A much-loved Nottingham pub has been restored to its former glory - and the caves are looking magnificent. The red-tiled floor remains but the decor has been spruced up. Outside has gone from burgundy paintwork to hague blue, while inside has had a makeover with new wallpaper that looks like vintage tiles on the walls at the front that aren't caves, and new tables and chairs. The bar has gone back to where it used to be decades before, offering a choice of 6 handpulls. The rear cave, which used to be the restaurant, is as atmospheric as ever, with twinkling lights up above and a mixture of seating, from intimate tables for two to long benches for groups.
Contempory food including tapas is served everywhere with the menu rotating every four weeks and on a Sunday is roast only rather than full menu.
Historic Interest
Dates back to at least the 1860s when the caves were used to store and mature beer. In 1879 the Hand & Heart was a beer house under Wm. Thos. Fisher (Wright).
The pub stopped brewing its own beers in 1933. By 1949, it was part of the Bradley's estate after which is became a Shipstones pub until the mid-1990s.
The Hand & Heart is located in Nottingham City Council's Canning Circus Conservation Area.
The cave cellars have been used as an air raid shelter and measure 11m x 20m. [Referenced MNU 136 and BGS Dd6].
