The Stratford Haven on Stratford Road in West Bridgford is an excellent local pub for a pint and a bit of pub grub. I can still remember the days when the building was a pet shop as we used to go there to get stuff for our cats and dogs, that was back in the…

Fish and Chip Friday at Fellows, Morton, and Clayton
Fellows, Morton & Clayton on Canal Street in Nottingham has been a long standing member of the local real ale pub community. Over recent years it has had a bit of a turbulent time, it has been opened and closed down a couple of times, and throughout all that time I think we have all…
Curry Night at The Embankment
