The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie

The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie has settled comfortably into the city centre, the sort of place where shoppers, theatre-goers and office regulars all seem to cross paths over a Martini or a well-timed steak.

Housed among Nottingham’s historic streets, it balances a sense of occasion with an easy, all‑day feel, making it a natural choice for everything from leisurely brunches to late suppers.

Against this backdrop, its private dining rooms offer a quieter, more focused way to gather a crowd, whether you are planning a celebration, a client dinner or a family get‑together anywhere in Nottingham or the wider East Midlands.

Private dining at The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie

The Lace Room

The Lace Room is the headline act: a tranquil oasis just off the main restaurant, with enough separation to feel genuinely private while still borrowing a little of the buzz outside.

Inspired by Nottingham’s lace‑making heritage, it has a soft, elegant character that suits both intimate celebrations and slightly grander gatherings. Seating up to 30 guests for a private lunch or dinner, it also works well for standing receptions of up to 50, where canapés, cocktails and easy conversation take centre stage.

The room’s styling nods to the city’s past without feeling like a theme – decorative details, gentle lighting and comfortable seating combine to create a calm backdrop that flatters everything from birthday dinners and engagement parties to small corporate events and networking evenings. It is the sort of space where guests tend to relax quickly, which is half the battle with any group event.

The Outlaw Room

For smaller occasions, The Outlaw Room offers a more intimate option. Tucked away from the main dining area, it seats up to 10 guests and feels well judged for discreet business lunches, team dinners or family celebrations where you want everyone around one table. There is a pleasing sense of being slightly apart from the action, without losing the atmosphere of the brasserie itself.

Both rooms benefit from The Ivy’s familiar approach to food and service: crowd‑pleasing menus, thoughtful pacing and a team used to looking after groups. Whether you are arranging a special celebration in Nottingham, a working lunch with clients, or a private gathering drawing guests from across the East Midlands, the private dining rooms at The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie offer polished, good‑looking spaces that make hosting feel reassuringly straightforward.
