Housed in a former bakery and nestled away on Mapperley Top, the Bread has been serving the local community as a Castle Rock pub since 2007.
This unique building is comprised of several sections, with a traditional bar area, a light and airy conservatory, a dining area alongside the former baker’s ovens, and a small seating area.
Both the drinks and food menus are carefully curated to cater to different needs and tastes, with an emphasis on vegan dining and a popular Sunday Roast. The Bread has four craft keg lines, an exciting menu of spirits and wines, and a reputation for beautifully kept cask beer.

Bread and Bitter is always the first place I'm inclined to visit on Mapperly Top. A warm welcome every time, lovely kind bar staff, and always a fab selection of beers.
Used to rate this pub but it’s definitely gone downhill. The atmosphere hasn’t really changed, very cosy with a good number of locals and very dog friendly which in my opinion is a bonus. The staff are still pretty friendly with the exception of the manager (Lee, I think). He is grumpy and should not have a customer facing job. Whoever gave him this post made a big mistake and should really reconsider their hiring process. Unfortunately the food isn’t up to par with what it was before - dough isn’t as fresh for the pizzas, the chips are floury. The curry on Mondays however is still phenomenally good. The beer is kept well but some of the staff don’t know how to pour a pint properly it seems. The coffee is good but again some staff don’t seem to know how to froth milk without burning it. In essence it’s a mixed bag and you never know what quality you’ll get (bar curries on Monday).
Decent, straight forward pub. Interesting building in an old bakery retaining features of its former use (oven doors) adding a museum feel. Great beer choice and good food.
The food was excellent (highly recommend the moussaka!) and there were plenty of tables & beer options. Staff were pleasant and efficient, only downside was we ordered nachos as a starter and they came with the mains, a very minor thing!
No tables but we sat in the bar and that was fine by us! Service and staff were great and the roast was perfection!
