Lowes @ No.8 in Compton Acres is a fairly new cafe on the scene in the bustling Shopping Centre just off Compton Acres Road. It sits nestled between the Tesco Express and the Ala Turka restaurant in the space formerly occupied by a wedding dress shop. I have been in 3 or 4 times over…

The Boathouse Cafe at Beeston Marina is a friendly and welcoming spot to head for if you are bimbling along the river or wandering your way along the paths from Attenborough.

All Day Breakfast at Coffee N Cream in Bulwell
Coffee N Cream is located down Commercial Road in Bulwell and has been family owned since 2009. When I wandered in I had been drawn in by the sign on the shop front that said ‘All Day Breakfast’. The sign also said Latte and Frothy Coffee, to be honest I thought that Latte was Frothy…
Breakfast at Cafe Olive
Cafe Olive on Radcliffe Road just off Trent Bridge is a great spot near to the River Trent and the local sports grounds to get a sandwich for lunch. When I was working in the area we used this place quite often to get a cob or a sandwich. It always seems to have a…
Bun Mii Vietnamese cafe – Bun Thit Nuong and a Banh Mi
Bun Mii on George Street is a Vietnamese Café serving up a small menu of classic dishes from Vietnam. I came here a while back in November 2017 when I tried out the Pho (read more about that here). It was pretty good and I always meant to come back and try everything else. It…
Edins Continental Cafe – Menu Del Dia
I first blogged about Edins in Broad Street back in June 2013 when I described my experience as ‘a quite delightful light lunch’. I had just had a simple meal of ‘Ham Hock & Tarragon Pasta Shells with a Dijon Mustard Sauce‘ as part of a lunchtime deal that also included a bowl of…
Jumbo Breakfast at Chocks Away in Nottingham Airport at Tollerton
Breakfast Time at Chocks Away “Chocks Away” is the sort of place where you pop in for a simple bacon cob and end up with a massive plateful of lovely breakfast joy. In fact I sometimes feel that the breakfast menu at Chocks Away is really masquerading as a kind of competition 🙂 Just…
The Boathouse Cafe at Beeston Marina – BLT and a Toasted tea cake … nice!
The BoatHouse café at Beeston Marina is one great spot to find if you have been on a big bimble along the River from Bridgford to Attenborough Nature Reserve. On their website they say that it is: “Run by Sandie and the (completely!) irrepressible Tony, the Boathouse Café offers a great place to stop and refuel! Try…
The Chock’s Away Cafe – Breakfast and Brunch at Tollerton Airport
I love Chocks Away! I hadn’t been here for a while and I had forgotten just how good a little café it is. The last time I blogged about it was back in 2013 when I popped in for a bacon butty and a tuna melt. You can read about those visits here Since my…
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…
