Got a big group to entertain in Nottingham? From the trendy bars of Hockley to the classic pubs in Lace Market or a cosy spot in West Bridgford, you've got some great options. These pubs for large groups have plenty of room for everyone, offering private spaces, outdoor seating, and menus packed with local favourites. If you're planning a grand celebration or just an excuse to get the gang together, Nottingham's pubs for groups are ready with drinks, delicious food, and a great atmosphere to ensure you and your crowd have a great night out.
On average, hire fees for pubs typically start at around £50 per hour for medium-sized spaces, while venues with minimum spend options range from £100 to £5,000 per session, depending on the size and services offered. You can also find venues with all-day hire fees averaging between £150 and £500 per day. (All data from Tagvenue.)
You should consider the pub's capacity to ensure it accommodates your group comfortably. Look for venues with private areas to allow for presentations or networking sessions. In addition, check if the venue offers multimedia equipment, such as projectors or screens, which can be crucial for business events. Finally, think about catering options—many pubs offer full-service catering, but it's worth checking if they allow external catering for more flexible options.
Nottingham's City Centre is a good place to start. Lace Market is a great location if you want a mix of history and style—this area is known for its charming cobbled streets and converted warehouses, giving the pubs a trendy, yet historic vibe. Head over to Hockley for something more diverse—it's Nottingham's artsy quarter with fun pubs that can handle larger crowds, and it's perfect if you're after an alternative scene. The Arboretum is a bit quieter but has pubs with more outdoor space, which is great when you want something a bit more relaxed but still central. And if you don't mind being slightly out of the way, New Basford is more peaceful, having larger pubs without the hustle and bustle of the city centre—plus, parking is easier there.
