I was somewhat dubious about visiting this pub given it's tourist trap reputation and avoided going in on an early Saturday evening, instead opted for an opening time visit on the Sunday, handily at 11.am, I'm glad I did, we had the pub to ourselves for a good fifteen minutes or so before one or two others drifted in,time to wander around the interesting multiple areas within the pub. Apart from a couple of their own beers on there is little to point to this being a Greene King run pub, which suits me. There was good beer choice available over a total of nine handpumps, I opted for a Beermats Prismatic in decent shape. I found this pub an excellent start to the day and will go as far as to say a must visit pub but timing is everything.

I paid a long overdue trip to Ye Olde Trip on a recent Wednesday evening when it was reasonably quiet so I got to have a good look around what is apparently the oldest pub in the land. This is Greene King pub so obviously their Olde Trip was going to be on the bar alongside IPA. One of the other six hand pumps was reverse clipped which left Theakston’s Old Peculiar, Little Star Brewery’s Shipstones Original, Beermats Brewing’s Matte Black, Brewster’s Brewery’s Decadence and Welbeck Abbey’s Portland Black as the cask options. Premium keg is also available, and ironically England’s “oldest” pub is now card payments only. The staff were surprisingly friendly for a Greene King pub, let alone such a tourist hotspot.
There are at least two bars and lots of different seating areas including some upstairs that have been carved into the rock. I took a picture of the suit of armour, but I stopped short of buying a T-shirt. I think the highlight of my visit was meeting Lee, who would be world champion of Hook the Horn if there was such a thing. This game is basically a hoop on a length of string hanging from the ceiling and the aim is to swing it onto a hook on the wall. A great atmosphere was being generated as Lee challenged the tourists who passed through the small back bar to snag the hook. Not expecting much from my visit I actually left pleasantly surprised because my pint was decent, the service was welcoming, there was a good atmosphere, and it wasn’t too busy.

Must visit pub for those into their pub history and quirky locations. Loads of information available about its claim to be the oldest pub in the land. Certainly feels like it when you are sat in a cave excavation with moody lights and its smells like a fusty old cellar.

Quiet on a Thursday night. A Nottingham brewery Legend seemed the locale thing to do.
