This is the first time I have had food at the Vat and Fiddle and it was **** brilliant! Me and my girlfriend went on a whim for lunch one Sunday and got two vegetarian roasts for £12.95 each. I was initially skeptical since the Bread and Bitter (Castle Rock) once did me an expensive V roast that was tiny, but this was very generous (as a Sunday roast should be). The seitan meat substitute was delicious. I wondered if this was homemade since it tasted fresh. Needless to say, if so, this is a talent to make good, so hats off to the chef. The rest of the meal was definitely homemade the yorkie, stuffin, roasties and were all done extremely well. My only criticism is that I would’ve personally p...
My team recently attending the Vat and Fiddle for a work team building away day and we booked the tier 2 package which included a brewery tour, two half pints, and opportunity to pour our own pints, and included lunch also. We found this to be extremely good value for money, the staff were all absolutely amazing, they were so accommodating for all of our requests (being incredibly flexible for dates and times which is really appreciated), and all the staff on the day were incredible lovely and professional. For 13 food orders, everything was delicious and quick to be served (serving staff were amazing), the menu in general is very flexible as we had a number of vegetarians/vegans and numerou...
I had my 30th birthday party in the venue the pub offers to rent out. It was amazing! Plenty of space, chairs, tables, etc. The industrial vibe of the place fit right in with the theme Funeral For My Youth. We even had our own smoking area which seemed to be one of the most popular places of the night! Nicky and Jesse sorted everything out for us and showed where’s what and what can be used by the guests super promptly. The private bar didn’t disappoint and it had everything we needed. If my guests couldn’t find something, they always had it at the main bar. The location (right outside the Nottingham train station) was great and everyone found it very easily. Many thanks to all the staff! Th...
Return visit, October 2022: Still the good real ale pub that I first visited in the mid 2010s. Castle Rock beers from the well (the brewery is right next door), and at moderate prices. How much you 'll gravitate towards Castle Rock 's ales is another question, but there 's always a wide variety available and they are all certainly the freshest here that they can be. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. I don 't remember the covered outside seating from my previous visits, and it 's certainly nice to relax out there on a mild autumn evening. Certainly a nicer place to hang out than the sparsely decorated, colder BeerhHeadZ right AT Nottingham Station, also far less expensive.

While you still get a decent pint, the staffing standards have dropped considerably. Most of them have forgot there manners and very rarely say please or thank you or will just look straight through you as you wait to be served. The toilets are an absolute disgrace and I've smelled better septic tank's than the mens and the place as a whole needs cleaning up.
One of my favourite pubs in Nottingham. Tried the 6 course taster menu for Burns Night and it was all delicious, prepared with care and it was great value for money. Compliments to the chef, (who my dog is also a big fan of. The staff were lovely as always. We look forward to going back soon.
Visited the Vat and Fiddle for a change before pre-match trip to NFFC, bar full of NFFC supporters, plenty of staff for quick service, ample food menu and a pleasant atmosphere, well worth a pint or 3 of Skreech Owl.
A great boozer! While I haven’t tried the food, the venue is lovely with very friendly staff and a fantastic selection of beer. It has the feel a classic community pub, something not often found these days.

We organised an event in the Goldings room and it went really smoothly pre ordered food and was tasty and good portions. Excellent choice of beers.
V close to the station. Live music. Huge area outside as well as inside. The beer choice is amazing. Pint of Brian Clough anyone? Loved it
