The Heart at Ruddington Pub in West Bridgford

Easthorpe St, Ruddington, Nottingham NG11 6LB

About This Pub

Ah, let me tell you about The Heart at Ruddington – it's one of those pubs that just warms you up from the moment you step inside. Having had a full makeover, it's got this fresh, inviting feel with a sun-soaked beer garden that's just made for lazy afternoons. The menu is a real highlight; their head chef has put together some bold, flavoursome dishes that cater to all tastes, including plenty of vegan options that impressed me no end. I love how they handle groups and events, like sorting out a birthday bash with ease and serving up generous portions that mean no one leaves hungry. The staff are an absolute delight, always cheerful and ready to lend a hand, which really makes the place stand out. On the flip side, if you're after a simple evening of just drinks, it might feel a tad more restaurant-oriented, and while recent reviews are rave-worthy, the overall rating suggests there might be the odd off day. Still, for a solid night out in Ruddington, it's a gem – I'd say pop in for a meal and see for yourself; you won't be disappointed!

Cons

While the food and service shine, it might not be the best choice if you're just popping in for a quick pint, as the focus seems more on dining.

The pub's operating status mentioned as closed might confuse things, but from what I've seen, it's open and buzzing most days.

Came with my Mum and a group from her nursing home, Orchard House. Great food, I am vegan and was given a wonderful plate of vegan delights. There's was lots of food for everyone, especially cakes which my mum was delighted about! Always great service, helpful and kind. Thank you

Good service and beer. Nice beer garden. I didn't order food so I can't comment.

This pub was first established in 1811. It's been tastefully renovated by its owner, Jack and is a pleasant place to have a pint or a meal. The portions are generous and the food is good. If you leave here hungry, that would be exceptional. The staff are cheerful and chirpy and the service from Tracy is quick.

Jack, Matthew, Tracey and the chef knocked this one out of the park! We wanted a birthday gathering in a private room with enough food for 14 people. They were accommodating even when we had to change the date at the last minute. The chef made us Halloumi Fries, 3 types of chicken wings and Mushrooms with Ciabatta bread, delivered continuously by the friendly staff. We all thoroughly enjoyed the night, and highly recommend otters to visit the pub for food and drinks to try other exciting foods, and Sunday Roast options.
