The Silly Sausage Cafe is located inside the old Cattle Market Tavern on Meadow Lane. This building was a pub that offered refreshment to the farmers and traders at the cattle market. Apparently they had a special licence to open early on market days. I can just imagine them all popping in for a pint…

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…
All Day Breakfast at Tuckers cafe on Friar Lane – The Robin Hood Special
Tuckers on Friar Lane is one of the down to earth cafés serving up simple and filling wholesome food to the good people of Nottingham. I have had my eye on this place for a while, but never seemed to be in town early enough to get something to eat there. This time we were…
All Day Breakfast at Cafe Victoria in the Victoria Centre Market
Café Victoria is one of several cafés in the Victoria Centre Market up on the top level of the intu centre. There are several other greasy spoon type establishments in the market that all seem to have similar menus with lots of daily specials. I am going to try and work my way through them…
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.

The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard for a satisfying greasy spoon style bacon and fried egg cob
The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard is one of those local places that I love to find when I am either looking for a sandwich at lunchtime or for some sort of breakfast cob situation. It is pretty visible from the main road, but as you turn in to the side street to park you are…
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…
Meadow Lane Cafe – An ‘all day breakfast situation’
Last week I found myself over at the Lady Bay Industrial estate at the Meadow Lane Café in the search for a brunch type situation, to be more exact I was in the mood for an all-day-breakfast. I was pretty sure that this was the sort of place that I would be able to achieve my aim especially when…
Lady Bay Cafe is well worth a look – “It’s a wrap!”, a chicken wrap that is.
This week I was driving through Lady Bay in West Bridgford on a lunch time food hunt and I found the Lady Bay café on Trent Boulevard, number 147 to be exact. There was not a lot of easy parking outside, but there was plenty on the side streets. Outside there were a few bench…
Granby Kitchen – Good old fashioned greasy spoon cafe
The Granby Kitchen on Station Street is just the sort of place that you need to find when you are craving the traditional ‘greasy spoon’ cafe experience. I say that in the kindest terms as well. It is a cheap and cheerful small cafe tucked away in the row of shops adjacent to Nottingham railway station and…
The Silly Sausage Cafe – A not so greasy ‘Greasy Spoon’
While I am in the UK. I am spending my time ensuring that I promote a stereotypical or is it a ‘rose tinted’ view of what this country has to offer foodwise by portraying my English Culinary horizons. To ensure that plan of attack I just had to seek out a traditional Greasy Spoon cafe, and…
