About The Dickens Bar At The Morritt
The Dickens Bar and Bistro is a classic country pub within a four-star country house hotel. With a warm welcome always waiting, you will find a good pint and great food on the menu, this is the spot for a traditional pub dish and your favourite tipple. There is a crackling fire to welcome you in winter and a lovely garden for the summer months and we are dog friendly too.
History of Dickens Bar
In 1838, a young Charles Dickens travelled north to research his third classic, Nicholas Nickleby, legend has it that Dickens stayed at The Morritt during his travels.
This legend was picked up by artist; John Gilroy when he painted the fabulous Dickensian themed mural you will find in the main part of the bar.
You can read the full story of the John Gilroy mural from the button below.
In 2012 a new mural was commissioned in the Bistro area to celebrate Dickens 200th birthday, it is very different in style to the Gilroy mural but still full of characters, old and new!
