Breakfast at Snax in the City
Snax in the City is a small cafe and cob shop on Derby Road just about 5 minutes walk up the hill from the Maid Marian Island and next door to Tough Mary’s Bakehouse. I have had my eye on this place for a while for possible breakfast opportunities but until recently I have been…
Breakfast at Friar Tucks Cafe by Clumber Park on the A164
Friar Tucks Cafe and Grill is located just of the A164 on Limetree Avenue right opposite the entrance to Clumber Park. We were on our way heading North to the A1 and had planned a stop off en route for a cheeky breakfast. I had scoured the map and come up with several options on…

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.
