LizzieM 9,497 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Anyone been into the new Micropub on Mansfield Road, Carrington? We popped in there this evening, it's a nice cosy place (only seats about 20 people), bit like a cafe, selling 4 different real ales and a red and white wine. Two of the guys who own it were there and were very welcoming. It's so close to home it might have to be our new local !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Whats it called Lizzie? Was it originally a pub? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'd assume it's called "Doctors orders" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sorry missed the heading... is this an older pub? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm only guessing Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 It was a chemist, Radfordred commented on it a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 That accounts for the name then. Anyone comment on the food here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 They don't do food, nor Sky Sports. Just a cosy place for a pint or few and yes it was a pharmacy and has been an empty shop for a couple of years so it's good to see these chaps taking a chance with a new venture 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Mentioned it here a little while ago: http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8472&&page=5 It's an interesting concept and one that will become more widespread I think. I've spoken to friends who have visited Doctors Orders and they liked it. I like the idea of it but won't be visiting as they only serve real ale and cider I understand. I left that behind in the Wagon & Horses in Redhill about 1977! I hope it goes well and it will be a fine complement to The Gladstone, not far away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Mentioned it here a little while ago: http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8472&&page=5 It's actually on the next page of that thread Stu, post #109 And this is what it was in an earlier life http://goo.gl/maps/3KdcD Any pub which doesn't have Sky Sports has to be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Doctors Orders has had a facelift in the past week. They opened again today and I wondered if I was in the same place when I walked in! The business was taken over last December by Magpie Brewery and now they've put their own stamp on the place. It's very nice and cosy, a bit bigger area for the customers now as the barrels have been moved down to the cellar. Very close to home so it will continue to be our local ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi Lizzie was in that area on Fridat night and had every intention on going in but Wendy spotted it was closed and we went to the Gladstone instead Had a really good night In there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 You might be interested in trying Beer Dock (another micro-pub) too. It's in the old Nat West Bank in Sherwood. They have 4 or 5 draught ales and around 240 bottled beers and ciders to try plus they have an off-licence too. Very friendly and knowledeable staff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 We've been in the Beer Dock but didn't manage to have a drink. It was the opening night, the other week, and we walked in at 7.58 pm and they wouldn't serve us. We had no idea the place closed at 8 pm. Not sure if that is the norm for every evening but haven't bothered to go again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 They were only allowed an 8 o'clock licence for the first month because Sherwood has such a bad name with the licensing magistrates so they had to be squeaky clean before re-applying. Now open till 11. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 #16. Sherwood has a bad name? Is Sherwood the new Bulwell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Sherwood was fine until we moved out ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
