This imposing grey and white building is prominently positioned at a major road junction. Inside there is a central bar with seating areas on all four sides. There is a mix of wooden tables and upholstered benches/settles. The mix of tiled, wood and carpeted flooring is complemented by old prints on the walls.The pastel grey painted bar still retains its traditional long brass foot rest. Good selection of bottled 'craft' beers.
Historic Interest
The Grosvenor was built on the site of an earlier beerhouse called the Black's Head, both names apparently connected to the horse racing on the nearby Forest Racecourse. It has been suggested that name Grosvenor was that of a winning race horse in 1890. A statue of the horse used to adorn the top of a small gatehouse (Whitworth 2010). However, the name predates 1890 and in 1881, the Grosvenor was fully licensed under John H. Williamson (Wright). It seems more likely that the pub was originally named for Hugh Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster who was Master of the Horse (1880-1885) and a famous horse breeder and racer at the time. The Grosvenor is a late Victorian building in Nottingham City Council's Sherwood Rise Conservation Area. Asset of Community Value registered 26th May 2016 and nominated by the Nottingham Branch of CAMRA. [Nottingham City Council, Berridge Ward / Nottingham East Parliamentary Constituency]
