Sausage and Mash at The Trent Navigation
The Trent Navigation on Meadow Lane is a pretty reliable option for a decent pint of beer from the attached Navigation Brewery and a good plate of Pub Food. I come here quite often on Matchdays when the Pies are playing at home when the place is rammed. If I fancy food though I try…
The Vat and Fiddle – Excellent Beer and some Good Pub Grub

The “In Plaice” on the Tram Line in Clifton, the name is an awesome pun and they have pretty good fish and chips too
The In Plaice is a Fish and Chip shop (with extras) just next to the Southchurch Drive Tram stop in Clifton on the tram line running between Nottingham Station and Clifton South. Based on the name alone I got off the tram to try it out, in my heart I knew that it would be…
