The difference between an inn and a pub is that a pub is just a drinking place but an inn used to be a place where you could get accommodation for travellers. The building across the road used to be the People's College of Further Education where I did part of my apprenticeship after I left school. On fridays after college I and my college mates all used to pile into the old trip for a few bevys before making our ways home. It is believed that there is tunnel under the castle that goes all the way out to the Newstead area of Nottinghamshire but it has never been proved. The tunnels were also used as air raid shelters in the 1st and 2nd world wars.
As a student in Nottingham in the early 90s we never went to the Trip as it was expensive, crowded with tourists and the beer was meh! Went back a couple of years ago and had a really poor meal. Much better pubs within a short walk such as the Old Salutation, the Bell and the Hand & Heart
The Porch House, Stow on the Wold, The Cotswolds. This beautiful old inn dates back to 947 AD and the Guinness Book of Records authenticates it as the oldest pub in England. Now, what a lovely change that would make to Nottingham.
It's good to see all the bars and restaurants still thriving... Thanks to the Universities... NTU all the way! ❤ Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a must if visiting Nottingham! Ye Olde Salutation & The Bell Inn are old pubs too! Lord Byron is buried in Hucknall, interesting gravestone! For Great Value & Quality on Fish and Chips in Nottingham City Centre... Has to be Moulin Rouge! ❤
I pay £7:50 for a steak pie cut from a big round, chips and 3 veg at the market cafe' Shipley, far better value and no pretentious description on the menu.
An Inn has accomodation. a pub doesn't. That was a pretty big pie and it looked gorgeous. I'd prefer more pie and less chips rather than the other way around. Also bear in mind there's only so much you can put on a plate...
Just subscribed today. Catching up with your videos. I was born in Bulwell, Nottingham in 1953. I was 17yrs old when I went into Ye olde Trip to Jerusalem and this video brings back fond memories of everyone knowing every bouncer in the town as a friend. I am glad you specified it is an Inn, not a pub. Siren will be going to St Anne's estate, no doubt 😂.
Never been to Nottingham but looks like a lovely city with a lot of historic places there The pub ( The Old Trip of Jerusalem) looked like a throwback & as you mentioned very historic alright The chips looked really good but you seemed disappointed In them … Enjoyable vlog Lee x 👍👍
I was there a few weeks ago; there is a short tour of the caves under the pub, ask at the bar, great to do late at night as it's very creepy! You get a real sense of something lurking! Great video as always!
Believe me, Nottingham is a culinary desert. A city that once had many individually owned restaurants is now overrun by " chain food outlets. Trying to find a decent meal in the city center is impossible. 🇬🇷😎
This brings back some memories, back in my day, it was full of Bikers ,rockers and students from people's college. The landlady had a beautiful chocolate coloured Doberman dog that after closing she would let out into the bar area, would go around looking for empty crisp packets. There use to be a gun club in the caves just up from the Trip.
The price list at the "beach" was hilarious - I do appreciate a good sense of humour. I can get a Ryanair flight to somewhere better than Not'num for the price of that "XXL Triple Cheese Burger". "Why cover your face? What's all that about?" It's just not British, sir! 😟And, yes, you can say that about Bob Hood's squeeze. So, sign outside the "Trip" "Oldest", Red plaque inside "one of the oldest": discuss. A slice of cabbage with pie and (frozen) chips! Are peas really that expensive now? There's no prestige in paying too much.
You’ve probably seen this , Ye,phrase on signs. It represents an Early Modern English form of the definite article “the” (pronounced /ðiː/). The word “the” was originally spelled as “þe” (with a thorn character), but later written as “yͤ” (with the “e” written above the other letter). Medieval printing presses lacked the letter thorn, so “y” was substituted. So Ye is pronounced the.
Hello Lee Really enjoyed your content today. Very interesting facts even though you needed affirmation from your subs. Pie looked nice. I shall give it a 7. See you soon 😊
I believe an inn was where stage coaches and travellers stopped in days gone by for food and refreshments they could also stay overnight in an inn .A bar simply sold alcohol
An Inn was somewhere that provided accommodation and usually (but not always) food and drink. A tavern was a place that sold drink and ussually food but didnt provide accommodation. A pub is short for a public house which began as literally a house where they had acquired a licence to sell alcohol.
The oldest building that is now a pub in England is apparently "Mill of the black Monks" in Barnsley it's well over 800 years old and used to be a water mill that belonged to the Monk Bretton Priory which parts of it are still remaining and iis just across the road. The food and drink at the black Monks are very nice and well worth travelling for, give it a try!
Correct m8, can't afford to eat out as sadly due to business rates and energy, the eateries have had to ramp the price up to unaffordable for me. Also oh no, I would sooner drink from puddles, than drink ruddles pie. It's a 2 dine for £10.99 meal
Lee,you need to visit The olde man and scythe,in Bolton. Built in 1651,and the place were the Earle of Derby spent his last night before being executed outside. The place is haunted,and the video of the ghost is on you tube. So why not pop up for the food festival in August,and pay it a visit. Give me a call,and I will show you around my friend.
Robin Hood was according to legend from Lockersly now known as Loxley, which is in Sheffield, so that makes him a Yorkshire man. Good video, Lee Food looked ok.
Going with one of the comments about the difference between an Inn and a Pub. My local is an 'Inn' and I can remember we had a discussion about this many many moons ago and yes, at an Inn you can request a bed for the night. Whereas at a Pub you can't.
Great vid.. thanks for going I've often wondered about it . Don't do Nottingham... So pleased to have a walk round . Mansfield lass but don't do that just peak district lol... You could praps do a few of them Chatsworth kitchen I've noticed peak outlet.. cheers Ali x

Staff wages (Minimum wage), rent, business tax, electric bill, food price rising. Check out how much that pub has to pay in business (Council) tax per year.. My local shop pays out around £30,000 a year in those things before he even makes a profit. Quiet or busy he still has to pay.
The olde trip to Jerusalem dates back to 1189 whereas the Ostrich Inn (originally The Hospice) in Colnbrook, Berks dates back to 1106. Colnbrook was on the main London to bath road and had a lot of coaching inns.
Mill of the black monks in Barnsley is suppose yo be the oldest pub in England. Does nice food too, lots of tunnels underneath and also appeared on britains most haunted
The oldest pub in England is the Bell in Finedon Northamptonshire. It was opened in 1042. Dinosaurs still drink their. Pterodactyls still nest in the chimney, I think, the cider is quite nice. Leeds hadnt even been thought about then. And know its gone, Finedon is still here but not for much longer. PS It still sports slaves.
Hi Lee thanks for the video. That pub looks really interesting. Like the cave room. Loved it. Meal, pie was nice looking. Chips looked fine to me. Gravy needed to be a tad thicker. Im ignoring the seared lettuce, like you did. Bit pricey. I was thinking of one or two politicians that need a date with that cursed galleon😮.
An Inn you can get a bed for the night and a pub you can't. Although I'm not sure you can get a bed for the night at The Trip these days. Lovely pub, memories from many moons ago of Olde Roger beer when it was a Freehouse pub that was so thick you tipped your glass and had to wait for it to reach your mouth, haha!!
Hi Lee, enjoyed the video, i do love old pubs/inns, and places with history, the pie looked yummy, i think i would have chosen mashed potato with it 👍👍
Just remember when as a student in the 90's the trip to jerusalem food was mainly giant yorkshires with roast dinners but beer was good and ambience was second to none ( next to the St John Borlasse Warren )
First met you through a Mallorca Under the Sun video with Alex in Old Town Alcudia, Mallorca. Really enjoyed this Nottingham Inn tour. You edit it so well. Thanks. I have been through the Cotswolds like Bibury and the Swan Hotel. Have you been there? Similar environment. Thanks.
Pedant alert: Ye is pronounced The. The Y is not a Y but is the Old English letter known as thorn which represented th when the alphabet was a bit longer. The way it was written varied and it often looked like a Y but closed at the top. Printers without a thorn character just used Y as a replacement and so we ended up with Ye instead of The.
6 months ago you talked about a new house, now lately you mentioned the new house again. Are you building one or does it take a long time to buy or do paper work ?
Frozen pie frozen chips and veg powder gravy! 8.8! You're going soft Lee. The suet taste you were picking up was the pie that was microwaved in plastic.
Prices and Costs are down to the man, You can go to Dan the Van kerbside cafe and get pie and chips, for £4 or you can go to Ye Olde Jerusalam and pay £19 Same food just the ambience is different to you or what you can afford or who you are trying to impress
£17.85 for thin gravy, over-sueted pastry, frozen chips and a wedge of grilled lettuce (how’s that for pretentious?) and you give it 8.8? Same meal at Tebay was £6 cheaper and you said that was overpriced? Explain, please…
😂 I (mis) spent my youth at "the Trip" in the 60s. It was a fairly average spit & sawdust pub, with the "lounge" bar a bit posher and an open fire. Food was a bag of stale crisps, like all pubs, pork scratchings maybe. I visited many of the caves, including Mortimers Hole in the Castle - the dungeons were just awful. There were also cave bars behind the Hand and Heart on City Road where underage drinking and locks ins existed side by side with the cops from the Station next door. Different caves, very discrete. There were also caves under Woolaton Hall where there was an underground lake in use since the bronze age and sealed off tunnels that people exploring had disappeared in. Thanks for that glimpse of Nottingham, but not having been back for 50 years the Trip was the only thing I recognised!
Wow! food seems pricey, love the whole history of England, the caves and "oldest Inn" has been one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen you do. Lord Byron and I would get along well, Pint of Guinness please, Thanks.
looks like a fair amount of chips considering they look chunky style , the pi looks big too. Agree price is quite high though and extortionate for the coke WTF!!
The Trip is a great pub/inn. I've been using it occasionally for 28 years. The first interior shot is where my wife and I sat when we went to see Simply Red. Wife wasn't too impressed with the place, but she loves Nottingham!
Pie & Mash, the name is in the title. Looked lovely, that cabbage was perfect for me. Now it must be cheaper to drink local ale than diet coke these days.
£4.10 for a large diet coke is crazy. Tesco do a 2 litre bottle of Diet Coke for £1.85. Approx 3.5 pints in a 2 litre bottle so that would make the bottle £14.35 and they probably buy draught for a lot less than bottles. Places need to make profits but taking advantage of drivers and people who don't drink alcohol is rather unfair. Try an alcohol free beer next time Lee, probably, nicer and cheaper and you can tell us what you think! Reply
Every time I've gone in there, I'm Six foot four and remember to duck because of the low ceilings but when I've had a few pints I switch off and always end up nutting the ceiling. Ouch!!!
You're going to be paying good money in there. It was a great pub on a cold winter's day with the fires on, and we did like the food. Sure I had a pie too.
I visited the Sawyers Arms in Paddington and had the same meal earlier in the month. Wasn't previously aware of the Greene King brand but was impressed. Food more good value for money, was about same price a street away from Paddington Station but importantly the pub didn't feel like a chain, more like an independent and preserved perfectly with quirky pieces (Nods to Paddington Bear obviously). Would def visit others, I think they can lose that lettuce wedge with the pie mind (pointless), didn't think much of the gravy either but my chips were good and pie above average and meal a decent potion. On point with their brand and hopefully they will grow as a brand, maintaining the values of being a somewhat undercover brand.
Been in that pub/inn around 2000, I wanted to live in there, ace place. But always liked stony oak beamed rustic type pubs and inns etc, also Lendal Cellars in York is a favourite. Gaz Yorkshire.
Went from Leeds to the Trip in the 70s, and in one of the cavernous areas of the inn was a bull's ring hanging from the ceiling and a bull's horn on the side wall. The idea being to swing the ring over the horn. Is it still there?
Food looks ok to me. . I am not that fussy. But certainly over priced. £16 ahead for a main meal is the average now as we spent that away on our 50th anniversary last year. Dinner for two cost us £40 a night. Thanks for review.
The Ye Olde Salutation Inn in Nottingham also claims to be the Oldest pub, It also has Caves below it as well. They are supposed to let you visit the Caves during slack periods! You did not film the Trips cave room up stairs.
Many businesses went to the wall. They never returned. Many high streets are depleted now. The indoor market in MerthyrTydfil has half it's stalls closed.. Footfall has collapsed, but new cafes and restaurants keep opening in the high street. Plus Turkish hairdressers. 3 of them next to each other yet alone the others. Then nail bars have appeared..
Always meant to ask if you knew Alan Bentley who was the print room manager at the evening post, he was a good friend, I spent an afternoon at the evening post and may have met you in the office when you were a yoof lol! Would be late 1980s/ early 1990s. Nottingham was a great place to stop on the canal on my narrow boat and go for a curry and a pint in the pub you were in.
The pie is the same one that can be had in the 2 meals for £12ish in Greene Kings Sizzler chain (same group). Not the same as the Trip for atmosphere though which I think is very touristy.
'Put the pound sign on, we know its in pounds' ... hang on a sec, if you know it's in pounds, why do you need the pound sign? Saves ink and saves the planet one inky pound sign at a time!

Love old pubs like that the smell and atmosphere you can’t beat it.

I've never understood places that are stingy with the chips. It costs next to nothing to give a good serve and it makes the punters happy.

Been binging your videos over the last week. Absolutely brilliant. 👍🏼
When I visited The Trip about 35 years ago that Galleon was hanging from a chain in the upstairs bar, it was covered in cobwebs
This brings back some memories, back in my day, it was full of Bikers ,rockers and students from people's college.
The landlady had a beautiful chocolate coloured Doberman dog that after closing she would let out into the bar area, would go around looking for empty crisp packets.

If the caves are man made, doesn’t that make them tunnels?
That’s better Lee .Nottingham portrayed in the correct way it deserves .Cheers youth .
£2.45 for a side dish of a tiny wedge of cabbage, even given the mark up, that’s bonkers!
We are being ripped off from every angle.
Maybe the expense is to include the upkeep of the unique building?
Eating out is stupidly expensive now.A few chips,coke and a pie ingredients might come to £2 and they charged £17,WOW.No wonder i dont bother now.

When that Inn was being built the workers used to eat at Ye Olde Wimpy
I guess at the end of the day if the workers used to eat at ye old wimpy they'd burger off?!
The oldest pub in England is the Bell in Finedon Northamptonshire. It was opened in 1042.
Dinosaurs still drink their.
Pterodactyls still nest in the chimney, I think, the cider is quite nice.
Leeds hadnt even been thought about then.
And know its gone, Finedon is still here but not for much longer.
PS
It still sports slaves.

Hi Lee thanks for the video. That pub looks really interesting. Like the cave room. Loved it. Meal, pie was nice looking. Chips looked fine to me. Gravy needed to be a tad thicker.

Over priced for what you got and £4.10 for a diet coke
I would have forgone the vinegar and just covered the chips in gravy .
Your good at these tour style video Lee and got to say Nottingham looks a lot nicer than my town centre of Huddersfield (understatement)lol
The World Service restaurant is closing soon apparently. No-one left to pay those prices. It was supposed to be good though by all reports.
I think that the World Service Restaurant was about to close down permanently... a shame because the meals in there were gorgeous.

I loved this one Lee thankyou. I always wanted to go there
It's just for tourists mate real nottingham won't eat drink their (pub is a public house inn is where you get accommodation)
An Inn has lodgings , a pub doesn't .
The Old Ferry Boat Inn and the Porch House are both reported to be older than this place
The guy who touched the ship and died, died at 110!!!!!
thought you’d give it a 7.5. Would love to visit that Inn. Looks wonderful !
Frozen pie frozen chips and veg powder gravy! 8.8! You're going soft Lee. The suet taste you were picking up was the pie that was microwaved in plastic.
What did the burnt lettuce taste like? 😂
Prices and Costs are down to the man, You can go to Dan the Van kerbside cafe and get pie and chips, for £4 or you can go to Ye Olde Jerusalam and pay £19

Real gravy isn't that crap instant nonsense YOU buy in the tubs! Clearly never ever eaten real gravy.

Pie & Mash, the name is in the title. Looked lovely, that cabbage was perfect for me. Now it must be cheaper to drink local ale than diet coke these days.
Your always banging on about Leeds Mansfield lee🤣🤣🤣
There’s no such thing as a cost of living crisis airports are packed planes are full.
A bit weird serving a wedge of Cabbage with pie and chips. . But, It is the oldest Inn in England after all ..
The pub itself looks very interesting.
Only one thing missing from that, and that's plenty of Henderson's relish all.over the pie and chips...👍👍👍
Mate, Hendo's would turn a turd into a banquet 👍👍👍
£4.10 for a large diet coke is crazy. Tesco do a 2 litre bottle of Diet Coke for £1.85. Approx 3.5 pints in a 2 litre bottle so that would make the bottle £14.35 and they probably buy draught for a lot less than bottles.
Places need to make profits but taking advantage of drivers and people who don't drink alcohol is rather unfair.
Try an alcohol free beer next time Lee, probably, nicer and cheaper and you can tell us what you think!

I think you can still visit the caves under Broasdmarsh center. I remember there were some under the Salutation too.
They are not triple cooked chips they are inexpensive frozen chips.
I visited the Sawyers Arms in Paddington and had the same meal earlier in the month. Wasn't previously aware of the Greene King brand but was impressed. Food more good value for money, was about same price a street away from Paddington Station but importantly the pub didn't feel like a chain, more like an independent and preserved perfectly with quirky pieces (Nods to Paddington Bear obviously). Would def visit others, I think they can lose that lettuce wedge with the pie mind (pointless), didn't think much of the gravy either but my chips were good and pie above average and meal a decent potion. On point with their brand and hopefully they will grow as a brand, maintaining the values of being a somewhat undercover brand.
Been in that pub/inn around 2000, I wanted to live in there, ace place.
But always liked stony oak beamed rustic type pubs and inns etc, also Lendal Cellars in York is a favourite.
Gaz Yorkshire.
Nice one Lee 😊😊😊😊
Went from Leeds to the Trip in the 70s, and in one of the cavernous areas of the inn was a bull's ring hanging from the ceiling and a bull's horn on the side wall. The idea being to swing the ring over the horn. Is it still there?
Put the pound sign on the bill Lee! Great vid mate!!
Wow love the history still intact in nothingham. The streets look really nice withrhe cobble stone.
Food looks ok to me. . I am not that fussy. But certainly over priced. £16 ahead for a main meal is the average now as we spent that away on our 50th anniversary last year. Dinner for two cost us £40 a night. Thanks for review.
The Trip was privately owned about 25 years ago by the same family for over 100 years and it was sold to Kimberley brewery I believe.
Do some more Quirky pubs with strange history and odd things in them try to find the stranges?
The Ye Olde Salutation Inn in Nottingham also claims to be the Oldest pub, It also has Caves below it as well. They are supposed to let you visit the Caves during slack periods! You did not film the Trips cave room up stairs.
Many businesses went to the wall. They never returned. Many high streets are depleted now. The indoor market in MerthyrTydfil has half it's stalls closed.. Footfall has collapsed, but new cafes and restaurants keep opening in the high street. Plus Turkish hairdressers. 3 of them next to each other yet alone the others. Then nail bars have appeared..
Got to launder the money somehow.
Always meant to ask if you knew Alan Bentley who was the print room manager at the evening post, he was a good friend, I spent an afternoon at the evening post and may have met you in the office when you were a yoof lol! Would be late 1980s/ early 1990s. Nottingham was a great place to stop on the canal on my narrow boat and go for a curry and a pint in the pub you were in.
The pie is the same one that can be had in the 2 meals for £12ish in Greene Kings Sizzler chain (same group). Not the same as the Trip for atmosphere though which I think is very touristy.
Yes. WE go to The Bowman in Hucknall Nottingham and two main courses for £12.45 The gammon sizzler is to die for. 2courses and a bottle of wine £23 !
'Put the pound sign on, we know its in pounds' ... hang on a sec, if you know it's in pounds, why do you need the pound sign? Saves ink and saves the planet one inky pound sign at a time!
Lee you can buy the same meal in Chester for £7.40 and the chips are home made mate
