Rynos Burgers in Radford
Rynos in Radford on Alfreton Road is a sit in and takeaway fast food joint cooking up Burgers, Pizza and Chicken. I was drawn to check them out by the suggestion of an offering of a ‘smashed burger’. I am quite fond of that particular type of burger so I had a look on their…
Brunch at Little Bricks on Derby Road
Little Bricks is the next step in the Evolution of The Little Brickhouse formerly housed in the old shipping container in Sherwood that sadly closed during the pandemic. Happily they are back now with a ‘brick and mortar’ restaurant on Derby Road. I have been watching their Instagram posts for a while salivating over the…

Breakfast at Sans Patrie on Canning Circus

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 Hand in Heart
Last weekend we popped into the Hand & Heart on Derby Road for a spot of Sunday Lunch. Many people have told me that they provide a really good Sunday Dinner here and our visit to check that out has been long overdue. I have written about the Hand & Heart before but when I…
Tough Mary’s Bakehouse – Fantastic Local Artisan Bakery on Derby Road
Tough Mary’s Bakehouse part way up Derby Road is one seriously great bakery. I first popped in last month just to get some bread having heard great things about them. I had also been served some of their sourdough on a visit to No 8 deli in West Bridgford and had one of their Cobs…
