Sunday Lunch at the Lincolnshire Poacher on Mansfield Road
This week I was out on another long walk bimbling about town, we were walking past the Lincolnshire Poacher on Mansfield Road, it was raining again, we were hungry again, and it was a Sunday. I think that what is coming next might not be a major surprise. I poked my head in through the…
Sunday Lunch at the Poppy and Pint
Poppy and Pint This Sunday we headed up to the Poppy & Pint pub in Lady Bay for Some Sunday Lunch action. I have written about this place on the blog before way back in 2012 when I had a lovely Bœuf Bourguignon (read more here) and more recently when checking out breakfast back in…

Curry Night at The Embankment

U-Boat Burger at The Boat Inn
I love The Boat Inn over at Lenton. It is a right proper boozer, decent beer, pub grub cooked to order and decent folk in the place all supping real ale and having a relaxed time. I have written about this place before and have been back quite a few times since just to get…
