On Friday night we found ourselves at the Embankment Pub down by the river having a few pints after work. It got to the point when we really needed some food before the consumption of beer got out of hand. “lets go for a curry” someone said, followed by “but the beer here is so…

The Boat Inn in Lenton – Real Ale and Pub Grub
The Boat Inn at Lenton is a proper local, serving a decent pint and plenty of simple pub grub to soak it up with. The pub is tucked away on Priory Street a small side road joining up to Abbey Bridge one of the main roads running past the QMC and backing on to the…
Pub Lunch at the Poppy and Pint
The Poppy and Pint is a great community pub, situated inside the old British Legion building, right in the midst of Lady Bay. While it is primarily a Pub at heart serving Real Ales and Great Pub Food, it also acts as social hub for the local people and local groups. I have been here…

Fish and Chips at the Brewhouse and Kitchen on Trent Bridge

Hot Diggety, looking for a Hot Dog – The Trent Bridge Inn sorted me out with some sausage in a bun
