Distiller, politician, cricket player and benefactor, we’ve remained true to our founder William’s ideals of what a great pub should be, since 1873. A warm and welcoming pub, where people can live life to the fullest in beautiful buildings that have a lively atmosphere and are positively brimming with character.
Join us on a Sunday to indulge in the heartiest roasts with your friends and family, including all your favourite pub food dishes.
Each individual pub is either a pie or fish house so be sure to check out which speciality menu your local Nicholson’s is offering.
Whichever pub you visit, each one has its own distinctive warmth, genuine service and vibrant atmosphere within its historic walls.
Take your pick from our extensive selection of perfectly cooked meats. From the 21-day aged roast beef, tender roast chicken, succulent slow-cooked pork belly, and let's not forget the plant-based goodness of our vegetarian nut roast.
Enjoy home-cooked and flavoursome vegetables, like crispy roast potatoes, honey-glazed parsnips, glazed Chantenay carrots, steamed greens, crunchy Yorkshire Puddings, and gravy (of course).
