About the pub

This is an iconic venue in Nottingham City Centre. Pitcher & Piano Nottingham is set inside an old church with some of the original features still in place. It's a busy vibrant bar with two levels and a beer garden with its own outside bar. It is located in a high footfall area so there is plenty of opportunity to increase trade.

The bar operates as a stylish, all-day bar and restaurant catering to a diverse customer base. Its business model revolves around:

1. Contemporary, casual dining menu including brunch, lunch, and dinner
2. Signature cocktails, wines, craft beers, and premium spirits
3. Popular bottomless brunch
4. Tourists drawn to the unique venue
5. After-work crowd and weekend nightlife-goers
6. Vibrant social hub in the evenings with DJ sets and cocktails
7. Private hire for parties, corporate events, and celebrations

The venue attracts a mix of young professionals and office workers, after-work drinks crowd, students & young adults (especially evenings & weekends), university students and young professionals, couples & groups (dinner & brunch) and customers enjoying the nightlife scene across late evenings and weekends.

There is opportunity to grow the business with a sales focus around bookable spaces, utilising our outside meeting space, growing the after work social occasion and maximising Saturdays. We are looking for a highly branded, wet led, late night operator with experience. The current estimated weekly sales are £35-£40k per week (75/25 Wet led) and can be grown to over £100k per week at Christmas time.
