It was a Friday so it was once again time to get my hands on a plate of Fish and Chips. We headed up the hill past the castle, through the hordes of Pokémon Go hunters by the Robin Hood Statue over to Watson Fothergills to see what they had on offer. The food…
The Tall Frog in West Bridgford – An Aladdin’s cave of Deli Delights
The Tall Frog on Melton Road in West Bridgford is a lovely family run deli. I quite often pop in here for a spot of lunch when I am in the area. They have a really good selection of panini, hot and cold sandwiches, pastries, savoury baked items, plus homemade soups and salads. I usually like to order…
Noor Jahan on Mansfield Road – Great value and excellent Bangladeshi Food
Noor Jahan is a down to earth, friendly welcoming Bangladeshi restaurant on Mansfield Road. I came here on recommendation to try the place out last week and it was well worth the visit. It might not be all fancy like those Indian restaurants up on Maid Marian way, but I found it to much more comfortable and relaxing…
The New Cod’s Scallops in Sherwood – More Fantastic Fish and Chips!
This weekend I visited the newly opened Sherwood branch of The Cod’s Scallops on Mansfield Road. It has only been open for a week or so and I had been excited about visiting them ever since I read that there was to be a second outlet opening. Outside as you approach it is pretty easy to…

The Bread and Bitter – Great Beer, Classic Pub Grub and a little Caribbean flair
Handmade Burger at The Bread and Bitter The last couple of weeks or so I have found myself supping my beer on a Friday night at The Bread and Bitter up on Mapperley Top. This is a totally different part of Nottingham for me to hang out in and a welcome change, brought about partly from the…
Munching Sweetkins’ Chicken, Fat Breads’ Kofta, and Dim Sum Su’s Bao at the Travelling Gastronome – Life is tough
The Travelling Gastronomers ‘the pop up food market galloping around the UK’ made another visit to Sneinton Market last weekend. I love a bit, or rather a lot, of Street Food so I was delighted to see them back! They had a whole load of Street Food vendors lined up for our delectation, and promised us ‘a one…
Well priced Hot and Cold food at the Wilford Lane Auto’s Café – Cobs, Spuds, Toasties and Brekkie – You can’t go wrong
The Café at Wilford Lane Autos in West Bridgford serves up a lot of your standard truck stop and greasy spoon café favourites. They have cobs, burgers, toasties, jacket spuds and to my delight and joy, an all-day-breakfast. I was not expecting too much when I walked into their café last week to get a cup of tea so that was…
Breakfast at The Crafty Crow – Great Pub, Great Food

It occupies the space on the corner of Gladstone Street and Radford Road that was formerly the Scotholme Hotel (another one of Nottingham’s Lost Pubs). In more recent times it was Chennai Spices another Indian Restaurant. When we first walked…
