Large food place with rooms to left and right, bar in the middle. Four hand pumps - nothing of any strength. Full of noisy children.

The Bridge was built by banks's about 20 years ago.
It is a large modern open plan pub on the main road heading east out of Nottingham.
I thought this pub was fairly comfortable inside and relied mainly on food trade there were a couple of real ales on the bar i had Banks's Bitter there was also Pedigree,not a bad place for a drink and something to eat if your passing by in a car.
Update: The Gamston Lock is a rebuild of The Bridge that burned down due to a kitchen fire.
Is the Gamston Lock going to be re added and the Bridge listing left as closed.
Experts on this site will no doubt know better than me on this subject.

The Gamston Lock is a large new build on the site of a former pub demolished by Fire. The turnaround for construction of this new place after the fire was so sudden I still know people who have not realised it is a different pub as the turnaround was truly remarkable. The pub is well described below as a large family friendly pub with Childrens paly area outside and lots of car parking spaces as this is more of a commuter’s pub for meals than a local boozer. It is very modern and open plan with lots of tables and chairs for dining around a centrally located bar. There is also a nice outside seating area with many tables and chairs and a undercover area for smokers when it’s raining. There were four hand pulls on the front facing bar and a further four on the right hand side bar but both displayed the same beers (Pedigree x2) Banks’s Sunbeam and Ringwood Brewery Red Boar. The Pedigree and Sunbeam were both sampled at a pretty decent £3 especially considering this is in one of the nicer area of the outer city and both were kept in decent nick. Overall a pleasant pub to visit for a nice pint of cask ale but definitely more of a eating pub and not the sort of place to go on a session. That said it acted as a perfect refreshment stop sat out in the sun after a long walk and would come back if ever in the area to sample another well priced pint.
