Back in August I last wrote about The Embankment Club near Trent Bridge when I came in for Castle Rock Beer and Pub Food. At that time it was in mid transformation and they were still renovating the place to add a new bar and additional restaurant space. Now those rooms have opened and we have been back…

OK Diner, An American Diner at Carlton on the Northbound A1
The OK Diner The OK diner chain are a small group of ‘American-style’ Diners serving up their take on the American Diner experience alongside some of our main routes snaking up and down the country. I first spotted one when I was heading North up the A1 on my way to Newcastle. I had just joined…
Mr Tea Too – Breakfast Butty on Queens Industrial Estate
Mr Teas Too Van is located over on the Queens Drive Industrial Estate just off Longwall Avenue. You may have seen a white board on the junction of Queens Drive, Crossgate Drive, and Robin Hoods way pointing down Crossgate Drive towards this van? No? well I did and I needed a cup of tea and a bacon butty so I pulled…
The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard for a satisfying greasy spoon style bacon and fried egg cob
The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard is one of those local places that I love to find when I am either looking for a sandwich at lunchtime or for some sort of breakfast cob situation. It is pretty visible from the main road, but as you turn in to the side street to park you are…
Baresca in Nottingham for Brunch anyone?
Baresca on Byard Lane near the Lace Market Tram stop in Nottingham is a pretty cool place to hang out for a drink, a coffee, some tapas, and as it happens a leisurely Brunch. Their website boldy says “When was the last time you had a great breakfast? Visit us and we’ll serve you a breakfast…
Jo’s Pancake House – Bacon and Maple Syrup? On Pancakes? don’t mind if I do!
Jo’s Pancake House on Ilkeston Road is another great find for me as a place to indulge and fuel my search for American themed food in Nottingham. It was also quite a random find as I was just driving around the city over in the general direction of Canning Circus to see what I could find…
The Avenues Café at Sneinton Market
The Avenues Café in Sneinton formally known as ‘Tasty Bites’ has apparently been in the market area for around 20 years. It is right next door to the GB café, so close that when you are inside at the counter you wonder if they are sharing a kitchen. I don’t think that they are, I…
The Jukebox Café – All Day Breakfast in a kind of Builder’s Breakfast Nirvana
The Jukebox Café at 18 Hartley Road in Radford is an absolute classic café in the ‘greasy spoon’ genre. I have sampled some of their offerings over the last couple of years from their outside catering stall at the Nottingham beer festival and today I was here at the source to see what they would put…
JJ’s Food Bar for a Breakfast in a Bun
JJ’s food bar up on Boundary Road in West Bridgford is a slightly classier bacon and egg cob emporium than those which I often tell you about. It is nice and clean and friendly inside which is always a good sign. It also comes with a simple menu, mainly coming from the ‘world of the breakfast’ which…
The Pop Inn – A Bacon Cob please
Today we had a Bacon Cob at The Pop Inn. There are mornings and moment when I cannot resist the call of a bacon roll, a bacon bap, or a bacon cob. Whatever you choose to call the bacon holder there can be no doubt that there are times when that crispy grilled or fried slice of meat is…
