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…

The Hungry Pumpkin, a deli and café in the Lace Market for lunch
Today I rode up on the Clifton South Tram line from the Embankment stop to pick up some lunch at the Hungry Pumpkin deli café in the Lace Market. This delightful café is located just next to St Mary’s on High Pavement. From the Lace Market Tram stop just head towards the Cathedral past the…
Gourmet Kitchen at Nottingham Station Tram Hub
A couple of months back the central Hub for the Tram moved into Nottingham Station, and now that two new tram lines to Clifton South and Toton have opened, it is a good place to jump off the tram and switch lines. If like me you find yourself needing to get a quick snack in…
Jo’s Pancake House – Bacon and Maple Syrup? On Pancakes? don’t mind if I do!
Jo’s Pancake House on Ilkeston Road is another great find for me as a place to indulge and fuel my search for American themed food in Nottingham. It was also quite a random find as I was just driving around the city over in the general direction of Canning Circus to see what I could find…
The Avenues Café at Sneinton Market
The Avenues Café in Sneinton formally known as ‘Tasty Bites’ has apparently been in the market area for around 20 years. It is right next door to the GB café, so close that when you are inside at the counter you wonder if they are sharing a kitchen. I don’t think that they are, I…
A “Full English” at Joe’s Cafe and Cob Shop near Colwick Vale
During a lunchtime I was out and about in the MyFoodHunt mobile looking for some new places to lunch. For no particular reason I found myself following the bus route through Colwick Vale towards Netherfield. I hadn’t driven along here for ages and I was hoping to find some sort of café. I was in…
The Corner Cafe in Netherfield – Full English Breakfast and erm.. some other stuff too (probably)
The Corner Café in Netherfield is another local community establishment that deserves another look. It is a bright and friendly establishment that seems to be focussed on your standard café fare with a few extra items. More about those at the end of the post, but just for now lets just assume that I came…
Cafe 67 on the Colwick Industrial estate – Friendly Cafe with Decent Food
Café 67 is in the middle of the Colwick Loop industrial estate on Road No 2. I found the place on a food hunting lunch time sortie when I was using my ‘radar’ and guessing that there would be some sort of café on the industrial estate, or perhaps I was just driving aimlessly about feeling hungry? Either…
Core’s Bistro in Lady Bay – Excellent and Honest Polish food
Core’s Bistro in Lady Bay was quite an excellent find and I have been in a couple of times now. According to their website the name is an acronym for ‘Community, Opportunity, Resources, and Expertise’. The Bistro is a partnership I understand between Maria Spalek (the owner) and Joanna Prusaczyk (Read more of the story on their website…
Gracie’s Cafe in Ruddington – Homemade Pie and Really Good Homemade Chips
Gracies Café on the High Street in Ruddington (number 14) is one of your old school cafés that is not trying to be a bistro, not trying to get bonus points by using all the ‘local organic produce’ that has been handpicked by a lithe old chap from his allotment or small holding that has been…
