The Cock & Hoop pub in the Lace Market District has been a public house since 1833 when it was called the Country Tavern. In 1933 it was taken over by Home Ales and you can still see the brewery name built into the window at the front. Even though the original brewery has been…

Sunday Lunch at the Keans Head
The Keans Head is located opposite St Mary’s Church in the historic Lace Market district of Nottingham on the narrow cobbled pavement of St Mary’s Gate. I read that the building once housed a factory producing Nottingham lace, but these days it is one of the numerous Castle Rock Brewery pubs scattered throughout the area. It…
Sunday Lunch at The Falcon Inn
The Falcon Inn at Canning Circus is an Old Shipstones Pub and one of the great traditional Real AIe pubs in the City. In the past I have enjoyed drinking some nice pints of ale in here and some tasty bar snacks while on a pub crawl up Derby Road and Alfreton Road to Canning…
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…
Sunday Lunch at the Hand in Heart
Last weekend we popped into the Hand & Heart on Derby Road for a spot of Sunday Lunch. Many people have told me that they provide a really good Sunday Dinner here and our visit to check that out has been long overdue. I have written about the Hand & Heart before but when I…

Dash Garden Cafe: Vegan Sunday Lunch
Dash Garden Cafe is the latest venture to set up in the Think building at Cobden Chambers. I heard that this place was going to be all Vegan and that they were going to be sourcing as much produce as possible locally. Now I am not Vegan but I am always keen to try out…
Sunday Lunch at The Botanist in West Bridgford
The Botanist in West Bridgford has been open on ‘our avenue’ for about 4 months now. This Gincentric chain moved into the space vacated by ‘Fire and Ice’ back in October and is to be honest exactly the sort of place that West Bridgford deserves. I got older last week so as a reward for…
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…
