Bistros in Nottingham

“Maria was such an amazing server. The food was great and the venue was even better! We received our orders promptly and I enjoyed every bite”

“What a lovely place Perkins Bar & Bistro has become - it's been a very long time since I was here - I came to Perkins a couple of weeks after it opened in 1982 - back then it was a wee bit basic compared to the really smart establishment it is now.

Staff were really nice and attentive and service was perfect. Not too much fuss which is nice.

Food was very good - loved the duck spring rolls starter, which we both had (hoisin sauce maybe next time?). My wife had sea bass which was superb, and I went for battered haddock, chips and pea puree, which was lovely, the only small criticism I have was the battered haddock came with a load of salt crystals scattered on top, which, because the batter was hot and slightly tacky, it was difficult to remove all the salt so I had to discard a few pieces of the delicious batter. Surely you could leave extra seasoning to the customer?

Otherwise, a really, really lovely lunch, and yes we will for sure come back - and not leave it so long next time (long time before was because I moved to London then abroad).”

“Wonderful meal last night. Great atmosphere and service. The food was amazing and will definitely be back.”

“We just celebrated my mum’s 90th Birthday here . I can’t recommend the venue , ambience and staff highly enough. The team were so warm friendly and welcoming at each of our visits and super helpful with the planning . They really listened to every detail of what we wanted and catered exactly to our needs . The space was beautifully decorated and the food was outstanding- fresh , varied and plentiful . The service on the day was outstanding. I couldn’t have asked for a better celebration for my mum. This place is a gem and the team absolute diamonds . Thank you so much .”

“Had lunch here today at 12:45pm.
Really nice venue, food excellent and good value.
Waitress not very friendly and needs to work on being polite and at least look happy to be a part of the team.

Would visit again, hoping for better service next time.”
