Brunch at A-Venue in West Bridgford
The Avenue in West Bridgford is the newest kid finding its way onto the block down Central Avenue. It is the newest incumbent of the building formerly occupied by Cured, and by Belle and Jerome. I walked by on a bimble last Thursday and saw signs of life, so this Friday I made a plan…
A Fish and Chips Friday at the Apple Tree
The Apple Tree on Compton Acres in West Bridgford is one of the pubs in the Ember Inns family. I drive past a lot on my way out of town when I avoiding the A453 and taking the back roads through Ruddington. Loads of my mates tell me that it is good value and that…
Mud Crab Pacifico in West Bridgford – 2 Course Special Lunch with Fish and Chips
Mud Crab Pacifico was the joint of choice for a big team lunch outing this week. I have dined only a couple of times here in the Crab at Bridgford and often feel I should come in more often as it is so close to my apartment. The place always seems popular when I walk…
Hot Diggety, looking for a Hot Dog – The Trent Bridge Inn sorted me out with some sausage in a bun

The decor is…
The Big One at The Poppy and Pint – A most excellent English Breakfast
This weekend we stopped off at the Poppy and Pint in Lady Bay as we found ourselves in a breakfast situation. We were at the start of a road trip up north to Manchester for a family gathering to celebrate Mum’s 70th. On trips like this you are never quite sure when the next meal is coming from…
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…
The Tall Frog in West Bridgford – An Aladdin’s cave of Deli Delights
The Tall Frog on Melton Road in West Bridgford is a lovely family run deli. I quite often pop in here for a spot of lunch when I am in the area. They have a really good selection of panini, hot and cold sandwiches, pastries, savoury baked items, plus homemade soups and salads. I usually like to order…
Well priced Hot and Cold food at the Wilford Lane Auto’s Café – Cobs, Spuds, Toasties and Brekkie – You can’t go wrong
The Café at Wilford Lane Autos in West Bridgford serves up a lot of your standard truck stop and greasy spoon café favourites. They have cobs, burgers, toasties, jacket spuds and to my delight and joy, an all-day-breakfast. I was not expecting too much when I walked into their café last week to get a cup of tea so that was…
