My first encounter with Alfresco in Bridgford Park came about as I was walking along Central Avenue in West Bridgford and chanced upon their Chalk Board in the middle of the pavement. There was an arrow and the words ‘Homemade Meatballs’ and I like Meatballs. It was a bit of a grey and overcast day and…

Lunch options at Trent Bridge? – Try Olive Cafe or Crumbs
Over at Trent Bridge just by the cricket ground on Radcliffe Rd, ‘Café Olive’ and ‘Crumbs’ sit side by side, both waiting to supply the lunch crowd with it’s daily needs. It seems fitting that just as the Ashes are about to start down under that we should head over to one of the…
Sunday Brunch at the New Art Exchange
I have written about the New Art Exchange over by the Forest Recreation Ground on Gregory Boulevard before, but I had never been in on a Sunday before. We were over that way this past weekend doing a bit of shopping at the Indian Supermarket and as it was open we popped in for some…

The Village Cafe and Bistro in Keyworth
The Village Café and Bistro in Keyworth has been in the news over the last week or so with a ranking in the top ten on Tripadvisor. I am not necessarily a slave to food fashion, but when the article in the Nottingham Post was thrust into my face and I hadn’t been there, well…
Ewan Burns Cafe in Keyworth
Ewan Burns café is attached to Ewan Burns Hairdressers in Keyworth on the small strip of shops opposite to the St Mary Magdalene Church. I didn’t realize that there was a small café attached until the warmer weather arrived and the tables and chairs appeared outside on the pavement. That turns it into a nice…
“Chocks Away” cafe at Nottingham Airport in Tollerton
A little known secret that needs to be opened up to the whole wide world in the South of the County is that there is a nice little welcoming café called “Chocks Away” at Nottingham Airport in Tollerton. This is especially important if you are passing through Tollerton hunting for something to eat, as it…
The Warsaw Diner – A plate of “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly” and a Polish sausage too
On the face of it The Warsaw Diner seems to be a strange name for a Diner that appears to principally serve American style breakfasts, then when you walk in to be greeted by a couple of Polish ladies on the griddle you get the Warsaw connection, you can also get a glass of vodka,…
