Todays brunch was partaking of some Hong Kong style breakfasts up at Cuphead Cafe on Hilton Crescent in West Bridgford. This was a bit of an unexpected find and treat after I got a tip off there was some noodle action I needed to check out. A friend telling me that “I was up near the…

Dumpling and Noodle Action at Grounded Kitchen in West Bridgford
The first time I visited Grounded Kitchen in West Bridgford I wasn’t that keen but I am prepared to be proven wrong and felt that it was time to return and give them another go. It helped that I had seen mention of ramen noodles and dumplings on their menu, neither of which featured the…
Breakfast at Mrs Bunn’s Cob Emporium
Mrs Bunn’s Cob Emporium is one of my go to places for a lunchtime snack, usually a filled cob of some sort, tuna mayo, roast pork (when they have it), or a sausage cob with red sauce, and if I am in the mood for a treat I’ll have one of their classic bakes like…
Brunch at Bread & Lard Island
Bread & Lard Island is located on Trent Blvd one of the main thoroughfares in Lady Bay and seems to be very popular amongst the locals. The cafe was busy when we visited and I felt slightly out of place sitting there in my walking gear amongst the ‘posh’ people all dressed up out for…
Crunch in West Bridgford: Sunday Dinner for Lunch (sort of)
Crunch in West Bridgford is one of those ‘build your own’ bowl spots, the sort of place I usually avoid in expectation of a boring buddha bowl or something piled high with salad and bereft of much joy. So imagine my delight when I found that they offered up a kind of Roast Dinner! I…
Burg Burgers in West Bridgford

The Cod’s Scallops in West Bridgford
The Cod’s Scallops opened their latest restaurant on Wilford Lane in West Bridgford back in April. It is the sixth location for this much lauded small chain of chip shops one of which won the National Fish and Chip Shop of the year awards back in 2020. I have enjoyed eating at both the Sherwood…

Chippy Lunch from the Bridgford Fish Bar down by the river
I popped into the Bridgford Fish bar this week just because I saw that it was open as I was passing by. I had not seen the lights on for ages. It does not take much of an excuse to grab a chippy lunch and this is probably the lamest excuse I have come up…
