Jaspers Cafe in Ruddington on the High Street is a really nice place for a spot of lunch, a bit of brunch or a lovely plateful of breakfast. I am always looking for a decent breakfast spot and place to have a bit of lunch in the area and Ruddington usually comes up trumps…

The Coffee House of Nottingham
The Coffee House of Nottingham is located half way up (or down) that little alleyway called Hurts Yard running between Long Row and Upper Parliament Street. I was often curious as to what lay behind that lovely red painted façade as I passed up and down that alley, so finally I poked my nose in…
Edins Continental Cafe – Menu Del Dia
I first blogged about Edins in Broad Street back in June 2013 when I described my experience as ‘a quite delightful light lunch’. I had just had a simple meal of ‘Ham Hock & Tarragon Pasta Shells with a Dijon Mustard Sauce‘ as part of a lunchtime deal that also included a bowl of…

Breakfast at Mary’s Kitchen near Sneinton Market
Mary’s Kitchen near to Sneinton Market on Southwell Road in Nottingham is a great little cafe. It would be somewhat churlish to describe it as a ‘greasy spoon’ as it was a lot cleaner and brighter inside than your average ‘caff‘ I popped in this week in search of a breakfast and was pretty happy…
PJ’s American Diner in Newark – “Washington Waffles”
PJ’s American Diner in Newark is located just off St Marks Place on Clinton Arms Street (It also seems to be known as PJ’s American Coffee Bar). We popped in to see if they were the real deal or just another spot jumping on the Americana wagon. I have eaten in many such places in…
