Cured on Central Avenue in West Bridgford is one of those places that has been on my radar for ages. Almost every time I walk over that zebra crossing it fills my vision and cries out to me to come in. I know that it is not really an excuse but I never seemed to have enough lunch…

The Test Match Pub on Gordon Square at the end of the High Street, run by the Greene King Pub Company, is a true classic in West Bridgford.

Homeboys by Pete Hewitt at The Taste of Rushcliffe
This last weekend I was fortunate enough to bump into Pete Hewitt from Clifton of recent BBC Masterchef fame and his “Homeboys” chicken stall at the Taste of Rushcliffe in West Bridgford. I love a chance to eat a bit of Streetfood, and I love that even more when that food is being prepared by one of…
JJ’s Food Bar for a Breakfast in a Bun
JJ’s food bar up on Boundary Road in West Bridgford is a slightly classier bacon and egg cob emporium than those which I often tell you about. It is nice and clean and friendly inside which is always a good sign. It also comes with a simple menu, mainly coming from the ‘world of the breakfast’ which…

Oscars Restaurant at the Beeches Hotel – A decent little bit of Bar Food
Oscar’s Bar and Resturant is located inside The Beeches Hotel on Wilford Lane in West Bridgford. I have had a long standing relationship with this hotel as it was part of my childhood as I grew up living just over the road. Back then it was called Monroe’s Hotel, owned and run by the Monroe…
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…
Meadow Lane Cafe – An ‘all day breakfast situation’
Last week I found myself over at the Lady Bay Industrial estate at the Meadow Lane Café in the search for a brunch type situation, to be more exact I was in the mood for an all-day-breakfast. I was pretty sure that this was the sort of place that I would be able to achieve my aim especially when…
Nottingham Riverside Festival 2014 – Some Local Food, Some Fairground Food and Plenty of Fun
This weekend between the 1st and 3rd August we visited the Nottingham Riverside Festival which was sprawling along the banks of the River Trent between Trent Bridge, the Suspension Bridge and spilling out over onto the playing fields by the Meadows. For some of us it would be all about those fairground rides like the Roller…
