This year, Nicholson’s Pub Collection celebrates 150 years of their iconic British pubs. They boast some of the most beautiful and ornate pubs across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each pub serves a superb range of cask ales – including their own Nicholson’s Pale Ale brewed by St Austell Brewery in Cornwall.
Since founder William Nicholson opened the collection’s first pub in 1873, Nicholson’s have been the epitome of the Great British pub, with warm hospitality and quality food and drink.
