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). Inside it is laid out really well, it’s casual almost Scandanavian in style serving…
Sunday Lunch at the Cock and Hoop in the Lace Market
The Cock & Hoop pub in the Lace Market District has been a public house since 1833 when it was called the Country Tavern. In 1933 it was taken over by Home Ales and you can still see the brewery name built into the window at the front. Even though the original brewery has been…
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…

Tapas at Vida by Lorentes
Vida by Lorentes in the Lace Market is a family run tapas restaurant that has recently opened in the space formerly occupied by The Last Chance Saloon. I popped along recently to check them out and to try a couple of dishes. Spoiler alert is that the food was really tasty so I suspect that…
Breakfast at the Harley Cafe on the Welbeck Estate
The Harley Cafe is located on the Welbeck Estate right across the Courtyard from the excellent Welbeck Farm Shop and next to the Harley Gallery. We had popped over to the estate at the weekend to pick up some supplies from the shop and also to check out the lego exhibition at the gallery. It…
Lets Go Vegan at the Chocks Away Cafe
I love hitting up the Chocks Away Cafe at Tollerton Airport for lunch. They do all the usual cafe and greasy spoon options that you might expect, but what you might not have known is that they also have a really extensive Vegan and Vegetarian Menu as well. As you my have gathered from most…
Sunday Lunch at the Keans Head
The Keans Head is located opposite St Mary’s Church in the historic Lace Market district of Nottingham on the narrow cobbled pavement of St Mary’s Gate. I read that the building once housed a factory producing Nottingham lace, but these days it is one of the numerous Castle Rock Brewery pubs scattered throughout the area. It…
