Architectural Marvel in Lace Market

Nestled on High Pavement in Nottingham's historic Lace Market, Pitcher & Piano resides within a Grade II-listed Victorian Gothic church, once the Unitarian Church. This deconsecrated space has been thoughtfully restored, preserving its soaring arches, intricate stained-glass windows, and atmospheric stonework. The conversion masterfully fuses reverence with revelry, creating a venue where grand scale feels intimate through clever zoning with Chesterfield sofas, vintage bric-a-brac, and candlelit chandeliers. The main hall's vastness is tempered by warm lighting and plush furnishings, evoking a sense of timeless elegance amid the city's vibrant heritage district.

Culinary Journey from Dawn to Dusk

The all-day menu caters to every mood, from morning coffee and brunch to midnight cocktails. Indulge in modern British and European pub classics: crispy chicken dishes, squeaky halloumi flatbreads, hearty sandwiches like fish finger brioche, and sharing plates bursting with flavour. Sunday roasts offer a comforting tradition, while lighter salads and small plates pair perfectly with drinks. Portions are generous, emphasising reliable quality that complements the setting without overshadowing it.

Cocktail Craft and Beverage Bounty

Pitcher & Piano shines with its creative drinks list. Expert mixologists craft signature cocktails, with weekday 2-for-1 deals adding allure. Explore a global wine selection, boutique beers, and Aperol Spritz or Prosecco during bottomless brunches. The bar evolves with the day: bright and airy for lunches, dimmed and pulsing with music for evenings. A former confessional booth repurposed as a photo booth adds playful whimsy to the libations.

Atmospheric Shifts and Social Spaces

Daytime brings a light-filled haven for relaxed gatherings, with outdoor terrace options soaking up Lace Market views. As evening descends, the vibe electrifies—music rises, lights lower, drawing diverse crowds for celebrations, dates, or group nights out. Private hire areas like the Altar under stained glass, Mezzanine with panoramic views, and air-conditioned Terrace Bar suit intimate events or larger parties, all no-hire-fee. Dance floor, staging, and onsite catering enhance versatility.

Historic Context and Modern Revival

High Pavement places this gem amid Nottingham's medieval churches and lace heritage sites. The church's Gothic bones—exposed brick, high ceilings—contrast cheekily repurposed elements, blurring sacred and social. Newly refurbished interiors amplify its role as a social hub, from breakfast meetings to knees-up parties, embodying the city's blend of history and hedonism. This unique transformation ensures every visit feels bespoke.
