About us

A proper village pub — with a few surprises out back.

Ye Olde Bridge Inn sits on Nottingham Road in Oxton, a quiet village just outside Southwell in Nottinghamshire. We're the kind of place where families bring the kids and the dog on a Sunday afternoon — and where couples come back to celebrate something special in one of our outdoor dining domes.

We've earned over 1,263 Google reviews and a 4.4-star rating by keeping things real: good food, a genuine welcome, and a space that works for everything from a quiet mid-week dinner to a birthday the whole family will remember.

What sets us apart

Dome dining pods

Our private outdoor dining domes come dressed with fairy lights, floral decor, and personal Bluetooth speakers. Whether it's a date night or a small group celebration, you get a space that feels entirely your own — whatever the weather.

The Converted Stables

Our private event space is available for hire — birthdays, baby showers, wakes, and more. The Stables is a characterful room with the atmosphere of the pub and the privacy of a venue that's yours for the evening.

Events worth coming back for

We run outdoor cinema nights, live music evenings, yoga classes, and craft workshops throughout the year. There's always something happening at the Bridge — follow us to stay in the loop.

Families and dogs welcome

We have a children's play area, a beer garden, and terraces that work whatever the season. Dogs are welcome too — bring them along. We have a kids' menu and a full vegan and vegetarian menu alongside our main kitchen.
