The Old Vol

The Old Vol is a classy village pub with a great and well-considered food offering. It’s as friendly as you’d expect from a village pub but attracts those from outside the area who seek contemporary dining and an exciting menu.

Head chef Andy Goodbourn’s Sunday Roasts have won awards and Jack Pearce was voted as Best Young Chef of Nottingham in 2019.

Dishes include: 8oz Dry-aged fillet steak, pomme purée, green kale, parsnip purée, roast mushroom and beef jus; pan-roasted cod, cauliflower purée, sea vegetables, mussels, bacon crumb and celeriac wellington with creamed sprouts and herb oil. Desserts are inventive (Hira’s Masterchef-inspired Yuzu and lemon posset gets our vote) and cocktails are equally tempting and beautifully presented.

But if you’re simply after a pint in a warm and friendly pub, you won’t be disappointed either.
