Horse and Jockey, Staplefordback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Sister pub to The Star in Beeston with similar decor and real ale selection. Relaxing vibe, clean, well kept with good choice of real ale craft beers. A real find in Stabbo and beats most other locals for miles around hands down.

Great pub and I stayed there last week end.
Basic rooms with shared washing facilitys but at £25 a night you can't complain.
The local ale "Full Mash" is still available @ £2.50 a pint with 10p off for CAMRA members. Very nice it is too.

Pub re-opened as real ale venue Oct 2012 so please disregard any revews before this date!
first class pub with no TV, no Juke Box, no slot machines. Ten hand-pumps generally at least half of them LocAle - including an exclusive "Horse and Jockey" session ale from Full Mash at a very agreeable £2.50/pint before your 10p Camra discount.
CANRA national finalist in 2013 and already won Nottingham PotY for 2014.
Themed mini beer-festival at least once a month

I visited early Saturday evening after it had won the East Midlands pub of the year.
Doing a roaring trade with a great range of beers to choose from. Deservedly popular with a wide range of customers. But would I put it number one on my list of pubs in the East Midlands? No I would not. It is very good and a great example of what can be achieved to make a community pub really work, but it still lacks a kind of homeliness for me.
Well worth a visit if you're around those parts, but there is little else in the vicinity to make a night of it.

Great pub, with a fine selection of real ales. The only decent pub in the area, well worth a bus trip from Nottingham.

Well it's finally happened, someone making a go at a real pub, in Stabbo.
Since the town is inundated with plenty of TV/slots/pool table/jukebox/cheap keg/lager/alchopop/shots/pram-friendly rammel already, and the only effort at a multiple real ales pub limited to WitherKFCs; the Jockey's refurb & change of tack is very much to this contributor's pleasure.
Before, exactly as described; Now, new management, tidy enough refurb, 10 handpulls (predominately locale), no music, no slots, no carvery, nothing but conversation, proper snacks and awesome beer. Oh and CAMRA member discounts BTW, too.
Long may it last.
My Xmas present has definitely come early.
