The Three Crowns in Nottingham

Ah, The Three Crowns in Nottingham – it's one of those local spots that just feels like a proper British pub, you know? From what I've gathered chatting about it with folks, the staff are the real stars here; they're friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home whether you're popping in for a quick drink or settling in for the evening. The atmosphere is spot on for enjoying live sports or catching up with mates, and it's all at a price that won't leave your wallet weeping – think excellent value for a solid night out. Happy hour and some menu items, like that festive buffet, get rave reviews for being spot-on and lifting your spirits. But, and I say this as a mate giving straight advice, the food can be a bit of a mixed bag. We've heard tales of dishes not quite matching the menu, like a hunters chicken turning up without the salad or steak that's overdone, and some appetisers coming out cold and underwhelming. It's a shame because the place has so much going for it, but if you're heading there, maybe stick to the drinks and simpler options to avoid any letdowns. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back visit, especially if you're in the Hockley area, but keep expectations realistic for the grub – that way, you're in for a good time without any surprises.
