I popped into the Vat and Fiddle Pub, the Castle Rock Brewery Tap Room, to hunt down the Brown Sauce from The Sauce Shop. The Vat is one of my locals for a Friday night beer and I am often in there getting a pint of Harvest Pale and a little bit of pub grub…

The Boat Inn in Lenton – Real Ale and Pub Grub
The Boat Inn at Lenton is a proper local, serving a decent pint and plenty of simple pub grub to soak it up with. The pub is tucked away on Priory Street a small side road joining up to Abbey Bridge one of the main roads running past the QMC and backing on to the…
Fish and Chip Friday at The Tailors Arms in Wilford
The Tailors Arms in Wilford has recently re-opened after a refurbishment, it is the re-invention of the space formerly occupied by The Wilford Green. The pub had been mostly closed over the last year which was a shame as this has always been a good spot for a pub in the area. Now I understand…
Squeaky Beaver Poutine at Six Barrel Drafthouse
Six Barrels Draft House in Hockley has been hosting a pop-up by Squeaky Beaver Poutine over the last few weeks. Now I really do like a nice bit of the old ‘Poutine;’ and have sampled it quite a lot as a snack back over in the States admittedly mostly whilst checking out breweries and bars so…
Our Burger at The John Borlase Warren
The Sir John Borlase Warren at Canning Circus is one of the places that you need to visit if you are heading up Derby Road for a night out or even planning a pub crawl. I was blogging about this place back in 2014 when I wrote about “The Canning Circus Circuit – Three Great…
Fish and Chip Friday at the Embankment Club and Kitchen
It was Fish and Chip Friday and I found myself in The Embankment Pub by Trent Bridge looking up at a Chalkboard that was enticing me with an offer of Beer Battered Haddock with Chips for £9.95. How could I possibly resist? The Board had promised a plate of “Locally sourced Haddock fillet, hand battered…
Breakfast Burger at the Canalhouse
It only seems like a couple of weeks since I was last in The Canalhouse bar and restaurant on Canal street munching away on a “Southern Fried Chicken and Waffle Burger“. This week my Mate Martin was out again at lunchtime and told me that he was popping in for a Burger so I gave…
A Bowl of Chilli at the Vat and Fiddle – Classic Pub Food
The Vat and Fiddle on Queens Bridge Road in Nottingham is one of my favourite boozers in Nottingham. I have been supping a pint or three here about as long as the Castle Rock Brewery has been filling the place up with barrels of beer. It has been our traditional Friday night starting point for…
Southern Fried Chicken and Waffle Burger at The Canal House
The Canal House on Canal Street in Nottingham, next to the Canal (spot the theme in the thread) is a great pub for sampling Ale. I really don’t come here often enough considering the excellent selection of beers that they stock. The rumour that the sole reason is that you have to walk several flights…
Fox and Grapes in Sneinton Market – Beer and Pizza
The Fox and Grapes in Sneinton Market is one of the latest pubs to open up in Nottingham under the Castle Rock Brewery umbrella. This particular opening back in September was most welcome as it saw the re-emergence of a Public House that has been located at this spot since the 1830’s. In recent times…
