Josephine's Tea Lounge & Bistro

Josephine's Tea Lounge & Bistro is an elegant tearoom and bistro in central Nottingham, directly opposite the Theatre Royal. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

Dogs are welcome inside, making it a useful city-centre stop for brunch, lunch or a proper afternoon tea with your dog alongside you. The menu covers breakfast, light lunches and full afternoon tea service, so whether you're fuelling up before a show or settling in after a morning around town, there's food to match. The setting is polished and relaxed, with generous opening hours Tuesday to Sunday.

The central location near the theatres and shops makes it easy to drop in without a detour and the welcome is warm. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.
