About
Founded in 1907, and with a tip of the hat to the prohibition era, Nottinghams Restaurant offers exceptional California Cuisine.
Complete with a gangster-era car parked out front, Nottinghams Restaurant is in the Lake Village section of Big Bear Lake. Diners can expect to feast on comfort food centered around steaks, burgers, seafood, salads, and gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Its central location makes combining a meal with any of the area's landmarks and activities simple. After touring the Big Bear Solar Observatory, discuss your takeaways over a comforting meal. Or have a celebratory dinner after a day with Big Bear Off-Road Experience.
