If you’re searching for a great pub in Nottingham with proper food, real ale, and a genuine community feel, look no further than The Gedling Inn on Main Road in Gedling. Whether you’re a local resident or visiting the east side of Nottingham for the first time, we’d love to be your go-to spot for great food, cold drinks, and good company.

A Pub with Deep Roots in Gedling

The building that is now The Gedling Inn has been welcoming drinkers and diners for well over 150 years. Records show it operating as a fully licensed establishment as far back as 1855, and for much of its history it was known locally as The Cheggo a nickname that still raises a smile among long-time Gedling residents.

Formerly trading as the Chesterfield Arms, the pub was lovingly refurbished and relaunched as The Gedling Inn, with a clear mission: to put a great independent local pub back at the heart of the Gedling community. That commitment shows in everything we do.

Food That Goes Beyond Pub Grub

One of the things we’re most proud of at The Gedling Inn is our menu. Forget stodgy, unremarkable pub food  our kitchen serves up a broad range of freshly prepared dishes that genuinely surprise people.

From hearty bar snacks to full restaurant-style meals, there’s something for every appetite and occasion:

  • Quality burgers, mains, and seasonal dishes  made with locally sourced ingredients wherever possible
  • Famous Sunday roasts  proper homemade Sunday lunches using local suppliers, available every week
  • A dedicated children’s menu  including our hugely popular design your own pizza option, making us a genuinely family-friendly pub

Tables fill up quickly for our Sunday roast and evening sittings, so booking ahead is always a good idea.

Drinks to Suit Every Taste

Behind the bar, you’ll find a well-stocked range of drinks to suit all tastes. We serve a selection of real ales — including Castle Rock Harvest Pale, a fantastic local session pale ale  alongside familiar favourites, craft options, and a curated wine list. Whether you’re after a pint of something hoppy or a glass of something crisp, we’ve got you covered.
