Hogs Head Hotel

We visited the Restaurant for a Saturday night meal with friends on recommendation. A large comfortable lounge with dining area .Menu choice is good with Specials board. Portions are generous & served promptly & piping hot.One Staff member very helpful & we would certainly return for Sunday lunch Rather surprised to be told Bar closes at 9pm (quite abruptly) when we wished to order a drink !!! Hospitality,it's the smile that counts.☺️ Ideal for daytime family visits as large garden away from the road.

At first I was a bit apprehensive booking, having stayed in pubs before, which involves music til midnight and drunken revellers staggering home. HOW WRONG I WAS. It is a pub but focusing on lunch and dinner. This closes at about 8:30pm and everyone goes home. So if your arriving late get something to eat before you arrive. The food served is varied enough to cover most tastes and as we stopped there for several days having lunch and dinner frequently, we did not have to repeat a meal. Alcoholic drinks are varied especially if you like cider. Breakfast can be a range from cereal to full English and everything in between. The staff are lovely and helpful and even made up a pack lunch as we had to leave before breakfast. The B and B is located at the end of a quiet road and the car park is massive We stoped on two occasions for a few days each time. So stayed in two rooms. Both standard size. The one upstairs had a really lovely sized bathroom and shower. The one downstairs was a little smaller but perfectly adequate. Coffee, tea , and sugar are loose in Kilner jars. Milk is in the single serving punnets. The coffee is is standard instant and to strong for my taste.

We have stayed twice recently at this lovely place. All the staff are very friendly & welcoming. The rooms are spotlessly clean & have everything needed for a very pleasant stay. It is located on the edge of a quiet village in very pretty gardens yet is very close to Nottingham. The food, both the breakfasts & the evening meals we had in the bar on both visits were very good. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area. A real gem of a find for us.

The hotel is clean and comfortable. Plenty of tea bags and milk in room. The food is good. Everything is reasonably priced and the service is excellent. I have recommended this hotel to my family and friends.

A great hotel. The staff excellent, room extremely clean and bed very comfy. The food is completely home cooking. The prices superb. Nice places to walk nearby. Free parking and very safe. When working in the area, this is the first place I look to stay.

Stayed here for 1 night from start to finish I found it to be excellent. Room was clean tidy and well equipped. The staff were friendly professional and nothing was too much trouble. The food portion were very generous and very reasonable prices too.The home cooked breakfast was fantastic. Plenty parking outside grassed areas even a well stocked fish pond. I will definitely stay again

What a fabulous hotel. Cannot praise it highly enough. Rooms spotless and so comfortable. Evening meal was delicious. Very generous portions. Breakfast was lovely Staff welcoming and friendly at breakfast Great parking Lovely quiet area in the countryside

Visited Hogs Head Tues lunchtime and good job we booked as the place was very busy. 2 of us had the Lamb & Mint pie, delicious Homemade Chips & Peas, the others had Steak & Mushroom pie and the Cajun Chicken - both with the Homemade Chips. All the food was served hot and was delicious. The 2 younger members of staff were lovely & friendly - the older member not so much - when she cleared our table we asked her where they sourced their meat from she just said 'not a clue' !! Nice and informative reply (not) !!! Will be visiting again soon.

Took a while to decide whether to book or not but overall glad we did. We have visited Nottingham several times as eldest was at Uni and now lives there. This weekend we were moving him so we’re just up for one night. Initially had difficulty with the booking as for some reason my bank card refused to work online or over phone. Spoke to Lorraine? a couple of times and she was helpful and friendly. On the day we were staying, we had dinner in town with son so weren’t due to arrive until 21:00. Had a call from one of the staff just to ensure that we were aware what time the kitchen was closing so we didn’t arrive hungry and unable to eat which was a really nice touch. When we arrived we were shown to our room, shown where breakfast was and how to access outside (if either were smokers). The room was immaculately clean, with bathroom the same. Really comfy bed and nice shower. The walls weren’t particularly soundproof and I could hear someone snoring, I think above, and when the couple in the room next door came to their room, it was obvious when they were completing their ablutions. Having said that, we both slept very well. We arrived at breakfast just after 08:30 (weekend breakfast is 08:30-09:30), all the tables were labelled with room numbers so no choice of seat. There were boxed cereals and jugs of orange juice, with some quite overripe bananas to help yourself to and the lady serving welcomed us, stating she would be over in a few moments. We helped ourselves to orange juice which was definitely not fresh and actually had a strange tang to it. I am unsure how many rooms there are but there were probably 16 people in the dining room when we arrived. She made her way round the tables systematically but in no rush, tea and coffee first then breakfast orders between delivering the breakfasts that were being made in the kitchen. We requested coffee which came in a teapot for us to share and full English breakfasts with brown toast. I’m not sure how many times our “coffee” had been through the filter but it certainly wasn’t fresh or even coffee to be honest. More like muddy water. I would say that there had been several jugs of water brewed through the same filter. I had noticed that when she was delivering toast to other tables, presented in a 4 slice rack, she was carrying it with her hands on the toast, after delivering to one table she definitely put her finger in her mouth on her way back to the kitchen. When ours arrived, carried in the same manner, I saw that her fingernails were filthy and this really put me off eating it. Breakfast was ok, I thought the bacon and the poached egg were nice. The sausage was underdone but a nice flavour and the fried quarter slice of bread was good too. It definitely wasn’t the amazing breakfast that finally sold me on the booking. All in all, a very cheap and comfortable stay, but the breakfast really needs to improve. I’d say unlikely to stay again, which is a real shame as 99% of the staf
