Route 1 – Nottingham to Hucknall

I have been trying to locate places to eat along the length of the Nottingham Tram System Route 1 between Nottingham and Hucknall.  In general I have been making use of the maps on the NET website that give you a 5 minute walking radius from each of the station stops. Here are links to some of the places I have found so far

The Navigation Burger Bar – ‘An easy recommedation – Eat Here’

“The burger sandwich had just about the right amount of salad filling, enough to add some crunch, some sweetness from the tomato, and enough to ease the conscience. I was quite a fan of the burger bun, it is a nice soft white flour bun. The juice from the burger soaked well into the top layer and the cheese had also oozed into the bread as well giving the sandwich a nice soft melty bite.”

Fellows, Morton, and Clayton – ‘Excellent Pulled Pork Sandwich.’

“It is what I would describe as a proper pub. It serves good, well kept beers and good wholesome home cooked food.”

Canal House Bar and Resturant– ‘Nice homemade Venison Burger’
