The manager offered us a tab, not knowing us from Adam. A good choice of beers, usually I have a problem getting a dark one. There should be more people here, surely on a match day?

This is becoming known as one of the best live music venues in Burton. They have live music most…read moredays with a wide genre of music for all tastes but definitely worth a visit to appreciate the entertainment on offer, personally I think the best night is Saturday where some of the better know bands play. Although please note this venue is loud so if you are not into live music, it might be not your cup of tea. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The choice of beers is great. The locals are also very friendly. The downside is the car park is not very big so parking can sometimes be a problem. I understand they have a cafe on the back but this is not something that I have sampled.

Food very good - starter of roasted tomato soup, then delicious veggie option of braised puy lentils with mash and a Yorkshire pud while Diana's fish pie was unctuous and topped with some outstanding crispy mash. Washed down with a great local pint - grand. Not quite five star fodder but not a million miles off. There's an attached restaurant serving the same grub but didn't explore it as we had muddy boots and had probably sat in sheep poo up on the moor.

This is probably one of the main reasons people come to Nottingham, and that is to visit this pub…read morebecause, well, it happens to be one of the oldest pubs in the country. The other thing is that the crusaders would visit this pub on the way to the crusades, but there weren't any here when I visited, rather it was packed with all sort, probably tourists, considering the reputation that this pub has. Also, another really cool thing is that this pub is built into the side of a rock outcropping (upon which the castle is built), so yeah, there is so much about this pub that is cool (other than the crowds, which is annoying).

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.

This is a rather smallish pub in Derby, a teensy bit grubby, a bit rough - if they were serving real ales they'd certainly make the CAMRA Good Beer Guide (grubbiness being a must). Sadly, they don't. Instead, you get the ordinary selection of lagers, plus mostly bland British beers like Worthington's Bitter (not the wonderful White Shield, alas!) and John Smith's. Nothing to write home about. When I visited there was also a rather eccentric motley assortment of people in leather garb present, and they started the karaoke at about 6 p.m. (on a weeknight). I had a couple of pints, then left. Staff are friendly though. There are so many fine real ale pubs in central Derby (The Flower Pot and The Silk Mill come easily to mind). No reason, then, to hang out here except for special customers.

The Full Moons Main Feature [Village Character] You enter the village by a Lane, and the Pub sits by the 'very under used Lane' where you can sit Front of House, and imagine a Cart to Roll By any minute!! The exit from the village, is again by a Lane. If you then so wish. From here you can go 1 Riverside., to a well situated, but [in my opine] a lesser quality Public House, But Luvverly Situation. 2 Go to Southwell, where you can continue your Ale-fuelled revelry. 3 Find other local-village bars of note [ie, Bleasby], but your own discovery is this option. pps., i cannot assess the 'nosh' as i havnt imbibed as yet. by all accounts very good.
