Fothergills

What it’s like

A Nottingham pub and carvery serving breakfast through to evening mains, with a terrace and a free party room for bigger groups.

This is a pub that opens early and stays open late, which is handy if your household eats breakfast at 8am or not until half past nine at the weekend. Breakfast runs until 11am every day, then it switches over to mains, served Monday to Saturday from 11:30am to 9pm and a bit shorter on Sundays, 12 to 8.

There's no kids menu listed here, so this reads more like a proper sit-down meal out than a quick family pit stop, though nothing stops a family booking a table for a Sunday roast or an evening dinner. Dogs are allowed in the bar and on the terrace if they're well behaved, so it works if you're bringing the family dog along with the family.

If you're planning a birthday do, the function room is free to hire and holds up to 54 seated or 60 standing, with its own bar and toilets plus a music system and projector. That's a decent option for a bigger family gathering rather than a toddler's tea party, given the numbers involved.

One practical thing to flag: it's a cashless venue, so leave the cash at home and bring a card.
