One of the better of the Orange Tree Pubs. Staff could be better trained but the drinks menu has great choice and the food is good.

An absolutely stunning Art Deco pub. Built in 1938, it is a Grade II listed building and has won an…read moreaward from English Heritage for its refurbishment in 2001. The revolving door in the main entrance brings you straight into the main lounge with its sweeping bronze staircase; this in turn leads you up to a function room which was the original Cocktail Bar in the 30's and 40's. Lots of original fittings remain, and all the furniture is true to its era. There is a lot of wood panelling (English maple) and chrome and bronze fittings. Even the toilets are worth a visit - lots of original marble, wood and magnificent mirrors. For cricket lovers, The Test Match is only a mile from Trent Bridge. There are 3 or 4 enormous murals depicting Notts cricketers from the bygone era of the game. You'll also find some interesting memorabilia framed and mounted on the walls. I haven't mentioned the beer yet! Well-kept draught beers from the owners Greene King dominate the bar - the light IPA, the formidable Abbot and the even stronger, slightly cloying Old Speckled Hen. Add to that the ales of the local Nottinghamshire brewery Hardys and Hansons. Guest beers, too, and I felt at home on seeing The Reverend James, a product of the Cardiff brewer, Brains. Friendly young bar staff complete, for me, a perfect 10 for this beautiful piece of heritage.

The last two meals i've had here have been pretty good. One was a sunday lunch, which offered a…read morechoice of the usual meats (and also ham). I was disappointed to see lamb missing from the choice on this particular Sunday though, so I went for the option of half a roast chicken. It came with a couple of roast potatoes, a Yorkshire Pudding and gravy on the plate, and then a plate of other vegetables was given for people to share (one between two). This had mashed potato, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. For me, there wasn't enough mashed potato, and the broccoli and cauliflower were both a bit too 'al dente' for me. However, they didn't taste raw, so I lived with it. As I like a decent amount of gravy, I asked if I could have some more and they happily gave me a small pouring jug of extra gravy. Following the meal I was full, but felt that around £8.00 was pushing it a bit for a Sunday lunch, especailly one that was less than generous with the veg. I didn't leave disappointed, but just feeling that a little more generosity wouldn't have gone amiss. The other time I went, I opted for the interesting sounding Teriyaki Surf and Turf. This consisted of a good sized piece of steak, cooked as requested, and some battered prawns with coriander. The dish was served with a Teriyaki dip and a portion of chips. The steak was cooked as i'd requested it, rare, and seemed of good quality.. The prawns were nice, however, not enough of them. Only three I seem to recall, so again, a little more generosity wouldn't have gone amiss, especially as this was pretty much the most expensive dish on the menu coming in at just under £13.00. If you are out for a wander along the River Trent and find yourself around here, you could do far worse than pop in for a bite to eat. I have friends who live nearby which is the reason i've been a few times now, but i'm not sure i'd go out of my way to get here. Oh, they usually have a few real ales on, if that's your thing.

It used to be a Chef & Brewer, so you could rely on an extensive menu, a good Specials board and excellent wine. But it seems to have changed hands, or Chef & Brewer have, I'm not sure. Whereas you used to have to queue at the bar to order your food (and would often find they had sold out and then have to return to ask what people wanted, then queue again!) there is waited service, which is a big improvement. The last time I was here, it was mediocre. Such a shame because the place itself is all old beams and wooden floors, with a lovely garden in the back. It can get very busy, expecially Sundays. The area has a very interesting history - http://www.proweb.co.uk/~roymat/ferry/ferry.html xx

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham is a really fun and memorable spot that earns a solid four…read morestars for the overall experience. This place absolutely nails the spooky, historic ambience and that alone makes it worth the visit. Built into the rock and filled with low ceilings, uneven floors, and centuries of history, it genuinely feels like stepping back in time. Every corner has character and a slightly eerie charm that adds to the experience rather than taking away from it. The ambience is easily the highlight here. From the dim lighting to the old stone walls and hidden nooks, it feels authentic and atmospheric without trying too hard. It is the kind of place where you want to slow down, look around, and soak it all in. If you appreciate history or enjoy places with a bit of mystery and legend behind them, this pub delivers in a big way. Service was good overall but not outstanding. Staff were friendly and helpful, though things moved at a relaxed pace, especially when it got busy. Orders were correct and everyone was polite, but there were moments where service felt just okay rather than exceptional. That said, the staff fit the vibe of the place well and were happy to answer questions about the history, which added to the experience. Drinks were solid and what you would expect from a historic pub. Nothing mind blowing, but enjoyable and well poured. The food was decent and satisfying, fitting the traditional pub feel, even if it did not completely steal the show. Overall Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a place you go for the atmosphere and history first, with good service and an enjoyable experience rounding it out. It is not perfect, but it is unique, memorable, and absolutely worth a visit when in Nottingham. Four stars for a spooky, historic pub that delivers charm and character in spades.

Recommended by a friend in Ohio, and what a recommendation! I had lunch after touring Nottingham…read moreCastle, which I would recommend as Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is in a cave under the castle. Like all structures of this era, the ceilings are quite low and the stairs and rooms are quite twisty and full of surprises. The staff was so nice and efficient. I ordered at the bar downstairs and had my meal delivered to a table on the next floor (see video). I've taken many trips to the UK, and frequented many establishments with signs claiming the "world's best fish and chips.". The fish was amazing and perfectly prepared. The chips were not greasy at all, and very flavorful. The highlight was the fresh peas! Bursting with flavor. I rate the fish and chips second only to the Mayfair Chippy in London, however, the ambiance and experience takes it over the top even if you're only slopping by for a pint.
