About The Willow Tree
The Willow Tree is a warm and welcoming, family-run pub in the heart of West Bridgford.
We’re the Gadsby family from Bestwood Estate, and thanks our Grandad Dennis Nicholson, we’ve taken on our first pub together.
Dennis, a lifelong Nottingham Forest fan and pub enthusiast, would be proud to see his legacy bringing people together in a place built on community spirit.
The Willow Tree is more than just a pub - it’s a family affair. Kelly and Jason Gadsby are your new hosts, joined by their children and extended family.
About Our Staff
Our son-in-law Ash Doyle, with nearly a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, is our Manager, and our daughter Georgia, who’s worked in pubs across Nottingham, is preparing to welcome the newest member of the family.
Maisie Jai runs our social media, Mckenzie helps in the kitchen, and even our youngest, Megan Eve, is part of the team.
We’re proud to say that our staff are like extended family to us - friendly, welcoming, and deeply committed to making The Willow Tree a place where everyone feels at home.
We’re keeping the heart of The Willow Tree alive, a place where everyone feels welcome even your four-legged friends, whether you're here for a quiet pint, a chat at the bar, or a lively kids’ party.
With familiar faces and a strong community foundation, we’re excited to grow together and make this a true local gem.
Come in, say hello, and be part of our story.
