Fish and Chip Friday at Fellows, Morton, and Clayton

Fellows, Morton & Clayton on Canal Street in Nottingham has been a long standing member of the local real ale pub community. Over recent years it has had a bit of a turbulent time, it has been opened and closed down a couple of times, and throughout all that time I think we have all…

Fish and Chip Friday’s in and around West Bridgford

The Big Fish Restaurant at Ollerton is a little bit of a hidden gem in the Nottinghamshire Fish and Chip scene. It is located on the side of the roundabout at the junction of the A614 and the A6075. I think I have driven past this place hundreds of time when passing along that route…

Moulin Rouge – Fish and Chips on Trinity Square
