Where to eat: the 11 best restaurants in Ruddington

We had a lovely dinner at The Ruddington Arms with some friends and really enjoyed ourselves, the food, and drinks. I’m not usually one to enjoy eggplant but I thought their vegan eggplant dish was quite tasty. I usually order no eggplant but it was the only vegan dish on the menu so I had to take a chance on it and I’m glad I did. They had plenty of ciders and beers to choose from to drink in addition to some cocktails. We would definitely come back if we were back in the area.

It's the old Horspools bakery. The staff were very helpful and the quality of the food was very good. Our pananies were piping hot with a small salad, and small coleslaw. It would have been nice if there was a little more salad. The quantity did seem a little on the tight side. Decafe tea excellent. There are toilet facilities which were clean and well looked after. One star docked as the service took a long time considering it was quite, and the place lacks an atmosphere. It needs pictures, plants and decoration to make it less stark. Will try the breakfast if we go again. Its a friendly café with plenty of regulars. Dec 2023 update. We've been here a good few times, had the breakfasts and paninis. We are now getting to kown the lovely staff. They make their own cakes, the food is always fresh and they are always really friendly. It is now one of my favourite tea rooms in the village.

I've had a chance of dining at the Nottingham Knight during my stay at the premiere inn. I dined there a couple of time 3 I believe if I recall correctly. My server on all occasions was Marcy. The service was professional and really fast. She was more than happy to answer any questions regarding the menu and was full of warmth and friendly energy throughout my service. The food was of a decent quality and not too expensive from the perspective of a foreigner who's spending their summer holidays in England. The waiting time is not too long and the portion sizes are definitely satisfactory. Overall I would say that Nottingham Knight is a good value for money and I definitely enjoyed my time there. During my future stays in Nottingham I will most likely revisit this place not only because of its immediate proximity to the hotel I'm staying at but also because of the high quality of me meals and the professionalism of service. The only criticism I can mention is the ocassionsal generosity in terms of seasoning. Especially prominent when it comes to Halloumi Fries which although delicious were definitely on the saltier side. Which is not necessarily a bad thing and an issue of personal preference.

Nice pub atmosphere although we visited for the restaurant. There is limited parking to the rear. The staff were friendly, and attentive and able to accommodate a big group. A great and wide selection of food and drinks, including vegan options. The food was delicious, better than the typical pub standard. Definitely worth another visit when I'm back in the area.

I always have a lovely visit to three spices, the food is always excellent and never waiting for your meal as it is always on time. The staff are really lovely and they always greet you at the door with a smile. It is affordable prices and you never get let down with your meal as it is always good. I would definitely recommend for anyone to pay a visit to this restaurant.

Last time I visited, I was 17 or 18 with my father. This time I attended with my partner, we had already decided takeaway but upon arrival. Was greeted so warmly, we decided to stay for the meal and dine in. Had decided the meal as well, well the started changed, we knew our curries but after speaking with the attendant - we choose a different starter Momo ( soft, curried dumplings) and before the Momo starter. We had 3 poppadoms and the chutneys, which of course we finished. Then the Momo came out and we shared, 2x each and wow. At first I thought I needed chopsticks lol, the dumpling was so soft when transferring it slightly came apart but the aroma completely took over. Perfect balance of flavour, filling and I have to say - I would order the Momo as a main on its own. My favourite, main is Keema and I love this dish. The take on the keema here was sensational, I loved the peas and was not overwhelmed by onions but by original flavour. I had so much, when I mixed the rice in - i had two meals. My partner ordered the Rum Rum, this was flavourful, excellent portions of lamb and first time he choose a different curry. Also the attendant, came over and explained the dishes and the country behind these. We are even looking at traveling abroad to visit, forgive me for forgetting to take the pictures of the mains but when the mains arrived. We just started eating straight away, and silence reigned complete while devouring the food. Yes the bill was £58, but 2 starters, two mains and two pilua rice (in honesty, 1 rice for us both would of been enough) and a single Southern Comfort with lemonade, plus a pint of cobra. We are coming back again and I have found a local, that I'm happy to order from on take away or dine in. A fantastic night, this is not a modern restaurant and the decor is not up to date but I would eat in this restaurant than in the city centre for higher prices and smaller portions. Families are welcome, and their is room for a gathering, believe you and me - it is worth every penny.

What a great find! I went for dinner with friends for the first time. The pub was busy and had a really friendly, cosy atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We chose the loaded fries and had starters too, oh my goodness it was delicious and the portions are huge! Will definitely go back!

Probably one of the tastiest curry’s I’ve had in a long while. I was a little apprehensive as it was empty when we arrived at 8pm on a Saturday evening but as we’d been once before a while ago and really enjoyed it. We were not disappointed and will definitely be going back.

First time going here and very happy with everything. Had the salt and pepper box and was so shocked to have one massive box and another small one with a bag of prawn crackers and the food was delicious especially the ribs. The lady was lovely that took our order and it took less then 5 minutes would 100% go again.

Best salt & pepper in Nottingham. Salt & pepper box a must grab!
