Piginns Cafe and Bar on Carlton Hill is the latest spot in town that I have found to take part in one of my favorite hobbies which is eating breakfast. While I do enjoy a fancy breakfast with ingredients of provenance sourced from the local farmshop, I am equally happy with a far more humble…
Prickly Pear at the Golden Fleece
Prickly Pear are in residence in the kitchen of the Golden Fleece pub on Mansfield Road serving up a whole lot of tasty food from their vegan menu. If the name sounds familiar well it should be as they have been around for a while in town formerly occupying their own cafe further down the…
Smash-burgers at Onur Burger
Onur Burger on Alfreton Road appears at first sight to be just another halal takeaway joint but reading their website they appear to have loftier ambition and a calling “Our restaurant was inspired by the desire to let everyone in Nottingham try what they have always been missing out on, the ONUR patty. This secret…
Caribbean Food at Wavey Kitchen
Wavey Kitchen on Meadow Lane has recently opened and are serving some Excellent Caribbean Food action. The sign above the door says ‘Waves of Flavours’ and based on our visit and what we ate I have to say that is very true. We popped our heads around the door last weekend looking to see if…
Brunch at Bread & Lard Island
Bread & Lard Island is located on Trent Blvd one of the main thoroughfares in Lady Bay and seems to be very popular amongst the locals. The cafe was busy when we visited and I felt slightly out of place sitting there in my walking gear amongst the ‘posh’ people all dressed up out for…

I do like the tastes of Vietnam so when I heard I was really keen to check them out…

They have totally transformed the former Jewellers Store with just the clock left on the outside to show the buildings former use. Inside it has been…
Back to Suede Bar for a Pizza d’action
Back in 2012, when I first started out on the journey of The Nottingham Food Blog, Suede Lounge Bar and Pizza Kitchen was the place to go in town for a Pizza. I was oblivious to all that so when I came into the office raving about a new place I had found called Oscar…
Detroit Pizza (Detroit X Strezza) on Canal Street
Detroit x Strezza @detroitstrezza recently opened their doors in the old Sainsbury’s site attached to and part of the Industry bar on the corner of Canal Street and Carrington Street I popped in over lunch to grab a taste and to see what they had to offer, it was no surprise that they are serving up their…
Crunch in West Bridgford: Sunday Dinner for Lunch (sort of)
Crunch in West Bridgford is one of those ‘build your own’ bowl spots, the sort of place I usually avoid in expectation of a boring buddha bowl or something piled high with salad and bereft of much joy. So imagine my delight when I found that they offered up a kind of Roast Dinner! I…
