Reviews of The Punch Bowl
Just had a great burger, absolutely loved it and looked great. Lovely friendly staff and nice atmosphere!
Went for dinner, was nice, friendly staff. Good pub grub
Really friendly pub , clean and a real effort was made for children having games and craft activities over the bank holiday . Food was tasty too.
Food was lovely here, been coming here for lunch for a few weeks now and haven't had a problem. Enjoyed my food.
Friendly helpful staff. A nice range of food on the menu, however portions were a bit on the small side.
Food was really good but don't like dogs in the pub when you're eating
Food was nice, staff were attentive, was so cute seeing dogs in the pub
Since the place changed owners it has been reinvented and is now a lovely place to go for a drink or a weekend group dinner. Great food and great beer
So glad the bowl is back open best pub in Nottingham and the landlady is alright I suppose 😉
Quick service, great pub food, really helpful staff & a beautiful view over the valley 😊
It is what it is pub food not bad for the money it's just a pity sometimes you are disappointed and the waitress offered me a drink but I was only drinking soda water cheap alternative for food
Sweet was spanking bob on
My son has just moved to this area and this is his local we went to visit on Saturday and what a lovely pub!! Atmosphere great with friendly bar staff can see why its popular among locals and we will definately be back soon - thank you to all the staff
The pub downstairs is nice, comfortable and very homely. The function room upstairs however is ran down and badly in need of a revamp.
Nice family pub, jolly staff.clean kitchen, I ate outside with my kids n dog. Liked it tbf
Tasty pub grub, good service, reasonable value, generous deal of free Prosecco for birthday, but noisy.

Good value food. Nice surroundings and pleasant, friendly staff.
Service extremely slow. There were nine of us and when went to order desserts we were told the kitchen couldn't cope with any more orders. It was only seven o'clock! !
Very comfortable local pub with great selection of beer and excellent good value food 👍
Great service. aFriendly staff .I had the slow cooked belly pork .Was cooked to perfection .Can't wait for my next visit.
Lovely pub, lovely food. Staff could smile more but all in all a good pub experience!
Has just been refurbished and looks really good, the food is great with very friendly staff and a great atmosphere.
The website was easy to use to create the booking. We were greeted and, due to it not being full, we were able to choose our table. Ordering was easy enough. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The menu caters for most tastes and they asked if anyone in the group had any allergies before taking the order. The food was excellent and really good value for money. Very impressed.
Good friendly service. Food lovely
Service great. Had three course Sunday lunch and the main course went cold very quickly.

Good food. Good service.
Nice place, nice pint, been many times. Good food, great choice on the menu, kids menu could do with a pasta option or something. Friendly service. I was given a free half pint cause we had to wait for dessert but I didn't complain or anything they just did it off their own back. It was busy and of course covid slows things down so I didn't mind waiting or paying but thanks.

Lovely warm atmosphere.
Lovley food. Friendly staff
Ok good, not great.
Average!!! Unfortunately gone down hill since my last visit. Not overly busy, but a slow service. Roast dinner was pretty dry and flavourless. But I guess it was pretty cheap so that's what you get. Great choice on the drink front tho. And the staff we met were very lovely.
Mmm m

Nice friendly local
Lovely pub
Nice place. Good atmosphere and polite friendly staff.
Nice pub with a good selection of beers. It is reasonably priced with lots of seating both inside and out. The food menu is traditional pub food and they have set price menu offers on during lunch and dinner which cater for budget options. I had Hunters Chicken which was tasty and filling. Would recommend as a place for meeting people or large groups. Visited recently for a retirement party and was great for catching up.
Ok!
Excellent
Very friendly
Nice pint 🍻
Love this place.
Heaven
Easy going place
Great staff
Luvvly jubbly

Plenty of parking. Food good. You have to order from the bar, but not a problem.
Pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area.
(Translated) Spacious, with several environments

Amplio, con varios ambientes
Exceptional nachos. Decent seating outside. Staff tried best but made some errors - table was wrong and didn't understand their own menu. Fair prices. Kids burgers are pretty basic but their menu is good overall
Food always lovely, staff friendly.
Lovely and varied range of food for a function. A separate largish area to use.
Always highest quality of food. Tasty food, nicely served. My daughter loves that place what is rarely. Service is nice and quick. Family friendly.
They accept dogs what is really important to me and if I am right they have rule that waitress cant pet customer's dog -thats really nice when you have dog in training.
Had a 50% deal went with family food was fab had the steak it was cooked to perfection mrs dident have the deal she had 3 courses for£9 50 well worth the money beer is on the steep price but then again I am used to cheap beer in my local
Pleasant atmosphere, nice pint.
I’m afraid I have to agree with the last person. Four of us went last night, car park was nearly empty which wasn’t a good sign for a Saturday night. We shared a starter which was fine but when we ordered main courses, the waitress had to come back to us three times to say they didn’t have something that was on the menu. Two of us ordered sea bass, there was none, one ordered lasagne, there was none. I ordered Hunters Chicken which looked very unappetising, looked like a slice of plastic cheese on top, a dried up mushroom, dried up chips, the chicken was also very dry. We were disappointed after having many good times there before. We feel very sad as we can see this being another place that’s going under. We hope something can be done to avoid that! The staff were fine if a little embarrassed at having to tell us things weren’t available.
Was there on Saturday it my birthday lovely meal and couldn't do enough for you only thing I download voucher and forgot to use but deffo be back
Lovely lunchtime with family. Even tho they were busy with a large Christmas party table still made us feel welcome and explained there maybe delays in food due to the big table. But still our order didn't take long and was delicious as always 👍
Always very nice meals and pleasant staff
We came last Saturday for food and drinks with family and friends. Had a lovely evening. Tom was a star who was working his shift. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Thanks again and see you Sunday!
Nice atmosphere and great food for a decent price. Really good value with the set menu too with a variety of options
Food ok for the price was not very warm at all
Booked a table for 5. First time back since last summer due to various lockdowns. Fab food, drink and service. Staff were all friendly and helpful and followed the covid guidelines and it was great to be back!! We will be back very soon!
I had the best evening with my team, lovely food, the steak was amazing, the staff was very friendly. I can't wait to go with my family.x
16 of us went for my mums birthday food lovely staff couldn’t do enough for us , food was staggered which is understandable as they only have a small kitchen but 10 out of 10 for being so lovely will definitely be going back thank again 😘🤗
Popped in for a quick pint (first visit) very welcoming staff and a lovely pint of Estrella ok I had two 😉, yet to try the food but judging by what I saw I'll be back definitely.
Service very slow but food good
Comfortable and clean good choice of food. Staff work really well
Food and service was great even during these uncertain times.
The only down side was seated by the only exit door which some customers just kept open when leaving and sadly when having the dessert there was still the packaging wrapped left at the edge of the cake, would normally mention it to a member of staff but seeing as took advantage of the Eat out to Help Out offer, didn't feel like making an issue out of it.
Amazing food lovely staff and manager
Beers and food good could be a little cleaner
Really friendly staff, lovely food for a very decent price and a cozy atmosphere and we really enjoyed celebrating my mums birthday here.
I've recently updated this place to a five star rating. It's a quiet place with staff eager to help. The food is always served as quickly as possible with good presentation. The draft ale was nice. This place has a upmarket atmosphere. Decor and wall hangings are good and fit in nice with the feel of the place.
Lovely pub sit and have a chat enjoy a good meal
Lovely staff freindlie pub open fire and cozzee
I love this place the meals are amazing the atmosphere is warm I love the open fires the team are so friendly and always take time to say hello. Helen the landlady is so nice and welcoming. Haydn is amazing he showed me how to download the app and I get loads of great deals. The regulars are kind and funny I love this pub. Today I had the pork belly and it was to die for!! Didn't think I'd have room for dessert but I managed to squeeze one in which was lovely
This is a pub from my childhood, thought I would not go in again. I recently went in a couple of months ago to meet a friend and was really pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely fantastic. Have been back 3 times with different friends which surprised me but I really like the atmosphere and friendly people and staff. There is plenty of outside seating. Really lovely place to go and excellent food.
It is a lovely place with a nice relaxed atmosphere. We visited on 3rd Feb for lunch, unfortunately our meal took 40 minutes to arrive, which is unacceptable. The portions for the same meal were very different in size, though to be fair what we did get was very nice and hot. This is the second time we have experienced such a long wait for food and we wont be eating here again. Which is a shame as I was thinking of a having a family birthday celebration here. It does seem that there is a very long wait before food is brought out, and then a number of tables are served at the same time. The waitress and the girl behind the bar were friendly, however an additional member of staff wouldn't go amiss as at times there were customers queuing at the bar.
Great staff, great food. Indoor & outdoor seating. Cosy with a very homeley and warm atmosphere inside🤗👍🏾
Food was excellent but the service was sloppy very unhelpful girl who took the order. This was a meal for my cousins wife's birthday. Wish we had went somewhere else for it
Visited to eat and when we entered we were sat next to a large table of people which made us feel a little uncomfortable. When we moved one table down we was told we shouldn't move and given a dirty look. Shame as food was nice.
Food was beautiful, speedy and friendly service from the bar staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our night here, thank you!
The food was really nice had 3 courses for £9 well worth the money lovely food
Vanessa is the new landlady at the Punchbowl she gave me a lovely welcome
I had an 8oz rump steak very tender and cooked to perfection !!
I’m looking forward to going back very soon

Good venue for a 60th party. The bar was fairly cheap and the catered food was OK. The only real annoyance was the stairs leading up to the function room were just horrible. Dirty, ripped and just made the entrance look shabby and old.
Friendly local pub, good prices for food and drink. Able to take your kids with you as well as dogs.
Very quiet. Pleasant atmosphere.
My husband and myself went for a meal today and it was cooked and presented perfectly. I had the special witch was cauliflower cheese tart and it was really tasty, my husband had rack of ribs, lovely he said. We have been before and never have any problems.
Excellent customer service from the very friendly staff
Tuesday lunchtime - 1pm not more than 15 people in pub. Not particularly friendly welcome as we came in and after we had ordered our food it took over half an hour to arrive. No apology was offered and the food was ok but nothing to shout about although had we not waited so long it would have been very good value for money but by the time it came frustration had overtaken any ounce of enjoyment.
extremely happy with my visit today for Sunday dinner, all staff was friendly and polite the food was amazing, will definitely be eating here again
Food okay, service really slow
Was in Nottingham visiting a friend, came here for breakfast ! Full English was really tasty and hit the spot just right. Service was quick and the staff were polite. It's got a very colorful and character decor. Would definitely go again
I visit the Punchbowl at least once a week to eat, often more, and the service is exceptional. The food is consistently very good and great value - topping all the competition in a similar price range. The experience is rounded off with a cosy, warm atmosphere.
It's also a great drinking pub, and as it's been my local since 2004, my recommendation has been well earned from many visits over the years.
Food is good and the place has a nice atmosphere. However there seems to be less vegetarian options than there used to be and the menu isn't as good as it was a while ago. Nevertheless there is a good option of different drinks and lots of places to sit inside and out. Food stops serving at 9:45pm.
good decent size pub with outdoor seating. always enjoy the food there
I came here with my wife and children Christmas Day. It was quite expensive but it was Christmas Day after all. And in comparison with some other places it actually turned out to be decently priced. We all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and I would definitely recommend this place to anybody. The staff are wonderful and the food is quality.
Used to be regulars here but got tired of being told we couldn't have this or that because they were out of stock.
Also always got rationed on the deserts because they didn't have enough available.
Shame really did you used to enjoy going 😕
Very nice food and caring barstaff and chefs. Thanks guys for tonight's excellent service. Especially Holly,senior barstaff. Nothing too much trouble. Will go again .
Steak was lovely, love this pub
Very friendly and welcoming bar. Ideal for a quiet drink with friends or a day out with the family. Particularly enjoy having a pint out on the terrace and enjoying the view across the city. The staff always go above and beyond. Highly recommended.
Quiet, charming, helpful staff, very decent surroundings. It's been on my metaphorical doorstep for several years and I now can't think why we've never been before... But we're definitely coming back! We shall then try the food, which certainly looks excellent and very reasonably-priced.
The staff we're great and the food was not too bad.
Thanks.
8/10
Friendly and helpful staff
Average food
Quick service
Good prices
Smart surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere make this pub a,pleasant place to visit. Food is standard pub fare, a reasonable selection and fairly priced. Just a note of warning about food serving times; although advertised as serving food till 10pm they can stop serving as early as 7.30pm.
After asking for an area for a reunion we were made very welcome. The Staff were pleasant and the food was well presented. Will definitely be having more reunions here.
Thank you Emme, on behalf of us all.
Gillian
i really enjoyed it it was great lovely place . the only thing that is missing is the fosters. most of my friends and family drink fosters. otherwise it was great we would come all the time except for that. thank you so much.
Lovely atmosphere and great service. Took my residents there for a drink without feeling "stared at" or out of place.
Didnt order food but what came out on next table looked devine and i heard them commenting it was great.
Fantastic safe environment re Covid. Very friendly and courteous staff. Lovely food on the menu! Go try it!
Very friendly and welcoming
Very friendly staff very helpful been a long time since I was last in there only went to read there meter but looking forward to them opening again to pop in for a drink
The Punchbowl is one of those pubs that's nice to visit on the way home from work, to relax, socialise and enjoy food from their varied menu. The Punchbowl is nicely furnished, cosy & welcoming, the staff friendly & attentive a nice pub, give it a try 👍.
Great local pub,serves food. There is also a function room which is a good size. Great for all kinds of celebrations..
Opposite my house so I am a lot, ate dinner there Tuesday evening but no point in commenting as the new menu came in the next day.did see an old mate in there last night who just had veggie toad in the hole and said it was nice.
Our first time here and everything was amazing. The food is great and the service is excellent. We would 100% recommend this Embers Inn to everyone.
Large and pleasant pub, the staff are the biggest asset and the bar staff in particular were a gregarious lot who seemed to thoroughly enjoy being there. Great views over the city.
Good, affordable food. Good amount of outdoor seating. Enjoyed!
Only stopped for a pint with the dog but service was fine.
Part of the Mitchell and Butler chain punch bowl is a nice venue for few hours of relax, food service is a bit of a hit and miss when place quiet good quality while if gets busy struggles to cope and maintain quality standards
We only had limited time, the food came out very fast, there was about 20 of us, no one was missed and all enjoyed the food.
Excellent staff great communication made you feel very
Great food and friendly service. They do good offers for a cheap meal when you can't be bothered to cook
Nice and cosy after the recent refurbishment, and has always had friendly staff. Offers a decent selection of ales and pub food at reasonable prices.
Great Ember Inn pub, great menu, really friendly staff, clean and tidy.
Visited recently for lunch, had the buttermilk chicken burger, was fantastic!
The bar staff and waiting staff are really friendly and happy to help.
Great drinks selection and good value prices.
Will be going back for the quiz soon.
Highly recommended.
