Nottingham House, Broomhill

The Nottingham House in Broomhill, known affectionately as the Notty, has just been refurbished bringing a nice freshness to the place without affecting the atmosphere. An outside drinking area with potted plants makes the area welcoming, and inside, nearly every corner, shelf and window ledge has a plant, shrub or fern growing, some of which seem to be getting bigger every visit. There is a dartboard, pool table and an interesting selection of board games. The pub is noted for its wide range of homemade pies which go down well with Abbeydale Moonshine (4.3%), Timothy Taylor Landlord (4.3%), Sharp’s Doom Bar (4.0%) and a rotating guest beer.  Buses 51, 52 and 52a pass just outside the door.
