Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Saw this on tripadvisor I was looking for a local pub near where I was staying so thought I would have a walk over to it. Not my usual sort of pub but I must say it was much better than I expected when I walked in. Beers are fairly standard the decor is decent but the people are great which makes this a good pub in my view

This pub was very near our B&B. I wanted to drink a "pint" at an actual, English, pub. Began talking to a very nice lady that was playing pool. Her pool partner joined us shortly therafter. Turns out the lady (Helen) owned the place and the guy with her (Brendan) was her boyfriend, and he operated the food truck outside during the day. Went out of their way giving us info, gave us ice, aluminum foil, and our drinks were on the house. Just can't stress enough how nice the owners and patrons were at this establishment. Will definitely return.

Saturday afternoon 13/1/18 for the half five kick between Forest & Villa on SkyTV, must admit not my choice of pub, my mates, it was packed solid with youth & blokes some in work clothes, a proper local, quite happy that I recognized a few lads I knew, the Theakstones bitter was very good, even the dark one my mate brought me by mistake good atmosphere, pity Forest did not! After the football was a DJ spinning some classic Northern Soul, I would have no problems going again.

I’m sure the food is very nice, not that I’ll ever know because after 25 minutes of waiting for scrambled eggs, I gave it up as a bad job. If you’ve got infinite time, crack on.

Popped in on the way to see friends and ended up staying until last orders. Great atmosphere with great people. Everyone was friendly and when I first arrived there was a singer on who was very good. Even had a go at sticky thirteens ( didn’t win ) but the landlady was very funny and made the experience very good. The staff were also very friendly and kept things running smoothly. I’d recommend a visit and if you’re a Guinness drinker like myself then it’s the best pint outside of the Guinness brewery in my opinion. Thank you Headstocks

Won't be eating or drinking there again.
If the owners and management of the headstocks let customers have their dogs lay full length on the table top without saying anything, what goes on in the background.

Typical local-as in-full of the type of clowns you would cross the street to avoid.sitting between Bulwell and Basford you can imagine the braintrust of clients it entertains...two things that mark it out as somewhere to avoid-Sky sports/family friendly...after a few sojurns there myself,i now know why-even though I only live 5 minutes walk away-I`ve avoided it all these years,

The staff are the best,we have regular meetings here,and are provided with tea/coffee at very good rates? Most of the members also have a lunch,and for the price are very good!
The only problem I find with the pub are the toilets ,though clean are not in a good state of repair,hence my rating!

Plenty veg and gravy anything you ask for nothings too much trouble,
Puddings reasonable priced under £3
Must try you won't regret it
