Famous for Ale & Gin

Our founder, William Nicholson, knew a thing or two about gin and Gin Palaces. He ran the family gin distillery and picked only the finest pubs to serve it in. We keep his tradition alive with our selection of modern, aromatic gins, all served with the perfect tonic and garnish.

We also take our cask ale seriously at Nicholson’s which is why you’ll always find a host of seasonal and regionally sourced cask ales on our hand pulls. Pop into one of our traditional pubs dotted along our [ale trails] and you'll find yourself in a quintessentially British pub with a colourful history and a bar full of the finest real ales.

World of Whisky

When it's time to get convivial, head for The Blackfriar. In our historic surroundings, laughter and conversation flow freely. And the drink in your glass tastes as fresh and vibrant as the climate under which its makers gathered their ingredients.
