November and December are both key months in the hospitality sector, with businesses normally experiencing an uptick in trade just before Christmas.
Times have never been tougher for the hospitality industry due to rising bills and decreasing footfall, which is why it’s important to support local businesses wherever possible.
Nottinghamshire is blessed with some truly amazing restaurants, but with many it’s a case of ‘use them or lose them’.
Picking somewhere for a meal out can sometimes be a tricky task, particularly if you’re new to the area or don’t eat out often.
Each month, OpenTable analyses nearly 500,000 new global diner reviews from the past month to produce a guide to the most-booked restaurants in a certain town, city or region.
The guide uses real-time bookings and reviews to let diners know which restaurants are attracting the most customers at any given time.
OpenTable’s most recent guide was updated on October 5, providing diners with a useful snapshot of what restaurants are attracting the most bookings going into November.
Here are the most-booked Nottinghamshire restaurants going into November 2025:
