This weekend we stopped off at the Poppy and Pint in Lady Bay as we found ourselves in a breakfast situation. We were at the start of a road trip up north to Manchester for a family gathering to celebrate Mum’s 70th. On trips like this you are never quite sure when the next meal is coming from…
Son of Steak – Checking out some ‘fast casual’ Steak and Chips in Trinity Square
Son of Steak in Trinity Square Nottingham near to the Cornerhouse is a recent addition to the dining scene in the City Centre. The name of the place probably gives away the type of food on offer. I had read that this place has opened up and that they were serving reasonably priced Steak meals….
Kayal on Broadway, excellent Southern Indian Fare- my tagline “Five went to eat Thali”
Kayal in Nottingham serves up classic Southern Indian fare, describing it as ‘Kerala Backwater Cuisine’. I do love this type of food and I have blogged once before about this place when I came here late one evening on one of those “works leaving do’s” – Read about that here ‘Kayal in Nottingham – Backwater Cuisine…
Red Dog Saloon – ‘Another’ American themed restaurant in Nottingham
Red Dog Saloon on Victoria street in Nottingham is another restaurant that has opened up in the city serving up American BBQ themed food and Burgers. I am not really sure that we need all of these places to be honest, but I thought I should try them out. They say that they serve Kansas City…
The Real Burger Company – Serving Gourmet Halal Burgers in Hyson Green
The Real Burger Company (RBCO) in Hyson Green is quietly cooking up some pretty decent burgers in this city of ours. It might be a little bit out of the way from the city centre to be noticed by everyone, but really it is just a short tram ride away from the Old Market Square…
The “Big Breakfast” in Morrisons at Gamston
Today I ate my breakfast in the café at Morrisons in Gamston. I decided to take a chance. This is a very dangerous thing to do, especially on a Sunday, the day that the food God gave us to enjoy the best meal of the day at great leisure. This is serious, I really went all out in…
Café Pizza on Trent Bridge – just one of my late night secret rendezvous for a snack
Café Pizza just across Trent Bridge on the South Side is perhaps one of the spots that I shouldn’t be admitting on the blog, but then again maybe it is time to be open? She is like a late night temptress and seems to have become part of myfoodhunting world on the way back from the bright lights…
The Angel Microbrewery – A nice pint and a rather interesting burger
The Angel Microbrewery on Stoney Street is the reincarnation of the Old Angel Pub which has been on this corner since the 1600’s. I will admit that I hadn’t been in here for at least 25 years, I used to come in in my polytechnic days when we were happy to slum it. We liked…
The Frame Breakers – Excellent Pub Lunch with Great Food and Beer in Ruddington
Frame Breakers on the High Street in Ruddington is a right proper pub serving up in their own words ‘Great Beer and Good Food’. It is part of the Nottingham Brewery Family, the same group that have the Ned Ludd in the City Centre. The last time I came into this pub it was called the Bricklayers…
The National Videogame Arcade Toast Bar and Garden – all sorts of Toasted Snacks while you play
The National Videogame Arcade is the home to many an arcade machine and retro game system classic. It is a great place to hang out for kids of all ages and many people I talked to hadn’t been in because they think that you have to get a ticket to go in. Well you do need one for the…
