Company description
Biscuit & Brew is a little family-owned tea house based in Nottingham city centre.

When we're not brewing loose leaf, we're baking cakes & scones, preparing a range of breakfasts and lunches that tread the line between nostalgia and novelty, by inventing new delicious recipes and putting modern twists on classic British foods.
