We dug into Google reviews to find the highest-rated spots across Hucknall and Bulwell where the beer is cold, the welcome is warm, and if you’re lucky enough, the log fire is roaring.
From the The Hideout in Hucknall, a finalist in the CAMRA Real Ale Pub of the Year Nottingham, to Bulwell’s The Royal Oak, an old-school local boozer with plenty of traditional charm, these are the ultimate winter pubs to escape the chill.

9. Ego at The Old Ashfield
Kirkby Rd, Sutton-in-Ashfield NG17 8HX: This beautifully converted historic pub offers a slightly more modern yet deeply comfortable and warm environment. It is a fantastic spot if you want to pair a chilly winter evening with premium Mediterranean food, cocktails, and real cask ales. It was given 4.5 stars out of 2.9 reviews. Photo: Google
