To complement our drinks, we serve British Charcuterie & Cheese boards that showcase the best of local and artisanal produce. Our cured meats are sourced from award-winning producers including Cobble Lane Cured, Bray Cured, and Lishman’s of Ilkley, each known for craftsmanship and sustainability.

On the cheese side, you’ll often find the rich and buttery Baron Bigod Brie from Fen Farm Dairy, the deep flavours of Sparkenhoe Red Leicester, and other seasonal British favourites. These boards are designed for sharing and provide a perfect match to our cocktails and wines.

We’re proud to be recognised among the Top 50 Cocktail Bars UK, a reflection of the passion and attention to detail that our small team brings to every service. Our reputation has also been celebrated by regional guides such as Visit Tees Valley and We Are Middlesbrough, while lifestyle press like High Life North and Thumbelina Lillie have highlighted our independent spirit.

The Nuthatch isn’t just a bar — it’s a place for gathering. From intimate birthday celebrations to milestone occasions, our venue can be privately hired for up to 45 seated guests (or 50 including some standing). We offer custom cocktail menus, British Charcuterie & Cheese boards, and full table service to make every event unique.

Beyond private hire, we’re proud to be part of the Middlesbrough independent scene — working with local suppliers, supporting community projects, and welcoming guests who often become friends.
