Magna Charta - Pub & Grill Southwell Road, Lowdham, Nottingham NG14 7DQ

"Great atmosphere here, and quite a varied menu. I had booked for another pub, which, after eating there a couple of days before, was really poor, but prompted me to try the Magna Charta. My patina was excellent, and my friends burger was exceptional .. we were looked after well by waiting staff. Unfortunately the 3 coffees we ordered weren't piping hot. And our other friend wasn't overly impressed with her garlic mushrooms. But mine was brilliant, well priced, well presented. Will definitely go again."

"Friendly and helpful staff. The beer seems well kept - no complaints there. The lighting, layout and decor creates a modern but bland and characterless ambience - family-friendly and inoffensive, but not enticing. As for the food: well, to be honest, it's below average for the money. The steak pie I had was very dry, with lots of pastry and not much meat, and it was served with an absurdly tiny amount of gravy - perhaps half an inch in the bottom of a small round dish. I left most of the pastry. On another occasion I had one of their burgers, and it was OK, but no better than countless mass-produced burgers you can get in any cheap eatery, and certainly well below par for the money. If you fancy a burger, you'd be better going to McDonalds and paying half the money. Two of my friends had the chicken salad and they tell me it was very good, so maybe you should stick to that. In summary: very good staff; good beer; below average food (especially at that price); family-friendly but characterless."

"Very nice cosy pub, good atmosphere and very nice staff! Food was delicious, will come back for more! Loads of options from a grill and deserts are simply amazing!"

"Excellent early lunch. Enjoyed it very much food was great and the staff were great. Friendly and helpful. Did a great job. All food was off the lunchtime menu. Which is great value"
