I popped into the Bridgford Fish bar this week just because I saw that it was open as I was passing by. I had not seen the lights on for ages. It does not take much of an excuse to grab a chippy lunch and this is probably the lamest excuse I have come up…

Breakfast at Cafe Olive
Cafe Olive on Radcliffe Road just off Trent Bridge is a great spot near to the River Trent and the local sports grounds to get a sandwich for lunch. When I was working in the area we used this place quite often to get a cob or a sandwich. It always seems to have a…
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. I popped along the Victoria embankment from my nearby apartment with the sole intention (pardon the pun) of checking them out as a possible option for…
Nottingham Caribbean Carnival 2017 – Jerk Chicken Please and lots of it!
This past Sunday was the Nottingham Caribbean Carnival on the Trent Embankment next to the Meadows. This carnival has been running since 1970 when a group of West Indians, mainly from the island of St Kitts, held a carnival parade in the Meadows. Since then I can recall it being held on the Forest recreation…
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…
Café Pizza on Trent Bridge – just one of my late night secret rendezvous for a snack
Café Pizza just across Trent Bridge on the South Side is perhaps one of the spots that I shouldn’t be admitting on the blog, but then again maybe it is time to be open? She is like a late night temptress and seems to have become part of myfoodhunting world on the way back from the bright lights…
Sunday Lunch at The Embankment on Trent Bridge
The Embankment on Arkwright Street just a few minutes stroll from Trent Bridge has recently been taken over by Castle Rock Brewery. As a devotee of the beers served by the Castle Rock Brewery this news was music to my ears, and salivations, or is it salutations? to my taste buds. I can remember coming…
The Trent Bridge Inn – Something from the Grill section of the menu please
The Trent Bridge Inn (The T.B.I) is a timeless classic located next to the Trent Bridge Cricket ground, home of Nottinghamshire Cricket and occasional home of England. There is a long history regarding the pub, the cricket and even Notts County who once played there for a while. You can spend time googling all that…
The Silly Sausage Cafe – A not so greasy ‘Greasy Spoon’
While I am in the UK. I am spending my time ensuring that I promote a stereotypical or is it a ‘rose tinted’ view of what this country has to offer foodwise by portraying my English Culinary horizons. To ensure that plan of attack I just had to seek out a traditional Greasy Spoon cafe, and…
