About Piccalilli
Piccalilli is a strong Nottingham pick when value matters as much as polish: a Michelin Bib Gourmand gives it a clearer reason to book than many casual city-centre options. Lunch is the smarter first move for an efficient, lower-commitment meal; dinner suits dates and small celebrations where the reservation is the main plan.
Piccalilli is a Nottingham restaurant with a confirmed Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2026 Bib Gourmand. For planning purposes, the verified details are direct: it opens Thursday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, opens Sunday for lunch, and is closed Monday to Wednesday.
The clearest verified reason to put Piccalilli on a Nottingham shortlist is that Bib Gourmand recognition. The guide recognition makes it a useful option for diners who want a researched restaurant choice in the city, while the published opening pattern helps decide whether lunch or dinner is realistic for the day you have in mind.
Lunch is the broader first booking; dinner suits a slower plan
Lunch is available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12–3 PM. Dinner is available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5–9 PM. That makes lunch the more broadly available sitting across the week, while dinner is limited to three evenings.
Without a confirmed menu format or price, the practical advice is to choose based on timing rather than chasing a specific deal. If the meal is part of a wider Nottingham day, lunch gives the wider set of days. If the restaurant is the point of the evening, dinner is possible from Thursday to Saturday.
Choose it for confirmed guide recognition and a smart-casual plan
Piccalilli's verified dress code is smart casual, so it is best approached as a planned restaurant visit rather than an ultra-formal occasion. The confirmed Bib Gourmand is the key public recognition to rely on when deciding whether to prioritise it.
For alternatives to compare with Piccalilli, Harts, Delilah Fine Foods, Kottaram Restaurant, Kushi-Ya, and Kokoro are other options to consider depending on the kind of meal your group wants.
Because Piccalilli is closed Monday to Wednesday and has dinner only Thursday to Saturday, the main planning constraint is the weekly service pattern. Sunday is lunch only, while Thursday, Friday, and Saturday offer both lunch and dinner.
Quick reference: Piccalilli is a smart-casual Nottingham restaurant with a confirmed Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2026 Bib Gourmand; plan around lunch Thursday to Sunday or dinner Thursday to Saturday.

Compare Piccalilli
Piccalilli vs nearby options
Pick Piccalilli for Michelin Bib Gourmand-backed value in central Nottingham. Choose Harts when the occasion calls for a more classic restaurant feel, or Kushi-Ya when Japanese food and a ££ price signal are the deciding factors.
Delilah Fine Foods is the practical alternative for a more casual daytime plan. Kottaram Restaurant and Kokoro are better for groups who already agree on a specific cuisine direction.
If you cannot get a table
Try Harts if the meal is a special occasion and the group wants a more formal Nottingham restaurant. Try Kushi-Ya if a focused Japanese meal at a ££ level is a better match than a broader city-centre restaurant booking.
How it compares in Nottingham
Piccalilli is the value-led choice in this set because the Michelin Bib Gourmand gives it a clear quality signal without pushing it into full special-occasion territory. Harts is the better fit if the brief is more formal or traditional, while Piccalilli is stronger for diners who want a researched city-centre booking that does not feel overbuilt.
If the group wants a defined cuisine, Kushi-Ya is easier to understand upfront: Japanese, ££, and more specific in format. Kottaram Restaurant and Kokoro are better when the cuisine decision is already made; Piccalilli is better when the priority is overall restaurant quality and guide-backed value.
For a lower-pressure alternative, Delilah Fine Foods makes more sense for a casual daytime stop. Piccalilli is the one to choose when the meal needs to feel like a proper booking, but not a heavy commitment.
