Smack Jack Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I have just returned from what I can honestly say was the best pub lunch I have ever had. I must admit I have been fancying a decent pub lunch for ages and been let down every time I've tried (most recently by The Old Horns at Bradfield that was badly cooked frozen junk). Anyway I have just been with my OH and parents to The Nags Head at Loxley and come away extremely impressed. Standard pub fare like Mixed Grill, Lasagne etc but all home cooked. No frozen Windsor Foods junk. I had a mixed grill which was all fresh meat and even the chips and onion rings were home made, the onion rings being so tasty by the way. My OH had lasagne, tasted really good and my parents had Ham and Chips and again it was home made chips and really nice ham. I also had my first sample of Our Cow Molly for dessert (Mint Choc Chip) which I have to say was literally mint. So Nice! Anyway gushing over I just had to recommend because its so long since I actually went to a pub and got a proper in house cooked affair that was genuinely nice. I shall be back.....

The last time I was there I had rabbit pie, it was fantastic. It's a great place to have some cracking grub and beer after a walk around Damflask.

Micky D Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 How long have you been working there or known the owners for? What are you suggesting, that I'm some sort of Bradfield 'plant' I've been drinking there, usually in the summer, for over 25 years. It's a pleasant 5 mile return walk from my house, hence the summer visits. Since Bradfield took it over, the beer has improved no end. Hardly surprising when it's gone from 1 cask ale that was Kimberley to 6 cask ales as a 'brewery tap'. I now regularly have a walk out there at all times of the year, the last time being Boxing Day afternoon. The food has been hit and miss since I've been going in. Since Bradfield Brewery took the pub the food has always been superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozafeen Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Try the pie next time, delish whatever the variety You forgot to mention the superb Bradfield Brewery cask ales. Seconded! Both the Nags and The Plough in Bradfield are owned by the BB people and both do the awesome pies (with Hendo's available as standard). I've heard very good things about their curries as well but can never resist ordering pie, even if it's only the small portion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsexydoug Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 to be honest i think the op lost a lot of people when he said "most recently by The Old Horns at Bradfield that was badly cooked frozen junk" anyone who goes in the old horns expects not just good food but great food, and ive NEVER been dissapointed, and i suspect many people know the reputation and have tried it for themselves and have been impressed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smack Jack Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 The Horns is junk. Its freezer food cooked by teenagers but that wasnt really my point nor do I want to slate it - I enjoyed the view there and the service was good. I dont know or work for anyone at the Nags Head and am in fact in the Motor Trade. I didnt like the horns food much. Opinion aside it is undisputedly freezer fare in there and maybe I caught an off day but I didnt think it was good. The Nags was home cooked food of a high quality. May not be to everyones taste that but to me thats what I want from a pub lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
