The Toll Bridge Sandwich Bar by the River Trent has been a regular stop off for a cup of tea and a sandwich over the years when we have been taking a walk around the river. It is located on the Meadows side of the bridge in the old Toll House building, the sign detailing…

The Cod’s Scallops in West Bridgford
The Cod’s Scallops opened their latest restaurant on Wilford Lane in West Bridgford back in April. It is the sixth location for this much lauded small chain of chip shops one of which won the National Fish and Chip Shop of the year awards back in 2020. I have enjoyed eating at both the Sherwood…
Fish and Chip Friday at The Tailors Arms in Wilford
The Tailors Arms in Wilford has recently re-opened after a refurbishment, it is the re-invention of the space formerly occupied by The Wilford Green. The pub had been mostly closed over the last year which was a shame as this has always been a good spot for a pub in the area. Now I understand…
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.

Since then I can recall it being held on the Forest recreation…
Well priced Hot and Cold food at the Wilford Lane Auto’s Café – Cobs, Spuds, Toasties and Brekkie – You can’t go wrong

The Bridge Sandwich Bar in the Old Toll Booth by the River at Wilford
Despite being surrounded by tram works and barricades the Bridge Sandwich Bar on the Nottingham side of the Wilford Toll Bridge appears to be alive and kicking. You just need to follow the chalk boards to find your way inside. Hopefully it will not be that long until the Bar is released and the trams start…
The Wilford Green – “British food alongside gastropub classics”
The Wilford Green Pub on Wilford Lane has taken the place of the old Maypole Pub which sadly had been dying on it’s feet for many years. I have to say that the transformation is somewhat amazing, if you had ever been into the old Maypole you would not recognise the place now. The Wilford…
Clifton Bridge Cafe – A three generation cafe on the edge of the old Clifton estate
Clifton Bridge cafe is at the end of Wilford Lane on the edge of Wilford and Clifton. It has been run by the same family for three generations and there is a nice story of it’s history on their website “A Brief History of Land, House & Cafe by Susan Moran” plus some really nice…
