The Lincolnshire Poacher in Nottingham

Ah, The Lincolnshire Poacher, what a lovely spot it is in the heart of Nottingham – I've heard so many good things, and from what I've seen, it's spot on for a proper pub experience. The beers are an absolute highlight; they've got this brilliant range of cask ales and a massive whisky collection that could keep you exploring for hours, which is just brilliant if you're into that sort of thing. Pair that with the warm, welcoming atmosphere – it's got that classic alehouse feel with a snug and a beer garden that feels like a hidden retreat – and you've got yourself a winner. The food's another plus when it's on offer; those homemade meals and Sunday roasts are proper comforting, but do bear in mind it's not available all the time, so you might have to plan around the hours to avoid disappointment. It's dog-friendly too, which is always a nice touch for those impromptu walks. On the flip side, it does get packed on busier evenings, so if you're after a quiet corner, you might need to get there early. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a genuine, no-fuss pub night – the sort of place that keeps you coming back for more, with its mix of tradition and little extras like events and discounts.
