The Navigation Inn on Wilford Street lies right next to the Castle Gate Lock and on the city side of the bridge over the canal. This Friday we were hunting around for somewhere to grab a bit of food and a pint, and remembered this place so we came along to see if we could…

Sunday Lunch at Fellows Morton and Clayton
Fellows, Morton & Clayton or FMC as we call the place for short was our port of call by the canal for Sunday Lunch this week. I have eaten and imbibed here a lot over the years and have blogged several times about the place. In that time a number of landlords and Landladies have…
Sunday Lunch at the Roundhouse
The Roundhouse in Nottingham was taken over by the team behind the excellent award winning Bakehouse in Sherwood earlier in the year.
