Lunch at the New Art Exchange Cafe

The NAE Cafe Bar at the New Art Exchange in Hyson Green is a great spot to get some lunch if you are in the area. The food is a lot more diverse and interesting than many places in the city, I have been here many times over the years and enjoyed many different cuisines…

Lanzhou Beef Noodles – Eating everything on the menu

Lanzhou Beef Noodle on Market Street in Nottingham is my favourite spot in the city to get my fix of noodle soup. It really helps that they are the most authentic that you will find outside of any Chinatown district. Hand-pulled noodles in Nottingham? I hope you know how lucky you all are, I know…

Breakfast Burger at the Canalhouse

It only seems like a couple of weeks since I was last in The Canalhouse bar and restaurant on Canal street munching away on a “Southern Fried Chicken and Waffle Burger“. This week my Mate Martin was out again at lunchtime and told me that he was popping in for a Burger so I gave…

The Lincolnshire Poacher Pub Burger

  I really enjoyed eating this burger at The Lincolnshire Poacher up on Mansfield Road, it was a solid effort, really good wholesome pub food, the meat patty is thick and juicy, probably about an inch and a bit thick, well seasoned and smothered with loads of lovely molten cheese. The bread cob that it…

Nottingham Caribbean Carnival 2017 – Jerk Chicken Please and lots of it!

This past Sunday was the Nottingham Caribbean Carnival on the Trent Embankment next to the Meadows. This carnival has been running since 1970 when a group of West Indians, mainly from the island of St Kitts, held a carnival parade in the Meadows. Since then I can recall it being held on the Forest recreation…

Tastees on Alfreton Road in Nottingham is a takeaway and a sit down restaurant that has a supposed leaning towards the cuisine of Pakistan. We came up here midweek to try it out with a group of friends who basically like curry and also some who were from Pakistan who had suggested this as a…

The Goose at Gamston, a surprising decent stop off in the hunt for Fish and Chips (on a Friday)

The Goose at Gamston is located on the edge of the housing estate just off the A52 on the roundabout where you cross into Morrisons. I guess that does not sound that glamorous but it is accurate. It is part of the Eating Inn group and so is one of many pubs in that chain…

The Crafty Crow – A right proper boozer with Pub Food and Real Ale – Another Fish and Chips Friday

The Crafty Crow in Nottingham up by the entrance to the Castle is one of those pubs that you really should go to more often. I myself am an infrequent visitor even when I am in town, but I feel that I do not do, or have not done, this place enough justice with the count of steps I…

StreetFood Revolution UK in Hockley – Very Tasty Glazed Chicken, Awesome Couscous Salad all on Turkish Flatbread

Street Food Revolution in Hockley is located in a sort of alley alongside Rough Trade on Broad Street. I read about it a little while ago while I was out of town in the local rag where they ran a story called ‘Street Food served from a former disused alleyway in running for best experience in…

Oscars Restaurant at the Beeches Hotel – A decent little bit of Bar Food

Oscar’s Bar and Resturant is located inside The Beeches Hotel on Wilford Lane in West Bridgford. I have had a long standing relationship with this hotel as it was part of my childhood as I grew up living just over the road. Back then it was called Monroe’s Hotel, owned and run by the Monroe…
