Breakfast at Thunder Road Kitchen

Thunder Road Kitchen is located on the crossroads of Goldsmith Street, Talbot Street, and Burton Street. It  is just across the road from the Nottingham Conference Centre and a few minutes walk from the Crowne Plaza, The Nottingham Trent University and the Theatre Royal Concert Hall. I found myself dining in here this week as…

Breakfast at Mary’s Kitchen near Sneinton Market

Mary’s Kitchen near to Sneinton Market on Southwell Road in Nottingham is a great little cafe. It would be somewhat churlish to describe it as a ‘greasy spoon’ as it was a lot cleaner and brighter inside than your average ‘caff‘ I popped in this week in search of a breakfast and was pretty happy…

Breakfast at The Picnic Basket

I love the Picnic Basket on Carrington Street! I always pick this place over the nearby chains if I want a cup of tea and a sandwich. When we are getting the train out of town it is my first stop in the morning for a bacon cob which comes with a free cup of…

Breakfast at The Silly Sausage in the Cattle Market

The Silly Sausage Cafe is located inside the old Cattle Market Tavern on Meadow Lane. This building was a pub that offered refreshment to the farmers and traders at the cattle market. Apparently they had a special licence to open early on market days. I can just imagine them all popping in for a pint…

Jo-Hanna’s Bistro and Cafe – Great spot for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch and Dinner in Lowdham!

Jo-Hanna’s Bistro and Café  in Lowdham was the perfect place to meet up before we took on a 17 mile (ish) pub crawl through the villages over to Southwell. It seemed like a good idea at the time, although I am sure we could have found as many pubs if we had just stuck to…

All Day Breakfast at Tuckers cafe on Friar Lane – The Robin Hood Special

Tuckers on Friar Lane is one of the down to earth cafés serving up simple and filling wholesome food to the good people of Nottingham. I have had my eye on this place for a while, but never seemed to be in town early enough to get something to eat there. This time we were…

Breakfast and Brunch at The Black Cat Cafe in Ruddington

The Black Cat Cafe in Ruddington has been open for about a year now and is in the same location as Mathew’s Deli and Cafe. I had driven past quite a few times and saw the name change and had just assumed that it was just that a rebrand, but then I read up and…

Breakfast at The Bank Pub in the Market Square

The Bank Pub on the Market Square in Nottingham is located in the building that formerly hosted the Barclays Bank, an establishment that for many years I trusted to look after my hard earned piles of cash. These days however I have transferred my late night Friday trust to the pub known as the Bank…

The Tea Cosy Cafe in Edwalton – Cakes, Sandwiches, and Breakfasts ‘thanks very much’

The Tea Cosy Café in Edwalton is located alongside and kind of inside the post office on Earlswood Drive. They have a Facebook Page and a website too. The last time I blogged about a café in the post office it was called the Chai ‘n’ Coffee House and was a café with an Indian twist…

The Humble Cat in Radcliffe on Trent – Super Friendly and Quaint Tea Shop

The Humble Cat in Radcliffe on Trent is a very homely little café. the day we went in it was packed out, almost every table was full with the blue rinsed ‘ladies wot lunch’ and a number of families all taking in luncheon and tea. I last wrote about this place back in 2013 when…
