Nothing beats a long weekend and there is no better place to head then a beer garden or two to soak up the May sun. Okay, so there might not be much of it but we can dream. This weekend, while its expected to be bad weather, should be busy for pubs with the Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, pub owners across Nottingham are expecting to be busy.
So if you haven’t quite decided where you’ll be drinking, here are some of our favourites
1. The Reindeer, in Hoveringham will be celebrating as part of their village on Sunday 7th May with manager Alex expecting “a hungover bank holiday Monday” in the village. There will be a variety of activities to get involved in, such as a scare crow competition, a treasure hunt and village band. They will be serving Hot dogs and burgers on the cricket ground behind them, with a sheltered marquee space.

2. Serving jugs of cocktails and with 2-4-1 deals The Loxley are celebrating all weekend, starting from Saturday 6th May – Monday 8th. They will be serving a coronation ale specifically for the event and have invited a DJ for the Saturday. There’s no need to book, however they are expecting to be busy, so if you’re arriving with a large group of people be sure to reserve a table to save you waiting around.

4. Next door to Thackerys Lane Recreation Ground, The Vale is putting on a carvery breakfast at 10.30 for its customers. Cathy the manager wants the pub to have “options for everyone’ whether you decide to celebrate the occasion or not. There will be one television screening the event whilst the rest of the pub will remain normal, for some of her regulars who would prefer just to chat with one another.
