| Fantastic real ale pub in the heart of West Bridgford. I think it is owned by the Castle Rock brewery, and as such had a couple of Castle Rock ales on including Elsie Mo. Loads of other beers, but the ones I noted were Yamato from the Newby Wyke Brewery based in Grantham, Wadworths Horizon and my favourite Opal Wheat from The Beer studio in Salford, Manchester. This pub has a "U" shaped bar with the area very much given over to standing, but then another large room at the back with tables. Although I didn’t eat the food looked really good as well. With it's location it is a haunt of Forest and County football fans on match days, and I'm sure Cricket supporters in the summer months... On my last visit Forest were at home, so I nearly choked on my beer at all those Red scarves as I am an avid Leicester City fan... (Oh well, with Forest struggling in the championship and City at the lofty heights of topping the Premier league I guess I can allow them a few drinks on there way to another defeat!). Seriously though - A very good pub and highly recommended. Barrow_Beer_Hunter - 14 Mar 2016 12:20 |
| No doubt about it, this is a proper English pub. Called in here a couple of years back when I was staying in Nottingham for my daughter's wedding. The hotel we were in had no cask beers so I looked for the nearest pub and this was it. My mum, my wife and I walked to The Haven and when we walked through the door they were stunned at how basic it was. I think they were a bit scared it might be a rough house. I reassured them that with the selection of beers on offer this was a place where people were more interested in what they drank and the quality of it than how much of it they managed to gulp down. I told them rowdy behaviour was unlikely but that good natured fun was probably guaranteed. With seats at a premium we found a spot at the bar and propped it up for a couple of hours. It was quite noisy but with lots of conversation, not shouting or loud music. All the beers we tried were on form, the bar staff and other punters were polite and friendly. I got both my mum and wife drinking pints of proper beer and thoroughly enjoying it. They both loved the evening saying it was a great experience. My mum especially, she'd got to her 80's without experiencing the wonderful range of flavours that you can get from malt and hops. paulfitzs - 20 Jan 2016 13:01 |

| Good pub - well kept beers with a great choice of real ales, as well as choices for lager drinkers. They always have Castle Rock's Harvest Pale (well, other than when there was a world shortage!) and run a loyalty scheme for free beer ... The food is really good with several innovative vegetarian chouices everyday. Not bad prices either. Gets a bit much if there are games at the Forest ground or at the Cricket ground, but that's usually quite short-lived. Don't park in the Co-op car park for too long - they put pricey tickets on the cars! Other than that, a good time to be had at teh Stratford. geedah - 13 Apr 2012 09:36 |
| Nice and quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Great selection of CR brews and guests. Excellent cheese & onion butty freshly made. Can't fault it really. I suspect that would all change if the cricket was on...... 427scr - 17 Oct 2011 13:15 |
