Bunkers Hill in Nottingham is one of those city centre pubs that is just far enough away from the main drag to feel like a local. Not too many of the gobshites bother to walk down the hill through Hockley to drink in this place, so you end up with a pretty relaxed but also…

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…
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 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…
Sunday Dinner at the Curious Manor
The Curious Manor located in Trinity Place featuring The Scullery has been calling out to me for a while now. I know loads of people who have been here and they had described it as ‘A bit weird’, that ‘Mad Hatter’s like Tea Place’, and ‘They do a nice Sunday Roast’. Guess which one of…
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 Burger Special at Junkyard
I popped into Junkyard on Sunday Evening on my way back home for a quick beer and found myself feeling peckish so I ordered a Burger from the Junkyard Specials menu. It was a pretty decent burger, actually I would go as far as to say one of the tastiest I have eaten recently. You could tell that it…
The Vat and Fiddle – Excellent Beer and some Good Pub Grub
The Vat and Fiddle is the tap house of the Castle Rock Brewery and I would describe it simply as a proper pub serving proper beer. I have been treading the boards of this excellent Castle Rock pub for many a year and it has become one of our regular meeting up spots, basically our regular Friday night…
