Fothergills, Nottingham

This pub first opened in the mid 80s and when i first went in here there were only keg beers on the bar. After a short period of closure Fothergills has reopened and there is now a good choice of real ales on the bar. The main entrance is to the left hand side of the pub this takes you into a small room with a couple of tables and chairs,the main room is down a few steps this room is L shaped and bare boarded,the seating is mainly chesterfields and leather chairs with low tables,there is also another small room down a few more steps to the right. There were 5 pumps on the bar,i had a drink of Castle Rock Harvest Pale which was a very nice well kept pint the other beers were Flipside Flipping best,Derventio Emperors Whim,Castle Rock Pie Eyed and a Welsh beer which may have been a cider called Gwynt Y Drag Dog dancer. The pub does food and i found this to be a nice pub to sit and relax over a decent pint,the landlord said they do Camra discounts on pints and halfs. The pub is situated opposite the castle walls and Robin Hoods statue. There is a small seating area at the front of the pub which catches the sun in the afternoon. This pub is ideal for taking your wife or girlfriend in but it is not a place for gangs of blokes to go drinking. I quite liked it in here and i think it is a good addition to the Nottingham drinking scene. Pub visited 22/3/2012
