How do you brew? We meet the owners of The Hidden Brew, a new coffee haven in Cobden Chambers

The Hidden Brew is Nottingham’s newest independent coffee shop, quietly opening in Cobden Chambers back in December.

Starting out as an acoustic busking band in York nearly 20 years ago, Blackbeard’s Tea Party have evolved into a solid five-piece folk rock band whose live performances have included the legendary festivals of Glastonbury and Fairport’s Cropredy Convention. If you insist on your folk delivered in a traditional acoustic way complete with flat caps, then this may not the band for you. However, if you’re up for something a bit livelier, then check them out. We did, at The Bodega...
