After a wonderful morning, walking & talking with a friend in lovely autumn weather along the Embankment in Nottingham, we ended at the Poppy and Pint in Lady Bay for well-deserved refreshments. They offer coffee or tea, and cake for just £4.95, with a wide selection of cakes. We had a slice of the dark chocolate fruit & nut, and the maple & pecan cakes. The other cakes all looked mouth-wateringly good. I’ll definitely be popping back to try them. Well worth a visit 😊

I came here for a birthday meal, The evening started well, The staff were friendly and welcoming. Small choice on the specials board, there is a separate menu, but this isn't on the tables and we only found it by chance. Large choice of real ales on tap, few guest ciders, but would be nice to see more. Good portion sizes for the mains, if not too much, there was loads of mashed potato with the braised beef, so much so I couldn't manage it all. Wanting pudding afterwards, we had to again ask if they did puddings and if there was a menu, they do sticky toffee pudding and melt in the middle chocolate cake on there every day menu, then a range of cakes, that are in a separate fridge, but if I hadn't of asked, we wouldn't of known about them. After ordering the desserts, we were told that there was no longer any lemon sponge , when we ordered there were 2 pieces left, so the lady who served us, should have taken those pieces off sale, so that no one else could buy them. Again good sized puddings, but the bowls are covered with syrup for decoration, but it just made a mess and got everywhere. While still eating our puddings and having another round of drinks, we were asked if we were staying for the quiz, as the pub was getting busy and people were looking for tables. So we had 2 courses and 3 rounds of drinks and then felt we were being thrown out, they didn't seem to ask any of the other people dinning , if they were staying as they needed the tables. It's a shame really, as it seemed like such a lovely pub and we would probably have come back, but don't think we will be returning any time soon.

In the former West Bridgford branch of the Royal British Legion this refurbished building still retains traces of its former occupancy with photographs, plaques and memorabilia in this spacious, busy and vibrant pub. The bar staff are friendly and eager to serve the choice of drinks is extensive and a good selection whether you drink alcohol or non-alcoholic. Core Draught Ales and Cask Ales brewed by the local Castle Rock brewery who own and run the pub are favourites with some of the leading bottled beers and ciders in the country served as well as the award winners from Castle Rock and a varied and large selection of soft drinks in bottles and on tap. Food is served here and they have a separate dining area as well as space in the main bar room for diners, but on this busy evening (England v France World Cup Quarter Finals) the dining room was relatively quiet but the bar was full to bursting. As a party of 8 we were surprised to find there were no other diners. We had booked relatively easily for the Festive Christmas dinner menu at £24 for 3 courses and with it being a Saturday night we expected it to be busier than it actually was. The wait staff were excellent bringing each course promptly with enough time for us to eat and chatter before the next course arrived. We were not asked every five minutes "is everything is Okay?" which drives me potty especially when you have a mouth full of food and struggle to answer. We were allowed to just enjoy ourselves with someone discretely watching in case we needed anything. What was a surprise though was the dining area had a sign on it advising of a private function and the room was not in use although other diners did appear later in the evening. The food was hot and plentiful with a varied menu suitable for everyone included vegan, vegetarian and gluten intolerant. The starters were huge and could quite easily be served as a main dish themselves or a sharing dish. I only saw a few of the starters but each and every one was appetising. The prawn salad was clearly enough for two as a sharing starter as was the goats cheese salad with its whole goats cheese truckle, the blue cheese butternut squash and onion tartlet was around 4.5 inches diameter and much bigger than expected. The main courses were even bigger. The turkey roulade was the size of a man’s fist with curls of crispy parsnip crisps and roast potatoes and looked so delicious I wish I had chosen that. Then the beef balanced on the horseradish mash looked pretty and I decided I should have ordered that but I ordered the confit duck with dauphinoise potatoes and spiced red cabbage and was glad I had chosen that. The meat flaked away from the bone and the gravy was so thick and rich I wanted more. The mushroom tartlet took up the majority of the plate and so crispy you could hear the crunch as my friend cut into it, this too had baby roast potatoes. There was a lentil loaf and fish available but none of us chose those dishes. Each main was accompanied with a dish the size of a dinner plate of vegetables, brussels, cabbage, green beans, broccoli and carrots and despite us all having plenty of veg there was still a lot returned. Dessert time was cheese cake, sticky toffee pudding, Christmas Loaf and mince pie sundae served with custard or cream or cheese and biscuits with a nice choice of crackers and two big slabs of cheese. Again these desserts were massive but by the time we got around to them dessert we were already full to bursting with such good food. All in all we had an excellent evening and a lot of good food and drink. Should I be asked if I recommend Poppy and Pint I would shout out a definite YES. Easy to reach from the major transport facilities with Trent Barton and NCT buses on Davis Road or NCT 11 on Trent Boulevard both 5 mins walk away. There is a car park outside and only 10 minutes from Trent Bridge.

The food is always spot on, whether it's a breakfast fry up, a Sunday roast or a classic pub dish. The staff are always welcoming and the range of beers is superb.

I has here on Christmas Eve which I realise is a very busy night for a lot of places but the cleanliness could have been improved, the toilets are dated but the atmosphere & vibe of the pub is great. The drinks selection is brilliant and they have the quirky liquors I love. Can't comment on the food as I haven't eaten here yet.

I regularly bring my mum for the Armed Forces breakfast at the end of the month. The food is always fresh and hot, there are staff who are attentive to everyone's needs and the room used is clean and warm.

Gorgeous Sunday lunch - I'm not veggie but couldn't resist a root veg bourguignon and it didn't disappoint. Welcoming local pub with good range of no/low alcohol ales

Lovely pub that can get busy on the weekend. They allow dogs in the bar, which some people may not like. My family love it though. For food, I usually pick off the specials board. My meals have always been tasty with generous portions. There's a wide selection of draught beers and other drinks to choose from. You can park outside but it's a bit tight and may be difficult to find a space when busy.

Came here for my xmas party a short while ago! Venison was delicious; perfectly cooked and flaked away beautifully. The jus was nice and gamey; potato was slightly too salty for me but the winter veg selection was good (although arrived too late so had to eat the venison on its own)!! Ordered stick toffee pudding with cream. All the custards turned up but not a cream pots for some reasons. Drinks were good - chilean merlot was nice! Service was great except for the late dishes and other bits. Atmosphere as brill!

Lovely pub, great food including vegan options. Lots of good beers on tap. Very family friendly which can be frustrating if you don't have kids.

This is a lovely pub with a great selection of beers & ciders. Service was good and there was plenty of space to sit and eat - call ahead to reserve a table.

If you get the opportunity to come to this hidden gem, you must try the cakes, they are lush. I haven't had the opportunity to eat here yet but I will the next time I go. As the entertainment, the pub quiz on Tuesday nights are really entertaining. They have a massive range of craft ales and beers.

The staff are quite wonderful, and the draft is great. We had the Elsie Mo. Peaceful, yet chirpy atmosphere. Toilets are always clean, even the Gents! Well done! Pub meals are as good as a pub typically gets. The fish is fresh, and there are various vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend!

The Poppy and Pint is an excellent bar with a great selection of food and beers. The bar is large and spacious with outdoor area with seating. It also has a function room upstairs. Bar staff are friendly. It is really nice bar to visit for a drink and a catch up with friends. Excellent food, good loyalty card program/app.

Love this place! All the staff are so friendly and helpful. We’ve been for the pub quiz a few times and the atmosphere is great. Good choice and variety of dishes and drinks and the food is always delicious. A little bit of a mix up with our 15 meal pre-order but food was produced quickly and came out piping hot. We will definitely be back.

Lots of staff, but I had to get thier attention although I was the only person waiting to be served! Ordered the lunchtime offer sausage and mash yet charged full price! Sausages were over cooked so the skin (shell) was like cardboard, peas like bullets, the mash was indistinct and the gravy was insipid, Would have mentioned my issues with the staff but no one came back to my table after serving my food, and again when I went to leave although I stood at the bar no one acknowledge me! So I left feeling what's going on here!!! We need to stop thinking that we are great and start being great!!!

Used this place as an oasis on our Saturday afternoon ramble from Holme Pierrepont. Had a pint and a half of Preservation, as it was so good, and a packet of incredible pork scratchings ( see photo ) I hope to return in the near future , especially as the staff are so helpful and friendly.

The Poppy and Pint was a great pitstop with the fam after a good walk along the Gamston canal. Nice pub with a great atmosphere. And great now there's additional seating in the car park since COVID.

I cannot thank these guys enough! The staff at Poppy & Pint really do go above and beyond. Myself and my husband had our wedding reception in the function hall after years of planning and unplanning due to lockdowns. James you never failed to reassure me and help me along the way. Chelcie you was great to! You should be very proud of your staff! They are genuine, kind people. The food was incredible! Perfect in every way 😊 Thanks again ever so much guys! For everything, A day we won't forget that's for sure! All the best. Charley & Lewis

Smashing dinner. Can recommend the fish &chips, the Thai fishcakes and chilli cheese. Have a great selection of beers too. Excellent service. Will need to return.
