On the face of it The Castle Pub opposite the entrance to Nottingham Castle should be my idea of perfection. I have been here on numerous occasions to enjoy a pint of Harvest Pale but I had never eaten here. The main reason being that it is usually really busy on a Friday night when…

The Bath Inn featuring the Fish and Chips special
The Bath Inn on the corner of overlooking Sneinton Market is a proper old fashioned local pub that has these days been split into a fish and chip shop, the Bath Fryer, on one side and the Bath Inn on the other side. It was a bit of a surprise and somewhat surreal find a…

Fellows for a pint before the football
It all started off so well, I arrived at the Fellows, Morton, and Clayton Pub just before 7pm, got myself a pint, and settled down to peruse the food specials board. I was genuinely surprised to see some really quite tempting options on there, the two that stood out were an “8hr slow cooked ox…
Fish and Chips at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem – The oldest pub in England
If you are drinking beer at the “Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem”, the oldest pub in England, then why not consume a plate of Fish and Chips to go with it? There is no good answer as to why not, so I took the safe option and did just that. Although it was quite tasty it was a…
