This was the first time we'd been to the Nag's Head but it definitely won't be the last. As a gf vegetarian I was so looked after with the chef/manager they took the time to call after we'd booked to go through what they could offer and made an additional dish especially so I had more choice! The others in our party were well catered for too, the steak of the day went down particularly well!

Every time I have been in (either with friends or on a date with my partner) the atmosphere has been brilliant!Food has always been perfect for our tastes and served within a timely manner. The steak deal is also fantasticAll staff, whenever I have attended, have been polite, accommodating, friendly and over all excellent.Would highly recommend for people who love good pub food and friendly peopleVegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options availableDietary restrictions: They were able to offer plenty of variety for my mother whom is gluten intolerant and then had plenty of vegan options.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of child friendly activities advertised on their face book page. A fair few children were there when we attended lastWheelchair accessibility: They do have access, it is round the side

Food was good. Staff were overly casual " my head's not in it today" "pino, sav or chard" room was cold and over right lighting. OK but won't be back in a while.

Very friendly and efficient staff - food was lovely - had the steak sandwiches. Sirloin was cooked as we requested, and very generous. Everything piping hot, and served quickly.

Family get together and my Brother booked the Nags Head. Great menu choice for us but I think they were short handed alone of our dishes was missed. All sorted in the end ?

Lovely little traditional pub with top quality food and great service. We went as a family of 4 the night before our flight. We booked a table and were seated and served promptly, then our food arrived quickly and they had a 2 large parties in. We were very impressed, the tuekey soup, was amazing and the burger was one of thes best my husband had tasted. We will definitely be back again, before our next holiday. Highly recommend

Overall found the Nags Head very comfortable and the service excellent. However found the portion sizes on the specials board were not so good. Ordered the 8oz sirloin steak with fries etc for £11.00 which seemed very very reasonable but unfortunately a third of the steak was gristle and the salad on the plate was well disappointing to say the least, 2 small lambs ears, half a slice of cucumber and half a slice of tomato says it all. Which proves that you do get what you pay for. Of the other guests that went with us, one said the tuna salad was excellent and the spaghetti bolognese was quite good too. So not all bad.Parking: Car ark is quite small, need to park on side road alongside car park.

We phoned on the off chance as we were staying at the Airport hotel and were delighted. We were really well looked after. The steak was great and really reasonable and the burger was one of the best we've ever had. The staff were really friendly and attentive and the pub was cosy and relaxed. Even though it was busy we didn't feel at all pressured. Service was remarkably quick and we took a walk into Castle Donnignton afterwards which looked lovely with the frost and Christmas lights. Would highly recommend.

The food here is so good! Had the Sunday dinner yesterday and it was outstanding! The pork belly was just so good and really good value as well! Will be back asap, thanks so much!

My partner and I are both vegan. I had the Big V Stack and my partner the beetroot burger, we were both impressed! Tasted lovely and had incredibly quick service (5-10 minutes, tops).Definitely will come again.

Not our first time visiting but we don’t come often. Food was fabulous and good value - the Cajun chicken burger being a firm favourite of mine!! Staff are friendly and knowledgable about the food on menu. Will definitely come again!

We were in Castle Donnington for our daughter’s wedding. Family started arriving the night before, so we needed to find somewhere to feed 19 people. The Nags Head said they could accommodate us so we booked.We didn’t expect to all be seated together, so when we arrived to find a large section reserved for us and tables arranged together we were so grateful and knew we had made the right choice.Our server (so sorry can’t remember her name) was friendly, attentive and efficient, a real credit to The Nags Head.Drinks were flowing, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was fabulous.All the meals arrived together, hot and freshly prepared. Drinks arrived without delay.Thank you to the whole team for making the evening a huge success.Would definitely recommend The Nags Head and will certainly go back.

Visited today as a party of 5 for the carvery. I had booked in advance we are not local, and had been looking for a good pub halfway between Solihull and Chesterfield. I’m glad we booked as it was busy! Carvery was amazing, meat was lovely, all the sides were perfectly cooked. Chef was really friendly, and waiting staff were attentive. Good value for money, will definitely be visiting again! Thank you

Amazing place! Asked for my burger to be extra hot and was presented with the most delicious and unbelievably spicy dish! A burger topped with a Carolina Reaper! Amazing. Should definitely be put on the menu! Not only is the food excellent, the staff are welcoming and attentive and the whole place has a vibrant and warm atmosphere, great evening!
