The National Videogame Arcade is the home to many an arcade machine and retro game system classic. It is a great place to hang out for kids of all ages and many people I talked to hadn’t been in because they think that you have to get a ticket to go in. Well you do need one for the…

Watson Fothergills – Ale Battered Haddock Fillet (aka Fish and Chips)
It was a Friday so it was once again time to get my hands on a plate of Fish and Chips. We headed up the hill past the castle, through the hordes of Pokémon Go hunters by the Robin Hood Statue over to Watson Fothergills to see what they had on offer. The food…
Zaap that Thai Street Food
Zaap in Nottingham, recently opened up on Bromley Place, is another chain restaurant hitting our fair city. It might be just a small chain so far with another outlet in Leeds, but it is a themed restaurant nonetheless (so I apologise for following the crowd, but do not apologise for stuffing my face). On their website they…

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…
Desperately Seeking Hot Dog – "preferably of the cheap and nasty variety"
I should have known better, and I did know better, but that did not stop me pretending to believe that I could get a nice hot dog from a random kiosk in the UK. I was strolling along the banks of the River Trent and feeling quite good that I had chosen my lunch…
Jamie’s Italian – Nottingham
It’s hard not to get excited about a trip to one of Jamie Oliver’s resturants, over the years he has been almost constantly in the spotlight and gets as much good press and he gets bad press. He has probably featured equally on the what’s hot and what’s not lists. I think to me his greatest…
