Perkins Bar & Bistro

About

Perkins Bar & Bistro sits in the heart of Plumtree, tucked into the historic back‑room of a former Victorian railway station. The building’s original timber beams and brick façade have been lovingly preserved, creating a warm, country‑bistro ambience that feels both timeless and instantly welcoming. The culinary focus is on classic British fare made with a modern twist. Drawing on local produce, the kitchen crafts everything in‑house—from a signature smoked salmon delicacy to freshly baked bread and handmade ice‑cream. Seasonal menus, a multi‑course prix‑fixe and festive Christmas celebrations keep the dining experience lively and ever‑evolving. Beyond the food, the venue offers a relaxed social space for families, friends and colleagues. The main bar area boasts brass light fittings and reclaimed timber tables, while the terrace provides an open‑air setting with views of the surrounding Nottinghamshire countryside. Whether you stop for a quick lunch over the weekend, an intimate dinner or a take‑away, Perkins delivers quality, flavour and a genuine sense of community. The venue also hosts regular events, including live music and themed evenings, and offers a dedicated takeaway service for busy days. Visitors are encouraged to book in advance during peak periods, though perfect timing is rarely required thanks to the warm, family‑friendly atmosphere that makes Perkins a staple in the local culinary map.
