Admiral Rodney — Restaurant in Nottingham

Have been going to this pub for 23 years - over the last few years visits have been less frequent as this pub is sadly going downhill. I won’t be going back after the events this week. I went Monday evening and sat outside, thinking it was odd the beer garden was so empty. Probably because of the massive t.v. they have now installed attracting the yobs a previous reviewer has referenced. Sadly though some of these were staff - I recognised one as one of the ‘chefs’. 8.30 pm after the group had had a few too many shandies they started effing and jeffing at each other. One young lad who moments earlier had been running around upset that his mummy had been trying to call and he had missed them thought he would be intimidating and take off his shirt and invite the ‘chef’ to a fight in the car park. Loads of strutting up and down and a number of ‘you effing c*’s. This went on for about 10 minutes before the landlady came out to ‘deal’ with it. She looked petrified and was unable to control the bunch of idiots. Beer garden emptied of all the decent customers trying to enjoy the evening. Doubt many will be back. She didn’t apologise to any of the remaining customers. I don’t have children and am not a delicate doily but really would not recommend this to anyone thinking this is a family friendly pub. I imagine it would be quite distressing for children to witness. On the other hand rather entertaining to watch a bunch of grown men who couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag trying to be ‘hard’. Wonder if his...

Booked for Christmas day lunch several months ago for 3pm. Arrived to find an overcrowded pub with staff running around looking stressed and unwelcoming. We were ignored so managed to ask someone passing what to do. They hadn't even set the tables yet. The bar had 1 person serving and countless people trying to get served. There was no explanation of being short staffed as we have since discovered was the case. We eventually got a drink and then waited on our table. We checked after half an hour and were told they had tables of 9 and 7 come in. Why that makes a difference to our meals I can't imagine. A couple who seemed to be regulars judging with the way staff were talking to them had all 3 courses while we had nothing. After 1and a half hours with nothing we checked at the bar again. Still no sign of any food. We asked for a refund and was given it without apology. The assistant manager just seemed glad to have 3 meals less to serve. I have never not had a Christmas dinner but thanks to the admiral rodney this was a first. What food we did see come out looked awful. Maybe a...

Lovely traditional pub with a good selection of drinks. Dog friendly. We ordered the Sunday Lunch, which was a generous portion and tasty, although the beef was advertised as rare on the menu but arrived well done. We had booked a table for 12:15pm and arrived around 5 minutes early. We were shown to a table and ordered our food a few minutes later. Our meals did not arrive until around 1:15pm, consequently we had only just finished eating when we were asked by a male member of staff to vacate the table for another party who had booked the same table for 1:45pm. We told him that we were just finishing our drinks, to which he replied that we would have to move immediately as the other party were waiting and there was a sign on the table saying that it was reserved from 1:45pm. He was very abrupt and we all felt that this was quite rude. I would not expect to be asked to leave an establishment immediately after finishing my main course, especially in such an abrupt and...
