Shepherds Rest

TLDR: my GF and I wanted good unpretentious food in a nice place and that's what we got, with excellent value for money. The ribs I had from the specials board were excellent; the sauce was not too sweet as you often get, there was a decent amount of meat on the ribs and there were plenty of them. They were accompanied with good chips, coleslaw and salad, and for £16 which is pretty good these days (I've paid lots more for nowhere near as good). The pub itself is a nice old building with a garden, and dogs are welcome. It's just 5 minutes from J27 of the M1. We got there in 25 minutes from Nottingham NG5. Note, The Google says they are closed on Mondays, but if it's a bank holiday it's worth calling to check as they were open today (which is a Bank Holiday Monday)

Sunday dinner today x a bit more expensive than the average but I am always dissapointed with the average x this was absolutely 💯 can't really fault anything we'll worth the money. Massive plates and very very generous amounts of 5 meats available today.veg all fresh and cooked properly,nothing soggy or dry.we were all impressed and left saying we would be back

First time visiting during the day, only been for an evening meal before. There was 5 of us, we didn't book however this wasn't issue. Pub owner gave us the choice of where to sit & was prompt with drinks. Menu choice, though limited was varied & all sounded delicious. Food was freshly prepared & cooked, not long to wait & was very happily received. No complaints from any of us! Will definitely be going back for lunch
