Many fond memories. I met my husband at the tavern 22 years ago.
Was best pub around in it’s day. It needs a uplift and spending some money on it like willobrook and gelding in .its a shame
Best pub in the borough to go to in the 90 early ’00 when Dot was top boss… brilliant pub in its day, let’s hope it can be again
Remember going in the side door off Adbolton to by a bottle, the Saturday night disco with Tony, and Dot running the pub with respect.
Tony is my dad!
The first published in had a pint in, what a shame
It’s been along time coming! It was bad when I first went in and it’s gone down hill from there. Now it’s got staff that can’t be bothered. I’ve been expecting this closure for a long time
Lived just up the road for 14 years was involved with the football team, the pool team and the darts team, best pub in Nottingham ran by the best landlady affectionately known as Robodot, many happy memories, shame it’s closing. Bill Scott. AKA Geordie Bill.
I could tell a few stories. My mum ran this pub for 35 years. So many memories over the years, I was only 8 when we moved in, I’ve seen so many staff and customers come and go. I’ve seen Dot, as you all know her, cuff a few round the ear hole and throw many a big bloke out. Few dared to argue. A bit of a legend in her time.
My mum Paula worked there as a cleaner and barmaid while my dad Tony was the DJ. Loved Dot xx
Have many memories of the Tavern, Held my 21st Birthday party there, one of my wedding receptions there, and much later, going there on a Saturday lunch with my mum for lunch, met lots of mates there, Steve G, Brian B, Grenville S Alex S, Paula B, I lived just up the road on Newcastle Ave.
Happy days.
I lived in Newcastle Avenue and both my parents worked there. My dad was Tony the DJ. Many happy memories as a kid and an adult
With the Willowbrook, Old Volunteer and the Gedling Inn thriving the Tavern may be feeling the impact.
It needs to be decorated like the old volunteer I love that place but i do feel its to small .This place would be so ideal as it’s spacious but it needs the atmosphere like volo then it would do wonders!!!!!
Have a look around the country at estate pubs , they are disappearing and retirement homes or complexes for the elderly being built on the sites .So the good news is you might be able to revisit the Wessy again one day
