Lunch at the New Art Exchange Cafe
The NAE Cafe Bar at the New Art Exchange in Hyson Green is a great spot to get some lunch if you are in the area. The food is a lot more diverse and interesting than many places in the city, I have been here many times over the years and enjoyed many different cuisines…
Breakfast at Cafe CChino in Sherwood
This last Sunday we found ourselves visiting Cafe Cchino while out bimbling around Sherwood looking half hardheartedly for a cup of tea and some sort of a bun.

BRRGRR Handmade Burgers in Hyson Green
BRRGRR recently opened in Hyson Green selling Handmade burgers of the smash variety. At first sight you may think that their name is a grunted expression of coldness followed by anger but apparently not it is just how you say burger 🙂 The menu here does not contain beef, it is lamb burgers and chicken…
Nibbles in Sherwood

The Snobby Burger
Snobby Burger was the venture between 2018 MasterChef winner Laurence Henry and Johnny Puztai from the excellent butchers of the same name in Sherwood.

MahMoods Burgers in Hyson Green
Mahmoods in Hyson Green opened in late December last year serving up burgers, fried chicken and pizza. I had seen a sign saying they were about to open a while ago and when I googled the only site I could find was for their facebook page and it turned out that this was a small…
The Burger deal at Homemade Cafe
I do love the Homemade Cafe on the Forest Recreation Ground, I last blogged about coming here back in 2015 (read more here) but I have been in over the intervening years to get a cup of tea and some of their excellent cakes many times. Today it was raining, we had just parked up…
