Very disappointing - I had heard that Shipstones had made a resurrection in Nottingham and remembering what it tasted like in the late 70"s I was determined to try it out - I travelled an hour with great entrepidation and on arrival hastily ordered a pint of Shippo's original. What a disappointment - instead of the wonderful pint I was expecting I was presented with a flat, lackluster hazy pint of what can only be described as a poor substitute for a pint of beer. I'd be embarrassed to serve it. I asked a chap sat at the bar what he was drinking as it looked beautifully clear, he said Caffreys mate because it the only consistent beer in here - if that's what the locals are saying, it doesn't bode well it does it? If you are going to resurrect something, then do it properly for goodness sake - old man Shipstone must be turning in his grave. If you want a decent pint of Shippo's, Colin Brown's Star bitter at the Belvoir brewery is as good a copy as you're likely to find anywhere. On a positive note the Thai food was amazing - the evening wasn't a total...
Read moreWe travelled up on the train from Luton for the game last week with plenty of time to spare so asked a few locals for a good burger spot, was pointed in the direction of the fox and crown with rumours of a wagyu burger, which for us folk in humble Luton is unheard of. We hopped on the tram and it did not dissapoint! A short walk from the tram stop to divulge in a burger juicier than Adebayos 92nd minute equaliser. Really wish we had quality like this local to us down south! The chef at the fox and crown is my second favourite person in Nottingham behind joe worrall for gifting us a point! Keep up the great work and if we’re back in the premier league next season you will see us again! As an added bonus they had Blue Moon which is my favourite drop! Perfect start to a great day...
Read moreWas passing though and stopped here to eat. It's in a relatively rough looking area but don't let that turn you away.
The staff is friendly and this little cozy pub is one of the few places that serve a mix of exotic burgers either as a takeaway or to eat in.
I'm not a fan of wooden cutlery but I understand the desire for easy cleaning and eco friendly impact.
I was in just before the kitchen closed and they still served us so it's nice to see they care that we eat.
Bar has a good mix of drinks on tap and I would recommend trying some.
Only downside is that it's slightly expensive but that unfortunately is quite typical of pubs these days.
If you're after trying a kangaroo burger or a wild boar burger then this is a good place to go for a quick meal and a...
