Sacred Spaces Reimagined

Step into the hallowed halls of the former Unitarian Church on High Pavement, where towering arches and intricate stained-glass windows whisper tales of Nottingham's Victorian past. This Grade II-listed building, once a place of solemn worship, now pulses with contemporary energy as Pitcher & Piano. Exposed brickwork and restored candle holders frame a space that masterfully fuses reverence with revelry, creating an intimate yet grand atmosphere amid the Lace Market's historic charm.

Atmospheric All-Day Allure

From morning light filtering through colourful panes to evening shadows dancing across chesterfield sofas, the venue shifts seamlessly throughout the day. Cosy booths invite leisurely brunches, while the expansive main hall buzzes during after-work hours. Vintage bric-a-brac and playful repurposed elements, like a confessional turned photo booth, add quirky charm to the Gothic framework, making every visit feel uniquely layered.

Culinary Harmony in Heritage

The all-day menu celebrates modern British and European pub classics, from sharing flatbreads and hearty mains to light salads and sandwiches. Generous portions of crisp chicken, squeaky halloumi, and flavourful brunch dishes complement the setting without overshadowing it. Sunday roasts provide a hearty tradition, perfectly suited to reclining with newspapers under the church's vaulted ceiling.

Cocktails and Curated Sips

Elevate your experience with an exceptional wine list spanning dry to fruity profiles, boutique beers, and a cocktail repertoire of timeless classics alongside inventive house creations. Crafted with premium spirits, these drinks turn simple gatherings into memorable nights. Weekday specials enhance accessibility, inviting discerning palates to savour amid the venue's luminous backdrop.

Evening Transformation

As lights dim and music rises, the space evolves into a dynamic bar, alive with diverse crowds celebrating birthdays or unwinding. The sheer scale of the hall, once a worship space, now fosters electric energy, blurring lines between cosy intimacy and atmospheric drama. This metamorphosis cements Pitcher & Piano as Nottingham's party landmark, ideal for everything from intimate dates to lively group outings.

Heritage Heart of Lace Market

Positioned in the creative Lace Market district, surrounded by medieval churches and lace industry murals, the venue anchors itself in Nottingham's rich tapestry. Its restoration honours architectural legacy while embracing modern hospitality, offering a backdrop that's as photogenic as it is functional for socialising.
