Arpita Anstey, Marketing Director at the Island Quarter, said: “Our goal at Cleaver & Wake is to always offer an exquisite experience for our guests to enjoy the best in food and drink.

“This new partnership with Veuve Clicquot, is a natural evolution of the Cleaver brand and marks an exciting step for us, as we continue to make a name for ourselves as one of the city’s foremost independent luxury destinations.   “Our unique canalside location is perfect for enhancing with a dedicated outdoor space, and we look forward to welcoming people from across Nottingham who are in search of somewhere chic to relax this summer and beyond.”

The champagne bar is now open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday. Tables are available for walk-ins and can also be booked by calling the reception team.   Arpita added: “While it can be enjoyed exclusively as a champagne bar for drinks only, guests who are dining with us at Cleaver & Wake are also invited to visit before or after their meal.

“We know how much our indoor cocktail bar adds to the experience for our guests, but the launch of our new outdoor space offers a new way for visitors to enjoy the Cleaver experience.”
