Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham

Authentic Pub to visit!! Quality: It has a variety of beers, of different qualities and for almost all tastes. Attention: They treated us normally, nothing relevant either for better or for worse. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is amazing, I recommend going upstairs to be able to explore the entire pub, all of us who went were surprised. Parking: It is not a particularly difficult area to park but I recommend taking a walk and exploring its surroundings.

Beautiful food. Lovely beer. Amazing staff.

Fantastic pub, interior is great, built into side of cliff, a must visit

Fantastic pub and atmosphere, food was delicious and the wine went down a treat, we were visiting from Sri Lanka but originally from Australia and met a member of staff called Tim who told us all about the history of the pub. It was very busy but he took the time out to chat with us and made us feel welcome even offering us a cellar tour if we could come back when it wasn’t so busy. Our visit was spoilt however when another male member of staff approached me as I went to the bar and informed us “to not listen to anything he has to say nobody likes him” he was clearly having a bad day but why he felt that was appropriate I’m not sure. If we are ever back we will take you up on the offer of the tour Tim.

Plus side...location and Pub itself.Minus side food o.k but very measly portion of chips for price charged.Service at bar not exactly the friendliest when tried to engage in chat so a bit off putting initially.Pub great though.

Had a great lunch here. Food was hot, tasty and good value for money. Great ales too!

Great pub, great selection of ales. Always my 1st port of call when in Nottingham

Ah, time traveler and seeker of ancient wonders, listen to my story about a place where the stones whisper stories of centuries past: Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem! Imagine descending into the bowels of history, where candlelight flickers over walls of living rock, carved by time and secrets. Every corner of Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a testimony to forgotten times, a medieval decoration that envelops you in a cavernous and mysterious embrace. You feel the weight of the years in every dark wooden beam, in every dimly lit nook, as if the ghosts of knights and pilgrims still haunt its halls. It's like stepping into a fantasy tale, where every sip of mead or bite of hearty food feels like an ancient ritual. The atmosphere is dense, loaded with the legend of crusades and secrets kept under the shadow of Nottingham Castle. If you are looking for an experience that transcends a simple visit to a pub, if you long to feel history pulsate in every stone and breathe the air of an epic past, then you must make the pilgrimage to Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. It's more than a pub, it's a journey back in time carved into the rock!

This is a unique pub, located inside a huge stone cave. The ambiance is out of this world, you definitely travel back in time. This pub has a lot of history and is very old. The beer selection is great and delicious. Over the whole pub you can find beautiful details from the past.

What a fabulous pub for a Sunday lunch in the sunshine. Stacks of history, loads of character, great food, good beer and super company. Especially liked the idea of the Invisible Mac & Cheese. Look out for it on the menu. Thumbs up from us 👍

What a fabulous ancient pub! Excellent range of beers, some amazing food on the specials menu, and really friendly and professional staff. It was a really busy sunny Saturday, but the vibexwas really relaxed. Must go more often!

Very good food (Korean BBQ chicken burger) and very kind staff. It's quite quirky and is one of Nottingham's unique gems.

The oldest pub in England, always a very pleasant place to have a beer with friends

£12 for two portions of chips and some onion rings???? Wow. What a rip off.

A very unique pub given the history behind it and it’s well maintained. Can accommodate a lot of people but given the old design, tall people will have to mind their heads. Staff is friendly and efficient and they do have a fair selection of beers. Didn’t try the food but did see a few great dishes being carried to other tables. A few parking spaces could be found along the street close by.

Staff are rude, was an empty bar and they were all stood chatting in the back. Ignored me completely and carried on talking amongst themselves, and weren’t very polite when serving, still talking to each other. The whole place also smelt damp.

Went in on a Saturday night, the bar was empty so my friend and I went and stood to be served...staff made eye contact from what appeared to be a back area, and all 3 of them made eye contact and saw us stood there and continued with their chat....completely ignoring us. Again, nobody else was waiting to be served...after about 4 minutes they decided to serve us, but came across as standoffish, however atmosphere was enjoyable and whilst the cider was pricey, its Town do we didn't mind too much. Was just a shame the customer service wasn't great

Vibrant old English pub. Set into the rock beneath Nottingham Castle. Very quirky and interesting. Good selection of beers and delicious good. Definitely worthba visit.

Verily, this alehouse is right good; the victuals were fresh and hot, and the ale most delectable.

Lager was a tad flat but loved it. Imagine a pub 900 years old built in to the caves!

It was extremely packed, great visit on our way to our hotel though, worth the short detour :)

Cool place. The pub layout is quirky and cool. But the service is bad. Staff is rude and short tampered. We ordered the roast and everything is overcooked. They may have fired the plates in the kiln along side the beef, it was so over cooked..

Bucket loads of traditional historic character and a great atmosphere.

Lovely old pub built into a cave of centuries old. Great snug areas and room with open fire. Dog friendly and nice outside smoking area with heaters. Definitely worth a visit

Supposedly, the oldest pub in Nottingham, maybe even the country, built into the sandstone rocks of Nottingham castle Loads of atmosphere and history. Great beers and other drinks, never eaten there, so I can't comment. Sorry. Check out the haunted galleon and its history, worth it 👌 On a nice day, have a drink outside in the shade of the castle walls.

I was born in Nottingham but only recently managed to go for a pint! Lots of history around the place. A must for anyone who's visiting Nottingham

Great experience, lovely food and great atmosphere

Great place, everyone should have a beer here.

This place was so cool and literally was at the bottom of Nottingham Castle. We had lunch here. It was really old 1189 and spooky and way better than even the Castle itself. It's definitely a must visit.

Second oldest pub in Nottingham? Great vibe with very well kept beers in an ancient location. Food is hearty & real, staff are efficient, with a welcoming demeanor. Worth a visit if you are in the area as an experience but lacks the friendly fun vibe of other establishments.

Food was really good And amazing looking pub inside

Great pub. Top room a must visit

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of the oldest pub in england. We visited this place and it was fully crowded and at last we got table for seating. It was in caves. I like the atmosphere inside and outside of the pub. Their crafted beers and old notes sticked to roof top at the counter was pretty good.

Really recommend a visit if in town

Oldest pub in UK, at least what they say. Cool atmosphere, good drinks and food. Impressive interior!

Best pub ever! The staff are amazing! The atmosphere is top notch! And The manager is a top guy, really knows his stuff! Xx

For the outside it really looks old , built in 1189 is considered the oldest pub in England and for the inside it looks more like a museum, didn't take so many pictures because there were a lot of people divided by the rooms eating and chilling having their beer so, we must respect those moments. The Guinness was top quality and the atmosphere of the pub was very good ! Worth a visit if you're in Nottingham searching for a pub .

Finished the town trail, so I simply had to call into the oldest Inn.

This is such a nice pub with lots of history. The drinks are quite expensive, it was nearly £20 for a pint of beer and 2 vodkas and coke. But I suppose that's what you pay for a touristy pub.

We enjoyed the „oldest pub“ in England very much - excellent location and fantastic beers - what you would expect from a typical English pub added by an interesting building - Thanks

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and history galore, well worth a visit if you are in Nottingham

Great food and Matt, the host looked after all 6 of us with great hospitality and would definitely visit again

Considering the venue, this is some of the rudest service I have seen in a pub.

Overpriced, nice beer and lovely service. Still very much worth a visit

We visited Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, said to be England’s oldest pub, dating back to 1189 AD, and it was an incredible experience! Nestled right next to Nottingham Castle, this historic pub is full of authentic charm, with its unique cave rooms and centuries-old atmosphere. We stopped in for a pint, and it was amazing to soak in the history while enjoying a great drink. If you’re in Nottingham, this is a must-visit for a true taste of the past!

Great atmosphere, very welcoming. Spent a few lovely hours setting the world to rights here. Food looked nice, will try it next time.

We stopped for lunch and it was great, both the food and the atmosphere. It is a very picturesque and cozy place, where you can eat typical dishes from an English Pub. Highly recommended.

A great place - well worth a visit just for the history but good beer as well!

Brilliant building and atmosphere but absolutely extortionist prices. Salutations inn much better.

We visited during our trip to Nottingham, and it exceeded our expectations. It’s a place that has truly preserved its historic character. The atmosphere is excellent. However, the food doesn’t match the atmosphere—it’s not as good, and there are much tastier and more affordable alternatives. My recommendation is to have a good meal elsewhere first, then come here to enjoy a beer and soak in the ambiance.

Amazing pub in the most unexpected place. The food and ale were delicious and the service excellent. After the meal, we had a look around all the rooms to see the cursed ship and the swords. Highly recommend! A place like no other!

The food is ABSOLUTE QUALITY. BEST CHIPS I HAVE EVER HAD FROM ANYWHERE HANDS DOWN AND THE FRESHEST CHICKEN BURGER!!!!! Thanks to Lois, roshni & Jordan for there AMAZING service. Next time I visit Nottingham MUST visit again.

Food was absolutely fantastic! Could not get enough of the Mac and cheese, had a bite of the chicken burger which I tried only a little of bit found so yummy! Matt gave a good history of the pub he also has a fantastic beard, and Jordan giving a good wine recommendation to go with my food. Roshni served us with our food with a smile which was well appreciated. Honestly found this experience the best considering this was my first time in Nottingham! Would definitely want to come again to try the rest of the menu, maybe sit in other areas of the pub as was sat in the haunted snug! Possibly even heard a ghosty! 👻

Really cool pub if you fancy something quirky. Didn't eat here, but would definitely try if we visit the area again!

What a fantastic place. Well worth a visit

A wonderful, atmospheric place, I'm happy that I could visit it and drink a great Old Trip! I recommend!

One of the oldest pub. The feel and the vibe of beikg tje oldest was present in each corner.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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 👍

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
