You barge into: Ye Olde Trip

Presiding Ghost, Friar Tuck

Name has been written"

Ah,
we are here, having a pint at the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem Pub! As
we look around at the old banknotes on the wall, see the ancient rooms carved
right into the rock below Nottingham Castle, we can
believe that this pub was established in 1189, the date that King Richard I the
Lionheart was crowned. On some nights, the pub was filled with Richard's
knights, assembling to set forth to the Holy Land. Later, in the reign of
"Bad" King John, (after 1199) it was not unlikely that Robin and Friar
Tuck would stop by in starlight, as we have, to see what mischief was
afoot. The origin of the word "Trip" comes from the old English
"trip" or "trypp" - meaning to halt or stop. And so we
shall, for a while, to see if we experience any of the strange events that have
been reported here: soldiers walking though walls, glasses flying off the
shelves, strange letters of a Name appearing out of nowhere.
About the Pub
Trip to Jerusalem
1 Brewhouse Yard, Castle Road, City Centre. Totally unique public house. Reputed to be the oldest inn in England (CE 1189). A unique pub hewn out of the castle rock. Adorning the bar area is a collection
of foreign bank notes. This is well worth a visit.
