Bread & Lard Island is located on Trent Blvd one of the main thoroughfares in Lady Bay and seems to be very popular amongst the locals. The cafe was busy when we visited and I felt slightly out of place sitting there in my walking gear amongst the ‘posh’ people all dressed up out for…

Burg Burgers in West Bridgford
Burg Burgers just opened their third branch in the county this time in West Bridgford serving up more of their excellent Smash Burgers.
