We recently celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary at the White Horse in Ruddington, and we had a great time. They have a permanently sited marquee with sturdy walls, built-in floor, high vaulted ceiling and good lighting. They filled it with furniture for us, so that we could seat all our guests, and provided table service to take drinks orders and to fetch them for us. We employed a friend to provide disco/karaoke; the management let us know that we couldn’t be too loud, and that music must finish at 10pm, and that they would vacate the restaurant at 10pm so that we could migrate indoors at that time and continue there until the pub closed. They had good choices of hot and cold buffet and we ordered a mixture plus some gluten free dishes for our guests. The staff were all very friendly and efficient.

"New farm shop opens at Nottinghamshire pub that's hoping to beef up custom."
Can sit in or take out. We did the latter. two x decaf tea's and two cakes £11. Very reasonable.
We wouldn't usually go in a pub during the day however they have created a welcoming reason to go in. Artisan farm shops are lovely, so can be the prices! However we did pickup some locally made Gin while we were there!

It was really nice. We'd go again and feel comfortable sitting in with our...

We had a big family party planned for months for this weekend and had arranged for the pub to do the catering for us. Due to the awful weather, Andy and Georgia offered us the marquee at the back of the pub at the last minute and got it all set up for us ready. They were so welcoming, giving us time to decorate and set everything up for the family. They had a lovely waitress, Eleanor, look after us all day, who couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. On top of that, the food was absolutely top notch and served so beautifully. We all had the most wonderful afternoon, sheltering from the storm outside whilst celebrating together as a family in such a lovely space. Thanks so much to you all for a...
