The Hutt

This beautiful 15th century country pub stands opposite the splendid Grade I Listed Newstead Abbey and its glorious grounds in the very heart of ancient Sherwood Forest. Serving travellers on the King’s Highway from Nottingham to Mansfield since medieval times, The Hutt was built in 1400 on the site where King John’s ‘Royal Hutt’ had stood, housing the foresters who protected the King’s deer. By the 17th century it was a coaching inn and a welcome refuge for merchants to gather before braving the notorious Thieves Wood.

From its imposing stone archway to its low, exposed beams and private nooks and crannies, this atmospheric and historic inn offers a truly memorable experience for guests. After enjoying the history, grandeur and romance of Newstead Abbey, former home of romantic poet Lord Byron, visitors can savour the atmosphere and relax with a delicious Sunday lunch or a seasonal special from the extensive pub menu served at The Hutt.
