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…
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…
Fish and Chip Friday at The Sir John Borlase Warren
The Sir John Borlase Warren lies up at Canning Circus in Nottingham. It is on the triangular island where the road splits into Derby Road and Alfreton Road and sits next door to the Falcon Inn where we recently scoffed a Sunday Lunch (read more here) This Friday though we were here in search of…
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…
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…
Pub Burgers at The Stage
The Stage on Upper Parliment can be a somewhat lively pub with the music blasting away either some sort of Karaoke or some disco hits from the past. If you sit in the snug, one of the alcoves or in the back room you can avoid the crowds and strum along from a distance. We…
Buns: Burgers Shakes and Fries. Checking out the Classic Cheese and the Triple Stacker
Buns on Ilkeston Road in Nottingham is one of the latest burger emporiums serving up a ‘smash burger’ in the City. Their menu tells us that their ‘House Beef Buns’ are ‘all handmade fresh to order using 100% halal angus beef’ and that they ‘only use the highest quality ingredients to construct the perfect burger…
Sunday Lunch at The Falcon Inn
The Falcon Inn at Canning Circus is an Old Shipstones Pub and one of the great traditional Real AIe pubs in the City. In the past I have enjoyed drinking some nice pints of ale in here and some tasty bar snacks while on a pub crawl up Derby Road and Alfreton Road to Canning…
Sunday Lunch at the Lincolnshire Poacher on Mansfield Road
This week I was out on another long walk bimbling about town, we were walking past the Lincolnshire Poacher on Mansfield Road, it was raining again, we were hungry again, and it was a Sunday. I think that what is coming next might not be a major surprise. I poked my head in through the…
