The Lincolnshire Poacher up on Mansfield Road about 1o minutes walk up the hill from the Victoria Centre is without doubt one of the best pubs in the City Centre. Great beer, excellent food, and a warm welcome are just three things to bring you here. On the Castle Rock website they ponder that “The…

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…
Purecraft Bar and Kitchen – Great Burger, Craft Beer, and a Decent Steak
Purecraft Bar and Kitchen, Located in an old bank that I had never noticed before, on St Peter’s Gate is another new venue in Nottingham City centre serving up ‘craft beers’ and upscale bar food. Inside it is high ceilings and spacious, very spacious to be honest or was that actually empty of punters? I went in midweek so perhaps…
The Embankment Club and The Dispensary – Beer? Breakfast? Pizza? It is all good!
Back in August I last wrote about The Embankment Club near Trent Bridge when I came in for Castle Rock Beer and Pub Food. At that time it was in mid transformation and they were still renovating the place to add a new bar and additional restaurant space. Now those rooms have opened and we have been back…
The Barrel Drop – Awesome friendly relaxed Micro pub in Hurts Yard

Rock and Roll Burgers at the Lion in Basford – Awesome and Messy in a good way
The Lion at Basford is one of the pubs along the Nottingham Tram Line that should be on your list of pubs to visit. It has a lot going for it; a fantastic selection of beers and real ales, a lot of regular good music, and for a writer of a food blog and self confessed glutton,…
Fade and the hard to find Cafe – Taverna style bar
Fade and the ‘Hard to Find’ Café is on Mansfield Road just up past the Lincolnshire Poacher Pub. To be honest it is pretty easy to find, but the Friday evening when we visited it seemed quite quiet so perhaps it was not as easy for everyone else. Having said that it was early and perhaps this was…
Kean’s Head Pub in the Lace Market for Beer and a ‘Triple B Burger’
The Keans Head pub is located opposite St Mary’s Church in the historic Lace Market district of Nottingham on the narrow cobbled pavement of St Mary’s Gate. Apparently the building once housed a factory producing Nottingham lace, these days it is one of the Castle Rock pubs that was acquired by the Tynemill Chain in 2004….
