Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham

A member of our group has heard this was the oldest inn/pub so we stopped by for a quick pint. The place was BUSY even in the middle of the day. Plenty of seating outside on picnic benches if you can handle the cold (nothing a bunch of Canadians can't stomach 🇨🇦). Had my first cask ale ever here. I was pleasantly surprised, it was pretty good and it went down easier without as much carbonation! If you're into places that have a ton of history, definitely come check this place out!

Dropped in here for something to eat , on a cold day. today. Don't expect central heating though...that would spoil the place. Last time I was here was about 45 + years ago. It's still a great place to visit..the ale , the food , the staff and the cheerful service they provide, is all terrific. Recommended..but it's very popular, so like we did, go on a weekday.With it's genuinely unique atmosphere and surroundings, it's not to be missed!

A lovely place to visit definitely I am willing to come back. Very friendly staff The person whose service impressed me and my friends is Liam! His approach to the customer is at the highest possible level. A very valuable person for the team. I spent a nice evening, I recommend to everyone!

Very busy friendly staff quick service great home made food

Authentic feel of the cave however nice crowd, cheerful people. Lovely ambience. Nice menu fresh fries and sharer wings are too big to share 😊

Visited the oldest pub today and loved the food at atmosphere. Very tight squeeze into the rooms but they've done their best with the size. Quirky bar area with funny signs and lots of historical information. Rooms are left to their original plaster and it is cool in there as there's no heating, but they do provide blankets etc. Reasonable prices, good choice of menu too.

Wonderful atmosphere of the pub ♥️

Well worth a visit if you visit Nottingham

100%. Great place. Good selection of craft beers. Food excellent

Like a trip to the past!! Lovely!!

Very good food and good football

Mw liked it a lot, it is a one-of-a-kind pub. Very small but cozy. One can imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago. The burger was good and the chips could have been more generous, still pretty tasty. I recommend going to have a few beers and go with friends to chat and spend time, in summer it must be very good since it has a patio.

It is alright but it is not the oldest pub in England, that's just a load of bull to try and fool tourists.

Be prepared to not get in. But if you do it's an amazing atmosphere and beer very good.

Prices are stupid won't go back £14 pint and glass of wine, £10 everywhere else

Every year I pass through Nottingham to eat at Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem. Eating in a magical place where the English knights left for the first crusades, under Nottingham Castle is priceless. Fish and chips and a craft beer are my habit. Friendly and quick service. In short, I will return again next year

It's a really nice place and pet friendly, food is also very delicious especially the hash duck! Recommended to go with your fur baby.

Undoubtedly a very old pub and possibly the oldest one ever anywhere. Most importantly it is a Proper Pub. Beer is well looked after and everything just feels right. The House Burger is great 👍

I heard it's the oldest Inn in England so I dropped by for two pints after the Benue Books and Arts Festival at the Nottingham library. Interesting to see the structure still looking good after such a long time. I love the artifacts inside the pub. I sat in the garden and took in the scenic beauty.

A must do visit when in Nottingham. Tables free on a Saturday afternoon.

Great pub, good service, nice food and a lovely atmosphere.

What a treat! Devon crab and squid. Good beer selection :)

Lovely old pub. It's worth a visit for the history alone .

Nice old pub. Very quirky inside. Beer wasn’t quite right though. May have been because it was early. Be nice in summer

The oldest pub in England and by far one of the most interesting buildings out there! Steeped in history from 1189 and now owned by Greene King, this pub still retains an independent feel to it & has a decent selection of real ales on the bar. We only had a cheese toasty light bite for lunch but it was an ample size and was delicious. Being built into a rock face does make it quite dark inside and the lighting is fairly dim, but this is what gives it the authentic ‘olde worlde’ feel about the place. Definitely well worth a visit when you’re in Nottingham!

The trip is a great place to go to have a drink in Nottingham with great service.

Great little place with a lot of history. Very busy but that's a good sign of it's popularity.

Quirky small pub at the foot of a cliff under the castle, part of the pub is under the cliff in caves or carved out of the rock. Super choice of beers with plenty of guest beers making this worthwhile. The atmosphere is great and friendly with lots of inquisitive customers! Well with a visit

Had a drink after doing the treasure trail, well worth calling

Only went in for a drink this time 😉

Nottingham's claim to the oldest pub in England. Worth popping in to see the interesting layout of a pub set into a cave. It's a Greene King, so expect standard Greene King food and drink. It's all fine but nothing to write home about. A member of staff looked at me very oddly for asking if they had cranberry juice.

Amazing and must visit in Nottingham

Beautiful pub. Ate and drank well.

I can't say how good the place is! I lived in the uk for a year? Traveled afterwards and went to alot of cities. I mean A LOT. I went to expensive and famous pubs that served british food and liked NONE. This olace changed my opinion! The saturday special (beef pie and gravy and cabbage) was out of this world! The dessert(sticky toffee pidding with custord) was delicious! You have to try this place when you visit Nottingham!

Welcoming pub on New Year's Day, bike friendly as well. Next time will try the food!

Always a good visit, pleasant staff and good beer.

A great place to stop on the way to Jerusalem

Service was quick as well as very friendly and helpful. We were helped to a table which was reserved later but given it anyway. Not too crowded but lots of nice friendly clientele. Fantastic Bloody Mary!

Amazing place, so full of history. Food exceptional. Great service too.

A must visit for anyone in Nottingham or visiting Nottingham. Just don't touch the galley upstairs or forever be cursed

Very busy as you should expect. Service was quick.

Charming pub, very historic , good selection of beers and drinks and really friendly and cosy!

Been going here for years. It's just one of those places that has some history, does really good beers and just feels right. If you ever go to Nottingham, visit The Trip. 'nuff said.

Decent food, not too expensive and didn't have to wait long to get our food.

Didn't have food so didn't rate but place is great full of history

Unfortunately, I did not use this place because it was closed on December 25, 2024. A charming and old place.

History surrounding this pub is worth a visit on it's own, but the drinks and food are excellent.

Didnt eat here, but popped in for a couple. Absolutely brilliant place. Staff were friendly too. Small rooms, due to its size and design but superb little pub.

Something you don't see often. A great place to visit.

We had to call in for a beer at this quaint pub. The ambience was great !!! Worth a visit if you are in Nottingham. Near the Castle and Robin Hood statue.

I didn't eat in this Inn but I took pictures. I didn't have time for more. My five stars go for the piece of history. It is in the immediate vicinity of the castle and the statue of Robin Hood.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

Fantastic place. We had a lot of fun here.

Excellent, great food & drinks!

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.

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

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

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 😊

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

Good banter with staff and patrons.

Great place , great ales good service.

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.

Great little pub with history. Friendly bar staff

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!
