M&S in Nottingham

A very quiet, but perfectly pleasant, lunch from their set lunch menu. Service is good, food is fine but nothing that makes you go Wow! Access for disabled is tricky with a rough ground frontage and steps up to the main seating area. We were not warned of this despite telling them we had a wheelchair at the time of booking.

Originally wasn't going to have a Chinese meal, but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try, and in all honesty I'm glad I did, the food came piping hot and you could tell it was cooled fresh, the satay chicken sticks were absolutely gorgeous, they were fresh and juicy, normally when you order Chinese it's cooked twice, then for the second course I had lemon chicken with egg fried rice, I personally have never had lemon chicken but I really enjoyed it, it's chicken breast with batter and a light sugar coating, the sauce was like almost a thinned lemon curd sauce, it complemented it very well. The staff were very friendly and very polite, the restaurant was very well laid out and very well presented, the only thing I didn't like was the tables had a clear plastic sheet on them with a paper napkin on top, it's almost as if they think we're animals and make loads of mess. Other than that I would recommend this place for a nice celebratory meal.

Wow, this place is bad! Tasteless food, clearly frozen & reheated. Not worth its reputation.Paper tablecloths covering another thick plastic one which was unpleasant to sit at. Paper table cloth was removed after the main course then we asked if we wanted dessert!? Staff were lovely, but that’s the only redeeming factor.NOT RECOMMENDED

Lovely food at a reasonable price. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere. Could do with a refurbishment

Very much like entering a time warp and arriving at some point in the 1980s. Decor and general feel and look of the place is very old fashioned, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.A very ‘busy’ menu - pages of it. Hard to wade through and find what you actually want. Some very old fashioned choices like liqueur coffees and banana fritters lurk within.Service was very good, rapid and businesslike. The food was was also very good. Chopsticks are provided as your main tools for eating. I am told you have to ask for knives and forks. Trying them, my trousers got more food than my mouth.Very expensive, I thought. £132 for one set meal for two. One bog standard bottle of white wine, two bottles of beer, two glasses of house red, two liqueur coffees and one pudding. I would have guessed around £15 to £20 less.

We have been going to Mr Manns for decades. 5 generations of us at one time. Always exceptional food, the staff are very friendly and always professional. This is our go to restaurant for a nice evening out. Our latest visit was to celebrate an 80th and 17th Birthdays. Some of our extended family joined us which made 16 of us in total, no complaints at all. We had a lovely time. We look forward to our next visit.

Been tonight for Mother’s Day absolutely fantastic the waitress we had was brilliant, showed my son how to use chopsticks and he felt very accomplished. Food excellent and we’ve never had a bad meal there. Some people say overpriced but I say you pay for what you get, you want quality you pay for it, all staff are attentive and friendly and can have a laugh with them 10 out of 10 from us

All the waitors and waitresses are very friendly. The more experienced waiter helped with our gluten allergy as well. Food are delicious.

Really disappointed. Been looking forward to Saturday evening as my birthday treat and feel somewhat short changed! Arrived on time and table not ready, asked to wait outside to be called in, all of this I totally understand. Called in, shown to table then we waited.... and waited. Had to ask after 20 minutes for drinks and menu. Had to then wait another 20 minutes and ask again if we could order food. All in all, a huge, not cheap, disappointing experience.

Food is excellent. Service great a d lovely setting
