This Friday I felt that all my Birthdays had come at once as we managed to get a table at the opening night of service at Annie’s Burger Shack in the Lace Market. As it so happened, it was actually my birthday*. I had seen accounts of the upcoming opening and heard whispers from people who…

Annies Burger Shack Revisited
Editor note: This was one of the original location for the pop-up restaurant of Annie’s Burger Shack before they moved into their own restaurant in the Lace Market I love eating at Annie’s Burger Shack, they really do have some of the best most authentic US style hamburgers that you can find in the city…
Burger Mission at the Golden Fleece
It does not seem that long ago that we were at The Golden Fleece on Mansfield Road trying out one of their Chicken Sandwiches, when it was a case of “Argonauts need not apply, Cajun Sandwich lovers are welcome”. This past Friday we were walking back down Mansfield road and saw their chalkboard outside proclaiming that…
Kean’s Head Pub in the Lace Market for Beer and a ‘Triple B Burger’
The Keans Head pub 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.

Then as you walk around onto to Canal Street and into the pub you cross…
Trent Navigation – Decent Beer and Food by the Canal
The Trent Navigation Inn on Meadow Lane has had a somewhat mercurial life, even on their own website they note that the pub “throughout the years has at times been much loved or closed and neglected.” Over the 30 or more years that I have walked across the canal and onto Meadow Lane to pass it on…
Trip to Jerusalem – Testing the burgers with an out of town American
The Olde Trip to Jersusalem lays claim to being the oldest inn in England and is a destination pub particularly for overseas visitors to Nottingham. I nearly always bring my American friends here, even those that do not like beer. I am not going to bang on about the history of the place you can find all of…
An Authentic Amercian Burger in the UK? Come to Annie’s Burger Shack
As tip offs goes this was the real deal. I had heard that there was a pub in Nottingham where an American lady was putting out really good authentic American Hamburgers. This I had to see for myself and so I trotted along to the Trent Navigation Pub on Wilford Street by the canal to…
