A while back we were over in Ruddington trying out the hospitality in some of their local hostelries, or should I just say we were on a bit of a pub crawl? We found ourselves eventually at The Red Heart Public House on Easthorpe Street. If you don’t know much about this pub well I…

Mama White’s Pancake Parlour – Bacon and Maple Syrup Pancakes!
Mama White’s Pancake Parlour in Newark was a great find this weekend as we searched for “just a little something” to get us through the afternoon. Would you be surprised if I was about to relate a tale of a lunchtime in Newark when we ate a couple of platefuls of Pancake? I guess not,…
A “Full English” at Joe’s Cafe and Cob Shop near Colwick Vale
During a lunchtime I was out and about in the MyFoodHunt mobile looking for some new places to lunch. For no particular reason I found myself following the bus route through Colwick Vale towards Netherfield. I hadn’t driven along here for ages and I was hoping to find some sort of café. I was in…
Meadow Lane Cafe – An ‘all day breakfast situation’
Last week I found myself over at the Lady Bay Industrial estate at the Meadow Lane Café in the search for a brunch type situation, to be more exact I was in the mood for an all-day-breakfast. I was pretty sure that this was the sort of place that I would be able to achieve my aim especially when…
The Corner Cafe in Netherfield – Full English Breakfast and erm.. some other stuff too (probably)
The Corner Café in Netherfield is another local community establishment that deserves another look. It is a bright and friendly establishment that seems to be focussed on your standard café fare with a few extra items. More about those at the end of the post, but just for now lets just assume that I came…
Cafe 67 on the Colwick Industrial estate – Friendly Cafe with Decent Food
Café 67 is in the middle of the Colwick Loop industrial estate on Road No 2. I found the place on a food hunting lunch time sortie when I was using myfoodhunt ‘radar’ and had guessed that there would be some sort of café on the industrial estate (or perhaps I was just driving aimlessly…
Snack Stop in Radcliffe on Trent – Yet another bacon and egg cob
Snack Stop in Radcliffe on Trent is at 50 Bingham Road, it is a small sandwich shop providing hot and cold cobs, jacket potatoes, and some breakfast items. I popped in on Friday lunchtime just really because I saw the word “SNACK” in big red capital letters as I drove past, and not being affected…
All Day Breakfast at The Bank -“Big but not clever”
The Bank in Nottingham is a pub in the Old Market Square area that used to be a bank. For a time it was my bank, a branch of Barclays. This pub often tends to be our last port of call on a Friday night due to its proximity to the bus stops and prevalence…
The Cosy Teapot Cafe – Cheap and Cheerful Greasy Spoon
Back in 2003 The Cosy Teapot café on Carrington Street in Nottingham won the title of “Britain’s Greatest Greasy Spoon”. I did eat a breakfast in there back around that time and it was pretty good. For a while there was a sign in the window telling all who passed of their award success, as…
The Sandwich Bar – A nice ‘bacon butty’ by the tram line
The Sandwich Bar is a tiny little cob shop just next to the car park by the Moor Bridge Tram stop. It was a case of one in one out when I chanced upon it. There were two people inside getting their food and one had to step aside to even get the door open….
