I love the Picnic Basket on Carrington Street! I always pick this place over the nearby chains if I want a cup of tea and a sandwich. When we are getting the train out of town it is my first stop in the morning for a bacon cob which comes with a free cup of…

PJ’s American Diner in Newark – “Washington Waffles”
PJ’s American Diner in Newark is located just off St Marks Place on Clinton Arms Street (It also seems to be known as PJ’s American Coffee Bar). We popped in to see if they were the real deal or just another spot jumping on the Americana wagon. I have eaten in many such places in…
Breakfast at The Silly Sausage in the Cattle Market
The Silly Sausage Cafe is located inside the old Cattle Market Tavern on Meadow Lane. This building was a pub that offered refreshment to the farmers and traders at the cattle market. Apparently they had a special licence to open early on market days. I can just imagine them all popping in for a pint…

Located in the space formerly occupied by Chin Chin and the Oriental Pearl it is describing itself as an “independent cocktail bar & kitchen with a passion for quality”.

Jumbo Breakfast at Chocks Away in Nottingham Airport at Tollerton
Breakfast Time at Chocks Away “Chocks Away” is the sort of place where you pop in for a simple bacon cob and end up with a massive plateful of lovely breakfast joy. In fact I sometimes feel that the breakfast menu at Chocks Away is really masquerading as a kind of competition 🙂 Just…
Jo-Hanna’s Bistro and Cafe – Great spot for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch and Dinner in Lowdham!
Jo-Hanna’s Bistro and Café in Lowdham was the perfect place to meet up before we took on a 17 mile (ish) pub crawl through the villages over to Southwell. It seemed like a good idea at the time, although I am sure we could have found as many pubs if we had just stuck to…
All Day Breakfast at Tuckers cafe on Friar Lane – The Robin Hood Special
Tuckers on Friar Lane is one of the down to earth cafés serving up simple and filling wholesome food to the good people of Nottingham. I have had my eye on this place for a while, but never seemed to be in town early enough to get something to eat there. This time we were…
Breakfast and Brunch at The Black Cat Cafe in Ruddington
The Black Cat Cafe in Ruddington has been open for about a year now and is in the same location as Mathew’s Deli and Cafe. I had driven past quite a few times and saw the name change and had just assumed that it was just that a rebrand, but then I read up and…
Breakfast at The Bank Pub in the Market Square
The Bank Pub on the Market Square in Nottingham is located in the building that formerly hosted the Barclays Bank, an establishment that for many years I trusted to look after my hard earned piles of cash. These days however I have transferred my late night Friday trust to the pub known as the Bank…
The Tea Cosy Cafe in Edwalton – Cakes, Sandwiches, and Breakfasts ‘thanks very much’
The Tea Cosy Café in Edwalton is located alongside and kind of inside the post office on Earlswood Drive. They have a Facebook Page and a website too. The last time I blogged about a café in the post office it was called the Chai ‘n’ Coffee House and was a café with an Indian twist…
