The Trent Navigation on Meadow Lane has always been a very reliable pub in the area for a decent pint and pub food at a reasonable price. A popular haunt on a match day for supporters of the local cricket and football teams, it can be rammed one day and ‘one man and his dog’…

Sunday Roast Wrap at the Vat and Fiddle
It is almost the end of 2022 and I cannot let the year slip by without a mention on the blog for my trusted local pub the Vat and Fiddle. We come here a lot and if I wrote about every pint we supped and every morsel we ate here then the blog could easily…
Fish and Chips from the Bridgeway Fish Bar in the Meadows
The Bridgeway Fish Bar in the Meadows is as one may have surmised located at the Bridgeway Shopping Centre in the pedestrianised precinct of shops that runs through the New Meadows area.

Curry Night at The Embankment
On Friday night we found ourselves at the Embankment Pub down by the river having a few pints after work. It got to the point when we really needed some food before the consumption of beer got out of hand. “lets go for a curry” someone said, followed by “but the beer here is so…
Sausage and Mash at The Trent Navigation

No? well I did and I needed a cup of tea and a bacon butty so I pulled…

Nevada Chicken on Varney Road in Clifton is another place that you can find when riding the Tram between the Nottingham Station and Clifton South Tram Stops. This Chicken Shack is located just a couple of minutes walk from the Southchurch Drive Tram Stop. I spotted it when I was on the tram, the same day that I…
The Platform Kiosk – Snacks at the End of the Tram Line at Clifton South
As I strolled over to catch the tram into the city from the Clifton South Tram Stop, I was pleasantly surprised to find The Platform, a kiosk selling hot and cold drinks, sandwiches and the odd cake. I did not expect to find anything to eat or drink at the Park and Ride at the…
