New
openings/pub news:
Robin Hood,
Sherwood Now
re-opened under the Pub People Company banner.
Ropewalk, Canning Circus
Now back in business with a good choice of real ales.
After promising so much early in the year and let
down badly by their parent company, the guys have
managed to get back to similar levels of choice so
get up there and try them out. You won't be disappointed.
Look out for a Canning Circus Ale Festival in the
new year.
Major Oak Formerly
the Hogs Head has had a minor refurbishment and re-branding.
Still great ales available. Find it on Victoria Street/Pelham
Street, behind the Market Square Council House.
Visit the Pit & Pendulum at the same
time (see above).
Stag Inn at Kimberley
is now on the SIBA scheme, and hopes to get Local
beers in on a regular basis, (although this may not
mean on a permanent basis). First beers on were Dancing
Duck; Ay Up, and Flipside; Copper Penny.
Trent Navigation, Iremonger
Road, Meadow Lane, Nottingham re-opened 5th August,
under the Great Northern Inns banner and complements
its sister pubs The Globe,
across the canal on London Road and Southbank,
just over Trent Bridge. With the newly opened Trent
Bridge Inn the beer choice in the
Trent Bridge area is now worth seeking out.
If you are visiting the city for football, cricket
(try also the Larwood
& Voce at the back of the ground)
or rugby then you do not have to travel very far from
the grounds for good real ale.
Navigation,
Wilford Street, Nottingham Re-opened Saturday 2nd
July. Now showcasing some good music, with real ales,
give it a try and encouragement.
Re-opened under the Pub People Company on Wednesday
7th July, The Waggon
& Horses at Redhill with 5 beers.
Lunchtime food includes real chips, to go with the
beer.
Canning Circus has another real ale
venue, this time directly owned by a brewery; Blue
Monkey. The Organ Grinder,
replacing the Red Lion on Alfreton Road. It is open
noon to 11pm (12 if custom) daily. One not to be missed
- but try the Canning
Circus Crawl while you are there.
Try also the Hole in
the Wall, Sherwood street. Now re-opened
it had 3 real ales to start with.
Yew Tree
in Hucknall has started having real ale, at only £2.40/pint.
Give it a go and encourage more beers to be added. |

Online
Guide & Data Base |

Volunteer

Please
send an email and we will contact you with details
to: |

We
are currently creating a new online guide and
pubs database. You can access this from the
following link www.whatpub.org
. Type Nottingham in the Town field and you
will get a list of pubs, click on the pub to
view details. The listing at the moment is incomplete
many without much detail and a warning of being
out of date, but we are working diligently to
bring this up to a full list of Nottingham and
district pubs (including non real ale pubs).
You will notice it also serves Cheshire, Wigan,
Chesterfield and parts of South & West London.
The aim is for a common guide and data base
across branch areas, and we hope that more branches
will sign up to the system in the near future.

site, ways ideas to improve it or comments on
what you do not like about it then please contact

WARNING
- I put many links to other sites especially
on the links pages. Unfortunately external sites
can and do without warning stop working, due to
them un expectantly closing or moving and I have
no control over this. So if in the future you

re establish the link or remove it. |
