Amazing pub - Edit
This place is my top recommendation for Nottingham. I loved the greek pizza with feta and tzatsiki. The fish burger was nice but not my favourite and I loves the Mac and cheese but the portion is quite small. We went back again because we loved it so much. The pie dish on Sunday was amazing with the cauliflower cheese (my favourite thing)and the wrap was great. Highly recommend going here.

Quiz Meal - Edit
Really liked my battered sausage, chips, beans dish and my friend had the tofish tacos which she liked. However, my other two friends had the seitan burger and the normal tacos and weren’t that keen, and neither was I after trying a bite. I love that they have a large vegan menu but I’m not sure I would go back to eat there. We went to go to the quiz but they had changed the start time and there was no communication about this online that we could see.
Read moreI was also sick later that night, I can’t blame the food here as none of my friends were unwell but I am also not sure what else would have triggered this.

Still open? - Edit
I tried this place a few months ago and it was excellent. Today it's closed even though HC app says open. I notice in reviews I'm not the first to have such experience here. I also phoned the HC listed number, but it's out of service. Is it still in business?
Read morePros: Variety/quality of food, Pub atmosphere , Friendly owner
Cons: Not open when it's timetabled to be.

Fantastic food - Edit
Visited on a weekend away. Nice atmosphere, dog friendly and excellent food. Particular highlights were the thyme and garlic fries and the tofish tacos, but it was all tasty. Would definitely eat here again if visiting Nottingham

Great food! - Edit
I visited on the day the cafe opened and several times since and it’s always a pleasure to visit. The food is cooked/prepared fresh, you can see them making your food at the counter. They have a good selection available on the menu with choices to satisfy everyone. The staff are welcoming, remembering me from my first visit and give a friendly welcome. Parking on street outside is a bonus (it is payable).

Decent quality - Edit
Nicely presented and good quality but the Sunday dinner was just not quite to my taste. I’ll try different food next time.

Great roasts - Edit
We had a great Sunday roast here recently which is likely to become a regular event. Hearty and healthy at the same time.

Completely disappointed - Edit
Always wanted to visit prickly pear. Instagram posts always show off amazing food and a friend of mine recommended as well.
Read moreBut the food we received was so poor. My bun wasn't toasted like it says on the menu. My seitan burger wasnt particularly tasty, the picked onions were way too overpowering. The BBQ sauce was so little compared to what the menu seemed to say it would be.
My partner's wrap was always average and again not toasted. Fries were ok.
The Mac and cheese as you can see in the photo was so dry, which was really off putting.
I'm honestly shocked at the meal. We spent about 45 quid which honestly was super disappointing for what we received.
I don't know if this was just an off day or what but sadly I won't be returning even though the staff who served us were lovely!

Beautiful brunch - Edit
I have been eating at Prickly Pear for years, but I think this has been my favourite dish! It was huge! My daughter had the facon pancakes, she isn't vegan but she said they were fab.

Fully vegan pub! - Edit
Fully vegan bar and kitchen, lovely atmosphere and great food!
Read moreI've eaten here loads and definitely recommend the tofish tacos! But today they had a 'specials' board up which is always good to check out (it was quesadilla today which was incredible) a lot of their food has a fresh homemade and 'healthy' feel while still satisfying the 'pub grub' itch 😁
Pros: Great food, Lots of options, Lovely staff

Chill vibes & great food :) - Edit
Pub with delish food - what do you want more. Rock vibes, friendly staff and awesome food.
Read moreHuge menu - it was so hard for me to pick an option but went with a blue cheese burger with caramelized onions and thyme & garlic fries. Fries hit the right spot (I was slightly hanging). Crispy, coated in spices covered in sauce. The burger was a total bang too. Something different to usual vegan burgers. Totally recommend if you look for chilled vibes, some nice bevies and of course - heavy, yummy food.
Oh and easy access to sockets! I was travelling, so to be able to charge my phone without bothering the staff was a massive help😄
Pros: Friendly staff, Chilled atmosphere, Rock music

Very good selection - Edit
My friend and I split the fish and chips and battered sausage and chips. Both of the dishes were delicious. They had lots more on the menu at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend going there, and I would love to try the other dishes.

So happy this place exists - Edit
Super lovely, all vegan pub. Staff is very friendly and treat both customers and each other with kindness. The food is amazing, everything is a little bit on the naughty side, so I'd love to have a slightly more wholesome, healthy option on the menu (but would it still be pub food if it was healthy? ;)). That's the only thing I'd change though! So happy that Prickly Pear's food gets to live on in the Golden Fleece 🙏

Menu was impressive but the food was lacking - Edit
Massive menu with lots of options for brunch, sides, bowls and burgers. Had the breakfast nachos which was very inventive and looked nice but was lacking in taste. Mac and cheese lacking in flavour too. My partner had the breakfast burger which was fine. The best thing we got was the battered sausage side!! It was very tasty and the curry sauce it came with was delicious. I would go back to try more things.

Dirty filthy room not fit to stay in! - Edit
I booked a room through Airbnb for my partner and I on Saturday June 10th. When we arrived there was a piece of cardboard replacing a smashed out window. The room was dusty and filthy and there was a stained mattress with no protector. It was so gross we didn’t stay and went home. The owner Marc has been nothing but rude refusing to refund me instead blaming us for not asking for the room to be cleaned. Who does that? Don’t stay there whatever you do.

Decent place - Edit
It’s a nice place with good food but I don’t think the food is the best, just okay imo. The burgers, Mac and cheese and kebab are nice, not amazing, but didn’t enjoy the nachos as much.
Read moreEdit: I had the jerk fries and they were amazing, not jerk but periperi, vegan breakfast was really good too. Breakfast burrito was mid. Mocha with oat milk is very good
