Meadow Covert — Restaurant in Rushcliffe

Cosy corners for winter drinks. Haven't eaten there for a while but plan to. Friendly staff. Good parking. A must if you're in the area. UPDATE: When we lived nearby we were regulars here and it was great, good food, friendly staff & always a lovely atmosphere so we decided to book a table to watch the football. We specified on the booking that we wanted a table near the large television. When we arrived we were put in front of the window, with a view of the (very) small television that is quite high up. One of us had our back to the television. It was also very sunny and the sun was glaring through the window right onto us to the point where we just couldn't stand it but there was no where else to move to as there were 2 people sitting across from us, separately, 1 on a table for 4, the other also on a table for 4. They were quite obviously regulars who then sat so no one could use any of the space that seated 10 as there was a table for 2 in-between them. We drank our drink and left severely disappointed. We won't be returning as it doesn't seem the same as it used to be to us. There should have really been a phone call made to tell us that the large television had been removed and were we OK with viewing on the other smaller television as we'd have made other...

Oh, darling, let me regale you with the tale of the Meadow Covert pub, a veritable oasis in a desert of mediocrity. This quaint establishment has become my monthly pilgrimage, all thanks to their ever-changing, positively divine burgers. Each month, they conjure up a new creation that tastes like heaven itself has descended upon your taste buds. One bite and you’ll feel as though you’ve been whisked away to a paradise where cows are massaged daily, and buns are baked by angels! Now, I must say, the only tragedy of this culinary utopia is that it sometimes feels a tad understaffed. It’s as if the stars have aligned, the gods of gastronomy have blessed us with these glorious burgers, but alas, the service can be as slow as a snail on a lazy Sunday. But darlings, if patience is a virtue, then waiting for these burgers is a sanctifying experience! So, if you find yourself in need of a little bit of bliss, do make your way to Meadow Covert, where burgers are the closest thing to a religious experience, and where, with a dash of patience, you’ll be treated to a feast that’s nothing short...

I visited with my girlfriend at lunchtime and we just wanted a burger each off the lunch menu; so we ordered a couple of pints then sat down to check out the menu (I did ask the bar lady for a menu so she knew we were eating.) It took a couple of minutes to decide on the cheeseburger & chips off the lunch menu. However ..they do a meal deal where you can get burger + chips + a pint, £7.99. (£7.49 if it’s a soft drink.) But, as we’d already bought our 2 beers, the price was bizarrely still £7.99. We therefore paid in total for drinks + food, £25.88, instead of £15.98 if we’d been told about the deal when we got drinks, or if they’d knocked the £9.90 drinks off our food bill. (I could actually have ordered burgers, chips & soft drinks, and saved £1 on the deal, then just poured the drinks away.) The burgers were very good but being robbed of £9.90 means I get to knock off 2 stars as I wasn’t happy. They need to re-think this deal as a lot of diners will order a drink before looking...
