Fellows Morton & Clayton, Nottingham

An absolutely fantastic looking detached late Victorian canal-side building with patio area. It is predominantly in brick with a lot of stone moulding and trimmings, which give it a slight mock-Tudor look. The interior has a function room upstairs and a galley restaurant down a newel staircase. The main room is L-shaped and is in white and red walls and ceiling, some of which is exposed brick. The serving bar is part way down on the right and as the room turns at the end, down a few steps, is a more dining kind of area - i didn't eat so i can't comment on the food, but the cobs a £2 each, so not the cheapest. There are a few old pictures on the walls, a couple of railway ones i noted. There are several TVs showing football and there was no music at my visit. There service was fine and the clientele mixed - mainly watching the footy. Beer; usual tap stuff with an excellent choice of real ales on handpull; Doombar, Nottinghamshire Brewery's EPA and Legacy, London Pride, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Fuller's ESB; Mallard's Duck and Dive and a decent Otter ale. An excellent pub - i was in last night, though the review dates to May - so clearly i have returned. A must do in Notts.
