This February, The Nuthatch celebrates Margarita Month in the heart of Middlesbrough.

Whether you’re planning a relaxed catch-up with friends, a date night with a twist, or simply looking for an excuse to try something new, our handcrafted margaritas and much-loved Charcuterie & Cheese boards set the perfect scene. Expect a specially curated menu of ten margaritas, from bright and classic to playful and unexpected, all mixed with the same care and attention we’ve built our reputation on.

For those looking to fully indulge, Margarita Month also brings our bottomless margarita experience. Enjoy 90 minutes of unlimited margaritas, served alongside a British Charcuterie & Cheese Board to share. It’s an easy, relaxed way to settle in, enjoy good company, and sip your way through the menu.

From intimate tables to lively group bookings, Margarita Month at The Nuthatch is all about flavour, atmosphere, and taking a little time to enjoy the moment.
