Magical
My mums always wanted to have afternoon tea at Josephine’s. I booked it for the Thursday as it was her birthday on the Friday and Mother’s Day on the Sunday. It was the most perfect time to visit. It was a surprise for her. She didn’t know she was going until we stood outside. The magic started there!! Beautifully decorated, like stepping back in time.The attention to detail in the decor,the flowers around the windows and the tables was beautiful.The service was perfect. Smiling faces, kind,helpful and respectful.Food was outstanding.The scroll was a lovely touch and a beautiful keepsake.It wasn’t just about a afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday, it was an amazing experience that my mum will be talking about for a very long time. We will definitely be back for afternoon tea and to try the main menu
Still way better than the Ivy
If you want proper genuine tasty food, proper portions and above all, proper service then Josephine’s sets the bar. Went to the Ivy recently to see what the fuss was about and left there poorer, hungry and disappointed. I cannot understate the importance and difference of an independent over these tacky brands that rely on a name. It’s really important you guys still maintain the high standards you have – and thankfully if anything you’re even better. Loving the new decor you’re slowly bringing in and the new dishes are fantastic – the beef cobbler is probably the best beef dish in Nottingham. Keep it up!

Lovely
Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. Had a really fantastic lunch in a beautiful setting. (Food: 5 / 5, Service: 5 / 5, Ambience: 5 / 5)
We have an advanced feedback system for every single booking that invites customers to let us know about their experience.
These responses and the comments within them matter more than social media reviews on Google or Tripadvisor. This enables us to identify any issues immediately or make changes based on customer views. We’ve changed or tweaked some dishes based on this system. That’s why we continually rate high to the people that matter – YOU.
We don’t seek awards, we’re not bothered by rosettes or stars and we don’t advertise. Everything about Josephine’s is organic word of mouth. If you love us you’ll talk about us, that’s the best reward.

Enjoy freshly homemade dishes
Although we make a lot of things ourselves, we have no problem buying in the best of the best. From top quality pies and quiches, to Smoked Wiltshire Ham or proper butchery items. Pies made by a small independent family producer and of course our own dishes made on our premises. Josephine’s is about the best traditional dishes presented and served in a classic style.
