LARGE AND SMALL, The Brewers of
Nottinghamshire are a collective of some
of the 30+ local and independent
breweries, growing in success and
reputation across the country. We are
proud of our local pubs and invite you to enjoy
our porters, milds, ambers, ciders and award winning
pale ales inside some fantastic buildings around the city.
For more information please visit:

Reputedly dating back to the
12th century and claiming to be
the oldest inn in England,
‘The Trip’ sits below Nottingham
Castle and is built into the
sandstone rock on which the
castle proudly stands, resulting
in a unique pub experience.
With a full range of ales, plus
a brew especially made or the
pub, The Trip to Jerusalem
continues to delight visitors
from around the world.
One of Nottingham’s finest
examples of canal architecture,
the Canalhouse with its internal
canal basin has two narrow
boats moored inside the pub.
Featured in the Guardian and
Observer Best Summer Pubs
Guide the Canalhouse serves a
variety of ales from the nearby
Castle Rock Brewery as well
as an impressive selection of
continental beers.

Built in 1883, Fothergills is just
one of the many distinctive
buildings in Nottingham
designed by the renowned local
architect Watson Fothergill.
Now with a more strippedback and relaxed interior, the
building displays much of the
site’s original features and its
architectural significance. Beers
from many local microbreweries
feature in the bar.
Designed in the gothic revival
style by Alfred K Waterhouse, one
of Nottingham’s famous Victorian
architects, The Round House was
originally built as the Jubilee Wing
of Nottingham General Hospital.
Serving a wide selection of local
real ale, real cider & fine wines,
The Round House stands close to
the site where Charles I raised his
Standard in the Civil War on 22nd
August, 1642.
Built as a workshop for a tanner
in 1240 Ye Olde Salutation
stands on the site of an even
older alehouse known as The
Archangel Gabriel Salutes the
Virgin Mary. Beneath the pub
there is also a network of tunnels
and Saxon caves believed to
date back to the ninth century.
Rotating through around 30 ales,
mainly from local microbreweries
the pub is in the Real Ale Guide
and features in The Nottingham
Ghost Walk.
Designed by a local, little known
architect, Edwin Hill, and with
a truly unique interior featuring
a high arched glazed roof, the
Malt Cross was originally built
as a Victorian music hall and
skating rink! Now, a charity
and community initiative, the
Malt Cross keeps alive its
musical heritage showcasing
emerging local bands, artists and
musicians. Known for its great
range of local ales and locally
sourced food The Malt Cross is a
popular and lively venue.

Built as the brewery tap house
for the original Nottingham
Brewery, the Rose of England
is another outstanding neo
gothic example of the Victorian
architect Watson Fothergill’s
work. Serving a selection of real
ales and craft beers the Rose is
an essential stopping off point
on the Mansfield Road part of
the ale trail.

Nottinghamshire, NG1 3GY
The Vat and Fiddle is the Castle
Rock Brewery tap house offering
the full range of Castle Rock
regular and occasional beers
together with guest beers from
other breweries. The building,
close to Nottingham Station, was
purpose built as a pub in the
1930s and retains many original
art deco features with a traditional
pub atmosphere. The Golding’s
Room has a modern feel whilst the
Visitors’ Centre offers a view into
the brewery.
Dating from around 1437, The
Bell claims, along with the Trip
and Salutation, to be one of the
oldest pubs in the city. Originally
built as a refectory for the monks
of the monastery on Beastmarket
Hill, The Bell sits next to
Nottingham’s Market Square.
The range of cask ales includes
a selection of local brews and
special occasion brews created
in collaboration with The
Nottingham Brewery.

Victorian architectural features
are still intact, providing one of
Nottingham’s most original drinking
establishments. The “Poacher” has
been synonymous with the real
ale scene in Nottingham since the
1980’s. Rising from the shell of the
Old Grey Nags Head, a Shipstones
pub, the Lincolnshire Poacher is
now a part of the Castle Rock group.
Offering a full range Castle Rock ales
and world beers the pub continues
its reputation as a landmark real
alehouse in Nottingham.

Starting life as a brewery back
in 1866, the Hand and Heart’s
original Georgian origins
have been supplemented by
a Victorian frontage, much
of which is still in its original
condition. The main feature
however, is the sandstone
cave into which the pub
extends, providing a unique
atmosphere to enjoy its superb
range of ales which has led
the Hand and Heart to win
many CAMRA awards.
