Bread and Bitter

Great pub, love the range of Castle Rock ales-​yummy. And the food is AMAZING!!! Give it a go.

A great pub, gets very busy at weekends. Good selection of real ales. The staff are pleasant. Food excellent, with a very good variety of meals and snacks on the menu. The portions are huge! Excellent value for money. A good, friendly atmosphere.

it is crowded most of the times, it is not a quite place, it is designed to look like an old pub, nice beers and laggers, cheap wines, barrel tables, and wooden floor and tables, its a small local pub, that’s it.

Mapperley Top was definitely crying out for a decent modern pub up there and so along came this place a few years ago (recently joined by a Wetherspoon nextdoor).
Now it is pitched at the older crowd as it offers many choices for bitters and out of the ordinary lagers can also be had. It also has that olb pub feel to it, or at least tries to create that feel and that is where I think it struggles.
There is a mis match of what is in there. Rough wooden floors and beer barrel tables give out one signal, but then a smart little conservatory added on give it another. I can never decide whether it is a temporary building or a proper pub. It has that kind of cross between a local and having a drink in the Scout Hut.
Despite my reservations on whether or not the feel is right inside, it is very popular and as with any pub as long as the people in there are having a good time then it makes it a good place to be. People seem to like it and I can be persuaded.

New pub with some great beers on tap.
A negative is the service and slow staff, waiting times to get served at the weekends can be appalling.
