About This Pub

Oh, mate, let me tell you about The Dorset – it's one of those pubs in West Bridgford that just hits the spot for a relaxed evening out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is an absolute winner; people are raving about the fish and chips, burgers, and even the veggie dishes, all served up fresh and tasty. The staff really shine too – they're not just polite, they're genuinely engaging, like that waiter who made a little one feel extra special, which is brilliant for families or groups. The decor and music create this calming backdrop that's perfect after a long day, and with moderate prices, it's easy on the wallet. On the flip side, it's a bit of a shame the website's not working properly, so you might struggle to get the lowdown online before you go. And that 'closed' status is a head-scratcher, but given the opening hours look solid, I'd say it's probably worth a visit – just pop in and see for yourself. All in all, it's a gem of a place that does the classics right, though it's always good to keep expectations realistic in case things vary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food is absolutely top-notch – from the best fish and chips I've had to delicious veggie options like the vegetable Wellington, it's all spot on.
Service is brilliant; the staff are friendly, attentive, and go the extra mile, like making kids feel special, which makes for a really welcoming vibe.
The atmosphere is lovely and relaxing, with great decor and calming tunes that make it a perfect spot for a casual meal or a catch-up with mates.
It's open seven days a week with decent hours from 9am to 11pm, so you can pop in for a bite whenever suits you.
With a solid 4.4 rating, it's clear folks keep coming back for the consistent quality and that homely feel.

Cons

The website seems to be playing up with some access issues, which might make it tricky to check menus or book ahead online.
Not much in the way of complaints from the reviews, but it's worth noting that the current status says it's closed, which could be a glitch – double-check before heading out.

Dined at The Dorset tonight, managed to place our order from the set priced menu before 18:30. Kev our waiter was attentive, friendly and very professional. Food delicious, I had the vegetable Wellington, I can truly say this was the best Wellington I’ve ever had. Pastry and filling out of this world. Ordered a Brownie for dessert, can this was superb and very well presented. All worth £19.95. This was my first visit and I will certainly be back again and friends/family. Due to the exceptional service I had tonight, I felt compelled to personally praise the kitchen staff, this definitely put a smile of their faces. Kev, Costa and Daniel are magnificent and so professional. They are an asset to the brand and worthy of a shout out. Management need to be aware, they have a great team. Keep up the outstanding work you do, your talents won’t go unnoticed.

First time coming here for food, very relaxing inside with great decor and calming tunes. service is top class and so is the food. Had chicken burger with onion rings and partner had chicken breast with sourdough bread. We’re both highly delighted with the quality of both the food and the service. Will definitely return here again.
