Hi,
I am trying to organise an afternoon meal/buffet for 15 family members for a Saturday afternoon in Nottingham. Preferably centre or not far from it.
I like the idea of a pub sort of setting. Does anyone have any ideas of pubs etc that could accomodate us and, of course, with good food and beer and pleasant surroundings.

In the evening we would like to find a place close to Park Plaza Hotel that may put on a sort of 'finger buffet' for the group.

I would appreciate any help at all -- looking for a saturday in late september.

regards, pete

You could ask The Bell on Market Square. They have a lot of small rooms and may hire them out to groups.

Mel,
Many thanks for that. I have emailed the pub and am now waiting for a reply.

Once again, thanks.

Pete

The Bell is nice, we had a big group in a room at the top for traditional Sunday lunch once, and they have good beer.
More recently we had a lunch at The Orange Tree, Shakespere Street, which is quite a modern pub, but still reasonable, I had a huge salad for about £5.
If you want to go somewhere really unusual and local to Nottingham there's the Trip to Jerusalem, a very old pub near the castle. Good beer and ales.
As you seem to be doing anyway a phone call to the pubs would help, as you know Saturdays are busy and they may need a booking.
Shimla Pinks in Hockley is a good Indian place.
The Malt Cross is an unusual setting, in a small old theatre, they do light lunches, good coffee and teas.
At the moment I can't think of buffet type places. Does your hotel do one for dinner?

Thanks a lot for that. I have managed to have a look at those places on the net. Looks good to me. Thanks

Anyone have any idea what the Welbeck Hotel is like for food etc.
