The Rancliffe Arms - Rushcliffe

The Rancliffe Arms is simply the best pub for miles and miles. The food is delicious and beautiful. The menu more than enough variety to choose from. My dad is a carnivore and I’m vegetarian and the staff and chef couldn’t have been more helpful ax we ordered. The wine is lovely too and dad enjoyed the beer/shandy. I don’t bother writing reviews but this pub is so gorgeous I had to write and no!, I’m not related to anyone to do with pub. It’s just lovely.

I had an excellent dinner at this restaurant last night. The service was good, the food was delicious and served hot, and the portions were large. I will definitely be coming back.

Probably the best UK carvery/buffet meal I think I have ever had. A Wednesday night with two friends from school days and our wives. (One lives locally). At last, somewhere where the dinner plates are hot and the carvery meats were generous and beautifully cooked. The vegetables and side dish variety was fantastic not the usual boring 'peas and carrots '. Cauliflower cheese, roast parsnips, green beans with peas, brussel sprouts, carrots, fried onions with cocktail sausages, broccoli, cabbage, Yorkshire pud, roast potatoes, a good gravy. Lovely staff and definitely a place I 'd love to return to when back in the UK.

Great lunch menu, Wraps are brilliant well stuffed with filling and very fresh. Chips could be cooked a tad longer but that's personal preference.

Awful experience for Father’s Day this year. We were situated at the table right in front of the carvery, which when we arrived and sat down seemed fine as the place wasn’t too busy. We were the first in the queue to get our carvery. I was holding my son’s plate and my own and burnt my finger on the hot plate whilst setting the plates down which was a poor start. As we sat down to eat we realised how hot the restaurant was and moved a plug in air fan which were placed sporadically throughout the restaurant so we could feel the breeze. As we continued the place quickly filled up and the queue for the carvery snaked around our table the whole time we were eating. We were stared at by the inquisitive queue for the whole while we were eating. In addition, the man carving the food fancied himself as a bit of a comedian, shouting down to people he knew in the queue throughout and it was SO loud, we couldn’t hear ourselves think or make conversation between ourselves. It was ridiculously hot and our only sauce of air was being blocked by the ever-growing carvery queue. For balance, the food itself was good and I had only booked the table two days prior but was assured a table for 4 was no problem. After eating our carvery, I ushered a staff member over (believe he was the manager) I explained that whilst we had enjoyed the food it was a completely unpleasant experience. He claimed to understand and apologised that we had been given the last table as they were at full capacity. I told him I’d have rather him turned down our booking than cram us in like pilchards. We are talking £27.50 a head, £15.50 for our little one. We got our deserts to go and left, £115 lighter after a terrible 50 minutes of what was supposed to be a lovely treat for my husband and father in law. I was disgusted that not even a single drink had been removed from the bill. I understand that you may want to get as many covers as possible, but this should not be to the detriment of the dining experience. Very poor, greedy management.
