Fish and Chip Friday at the Embankment Club and Kitchen
It was Fish and Chip Friday and I found myself in The Embankment Pub by Trent Bridge looking up at a Chalkboard that was enticing me with an offer of Beer Battered Haddock with Chips for £9.95.

Fish and Chips at the Brewhouse and Kitchen on Trent Bridge
The Brewhouse & Kitchen at Trent Bridge is the latest encumbent of the pub building that has housed The Town Arms, The Aviary, and Casa during my Nottingham Lifetime.

Since then I can recall it being held on the Forest recreation…

Boavista on Radford Road in Hyson Green is a Portuguese café and restaurant catering for the locals, and the local Portuguese expat community. As we found ourselves walking up past the café checking out the area near the tram stop we peered in the window. As we did the window cleaner, of all people, told us…
A Fish and Chips Friday at The Trent Navigation
The Trent Navigation on Meadow Lane just steps from the Canal and from Notts County is the home of the Navigation Brewery and one of the local landmark pubs in the area. It is a great place to meet up for a pint before a home match and is even a place to meet up before heading off for…

The Real Burger Company (RBCO) in Hyson Green is quietly cooking up some pretty decent burgers in this city of ours. It might be a little bit out of the way from the city centre to be noticed by everyone, but really it is just a short tram ride away from the Old Market Square…
