I have sampled the fare at The Golden Fleece on Mansfield Road in Nottingham a few times this year while out food hunting for The Nottingham Food Blog (Read More Here). In those visits we had sampled the burgers, which really are very good. Today though we just had to try something different, we can’t…

The Great North Pies Co. – if they didn’t use the word ‘Great’ then I would have done anyway!
I love the food from the Great North Pies Co, and as I said in the tagline ‘if they didn’t use the word ‘Great’ then I would have done anyway!’. I have met up with them on two occasions now both times in Bakewell You can read about those trips here at the Farmer’s…
Staffordshire Savoury Eggs
I have managed to get my hands on the Scotch Eggs from the Staffordshire Savoury Eggs company on just two occasions, both times in Bakewell at the monthly Farmers Market and at the Bakewell Food Festival. I wish I could sample their delightful wares more often but the circuit that they follow is just on…
A trip to the Bakewell Farmers Market
The Bakewell Farmers market is held on the last Saturday of the month and it is an event that is well worth putting in the diary. I have been here three times now since I returned from the states and I am already starting to have a list of favorite vendors and must buy…
How a day trip to Lincoln ends up with a right Dog’s Dinner of meal!
Some time between 10.15am when we got on the train at Nottingham to Lincoln, and 17.12pm when we got on the train to return, it all went pear-shaped and it ended up being a right Dog’s Dinner. What am I talking about? Well it transpired that the Varsity Pub in Lincoln has a dish served…
Bakewell Food Festival 2013 – MyFoodHunt highlights

Matlock Bath – Promenade and Fish and Chips

I have often been tempted to stop and join in, but there has never been anywhere to park. So this last Easter weekend we decided to follow…
The Tarboush – Middle Eastern cafe and resturant
It was pouring it down with rain and was damn cold and miserable, so what better than to head for a taste of the exotic sunshine at a Middle Eastern Cafe. Despite the darkening conditions, the Tarboush Cafe stands out on Market Street in Loughborough with its warm Persian colours and frontage. It was really…
Austrian Sausages in Derbyshire England? Well why not!
A Sunday afternoon drive in the Derbyshire countryside should have been accompanied by a traditional sunday roast dinner in a country pub, but in the village of Bakewell I was drawn into sampling some sausages at the Tiroler Stuberl Austrian Coffee shop and Sausage Importer. Tiroler Stuberl is a small Family Business that has been serving…
Club sandwich or Double Decker? – its all in the toast
When is a Club Sandwich not a Club Sandwich? When it is a double decker. A Double Decker is so called because each layer of filling forms a deck, much like a double decker London bus. A club sandwich on the other hand is double-decker with two layers of fillings between three slices of toasted bread. Traditionally the club ingredients…
