Scruffy’s

Loved this place, can’t believe it’s closed!

This place is called Scruffy’s for a reason, so you can’t really expect more than the very rustic setting and straightforward menu on offer. Servings are generous and the service is friendly, not a place for sophisticates but a fun ‘bit of rough’ night out.

Tasty food, rustic setting
Large pine scrub top tables and large wooden chairs, dark lighting.
Food is good hearty large portions, good variety of specials.
The thai fihcakes were really nice and the steak juicy and a nice size, good for groups or christmas parties.

Filthy toilets with urine all over the floor and even worse looking kitchen with cardboard as flooring — you can see into it from the gents! Diverse menu but food is just heated-​up pre-​cooked garbage. My burger stank like it came from said toilets and the chips were just soggy, cold and greasy. Will never go there again if I can help it.

Mmm I remember this place from when I was a student — since then it has been extended but still serves the same yummy food. It’s rustic, inexpensive and has a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Lenton.

Good food and beer, between £8 and £10 for a mains. Good music too and the staff are friendly.

This restaurant is as its described — it is not dirty but it is scruffy in that it has mismatched furniture and the floor is rustic wooden flooring — the specials are graffited onto the walls and knives and forks are in a glass on table — not set out.
The food is highly recommended — Mussels and fillet steak. in fact all the food and the puds are lovely.
The toilets are querky and there are horoscopes written on the wall or toilet door for you to read!
When you’ve eaten have a drink in the bar.
I cannot recommend enough to you to go and give it A try!
