A week or so back I was over at Smoqued in Nottingham Street Food Club checking out their loaded fries and a Maple Smoked Pork Belly Bun (read more here). Spoiler alert they were pretty goddam good. I was talking to the chaps from Secret Burger Club next door about just how good those loaded…

U Canteen – Beef Brisket Noodle Soup and Dumplings
U Canteen on Heathcote Street in Hockley is a really great little Chinese Diner, on their Facebook page they describe themselves as serving “Authentic Home-Style Real Chinese Food“, which sounds great as that is just what I am looking for. I like the menu, it has a lot more regional food which is my code…
Oscar and Rosie’s – The night before the pizza magic starts again
Today was one of those days when I was so happy that I started writing The Nottingham Food Blog. About two years ago I first met Olly at the Picnic Basket where he was testing his pizza dream on the people of Nottingham, it was love at first sight and taste….for the pizza, and…
The Hungry Pumpkin, a deli and café in the Lace Market for lunch
Today I rode up on the Clifton South Tram line from the Embankment stop to pick up some lunch at the Hungry Pumpkin deli café in the Lace Market. This delightful café is located just next to St Mary’s on High Pavement. From the Lace Market Tram stop just head towards the Cathedral past the…
The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard for a satisfying greasy spoon style bacon and fried egg cob
The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard is one of those local places that I love to find when I am either looking for a sandwich at lunchtime or for some sort of breakfast cob situation. It is pretty visible from the main road, but as you turn in to the side street to park you are…

Hunt down Meltworks and try their Excellent Grilled Cheese Artisan Toasties!
Meltworks Grilled Cheese were in the City this weekend serving up some of their Artisan Toasties at Nottingham StrEAT on Smithy Row. I had read that they were going to be there on Friday and Saturday so took full advantage of the new Tram Stop at Wilford near my home and rode up into the Market Square to find them….
Gourmet Kitchen at Nottingham Station Tram Hub
A couple of months back the central Hub for the Tram moved into Nottingham Station, and now that two new tram lines to Clifton South and Toton have opened, it is a good place to jump off the tram and switch lines. If like me you find yourself needing to get a quick snack in…
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…
Jo’s Pancake House – Bacon and Maple Syrup? On Pancakes? don’t mind if I do!
Jo’s Pancake House on Ilkeston Road is another great find for me as a place to indulge and fuel my search for American themed food in Nottingham. It was also quite a random find as I was just driving around the city over in the general direction of Canning Circus to see what I could find…
