Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham

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!

Great little pub with history. Friendly bar staff

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.

Excellent food and drink, in lovely surroundings.

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

Great food choices and festive dishes available

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

Beautiful old pub, nice place to meet friends..

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

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

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..

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

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.

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.

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

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 ☺️

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

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

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.

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.

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!

A very nice experience. For me third visit.

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 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.

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.

Amazing place. Must visit if you're in Nottingham

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Lovely little pub lovely atmosphere loads of different kinds of beer

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.

Great place, highly recommended 👌

Fantastic little pub within the caves below Nottingham castle. Reputed to be the oldest inn in the UK. Great staff, delicious beer and wonderful atmosphere. Well worth a visit for a pint or five.

You have to know it, very beautiful and old

Best pub, a must! It's best to reserve in advance.

So beautiful, great food, unbelievable atmosphere 💜

So full that we didn't have to wait for service let alone a table where we could eat

Great atmosphere and service. Perfect pub with a good selection of beers on. The manager and staff do an amazing job of embracing the history of the pub and area. Definitely worth a stop in.

Cool pub with a great atmosphere! Parkingspots in front of it super easy

I had good memories of this place from years ago, but it could really have been any Greene King. Either it was never what I remembered, or the soul has been sucked from the place.

This oldest pub in England from 1189 (there are other cities that also claim this title) consists of many connected small rooms with height differences. Parts of this have also been cut into the rocks behind the pub below the castle. Great authentic atmosphere, friendly and hospitable staff and various tasty beers on tap. If you're in the area, definitely take a look inside.

Quirky, historical pub underneath Nottingham castle. Rooms are in caves so very atmospheric. Good drinks selection and decent food.

(Supposedly) the oldest Pub in England. The experience is very entertaining if what you are looking for is to be in a Pub with all the English vibe. Built inside a cavern, you really feel like you're in an old tavern. The food is delicious, especially the classic Fish and Chips.

Had a pint at Ye Olde Trip with friends visiting Nottingham for the first time.

Came to Nottingham for my wife's birthday and this was our first stop after arriving by train. A very interesting layout for a pub, as it goes into the caves it becomes something of a labyrinth moving between different rooms. I had a burger whilst my wife had steak and both our meals were lovely. Particular mention for the atmosphere which felt great and you could really feel the history of the Inn whilst sat inside.

Incredible unique historic pub, in a great part of town right next to the castle. Solid pint of Guinness

You cannot leave the town without visiting it and consuming some of the beers they offer or even taking the opportunity to eat in the oldest tavern in England. The atmosphere is very pleasant. They don't offer a wide variety of food but you can try meats, hamburgers or the typical fish and cheep.

The Ye Olde trip to Jerusalem is probably the most famous pub in the world. I have been wanting to come here for over forty years. I finally made it, and I was not disappointed. There is an excellent selection of cask conditioned real ales, largers, and cider. The cask ales we sampled were in excellent condition. The traditional pub menu looked very good and we decided to have the steak and ale pie. The pie was fabulous the best I have had in any pub. The pub itself dates back to the early 1600s and is a warren of small rooms. The upstairs rooms have been cut out of the rock under the castle and are thought to date back to when the castle was built. The friendly staff encouraged us to explore this unique pub. It's a very popular tourist attraction, but more than that it is a great traditional English pub, with very good beer and excellent pub food. Highly recommended.

A must see pub, steeped in history. Great beer and food 1st class 👍

Absolutely unmissable ancient English Inn, retaining much of its original character. Managed by Greene King. The host was pleasant and helpful. There is a reasonable selection of food, including vegetarian options. TOP TIP: there are occasional excellent offers on some beers, so it’s well worth enquiring (e.g., I had a pint of Amstel for £2 on 3 consecutive days!) Highly recommended.

I had the best time here. The people are so nice and welcomeing. I am from Australia and I will always treasure my memories of my visit here

They say it is the oldest pub in England. Obviously a must if you pass through Nottingham. The pub a few tens of meters from the castle; remember that you need to take a seat at the table, order food and drinks at the counter, pay and then they will bring them to your table. The rooms upstairs are cute

All I can say is WOW Absolutely amazing you have to go here x

Historical ambience, friendly service, good food. Actually at a reasonable price too. Recommended for every tourist.

Quaint pub, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great atmosphere not over priced

Very disappointed. Website doesn't allow you to book, so I rang a week ago to book a table, to be told they don't take bookings. Visited today to find some tables where reserved. Staff rude and unable to offer an explanation...

Awesome pub, lovely stuff and beautiful place.
