About This Pub
Ah, Willow Tree – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in West Bridgford, you know? From what folks are saying, the staff are top-notch, always smiling and quick to sort you out, whether it's for a birthday bash or just a Friday night unwind. The food really shines too; think hearty roasts with those unlimited sides that keep you coming back for more, or burgers and fish and chips that hit the spot without emptying your wallet. It's got that warm, lively atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a drink, and the value is spot on for what you get. On the flip side, not every dish is a winner – some desserts might leave you wanting a bit more flavour – and there might be the odd hiccup with hours, so it's wise to check ahead. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a place that balances good times with good food, without any pretentious nonsense.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The staff are absolutely lovely and really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, like chatting with old mates.
-
The food is spot on, especially the roasts with unlimited roasties, Yorkshire puds, and gravy – it's proper comforting grub at a fair price.
-
It's got a cracking atmosphere, perfect for a casual night out or celebrating something special, with quick service and piping hot meals.
-
Value for money is brilliant; you get generous portions of tasty pub classics that could rival those fancy gastro spots without breaking the bank.
Cons
-
A couple of desserts, like the millionaire cheesecake, can be a bit underwhelming and bland, so maybe skip those if you're after something sweet.
-
The operating hours seem a tad confusing from what I've seen, with some mentions of it being 'close', but it's generally open late, so worth double-checking before heading out.

Local pub. Decent roast with decent pigs in blankets.
Plus is they give unlimited roasties, Yorkshire puddings and gravy.
Service was great tending to our needs.
Sticky toffee pudding was good, the millionaire cheese cake was bland.
Thank you to Wendy and her team you all worked so hard on such a busy night Christmas Eve was amazing the best in a few years. This is our local pub we visit weekly, there is always a great atmosphere with lovely staff who can not do enough to please.
The willow tree will continue to be our favourite pub and we love the mixer app!
Thanks Donna & Phil
We went on a Friday night for a friends birthday. We were welcomed by the staff who were really friendly and welcoming. The food was good price and the food was very tasty. The food arrived quick and was super hot. Highly recommend
Three of us went on Easter Saturday for a pub lunch and it could not have been nicer. Two of us had burgers and the other had fish and chips, which was a large portion. The chunky chips were lovely. Overall, the food was excellent quality and great value - it would put more expensive "gastro" pubs to shame. The waitress was friendly and could not have been more helpful and got our orders right, double-checking to make sure. A great outing.
Stayed in Nottingham for 4 nights and ended up eating here twice. 4 adults and 5 kids.
Staff were all really friendly. Went on the Saturday and had hunters chicken. Then went back on the Sunday for a roast, with bottomless Yorkshire’s and roast potatoes 😍.
We were probably the loud ones as we were drinking and laughing loads, the staff joined in and we were left in the corner to have fun.
