OAKS in Nottingham finally opened its door to the general public on the 16th July and I for one was quite excited. I had read about its concept and plans a couple of months ago in the Nottingham Post, and since I have been waiting for ages to come and dine there. More recently I had been fed titbits…

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. First impression were that I liked this place it is kind of quirky with old cassette taps stuck to the walls and outdoor tables inside to sit on. I am not sure what vibe they are going…
Annie’s Burger Shack for a light bite on a Friday Night?
This Friday we were out and about in the Lace Market and somehow perhaps by some kind of divine dining intervention we found ourselves at Annie’s Burger Shack. Now I have dined here before on many an occasion, and it is pretty well established that I find Annie to serve the best goddam burgers in…
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…
China Fu at Canning Circus for some Ma Po Tofu
China Fu Restaurant up at Canning Circus on Alfreton Road has that ‘authentic’ or should I say ‘slightly worn out’ look about it when you walk on by. I had often looked curiously at the menu as I was heading into out of the Organ Grinder pub on the other side of the road and…
The Barrel Drop – Awesome friendly relaxed Micro pub in Hurts Yard
The Barrel Drop can be found tucked away at the top of Hurts Yard, one of the twitchells running between Upper Parliament Street and Angel Row. It is a real hidden gem and I am almost loathe to write about it as I like the fact that it is one of the cities best secluded pubs…
Notts Tweet up at the Pitcher and Piano
This was to be my first visit to #NottsTweetUp, where ‘local tweeters meet in person every month’. OMG you mean real people and in a real place, how can this be 🙂 OK all joking aside it seemed like a great idea to meet up with some of the Nottingham guys and gals that are…
The Jukebox Café – All Day Breakfast in a kind of Builder’s Breakfast Nirvana
The Jukebox Café at 18 Hartley Road in Radford is an absolute classic café in the ‘greasy spoon’ genre. I have sampled some of their offerings over the last couple of years from their outside catering stall at the Nottingham beer festival and today I was here at the source to see what they would put…
The Time Out Café – Asian Fusion Street Food. Try the Mentaiko Pasta!
The Timeout Café hidden away on Wheeler Gate up above the shops has recently opened selling Asian Street Food. They describe themselves as a ‘Contemporary fusion café’ ‘where Asian Street Food meets Western cooking.’ I was intrigued and almost excited when I first saw that they were opening up as I love myself a bit of Street Food….
The Bob Marley Burger at the Navigation Inn
This is not my first trip to the Navigation Burger Bar in The Navigation on Wilford Street. In the past I have told you “The Navigation Burger Bar – An easy recommedation – Eat Here” . It is true I still stand by that they do serve some jolly nice beef burgers here and you should come and…
