Burg has opened up recently on Plains Road selling Smash Burgers from a small outlet opposite the excellent Bread and Bitter pub and just a few minutes away from the Plains Fish bar and Hoo Tak takeaway. I had been driving past for a while waiting for them to open, then a couple of weeks…
The Bean and Vine in Newark
The Bean & Vine Coffee Lounge and Bistro is located in Newark’s historic market place inside what was once a chemists. I glean that based purely on the old signage above the front door, not through any rigorous research. At the moment they are just offering takeaway food, which was what we had, but I…

Fish Bites from Moulin Rouge
Today we were having a very simple meal from the Moulin Rouge in town, everything was shutdown and there were not too many options. No dining in, so chippy action seemed to be the best of what we could find. I have been to eat inside the Moulin Rouge in the past (read more here)…
Bimble to Boathouse Cafe at Beeston Marina
The Boat House Cafe by Beeston Marina is a terrific place to stop at when out on a walk along the river. We end up bimbling our way here several times a year and every so often I end up writing a blog post about the place. This visit was just before they announced that…

Sunday Lunch at Fellows Morton and Clayton
Fellows, Morton & Clayton or FMC as we call the place for short was our port of call by the canal for Sunday Lunch this week. I have eaten and imbibed here a lot over the years and have blogged several times about the place. In that time a number of landlords and Landladies have…
Sunday Lunch at the Roundhouse
The Roundhouse in Nottingham was taken over by the team behind the excellent award winning Bakehouse in Sherwood earlier in the year. We really meant to hit them up for Sunday Lunch back in March but then Covid reared it’s head and lockdown happened so we missed our chance. This weekend we were up by…
Back to Bun Mii for a bowl of Chicken Pho
Bun Mii on George Street in Nottingham is a super little cafe serving up ‘Healthy & Natural Vietnamese Food’. I have eaten here a fair bit over the last couple of years and have managed to blog about most of the things on their menu. The first time I visited it was all about their…
Detroit Style Pizza at the Tap House
The Tap House on Byards Lane in Nottingham is a bit of a curious place, where you serve your own drink from a Beer Wall. If that sound familiar then you may be thinking about their other project Another? Wine bar where they offer self serve wine. It’s a good concept as you can have…
