Adams Restaurant Brasserie and Bar – “Food Bloggers’ fundraising Dinner for the Stroke Association”

The Adams Restaurant Brasserie and Bar located at New College Nottingham (NCN) in the Lace Market is one of our little gems in the Nottingham Food Scene.

Pieminister in Nottingham – Pie, Mash and Peas!

Pieminister, the pie people, from Bristol, have opened up one of their restaurants here in Nottingham up on Long Row. Officially they only opened last weekend, but in reality they have been open for a few weeks now as they got the place up and running with a bit of a soft launch. I have kind…

Baresca in Nottingham for Brunch anyone?

Baresca on Byard Lane near the Lace Market Tram stop in Nottingham is a pretty cool place to hang out for a drink, a coffee, some tapas, and as it happens a leisurely Brunch. Their website boldy says “When was the last time you had a great breakfast? Visit us and we’ll serve you a breakfast…

Oaks Restaurant – Local English BBQ cooked on the Embers

OAKS in Nottingham finally opened its door to the general public on the 16th July and I for one was quite excited.

Suede Lounge Bar and Pizza Kitchen for very good and very thin Pizza

Suede Lounge Bar and Pizza Kitchen is located in Nottingham Creative Quarter down at the far end of Heathcote Street.

Georges Fish and Chip Kitchen – Feeding my American Friends

Whatever the weather I can not resist the lure of a decent plate of Fish and Chips. When I am in the City Centre I am increasingly finding myself drawn in to eat at Georges Fish and Chip Kitchen on Queens Street in the old Post office building. Back in December, when it was just opening, I visited (read…

Bill’s in Nottingham – Comfort Food in the form of Fish Pie

  Bill’s in Nottingham has been open since July 2014, I first came in just after it had opened and looking back I am not sure why I didn’t end up writing a post on the blog about my meal. I think it was because I was not that enamoured with my choice, which was kind…

“Haddock, Chips, and Mushy Peas please!” at George’s Fish and Chip Kitchen

George’s Fish and Chip Kitchen in Nottingham is to be I hope a welcome addition to the restaurant dining scene in the city centre. George’s Traditional has been present in and around the city for a while now and has been a pretty reliable place to get your fill of Fish and Chips. If you…

Lunch-time Burgers at the Missoula Montana Bar and Grill in the Lace Market

This weekend I finally made it over to Missoula ‘Montana Bar and Grill’ in the Lace Market for lunch. I have been trying to find the time and the space in my stomach for a while. I had a chance to come in on the Opening night and had other invites to try but sadly was just…
