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. I had originally had other plans looking for our more regular spots but both The Bakehouse and The Crimson Tree were closed Luckily just across the road…
All Day Breakfast at Fox cafe
The Fox Cafe on Pelham Street in Nottingham is well known for providing excellent quality plates of food. The gourmet sandwiches and panini are particularly good and the Boards always look tempting. I arrived about 11 in that mid morning void when you wonder if you can hold out for lunch or need some sort…

Breakfast All Day at the GB cafe in Sneinton Market
The GB Cafe & Restaurant on Gedling St at Sneinton Market in Nottingham is a great place to get your fill of classic old school ‘greasy spoon’ breakfast fodder. Over the years we have frequented this place and it has been ever reliable when needing a comforting plate of food at a good price to…
Daisy’s Kitchen in Newark: Scoffing breakfast for lunch
Daisy’s in Newark is a classic slightly greasy spoon cafe located in the Arcade just off the Market Place. I am not sure if it is called Daisy’s Kitchen as per the sign over the door or Daisy’s cafe so let’s just call it Daisy’s for now 🙂 Anyway we were in town shopping at…
Brunch at Little Bricks on Derby Road
Little Bricks is the next step in the Evolution of The Little Brickhouse formerly housed in the old shipping container in Sherwood that sadly closed during the pandemic. Happily they are back now with a ‘brick and mortar’ restaurant on Derby Road. I have been watching their Instagram posts for a while salivating over the…
