Found inside the converted Unitarian Church in Nottingham's Lace Market, the bar and restaurant, located on High Pavement has been sympathetically renovated to make the most of its incredible architecture.
High Pavement Chapel stopped being a place of worship for Unitarians in 1982 when it was converted into the Nottingham Lace Museum. The Grade II listed building was converted into the Pitcher & Piano in 1998.
The building sometimes affectionately known as 'Little St Marys' has links to a number of famous writers including Lord Bryon and D.H. Lawrence. Pitcher & Piano has a string (or should that be key) of great reviews on TripAdvisor, with customers praising the staff, food, value and atmosphere.

The restaurant has a packed menu with a variety of tasty dishes ranging from nachos to Flamkuche and epic burgers. The venue also offers an extensive bottomless brunch menu for £36 per head.
The venue even hosts themed bottomless brunches with previous themes including the noughties, drag and Disney. As the name suggests the bar also has an impressive grand piano, filling the church with lively and soulful sounds.
