Nag's Head

This famous, historic old pub is still going and looking smart. No real ale when I went but a warm welcome, home made beef stew and mash and friendly regulars, staff and landlord.

UPDATE MARCH 2019: CLOSED PENDING A NEW LANDLORD

Raglan Road

This one's for Ged Dowling who kindly recommended I visited this Derby Road boozer, and I'm glad I did. I hadn't been since it was the Hawksley and it was quiet on the Friday lunchtime that I went but it's a smart pub with great Doom Bar and a smart interior. Best of all there's a tribute to the iconic Nottingham based film "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning" on the wall. Quite different to the Hand and Heart next door. This pub offers more mainstream beers and they were well kept. You also get footy on the TV as well as a great upstairs smoking terrace.

The Nurseryman

A typical Greene King pub - smart, modern interior, sports on the TV but a warm welcome and great IPA.
