Temple of Heaven at the end of Broad Street is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in town. It is kind of tucked away just past the Lord Roberts, and the Newmarket pubs down near the junction with Lower Parliament Street so you just need to keep walking down from Hockley to find it. I…

Fish and Chip Friday’s in and around West Bridgford

Hot Pang in Beeston: Beef Noodles and Fried Dumplings
Hot Pang in Beeston sits on the corner of Regent Street and the High Road, it is so much on the corner that the shop front is actually curved. I had been drawn to dine here by the pictures of steaming sichuan hot pots dishes in the window as I passed by last weekend on…

Brunch at Rye Bar in Beeston: The Full English
Rye Cafe Bar lies on the High Road in Beeston, it is on that pedestrianised section where most of the actions seems to be. There are quite a few cafes and eateries on this stretch and this place always looks quite busy and popular which seemed to be a good sign. I managed to get…

Botti di Mamma on Broad Street owned by Edin Gondzic is the most recent reimagination of the space formerly occupied by Edins Deli Cafe and Edins Continental Cafe. The last time I was eating here was in July last year when they had knocked the Deli Cafe through into Lee Rosies Tea room to expand…
