The Story of Pitcher & Piano

The first Pitcher and Piano in April 2010

How It All Began

The very first Pitcher & Piano opened its doors in September 1986. It was located on Fulham Road in London. The company itself was started a little earlier, in August 1985.

Pitcher & Piano was special because it was one of the first pub chains in the UK designed to be very welcoming for women. A talented designer named Sheila McKenzie helped create the look and feel of the first place. She even became the managing director for a few years.

The company grew steadily. By 1996, when it was sold for about £20 million, it had 7 bars. Ten years later, in 2006, the chain had grown to 38 locations! This shows how popular Pitcher & Piano became over time.

Who Started It?

The company was founded by Andrew Bonnell. He started the business in August 1985, bringing the idea of Pitcher & Piano to life.
