Braised Beef Ramen at Noodlee
Noodlee in Nottingham opened recently in Trinity Square just across from the Cornerhouse. On first inspection I thought that it was just another fast noodle joint like Wok & Go or a Chinese carton takeout like Chopstix. I was wrong they are offering dishes made with freshly made noodles.

G. H. Porter Provisions in Newark – My Favourite Bacon (and more)
G H Porter Provisons is one of my favorite delis and butchers in town and probably the whole country.
