Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham

Quirky little pub steeped in history. Good selection of ales. Virtually next door to Nottingham Castle.

I booked a private area for friends and family the night before my wedding. The pub was fantastic. The area reserved was wonderful and the staff had gone the extra mile to decorate it fabulously. The drink, food and service were all first class. Everyone had a wonderful time.

It is a very old pub and very interesting to visit, It was horrifically busy when we went, and I had to force my way through the crowd to get out! I would highly recommend visiting if you're in Nottingham as it's a good rest spot after looking at the castle. Might be best to go during the week rather than a weekend due to the crowds.

Definitely a must to go for a drink to take in the history and feel of the place - amazing pub but definitely not for the food and ambiance of staff etc.

It was lovely. Very busy and didn't book a table. The upstairs was reserved for a christmas party so limited space but the staff was very helpful and cheerful. It was very cosy when we got seated and felt the historic ambience of the place. The pints were really nice that we ordered and the food didn't take long to come. The food was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Very old pub. We ate at a quiet time. Glad we visited

Let's hope they don't turn this into a Wetherspoons

Excellent, great food & drinks!

Fantastic place. We had a lot of fun here.

We were visiting Nottingham for shopping and booked Ye Olde Trip as we have been in the past and really enjoy the building and atmosphere. We had lunch which was excellent. There was a wide selection of beers, spirits and wines to enjoy which we certainly did. We ordered lunch which came speedily and the food was excellent. The staff were excellent.

We popped in for a beer . what a great little place . friendly staff . good food and a Fire .. :D

Always been a great bar and lots of history here and nearby

Lovely historical pub, a must visit when in Nottingham

Amazing food, great service and a cosy pub!

This wonderful Inn has been on my "Bucket List" for quite some time And it was truly worth the wait ...!! Lovely olde place, lovely staff and wonderful atmosphere...!! Thank You 😊

A visit to Nottingham is incomplete until you spend some time in the Trip! Can’t recommend highly enough. The history, the atmosphere and the experience is unmissable!

Popped in for a quick drink. As we were heading back to brum. Welcomed by a lovely member of staff. She was very pleasant and very helpful when I wanted to know about local Ales / Bitters. It was very busy so my son and I sat near the back door It is very fascinating to be in such an ald pub with original features and bank notes on the ceiling from all over the world I had a point of trip, and my son had a soft drink cost total of £8.50 Will deffo come back again

It's almost exactly 50 years since I was last here, and it hasn't changed a bit! A lovely pint of Olde Trip and a great atmosphere. Didn't get a chance to eat, so I can't comment on the food.

Meal was lovely, great service and all next to an cozy open fire , proper pub

Drove 100miles to visit my grandaughter (@Nottingham Trent Univ’). Ladies on reception, were wonderful & really helpful+ to help me get parked (@Q/car park). We went for an evening meal there, & again Di if staff were great-my Grandaughter is Celiac & he advised her about what to have & what to avoid. Only drawback is; their website show good discounts for accommodation, but I was charged £120 for a double room, even though I asked for a single. May look elsewhere on my visit there?

Lovely busy, very old pub, but sadly the food is so mediocre. Had Sunday lunch here and apart from the home made Yorkshire pudding can't rate any other component of it high. Mean portion of weak, watery gravy, lackluster roast potatoes, apart from being very anaemic were dry. What's going on with the cabbage! Carrot rings not batons, cauliflower cheese? Don't know what happened to the sauce. Biggest disappointment was the mean portion of chewy beef. Won't eat here again but a great venue and drink, such a shame because we walked by all the food from around the world on the Christmas markets. Sorry chef but you can't cook a good old fashioned Sunday roast

Tried to book a table by their website here on sat 30th November was emailed told they don't do bookings on a Saturday. However next day I got standardised email saying basically I didn't turn up.?? We did visit the pub on our day trip to Nottingham but couldn't get through the door it was so busy. Shame.

Beautiful place and excellent beers.

I have been meaning to visit this place each time I've been to Nottingham. It is always busy and this was no exception. It took some time to be served and we had to sit outside in the rain but that was simply down to how busy it was. Great story behind this place being advertised outside and through chit chat with a couple who sat on the table with us. Very comfortable environment.

One of the coolest places in Nottingham. Extra cool of you're a geologist

Great place , great ales good service.

Good banter with staff and patrons.

Got charged £8.30 for a one pint of coke and one lemonade by a grumpy barman. Only noticed when checking my bank while walking down the road later. Thought I must have imagined it when glancing £8.30 on the card machine. Thanks for that! Was excited to show my partner the pub on a brief lunchtime visit but left feeling quite ripped off!

El Ye Olde Trip a Jerusalén es un pub emblemático. Como tal siempre que tenemos visitantes que no han estado previamente tratamos de construir en una visita al itinerario. Visitar se siente como ser parte de la historia, dada su antigüedad y ubicación. La cerveza YoTTJ es de primera clase lo que se suma a la experiencia.

Excellent Sunday lunch had the steak pie delicious,very busy pub brilliant staff great friendly service will definitely be back properly best to book venue very busy.

Great little pub with history. Friendly bar staff

Always nice to come back to my home town

Probably the oldest pub in England. A unique atmosphere as the pub is located in a rock beneath Nottingham Castle. Here you can really experience history. 😁 and the food is really good.

Amazing pub with great history. So many nooks and crannies - food was nice and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and drink, in lovely surroundings.

Great food choices and festive dishes available

What an amazing place to go have a drink and see history first hand. Service was awesome and drinks on point. Food should have been left in the 11th century because that’s where it belongs. I only had the roast so can’t judge the whole menu but this is Englands national dish you would think they would get that right. Go check out the castle afterwards it was great.

Very friendly staff, food was delicious and the room we sit was like sitting in the cave. We were enjoyed our dinner and local bear.

It deserves to be seen and despite being very characteristic it maintains the authenticity of the English pub. Average prices

So much history and character. Great stop for a quick drink.

This is where I drank real ginger beer for the first time. The place is really cozy, as expected. The surrounding area is also luxurious, it has a real medieval atmosphere. I love it. After a pint of beer, it is worth visiting the castle a few hundred meters away.

The oldest pub in England, located at the foot of Nottingham Castle. As expected, an extremely attractive pub, unfortunately the food is mediocre and the service also normal. Nice to visit for a drink and dinner, I wouldn't do it again anytime soon

Little bit cold in places but that was due to the doors and windows been open in some areas.Time for a fire in November maybe?

This place is so cool. It's dug into the base of the holl the castle sits on. Small seating areas, but great atmosphere and history.

Popped in for a drink. Lovely welcome from staff and other customers. It's definitely worth a visit to this very old pub near the Castle.

Great to visit the Trip..probably last here 50+ years ago! Great service 👏

This is a gem, and a pub to put on your map of pub crawls and ale trails alike if you haven't already; great selection of beer (for a green king especially), nice menu, interior that gives a good ol' tavern feel to it, and as a bit of a unique element, a game of horn 🐮 (you can find out more inside...). 5 stars, this place was great.

Highly recommended. Good atmosphere, beautiful building and a nice location.

Visiting the Old Trip to Jerusalem feels like stepping into a living history book. The blend of ancient rock walls and warm, inviting atmosphere creates a truly unique vibe. I particularly enjoyed the cozy nooks perfect for a quiet pint. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making recommendations that enhanced my experience. Don’t miss the chance to explore the hidden corners of this gem—there’s a story in every shadow. A must-visit for anyone looking to soak in Nottingham’s rich heritage!

Fantastic ancient pub but gets very busy at times

We didn't eat here but stopped in on a touristy trip and it didn't disappoint. It was quaint and cosy and staff were lovely. We didn't eat but the menu looks delicious and the food smelled really good!

Oldest pub, good food, very nice to sit in a kind of cave, very nice service

Such an unforgettable experience. Great food, ambiance, history.

A really incredible place. Very friendly staff, tasty food and the building is fantastic. Thank you for the wonderful time ☺️

We never ate, but it's a standard Greene King food offering. It's a lovely, atmospheric and rambling pub. Ideal for losing yourself in a book or sitting to people watch. Lots of tourists and a few locals too.

Great service! Varied options of cold beer and very delicious food. Very special place, well maintained and with a pleasant atmosphere. It was an unforgettable experience and I really want to be able to return one day. Thank you for the opportunity!

Sat outside and enjoyed a drink in the friendly atmosphere

Great place! Such a privilege to have a beer here :) loved it. Nice old atmosphere, good beer, good food. Not too pricey.

The staff that served me was rude and dismissive. I got an eye roll for saying (politely) that's enough ice please. I also asked for the mixer not to fill the glass and was greeted with the same attitude, and the drink full to the top. £14 for a single and a double and the service was appalling. If you don't like people, don't work in hospitality. The glass collector was lovely and smiley

Beautiful old pub, nice place to meet friends..

Lovely pub - we really liked the twists made to the dishes on offer (such as their own special burger). Food was delicious and service great!

Brilliant place. Like walking right into the old world. You can feel the history, and the Cask Ale is worth the trip alone.

This pub is a must-see when visiting Nottingham. Have a pint or two and enjoy this place built as (or inside) a cave... or something like that..

Great historic pub,ok selection of beers,a bit like drinking in a cave, good place.

We have been here before and we really enjoyed it. However went for Sunday lunch and we were disappointed. The Sunday roast with beef needs rethinking. The beef was dry, the roast potatoes were not good and the cabbage was just wrong. A quarter of a cabbage boiled and the flame grilled on the end isn’t what I want. Also the cauliflower cheese was disappointing. The 3 roast potatoes were a disappointment. They looked and tasted like frozen ones. I so hope that they weren’t. Not sure I’ll be back to the Sunday roast again.

Went for Sunday roast . Very expensive and not that special at all£15

I’d give the atmosphere a ten star if I could. What cool history and unique place. Service was great and so was the food! Definitely will come here again if I’m in the area.

Quirky and atmospheric, very popular so can be busy. Could Def while away a few hours. Nice green on the front to sit on too ☺️

Very cool place with interesting history 🏰 Always visit when in Nottingham

Great and authentic. Did feel like the food was a bit over seasoned

Was so bissy but would have been very nice for people to be polite..as coming from Nottingham born and bred . Visitors did not have manners .. They just pushed passed me .. What's the world's coming to

You can feel the history when you enter this old pub. Loads of atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is good but I'd probably go for something different from the house burger next time. The chips were very good and the duck that my mate had looked nice. Well worth a visit but probably best to book a table.

100% check this place out. Bartenders were nice, outside tables were good. Plan to hangout outside. Inside, its a bit musty.

Excellent food at a historic pub. Hard to beat. I would highly recommend stopping by for a meal or at least a drink. Make sure to walk around and read the placards.

Pub from before 1200! The food is typical English. The pie or the fish and chips are recommended, although if you want something different and don't know what to try, ask the waiters. They are very friendly. The interior of the place is curious, it is supported on the stone of the wall.

Second time visiting but this time alone while staying in a hotel the night prior to a conference. I returned because I enjoyed my last group visit and it was familiar to me. First time eating. Found a table as you need the number for orders at the bar. Steak and chips were both really tasty cooked as requested! Gravy charged separately. Lively atmosphere but didn't spoil eating. Rooms for all tastes. Steeped in history. Cosy upstairs, definitely haunted right at the top room, and I think I have another review on a year ago about the cursed galleon in a glass case. Has outdoor areas, and nooks. I would not recommend for people who cannot climb stairs for seating if downstairs was full. Popular. Thanks!

What’s not to like in a quintessentially English pub. Great atmosphere and decor is suitably shabby as it should be. No modernisation to spoil it. Food and drink good. If I was to say to a visitor to Britain what a traditional pub is like, this would be it.

A very nice experience. For me third visit.

A very quirky venue - given the age of the building, it's no surprise that tall people have to stoop a lot! The food is delicious - I recommend the pie. Staff are friendly and attentive. Will certainly come here again on my next visit to Nottingham.

Brilliant pub always love visiting this pub when I visit Nottingham 😀

The gentleman behind the bar was very friendly as was the young lady who took our food order. 2 middle age guys having a catch up with a very nice "brown ale" in very quaint surroundings. Felt historic and made this little Aussie happy. Food was simple pub nibbles cooked well and not greasy. For ye old pub it ticked all the boxes.

Just an amazing pub, excellent food and drink. A real must visit 😁

A wonderful place where history is felt. Friendly service and really good beer.

We ordered a plate of fish and chips which was very delicious. The architecture of the place is like a fairy tale. Super recommended to live a typical English pub experience!

Didn't eat there but a must visit if in Nottingham, full of history. Good selection of beers.

Lovely pub good selection of beer.

It was a treat to dine in a legendary atmosphere.

Amazing place. Must visit if you're in Nottingham

Really good service here. The guy knew who I was the minute I arrived. Treated me like I was a regular customer not just a tourist. Top notch food too. Tried to leave a tip but had no cash. Please bring cash in order to tip.

Quirky historic pub. Excellent.

Great little pub, great selection of beers always changing, great food, always friendly atmosphere.

If you are visiting Nottingham, this should be on your list of places to see, and maybe have a cheeky pint while you are at it or something to bite. Wonderfull historical place full of character and atmosphere

Beautiful historic inn, enjoyed great beer in the caves which date back to 1070AD

Awesome and impressive place. Tasty Burger, fish and chips, terrific beer.

Busy and very well served by staff that are moving to handle the visitors, regulars ,tourists and hangers in. This space is small and you should plan ahead if you want to sit and eat and if you do it's worth it. The pub is amazing and stacked with both history and great atmosphere for a spot you should stop off at in Nottingham

Great old pub to visit, didn't have any food but from what I've been told its definitely worth a try.

Greeted the barman with a friendly “hello, how are you” when I arrived at the bar. He completely ignored me. All the tables were full, 40+ mins wait on food, food on the floor, and loud drunks shouting about politics in the bar. Can be great in here but not a safe bet for locals as too unpredictable what experience you will be met with.

Lovely staff and beautiful pub food was great very clean and friendly definitely come back recommend the fish and chips

An amazing experience visiting this old pub. Been here many times in the past and always a good venue for beer and atmosphere.

We visited the trip on Saturday for the first time with an uncle who was visiting from Belfast. The staff we encountered were very friendly, the building is amazing with lots of interesting things to look it, it was busy so we didn't really get a chance to have a good look around, but it gives us an excuse to visit again. We ordered fish and chips, wow! The portion was generous, the chips were really nice and the fish was beautiful, I can't wait to have it again.
