Reviews of The Vale
Just visited the Vale again nearly 2 years since the last time. Pleasantly pleased to see the pub still operating as usual. Staff and customers still Covid aware. Felt relatively safe. Good range of beers well maintained (camra card accepted). Nicely cooked meals available plus the popular carvery still running. Will definitely return.
I went there for an event in the room to hire and it was fantastic. The DJ was really good and friendly, food was amazing and the bar service was good as well. Really good experience. Everyone enjoyed the party and had a good time.
An overall very pleasant place, where a wide range of drinks can be served, with very professional staff. A place of prestige outside of the busy area of the city. A definitely nice range of foods served during the day and an overall worthy local experience.
The cultural heritage of the place is unique in its own way and keeps the tone of its old(but actual) self.
A definitely go to in the future.
Poped in here on our way to an explore,had a latte was really nice and fare price,staff was warm welcome and friendly,toilets were nice and clean,carvery looked amazing from what i could see but we did not eat here
Had an early evening meal for 4, plenty of room for us. Didn't have to book and were ok with us having our dog with us, a border collie which got on well with their collie. Very friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit and not too expensive. Even had a quiz night whilst we were there.
Lovely carvery sunday understand they do it through the week as well
The carvery was very nice I was absolutely stuffed after and could hardly walk. It was very busy in there and frustrating getting a table as we couldn't work out if we find our own or wait to be seated and the staff wasn't that helpful. The dinner made up for it though lovely beef, a wide choice of veg and lovely thick gravey. I will definitely go again and hopefully find a table quicker
Had the carvery which was pretty decent tbh. Was great either my allergy too.
Nice pub, friendly staff and was clean I enjoyed my trip today had a lovely hour there.
Lots small rooms ,as good beers and friendly staff, nice place but needs updating .👍
Went for the carvery & was lovely
Always good for a roast dinner and excellent price too.
Loved the carvery had to go home and have a nap because my belly was full.
Probably the best carvery in Nottingham.
Always consistently the best everytime. Great helpful staff especially the lady on the carvery, nothing too much trouble for her.
Well done all & thank you.
One of the better Greene King houses good range of beers with good service !
Very nice pub quality pint of Stella
Absolutely delicious Jamaican food..will deffo be back
Don't go on a Sunday night its quiz night and you have got to be quiet or get moaned at
Great value carvery, thank you.
Lovely family run pub, have been going to the pub quiz on a Sunday night for many a year now and have had more than one lovely carvery lunch there too 🥰
In my mind a must visit pub. Great atmosphere. No yob culture. Great carvery served daily. Reasonable priced drinks. Really nice staff. Today we went to see the play off final. Bank holiday Monday. They had a Spanish theme and we had 4 tapas for £10. Delicious! Very authentic. Would highly recommend this place. We go Thursday evening for sticky 13s too. Great fun. Give it a go!

Liked it there nice meal as always
Nice staff as always old pub but clean it has been there years we go to the pub every four weeks or so
Wonderful pub for all occasions, plenty of memories with family here and will even let out a function room for stuff like wakes and birthdays.
Lovely staff
Friendly staff and nice and clean. Chip buttys were okay too. And I was allowed to take the dog in one part of the pub too.
Lovely pub shame no food was on offer due to chef taking ill. Pint of Fosters just the job.
Food edible, had to take my carvery back as my carrots were cold, person serving meat when realising I was bringing back my meal because of vegetables been cold, attitude changed, when carving the meat, children's plate had as much meat as some adults, also 1 child's piece of meat was of the end and was hard. I must say the Manager was apologetic, and his and bar staffs attitude couldn't be faulted, so Thank you to him. One other thing it was a carvery, so why someone was stood there serving out potatoes and parsnips, I do not know, parsnips very thin, thinner than chips just longer and you got two. Same with potatoes you got two same as children's plate. Sorry to be mostly negative don't like to be like that, but needed to be said
Friendly staff, decent beers.
Nice big traditional pub, I found it a bit loud though, everyone was shouting over everyone else to be heard, but the staff seem friendly enough and the service is good, and it was fairly early on a Friday evening. It was nice to see bar staff actually watching for who was waiting, and not just serving people who had just walked up to the bar.
I'll be back...
The meal was cooked to perfection the meats were so nice. Why I've not given 5 stars because there was only a choice of 2 meats beef and gammon. I would have liked to have seen a Turkey crown or a chicken breast I know it was a Thursday but I will try again on a Sunday. The Vale it self to me hasn't changed in 50yrs but still pleasent.
Only stopped for a couple of drinks but service was with a smile and staff very friendly sat outside on the front seating area was very pleasant and the Shandy's went down a treat.
All of my family had a carvery at this pub. The meat was lovely, veg only just warm, Yorkshire pudding cold. The gentleman serving us this evening 20.2.20 was incredibly rude. No greeting or acknowledgement that we was standing in front of him, just banged the plate onto a board and waited for me to speak. No thank you, what would you like? He just handed the plate and stood nx to the meat ! We went up in stages as we had small children and everyone without exception commented on how rude he was. I don't think he likes his job very much and definitely shouldn’t be front of house dealing with customers!
Had a Sunday dinner, the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and welcoming
Best Carvery in Nottingham just a shame it’s not open at night too but still other meals available. They even carried my plate for me x
Always enjoy our visits, good atmosphere for conversation. Beautiful building. Fun fact: the doors were all put on upside down. Good for families. Good to sit out when sunny with great views of Mansfield road!!
The wake after my uncle’s funeral was held at The Vale today and to say this was a pub I’d never been in throughout my years living in Nottingham I was impressed with the quality of service from the staff. They even went to the trouble of making up some additional fresh food on the spot for those with dietary requirements. Add to that the real ales were in good condition too. Overall a nice place for a pint and a bite to eat.
Lovely carvery today
A good quality carvery dinner with a fairly quiet atmosphere. The service staff were friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Highly recommended for visit for well priced and prepared lunch.
Crackin Sunday Carvery.. Will certainly revisit..
Popped in for lunch and had a delicious carvery (but with chips!!). Good service and the beer was refreshing
Really nice. Comfortable. Great feel. As a dark ale drinker I'm left with few options but that's not abnormal. I like it. Nice inside and outside.
Had a private party here, it was great. They don't play music here but in the function room I hired out, they kindly let me use a Bluetooth speaker which looks small but definitely fills the room with music! Will definitely book here again if the occasion arises.
Ridiculous I have not put a proper review here, I have been coming to this pub since 1977, OK some gaps in there, but generally a long upwards trend. Nowhere avoids the odd problem but on the whole a really good local, good beer friendly staff. Very popular for food. Currently Caribbean although seems off topic to me, I came to Nottingham to get away from home cooking although nostalgia beckons.
Great carvery. Plenty of tables and space to sit. Smart, refurbished since my last visit. Good value and friendly staff. Children were made to feel welcome. X X
Place to drink, socialise, watch football. Remain to be convinced about the carvery, suggest Sunday only to keep fresh and have someone carving in front of customers. As a family, we don't eat there currently, but would like to as is one of our locals.
Good meeting venue good food /seperate sports bar.
Would have given five stars but whilst parked outside bay window waiting for colleagues to arrive Man swung into car park in green jaguar one hand on wheel other holding Apple left car beside mine and threw open car door straight onto my driving door when I opened my door and said you have just bashed my door this middle aged white male said with a foreign accent SO and walked into The Vale.
☹️👊👎👎😠
Busy pub, with food. Pleasant staff, down market clientele. Carvery meats looked dry and over done but were actually very nice (beef). Veg was over cooked, yorkshire small but nice, gravy good. Spuds and parsnips were really bland and unpleasant, overall everything was under seasoned. Mael was inexpensive, but still over priced for quality, drinks are bar prices with no refills on soft drinks. Will be going to Toby at Colwick for carvery instead from now on, better food, nicer interior and bottomless pop for the kids.
Excellent carvery, good beer and friendly staff...
It is what it is,cheap & cheerful.Enjoyed the carvery.Went earlier, meal was hotter than before
Great meals, nice friendly staff, food always hot, they also make a brilliant lazzanya yummy, it's served hot and still hot when you finish it, well worth going for a meal. Open seven days a week, carvery 7days a week.
Very good after our experience at trying to get a drink at the sherwood download this app and do this and do that we gave up we went to the Vale had a member of staff take our order no hassle
Best carvery around here and friendly staff
Reasonably priced and the best quality carvery we have found. We are regulars. Five stars but the food can't be bettered at any price for a carvery in this area.
Excellent 3 course Christmas meal I have ever had. Plenty to eat, all fresh vegetables.i would highly recommend the Vale Hotel, Daybrook Nottingham
Loved the carvery and good prices staff very friendly
Sunday carvery enough veg to shake a stick at all fresh, well cooked meats, a bit Ryan Air the tables and seating it's a popular place for one reason so it's everyman for himself the biggest man finds a seat.
Lovely carvery food was amazing great bar and staff
Awesome carvery and friendly staff and patrons on a Sunday afternoon. Never been in the week so can't say what its like then. Plenty of parking available and also on a major bus route.
Had beautifully cooked carvery today. Sumptuous meats with perfect veggies. Simple fayre but not soggy or al dente. Meaty gravy a treat. Lovely lady who served. Not busy in day☺. Really gorgeous roasties too. I will be a regular here being a carvery junkie and why not?!😅 healthy meals full of goodness. Couldn't even contemplate trying a sweet.
Great food, carvery is fantastic value for money. Clean and comfortable pub. Great staff, all round good place to go.
Lovely carvery, surprised it wasn't very busy - would recommend it to anyone
An historic building and an interior to match ..great gast ales!
Been here twice now with my daughter and grandson on a Sunday for the Carvery and it's fantastic good choice of food, both times it was packed so best to book a table, the staff are great, will be returning on regular basis 😊
Historic listed art deco style pub with original features. Decent carvery and they've always got at least there real ales on.
Nice little local and dog friendly, apparently they have a carvery too, tho not had the chance to taste it will do next time :)
Old school pub with cosy interior. Staff were really friendly and helpful! Great selection of food and drink all very reasonably priced. Loads of parking available too so great for grabbing a bite after work.
The vale is one of those places where you can chill have a few drinks eat and have a good time . Its warm welcoming environment the staff is very nice and friendly the food is great . Not to mention on a sunday that's where majority of people go for a nice sunday roast .
Nice pub
Really good tasty and fresh carvery.its a pleasure to eat there. No old veg ,it's all put out fresh thank you .
Great Art Deco features. Good beer and an excellent carvery
Went there for Sunday dinner and trust me it's better than toby carvery, recommend it. Staff are lovely, make you feel welcome.
Beautiful interior, tastefully preserved Beer was good too :)
Went for a meal here. Very nice food. Clean and friendly atmosphere. Beers not bad either
Sunday dinner v good.....all fresh veg...we went late on as well...
Very polite and helpful staff. Good food, but limited menu due to covid
The staff were extremely nice, but unfortunately the carvery we felt did not give value for money.
1st Class food, service and staff, all at a really great price 10/10. Been eating here for a few years now, and I have to say that I have never had a reason to complain about anything!
Very good pub. Enjoyed the beer . Staff all good.and friendly. Another of my favourite locals
Would recommend.
Best carvery in town...... bar none!
Great service, great staff, wonderful food, so good we come every Sunday, drinks well nice, great pub to drink in. Well done to all barstaff, and all the kitchens taffeta, keep it every one.
Really nice pub. Pleasant surroundings. 60th Wedding anniversary event. Really nice food and well looked after by Rob the Manager. Would recommend.
Busy pub in the evening & the carvery pulls in the customers, a decent carvery could be a better selection of veg. There is a non carvery menu of average choice, carvery is main choice.
Amazing Carvery love this place and the staff are lovely thanks.
Nice food and a nice easy place to get to.
Seemed nice enough although I only popped in for a coffee shop my experience was limited.
Fantastic place to eat Will be going back very soon 👍👍
Brilliant carvery, great food, great value for money. The place is always packed on a Sunday, so it's best to book a table
The food in this pub is very good especially the carvery, but the decor does leave a lot to be desired...
Nice Pub, good Carvery, Friendly staff, lots of space. Well worth a visit.
Lovely atmosphere and good is basic but the Sunday carvery is amazing. Very good value.
Nice outdoor space for the summer.
Good selection of real ales friendly helpful staff, apparently the food is very good also
All right till the trolls came in giving dirty looks as we were at the table they think they own, sorry to say I stayed a little later, to piss them off. Look like enjoying wasps.🦖
Our first time visit lovely food ,portions size big, plenty of of options especially for myself being vege we will return .Value for money .Staff welcoming very friendly .Tracy .
Clean, friendly & good value
Nice pub..bit noisy on main road. Friendly staff.
My local pub has a nice outdoor area popular with dog owners and has live bands local to the area. Also shows sport live on tv so gets busy
Great pub .excellent food good choice ales . Nice atmosphere. Comfy.
Excellent service, always greeted with an open manner with a view to fully understand the issues of the system and the uses of it { or them }.
Will recommend to anyone who tells of need for repair, replacement, upgrade or in fact anything related to computers and similar technologies.
Sunday carvery feels like a homecooked roast, good variety, friendly, beautiful art deco building. Can be a wait on sundays
Great carvery. I think there should be a smaller portion menu for people who prefer it.
England footy outside with the big screen..... Table service and loads of outdoor seating 👍👍👍
Very good atmosphere. Welcoming for dogs. Friendly bar staff and customers
Best food with the lowest prices in notts. U can't go wrong. Try thier steaks mouth watering. I go here once a week. Tuesdays steak day.

(Translated) There are opinions that it is a very important miensce, a very interesting pub and so on.
Inside, nothing impresses. Food ... no revelations. Maybe it has a story but probably more among the local population.

Krążą opinie , że to bardzo ważne miensce, bardzo ciekawy pub i tak dalej.
Wewnątrz niczym nie zachwyca. Jedzenie... bez rewelacji. Moze ma jakąś historię ale chyba bardziej wśród miejscowej ludności.
