The Heart at Ruddington

Refresh Incoming…..

It’s time to give the front of the pub a bit of a facelift and create a nicer space to sit with your pint or gin & tonic.

You may be aware that a planning application was made to create a raised decking area to the front of the pub - the application is still in, but the project has been put on hold in favour of a ‘lighter touch’ change.

We’ll be flattening the surface with a decorative resin and adding in some planter boxes all around the front area - you’ll still be able to access the front door through the improved seating area mind you :-)

Works ongoing this week, the front door might be out of use at times but we are very much open for business as usual 🍻

We’ll be adding some much nicer furniture to the space soon enough.

Watch this space for updates on the rear garden and decking as we get them!

we had such a great time with you all over the World Cup that we wanted to keep the good vibes rolling, premier league here we come🤪

from today we finally have sky sports available on the TVs, but don’t worry, we’re still gonna be the same cosy pub you’ve come to know and love

games will be showing in the back rooms for anyone who wants to watch, and any big fixtures we’ll put on without the sound in the main pub✌🏻

Ever in Radcliffe? Go see our new baby brother from 3rd September!

The Chestnut is coming back, better than ever.

Radcliffe-on-Trent’s finest village boozer is reopening its doors on Thursday 3rd September, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you back in.

We know how much this pub means to this village, and we’re not here to change what makes it special.

We’re here to bring it back to life with the things that matter most: good b**r, good times, and good people.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:
A proper warm, welcoming atmosphere
5 cask lines on, always
A revamped w**e range and a short but excellent cocktail list
Quality bar snacks, and a fantastic playlist
Great hospitality, great events, and a team that genuinely loves this trade
The ChesnutRewards card - collect 10 stamps, get a free pint

It’s such a pretty pub that not a huge amount will look different at first glance, but as the weeks progress a few of our touches will make it even better.

Clint & Jamie are the team behind Fellows Morton & Clayton in Nottingham and The Heart at Ruddington, and we’re bringing that same care and craft straight to the heart of Radcliffe-on-Trent. A familiar face will be running the pub day to day and taking care of you all, and we’re on the lookout for a few excellent people to join the team, drop us a DM if you’re our kind of person (Over 18s only, sorry! Must be able to serve alcohol unsupervised).

Doors open: Thursday 3rd September
Mon–Thurs: 3pm–11pm
Fri–Sun: 12pm–11pm

See you at the bar 🍺

PUP OF THE MONTH🐶

We’ve got darling Axel as our pup of the month, he’s recently become a big brother so we think he deserves all the love!!

Axel is a sweet heart, always joining girls night, would definitely smash a glass of savvy b! Or he’s fully curled up by the fire or getting comfy outside. He will refuse to walk in the rain, like the king he is and he’s been coming in since we reopened back in Feb, a true fanboy

We love axel💕

Please tag us in your pups enjoying the pub so we can get some inspo for the next pup of the month🥰
