Historic Setting Transformed into a Social Hub

Pitcher & Piano Nottingham is set inside the former Unitarian Church on High Pavement, a Grade II listed Victorian Gothic building. This striking architectural gem has been carefully converted into a stylish bar and restaurant that retains its historic charm while offering a lively, contemporary atmosphere. The soaring ceilings, magnificent stained glass windows, and exposed brick archways create an impressive and atmospheric backdrop that blends reverence with revelry.

A Unique Atmosphere Balancing Grandeur and Intimacy

The vastness of the church interior could have posed a challenge for creating a cosy environment, but thoughtful design and lighting create a space that feels both grand and intimate. As daylight fades, the venue transforms with dimmed lights and upbeat music, cultivating an electric vibe that draws a diverse crowd—from couples enjoying romantic dates to groups celebrating special occasions.

Culinary Offerings That Complement the Ambience

Pitcher & Piano Nottingham’s menu features modern British and European pub classics, designed to accompany the social experience rather than overshadow it. From small sharing plates to hearty mains and brunch options, the food is flavourful and generously portioned. Notable dishes include crisp, juicy chicken, squeaky halloumi, and standout flatbreads. The creative cocktail list, including weekday 2-for-1 offers, alongside a selection of boutique beers and wines, rounds out the culinary experience.

Versatile Spaces for Every Occasion

The venue offers four distinct private hire areas, including the Altar—a semi-private space beneath the iconic stained glass window—ideal for intimate events. The venue caters seamlessly to a range of occasions, from casual lunches and after-work drinks to corporate events and lively weekend parties, with no hire charge and onsite catering available.
