The Bath Inn featuring the Fish and Chips special
The Bath Inn on the corner of overlooking Sneinton Market is a proper old fashioned local pub that has these days been split into a fish and chip shop, the Bath Fryer, on one side and the Bath Inn on the other side. It was a bit of a surprise and somewhat surreal find a…
The Falcon Inn – Wood Fire, Good Beer, and Pulled Pork
The Falcon Inn is well situated up on Canning Circus in Nottingham, it has recently reopened and is now a collaboration between the Adrian and Tina Draper, who run Fellows, Morton, and Clayton down on Canal Street, and Anthony Hughes of the Lincoln Green Brewing Company.

Some spicy experimentation with Ghar Ka Khana at Chai ‘n’ Coffee in Edwalton
Driving through Edwalton this week looking for some lunch I spotted a sign for the C ‘n’ C or the Chai ‘n’ Coffee House. A closer look and I saw that they are run by Ghar Ka Khana, who I have seen at a number of local markets selling Indian snacks such as Pakoras, and…
Guest Post: The Travellers Rest on Mapperley Plains
My better half and I decided to have a snack at the Travellers Rest on Mapperley Plains. The pub is situated in a picturesque rural setting with ample parking, and outside seating at both the front and rear, and is a couple of minutes drive from Mapperley Top. The pub itself is well presented with…
