As I strolled over to catch the tram into the city from the Clifton South Tram Stop, I was pleasantly surprised to find The Platform, a kiosk selling hot and cold drinks, sandwiches and the odd cake. I did not expect to find anything to eat or drink at the Park and Ride at the…

The Kitchen at NottCutts (Wheatcroft Garden Centre) – some occasional lunching
The last week or so I have been partaking of quite a few lunches at The Kitchen at Notcutts. This is also known as The Street Kitchen and is formerly know as the café at Harry Wheatcrofts’ Garden Centre. I first came here to their new café back in November when I wrote about “Fish…
Clifton Cob Shop selling… well cobs! and I had a nice Roast Pork cob
Clifton Cob Shop at 28 Southchurch Drive is right on the corner of Varney Street. It is a simple place serving up hot and cold cobs, just the sort of place that you need in your life when you want a bite to eat at lunch and you don’t want to eat at some boring…
Quality Doorstop sandwiches at Attenborough Nature Reserve
Attenborough Nature Reserve is located about 6 miles south of the City in the old gravel pits near to Attenborough. It has been evolving since around 1966 when part of the working pits were converted to a reserve that was opened by Sir David Attenborough. In 2005 the visitor centre was opened up and in that centre…
Homemade Café at the Forest Recreation Ground
I really like going to Homemade in the city centre but it is so popular and busy sometimes it is hard to find a table. So bearing that in mind this Sunday afternoon we took a little stroll across the Forest Recreation ground past all the kids young and old playing football on the park…
Edin’s Natural Kitchen in Hockley for a weekend brunch stop
Edins Natural Kitchen is in the old William Taylor Jewellery shop at 15 Carlton Street in Hockely. The Jewellers had been in the city since 1854 and closed for the last time in December 2012. As you pass by you may be forgiven for thinking that they are still there as their name is still prominent…
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…
The Royal Oak – More Moleface Magic? Yes!
The Royal Oak ‘pub & kitchen’ in Radcliffe on Trent is another member of the Moleface Stable of pubs in the Nottinghamshire Region. I have always had an enjoyable and memorable dining experience with Moleface at the Larwood & Voce in West Bridgford and I was hoping for more of the same from the Royal…
Mrs Bunn’s Cob Emporium
Mrs Bunn’s Cob Emporium is on Musters Road in West Bridgford and has one of the most promising names that I have found for some time on my hunt for a decent sandwich in and around the county. When I read the name I was instantly thinking off Mrs Miggin’s Pie Shop from Blackadder for…
