The plates and glasses were only cleared once we placed a new reservation card on the table, which meant we had to look at dirty plates for over an hour. The food was just average pub fare.

And I fully expected it to be a giant tourist trap, with a heavy dose of social distancing thrown in. After a pint I planned on heading over the Nottingham Castle and do some tourist stuff. And I certainly didn't plan to eat there. Well, that all changed after about 10 minutes in the place. What a pleasant surprise! I can honestly say I've never seen a pub grown out of the side of a cliff! And you feel like you could be an extra in a Band of Merry Thieves spot. The place is magnificent. I'm sorry if I can't remember how many ales I tried, but who's counting anyway. Since I knew I'd not likely be back around these parts any time soon, I went ahead and ordered the usual, Fish Chips and Steak Ale Pie. Both were fantastic, spot on. Although I'm always shocked to see how much the bar tab is in the UK (or Europe in general for that matter) compared to the food tab (alcohol is always at a premium). But that has nothing to do with the pub. In the end I never made it to the castle, but enjoyed the hell out of the locals and the staff. Do not miss the opportunity to check this place out!

It's the oldest pup in England, apparently, and to sit inside and soak up the history was enough for me.... Great pub. Guinness was perfect! I only had the chips so I can't really write a food review based on those, although they were delicious...

Great food. Great history! Had a good time at this place. It's great having experienced the oldest pub in England. read more Great food. Great history! Had a good time at this place. It's great having experienced the oldest pub in England.
