Whatever the historical significance
of this pub, it’s been modernised too much inside to retain its traditions. A
large lounge with a variety of comfortable open seating dominates with benches
towards the walls for those who wish to pull up and dominate the room, while a
small wooden room at the rear is for more private conversation. The walls are
full of brewery memorabilia and pictures of old Arnold pubs; but other than
that timber is the main theme here. There’s also a mahogany dining room that we
never got to see, as the pub was very busy. You could certainly see the weary
traveller wandering in, as the beer was in great condition and there was a lot
of choice from the Lincoln Green range. The pub may be on the outskirts of
Nottingham, but it’s in the very centre of the suburb that it is in. And there’s
no robin Hood memorabilia anywhere.
