Reviews of Via Fossa
J. C.
Despite quite a long wait for food (for which we were given complimentary drinks) the food was absolutely lovely. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Overall definitely worth a visit for a laid back lunch with a canal view! Especially when the sun is shining!
N. S.
This bar has survived the test of time where as others haven't. It has a lovely outdoor area by the canal and is very popular in good weather. Good range of beers on tap, easy to use app and good range of food on the menu. Decent toliets. Close to train, tram and bus station for easy access.
M. B.
I came to the Via Fossa to have a soft drink. I met Charley who is very experienced service engagement with myself providing me with an incredible wonderful amazing service. Charley is a perfect example of a assistant manager and I thank her for her professionalism and the wonderful experience I was given. All the very best Charley 100% perfect.

Went to a birthday party. We don't go into Nottingham much at night but were pleasantly surprised, staff were very helpful, took us through to the stairs so we could find the room easily lovely room + the bar staff went out of their way to find a drink for sulphite intolerant hubby. Thanks. Drinks were reasonably priced too . Would recommend to anyone having a party.

Visited here two weeks in a row. I live a 300 mile round trip away and one of the contributing factors on coming back for the 2nd weekend in a row was Via Fossa. A lovely pub with great, friendly staff and a fantastic beer garden beside the canal. Great food also, faultless!
R. M.
Had my 50th party absolutely fabulous food excellent atmosphere fabulous staff and management know how to look after you
D. P.
Nice location near the Canal but I can't stand beer in plastic glasses. Nicer pubs in Nottingham I think, but glad I visited. Bouncers on the door on game days.
M. W.
Went for a wedding. Is a really nice venue and the staff are polite. Was a bit hard to hear the speeches and ceremony with the noise from downstairs, but apart from that it was really nice.
a. b.
Great place but out the back on the canal your now penned in like sheep, you can't walk from the back of via fossa to ya mate who you see outside the rear of the pub next door cause he's in a different sheep pen, sillyness at its best
Other than that
Great food and drink
Great service
W. K.
Lovely food n drink next 2 canal

We had a joint 21st/50th Birthay party at the weekend in the balcony room, we had an amazing time, All the staff were amazing and couldnt do enough for us, would recommend for a perfect party venue 🌞
I. E.
It’s a good atmosphere and when the suns out it’s lovely to sit out and watch the justice centre where people do their best to see their children.
Food wise it’s good and drinks wise there’s a big range.
A lot of options for seating and it has a cool vibe
Worth popping into
M. L.
Friendly staff. Cheap prices. Great variety in the food. Great location by the canal. Lovely views. Lot of outdoor seating. Delicious food. Would recommend.
T. B.
Lovely pub and staff got the canal outside and train station 250 metres up the road oh and there crazzilly doing 241 on pints of Peroni monday to Friday 4-7pm at the minute
T. E.
Hired this venue out with a friend last Saturday for a joint bday party and don’t have any complaints at all. Venue was amazing had the whole upstairs just for our party, staff were lovely, can bring your own dj and food was great would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to have a similar party!! Definitely will be hiring this out again in the near future! Thanks Via Fossa!!
D. G.
We had a great time when we visited Via Fossa. We had a lunchtime visit on a Saturday. We arrived early and it was fairly empty but don't filled up. There was a good atmosphere about the place, relaxed and friendly. Good was also very nice and very reasonable prices. We would certainly good back again next time we are in Nottingham.
J. A.
Hired balcony bar room for a private party. Great venue and staff really helpful throughout booking process and the event. Would recommend.
L. M.
Visited yesterday, the lady on the bar was very welcoming. we ordered food and sat outside, my rare steak was beautiful and was cooked perfectly (I'm not used to that in other places), two thumbs up to Chef! X
I. B.
Went for a retirement party for a colleague. The pub is slightly old fashioned and the gents toilet was below par but the food was excellent and the staff polite and attentive.
R. C.
Great outside bar, busy but with a good atmosphere
J. C.
Well placed for the waterfront. A good offer BOGOF on selected lager on Monday evening when I visited.
D. B.
Great location to sit and have a beer or two by the canal. Great range of ales and lagers
D. G.
Enjoyed the experience a good day out, meal was good. But I'll be glad when we stop ordering from an app.
R. D.
Great venue for our Christmas Party. Excellent staff, from communication during organising to staff on the night. The food was lovely as well. Great room and we all had a fantastic night.
P. W.
Had a fantastic evening at Via Fossa. Such a great atmosphere, all the staff were super friendly and the Manager went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Added bonus was the food, great portion size, all freshly cooked and absolutely delicious!
J. S.
Great spot in town to grab a drink, right beside the canal. Can get busy when the weather is good, leading to queues at the bar, but as long as you aren't in a rush all is okay. Friendly staff. Food is standard Greene King fare, nothing special but perfectly adequate.
F. F.
Excellent environment, loved eating by the river, felt like i was on holiday. The manager and staff provided a brilliant friendly service, with great menu choices and really decent food cooked to perfection and at a good prices. Definitely hope to find the time to go back. Thank you all
Z. B.
Great menu perfect for sharers. The vegetarian sharing platter was beautiful. Pub looked cosy and Christmassy with some great beers on offer to. Service with a smilr
B. P.
At a birthday party. Staff really friendly and working hard. Also. Blue light discount on drinks 😅😅
D. S.
Absolute legend! Great service great service . Thanks for the eye wash Zoe
D. T.
Great food and nice staff but TVs kept going down during England rugby match which was very frustrating
S. F.
Not great.......bouncers scrapping with each other, beer tastes wrong, can't put my finger on why.
S. B.
Nice place on the canalside. Decent ouside seating area. Last few times I have been, the beer has been way below par.
E. E.
Lovely pub, in a cracking position next to the canal.
Very nice food on the menu.
Serves good Guinness too.
Friendly, helpful staff.
E. B.
Lovely meal and very helpful with using the app
J. D.
Lovely service by shanise, tash and Luke! Thank you for great night!
B. A.
Called in with colleagues on a Monday lunchtime, good service and the toasties were the best I had tasted. (Great price on a meal deal also) Felt safe in secure and clean location, would deffo recommend
p. g.
The staff are brilliant and it's lovely sat outside in the sun, drinks are a reasonable price. however the toilets are in dire need of updating and/or just fixing!
D. L.
Awesome place to go for a drink or something to eat by the side of the canal. Great place.
D. G.
Attracts a boisterous crowd - fine for a night out, and very nice to sit outside when the weather's nice. Can get a bit rowdy, and I wouldn't want to get food here to sit inside. The food is really good (and service from bar staff is great) but the few times I've been here it's been hectic inside. Last time I was there and had a bite to eat the bar area had a bunch of football supporters in, and we struggled to hear each other talk over the racket. If it had been warm enough to eat outside, it would have been a total win.
A. P.
Really friendly staff .... Great atmosphere and so far not too crowded ... Good menu and reasonable prices .... right on the canal and near to the train station .... Great gateway to Nottingham ..... or last stop before leaving
R. S.
Nice place and cheap drinks with CAMRA real ale 50p off a pint vouchers. Would have given 5 stars but the ale was end of barrel / vinegar taste.
O. M.
The staff were friendly, service was quick and the food was great. Seating by the canal all the more improved the experience. Would love to go again

Katsu chicken burger was so tasty with just the right amount of kick to it. Will be visiting again soon

Nice sitting by the canal in the sun watching the boats go past. Friendly staff and good service. Loads better than other green Kings I've been to 👍

C. R.
Missed my connecting train so had time to kill. Went for a beer and burger. Beer was very good. Burger was OK.
M. S.
Not the best time I've been there done away with John Smith's no one in
K. W.
Great service, friendly, welcoming, loved sitting near canal woulda been better if was some music outside the food was nice and hot and tasted great, great service and quick defo go again just great atmosphere
D. A.
Good bar with plenty of screens for sports. Decent outdoor space by the canal and pub grub which was perfectly acceptable.
R. H.
I stopped here with my family for lunch on Sunday. The waterfront setting is scenic and not too loud. A good place to stop if you've been walking by the canal.
The food is mostly baguettes, burgers or suchlike. I had the all day breakfast which was a good size and tasty. There's a kid's selection and a light bites menu too.
g.
Always pop in when visiting Nottingham, as usual the food was spot on during Wednesday's visit, good beer, friendly and polite staff, nice surroundings, what's not to love.
M. I.
Friendly service, amazing food, good toilet facilities, very authentic feel.
P. F.
Lovely simple pub food with a good selection of beers on tap. One star off because I think the place is in need of a makeover as it's been the same for years. Apart from that the staff were friendly and attentive.
L.
Lovely setting for summer, being right next to the canal, and winter, with a large, decorative interior. Staff are always friendly and helpful and the beer is reasonably priced. Great pub food served daily. Numerous function rooms of varying size which can cater to virtually any party.
T. K.
Nice atmosphere music on in background but not too loud. Had lunchtime deal £5.49 sandwich side and a drink . Very good value and arrived promptly. Will definitely return as good choice on menu and some good deals to include a drink making it inexpensive...
A. S.
Lovely meal staff really pleasant and very helpful and polite will go again really pleasant sitting outside side of waterside.
F. H.
Katsu chicken burger was so tasty with just the right amount of kick to it. Will be visiting again soon
D.
Lovely, great atmosphere. Beautiful by the canal. Great out door seating.
A. M.
Great location to sit by the canal, have a meal or a pint with some friends. The insects can be a bother though, comes with the setting.
C. R.
Missed my connecting train so had time to kill. Went for a beer and burger. Beer was very good. Burger was OK.
J. B.
Maybe it was what I ordered but I didn't enjoy my drink. Staff were great though my husband left his phone and the bar lady came running after him. Very grateful and will return and choose a different drink!
L. F.
Visited on a cold and grey day so the outside area (which I am sure makes the pub) was a no go. Staff friendly, good selection of drinks but rather dark and manky inside. The toilets were a disgrace and we visited during the day..... hate to think what they would be like 10.00 pm on a Saturday night.
P. P.
All ok. Few beers were off the day I visited but hey ho! Nice sunny terrace overlooking canal.
M. R.
Visited for a party in the front bar. Good Guinness. Would have been nice to go outside to sit but cold and wet. Could do with a good clean and tidy up in the passage to the front room but on the whole ok. Beer prices average for town. Toilets ok. Flat access inside on first floor but a few small steps to get in
j. t.
Went for a private do on a Saturday night. Besides the people that were invited to the private room upstairs, downstairs was dead, certainly wouldn't go there at night, during the day, in summer, it might be a lot better. Drinks are expensive too.
J. A.
Went on B/Hol wk/end, not great. Small bar, not enough bar staff, nine deep to get served and took about 15 mins. However, in the week on a warm day it's a nice venue. Overpriced, but as are most other city centre pubs.
p. c.
the dj there friday was unreal..
N. B.
Out of the three canal side restaurants here, Via Fossa is my preferred spot for outdoor seating. The bar staff was friendly and helpful, and out food came quickly. Sadly, some of the items we wanted from the menu were not available, which was a bit of a detraction. The quality of the food was fine, in line with Canalhouse/Waterfront, so for us it came down to atmosphere, and Via Fossa was the most comfortable of out visits to the three.
A. B.
Perfect vibe for any age
J. K.
Beautiful place lovely staff n door staff
M. R.
Nice pub overlooking the canal, at its best in Summer. Recommend the Chicken Tikka. Friendly staff, good choice of beers and wine. Toilets need updating but otherwise it's a good place to enjoy. M
D. H.
Quite pub, but very nice beers, really good and reasonably priced food. Drink prices are a little over other pubs but it's worth it given how comfortable it is. Staff are very nice, smoking area and outdoor tables outside by the Canal.
S. C.
Booked for a company do. Really on the ball friendly staff and doorman, buffet a cut above the usual. However, utterly baffled by the appalling performance of the so called dj. I can only assume he was filling in for a friend. Didn't know how to use equipment, cut tracks short half way through, I could go on. This was Dec 21st BTW. Not cross, but I was not the only one left wondering what on earth he was up to! Would use venue again tho.
E. K.
My sister had her wedding reception here. It's got a balcony were you can have a cigarette and tables and chairs so you can relax in the fresh air. As a bar, a dance floor and loads of room for the children to play too.
D. G.
Food was very good and the beer was keenly priced but can't help but think this place is a missed opportunity. It's location is great but it feels a little run down and unloved. Great potential however
D. E.
Had a few minutes to kill so called in for a pint. Found a comfy chair in a dark corner so that was good enough for me. Used to go here years ago as a student and hasn't changed much. Would call in to kill a few more minutes if I'm ever that way again.
T.
Really friendly bar staff and a lovely beer garden.
s. b.
Good food and premium beers. Friendly staff. The 1 missing star is that the toilets could do with some attention and it's cold at lunch time.
A.
Great atmosphere and selection of drinks. Pretty good food as well
M. T.
Food was good but venue was too hot. Was melting inside
S. M.
Really nice and very relaxing near by the canal, would visit again if in the area.
D. C.
Hi..you shown an interest in me djin for you in Nottingham
S. P.
Nice relaxed environment, good food at good prices. When the suns out its the best place to be! The staff are very friendly so we always enjoy our visits
D. A.
Lovely inside when not insanely busy, food was decent
I'd suggest trying to time it before the rush as it can become packed in there with the after work crowd. Much more people in summer, you would be lucky to get a seat on a sunny day at lunch time or after work
s. w.
great location for a private party and the room sounded good
C. C.
Good tasty food, nice drinks, staff always friendly
M. T.
Not been for while. But just as we remembered. Absolutely full of random people. Staff wonderful as ever. Just what you want when sitting in the sun and drinking lots of wine.
O. S.
Lovely venue, lovely staff. Laina was especially nice, had a brilliant evening.
N. T.
Nice ambiance, nice music. One of the older buildings with lots of levels, nooks and crannies with different atmospheres and music. Lovely balcony overlooking the canal.
S. F.
Scenic, being next to canal and watching occasional swans and barges pass by. Within few minutes from Nottingham train station, Magistrate and Crown courts. Food and drinks are served but not cheap.
C. G.
Lovely place. Staff are welcoming. The food is good and, sitting in the sun, watching life go by in February - wow!
T. R.
