We visited the Admiral Rodney in September, choosing it because it's website advertised a Sunday carvery. Four of us ate in the restaurant and the carvery was wonderful, service was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We returned to visit Southwell today and chose to eat at the Admiral Rodney again. This time we chose to eat in the bar area which had a lovely atmosphere and a log fire to warm us up. We were served by Val, who was friendly and helpful, and we ordered a range of dishes from the menu. We couldn't fault any of them - I particularly enjoyed the rhubarb and apple crumble! Look forward to a return visit!!

I worry that Trip Advisor reports have this Pub averaging 4 stars.It is low grade in almost every respect. I recognised all the points made in the poor reviews and saw nothing of the points made in the positive reviews.... save to note that it has good parking.

Truly wonderful food which has been consistently excellent for many years. I attended an event at the deli recently and the buffet was superb. Couldnât recommend highly enough.

We had dinner here one evening whilst camping nearby. What a great place! Really tidy interior with such nice staff, the two lads that were working the night that we went in were lovely.Our meals were delicious, portions are large and extremely good value for money. I had a beef and ale pie and my other half had scampi. The beef in my pie was so tender, and the chips were homemade, which seems to be so rare to find these days.We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

Went today for lunch. One had scampi & chips, one had cheese & ham omelette & chips, coke & coffee. Coffee cold, chips overdone, dried up & inedible. Omelette basically ok but overdone & rubbery. Scampi ok but again chips inedible. Asked to speak to owner to discuss, got message back to say he was busy! Poor Team Leader had to apologise over and over. Not her fault, The fault was in the kitchen and the owner who couldn't be bothered to spend five minutes discussing the problem! Waiting staff very good and very helpful, especially Team Leader who should not have to take responsibility for the cooking which is the owners responsibility, but he obviously couldn't care less about customers. Will not be going again!! Such a shame it used to be a brilliant place to eat and drink with friends.Dear Cassie,Our staff do a fantastic job dealing with all sorts of issues including customers that eat all of their food and then complain about it. You were offered complimentary drinks and a refund, as you felt that this was not enough, you then went on to threaten to post reviews on Trip advisor as you felt this offer was not good enough. I Myself was dealing with Garden Centre Customers and felt that the duty manager had bent over backwards to do her best. She explained the issue to me about the food and what she had offered, my intervention would not of changed the result. We don't have managers available for customers to attempt bypass them to speak the "owner" because they think the result is going to be different. My managers are able to make complex decisions and 95% of the time i will support the decision made.We as a business will not be beaten with a stick by customers writing reviews as we all do the very best we can, in a complex environment. The duty manager will be getting personal praise from myself for dealing with you so well.This has been confirmed by yourself writing 2 very poisonous reviews on our site, I hope that you feel that you have made the world a better place. I have also checked some of your previous reviews and a similar pattern emerges you have 6 good reviews and 5 Bad reviews, either you are not good at picking places to go or you really have an issue with good people wanting to do their best for you.

We enjoyed our meal here, both had the roast, very tasty. Thought the portion of meat was a little small! The carrots and cauliflower were undercooked. Hence the 4 stars.The serving staff were attentive and the beer was well kept.We have booked again for another try!

Love this pub as it is full of character & plenty of tables outside if you fancy dining outdoors.The food was excellent, very friendly staff & good service.We dined with friends & didnât realise we had waited a while for the main course - a member of staff brought us a free bottle of wine to apologise which was so kind of them.

We have stayed in the Beaumond Cross Inn before and enjoyed it then. This time, it was even better! The room (Room 9) was large, very clean and light, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we have slept in. The hotel staff are so friendly; nothing is too much for them. The breakfast choice is vast, and I particularly recommend the Full English! It is cooked to order, so there is no buffet with only warm food. We cannot fault this hotel and recommend it to all our friends. And to cap it all, it is only a five-minute walk to the town centre, so very conveniently located.

Some confusion with the Groupon voucher meant we ordered 2 courses but still had to pay for our desserts as the Groupon was for starter and main only, not main and dessert. Disappointing as we told the waitress when we arrived that we had the 2 course Groupon and ordered our food and nothing was said until our bill arrived. We didn't have the starters that were included but still charged for the desserts. The food wasn't great, the burger tasted gristly. Ice cream sundaes were very basic. Quite disappointed after reading the great reviews and won't return.We are sorry you were disappointed. Unfortunately it states on the terms and conditions on the Groupon site and also on the voucher what is included in the deal and that it can not be exchanged for anything else without a surcharge being paid. We are sorry you didn't enjoy the food and hope you reconsider about trying us again
