The Poppy and Pint is a great community pub, situated inside the old British Legion building, right in the midst of Lady Bay. While it is primarily a Pub at heart serving Real Ales and Great Pub Food, it also acts as social hub for the local people and local groups. I have been here…

The Toll Bar – A Friendly Welcome, Real Ale and Pieminister Pies
The Toll Bar is the latest resident of the pub space at Tollhouse Hill by the big roundabout that joins up Maid Marian Way, Derby road and Lower Parliament Street. It has been back open about a couple of weeks now and it is offering up Real Ales, Pieminister Pies, and 200 degrees coffee…
Vegan ‘Fish and Chips’ at The Peacock
The Peacock at the foot of Mansfield Road in Nottingham is a fantastic Victorian Pub serving a decent selection of Real Ales. Last year they made the decision to launch a Vegan menu which in my mind was quite a brave decision. This week we finally came in to try it out, my partner in…
Scoffing Pub Burgers at Langtrys in Nottingham
Langtrys in Nottingham by the corner house is a great pub to meet up at before a trip to the theatre, before going to the flicks at the nearby cinema, or just for pint with mates. We often start the night here as it is a nice pub with some decent real ale and you…
The Lincolnshire Poacher Pub Burger
I really enjoyed eating this burger at The Lincolnshire Poacher up on Mansfield Road, it was a solid effort, really good wholesome pub food, the meat patty is thick and juicy, probably about an inch and a bit thick, well seasoned and smothered with loads of lovely molten cheese. The bread cob that it…
The Bromley at Fiskerton – Nice Pizza and a Great pub by the river for the rambler
The Bromley at Fiskerton was like a shining beacon as we reached it after a long walk from Lowdham. It was getting towards the end of the day. We had not eaten since Jo-hanna’s at 9.30am and it was basically getting towards 5pm when we finally reached this supposed midway point. I think we were…
Sunday Lunch at Fellows, Morton and Clayton
The Fellows Morton and Clayton pub on Canal Street has recently re-opened after a short closure. This is great news as it has been such a stalwart of both the Canalside and Nottinghamshire real ale pub scene for many years. I think a few of us feared the worst when the shutters went up on…
The Flying Circus Pub in Newark – Nice Spot with Local Beers
The Flying Circus Pub was a great find on our recent the pub bimble around Newark. Martin is looking particularly keen to get inside and check out the claim on the chalkboard that they have “Newark’s Largest Range of Beer” So was I but you know the post needed a picture 🙂 On their website…
Tasty Taco’s and Tiny Rebel Brew at the Junkyard Pour House and Bottle Shop
Junkyard ‘Bottle Shop and Pour House’ on Bridlesmith Walk is one of my favourite watering holes in the city. This last Tuesday I took a stroll up there for a bite to eat and a beer. When I first started visiting the place back in 2015 I was looking for some of the tastes from…
The Purist Burger at Bunkers Hill in the Lace Market
Bunkers Hill in Nottingham is one of those city centre pubs that is just far enough away from the main drag to feel like a local. Not too many of the gobshites bother to walk down the hill through Hockley to drink in this place, so you end up with a pretty relaxed but also…
