The Black Pearl in West Bridgford is currently open selling take out Pizza and Drinks for collection. I had seen a group of people at the weekend hovering outside the window clutching plastic glasses of beer and cardboard pizza boxes so it wasn’t that hard to work out what was going down. They were calling…
Pub Grub at the Canal House: Memories of many meals scoffed
The Canal House is a place that has featured a lot on the blog over the years. The first post being back in 2013, the last until today was 2018, but I can assure that we have eaten and drunk here a lot more times since then. I started working on this post way before…

Ohannes Burgers have recently opened a second branch in Nottingham on Long Row in the City Centre. Their other outlet being in Arnold which only opened relatively recently back in 2019.

Breakfast at Sans Patrie on Canning Circus
Sans Patrie opened a week ago at Canning Circus on Alfreton Road in Nottingham. It is a really cool spot to hang out at with a great sounding menu that includes breakfast and pizza (two of my not so guilty pleasures).

Fish and Chips at the Waterside Bar and Kitchen on Trent Bridge
The Waterside Bar & Kitchen has just recently opened on the South Side of Trent Bridge taking up the space formerly occupied by the South Bank Bar. I strolled along the Victoria Embankment this week to see what the food was like. I had heard that the place was a lot fancier than the old…
Several Fridays at the Vat and Fiddle
We seem to start most of our Friday nights in Town with a pint or two at the Vat and Fiddle which has been our ‘local’ or one of our ‘locals’ for many a year. Surprisingly I had only written three blog posts about the place, I hadn’t realised that until recently when I finally…
