The carvery was very nice I was absolutely stuffed after and could hardly walk. It was very busy in there and frustrating getting a table as we couldn't work out if we find our own or wait to be seated and the staff wasn't that helpful. The dinner made up for it though lovely beef, a wide choice of veg and lovely thick gravey. I will definitely go again and hopefully find a table quicker

Had an early evening meal for 4, plenty of room for us. Didn't have to book and were ok with us having our dog with us, a border collie which got on well with their collie. Very friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit and not too expensive. Even had a quiz night whilst we were there.

Loved the carvery had to go home and have a nap because my belly was full.

Nice pub, friendly staff and was clean I enjoyed my trip today had a lovely hour there.

We had carvery and food off the menu. Who deep fries stuffing and roast potatoes. All food was bland and tasteless. And as for the burger it was that dry like eating a rice cake! This place has gone downhill! Save your money and don’t bother!
