“A Sunday roast isn’t just a meal. It’s an occasion — and the countryside pub is exactly where it belongs.”

Sunday lunch at a proper country pub is one of those British traditions that never gets old. There’s something about the combination of a crackling fire (or a sun-drenched beer garden, depending on the season), good company, and a plate piled high with the best of the week’s cooking that feels genuinely irreplaceable.

At Ye Olde Bridge in Oxton, Sunday is the main event. We take our roasts seriously — quality meat, proper gravy, roast potatoes that actually crunch, and all the trimmings done the way they should be. Whether it’s a family gathering, a post-walk treat, a lazy afternoon with friends, or just you and the dog settling in for the afternoon, we’re ready for you.

Choose your roast

We rotate our roast selection weekly to make the most of what’s seasonal and at its best. Expect to find a choice of classic Sunday favourites, with options for meat lovers and non-meat eaters alike.

🥩

Roast Beef

Slow-roasted topside, carved thick, with rich beef gravy and a proper Yorkshire pudding.

🍗

Roast Chicken

Free range, golden-skinned and tender all the way through. The Sunday classic for good reason.

🐷

Roast Pork

With proper crackling, apple sauce and sage & onion stuffing. Every bit as good as it sounds.

🌿

Vegetarian

A thoughtful, seasonal vegetarian roast — not an afterthought. Always something worth ordering.

Check in with us or keep an eye on our socials to find out what’s on the menu each Sunday — we like to keep things seasonal and fresh, so the line-up changes throughout the year.

Why Sunday at Ye Olde Bridge is worth the drive

A proper countryside setting

Tucked into the village of Oxton, surrounded by Nottinghamshire farmland, this is the kind of pub that makes Sunday lunch feel like a genuine occasion rather than a refuelling stop.

Dogs at the table

Your four-legged Sunday companion is as welcome as you are — in the bar, the dining pods, the beer garden and out on the terraces. Water bowls on hand throughout.

The beer garden & terraces

On a fine Sunday, our sun-soaked terraces and beer garden are some of the nicest places in Nottinghamshire to linger over a roast and a cold drink. Summer Sundays don’t get much better.

The bar & dining pods

When the weather has other ideas, the bar is warm, welcoming and full of the right atmosphere. Or settle into one of our cosy dining pods for something a little more private.

Perfect after a walk

Head out on the Nottinghamshire bridleways first — the lanes around Oxton, the Southwell Trail or Sherwood Pines are all nearby — and let the roast be your reward.

Great for groups & families

Sunday roast is a family occasion, and we’re set up for it. From big family gatherings to birthday lunches, get in touch about larger tables and we’ll look after you.

Finish it off properly

No Sunday roast is truly complete without something sweet to finish. Our dessert menu keeps things classic — think sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce, proper crumbles with proper custard, and something chocolatey for those who need it. All made in-house and all worth saving room for.

And of course, no Sunday afternoon is complete without something good to drink. Our bar has a well-chosen selection of real ales, craft beers, wines and soft drinks — plus all the classics. The Sunday session is one of life’s genuine pleasures, and we think you should be able to make an afternoon of it.
