The BoatHouse café at Beeston Marina is one great spot to find if you have been on a big bimble along the River from Bridgford to Attenborough Nature Reserve. On their website they say that it is: “Run by Sandie and the (completely!) irrepressible Tony, the Boathouse Café offers a great place to stop and refuel! Try…

A Fantastic Breakfast and super sandwich at the Village Cafe and Bistro in Keyworth
The Village Café and Bistro in Keyworth is a super spot for a quiet relaxed brunch if you are over this way passing through the South Notts village. They are usually open from 9am until 3pm every day except for Saturday and they serve a mix of breakfast, brunch, and lunch specials. I last wrote about…
Pub Sandwiches at the Grosvenor in Carrington up on Mansfield Road in Nottingham
The Grosvenor on Mansfield Road in Carrington is one of those pubs that seem to have been there for ages. I last blogged about this place back in 2014 when it was owned by John Barras, today it seems to be a Greene King pub. We popped in for a bite to eat prior to a…
The Vat and Fiddle – Excellent Beer and some Good Pub Grub
The Vat and Fiddle is the tap house of the Castle Rock Brewery and I would describe it simply as a proper pub serving proper beer. I have been treading the boards of this excellent Castle Rock pub for many a year and it has become one of our regular meeting up spots, basically our regular Friday night…
The Bryer’s Deli in East Leake Daily Special is worth taking a chance on – They make excellent sandwiches
I love going to Bryer’s Deli over in East Leake and often pop over to get a sandwich when I am in the area. Now usually my sandwich of choice is the combination of Chorizo with Barbers Cheddar on White Bread, which I have eaten a number of times, but on this visit I decided to let…
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…
The Bridge Sandwich Bar in the Old Toll Booth by the River at Wilford
Despite being surrounded by tram works and barricades the Bridge Sandwich Bar on the Nottingham side of the Wilford Toll Bridge appears to be alive and kicking. You just need to follow the chalk boards to find your way inside. Hopefully it will not be that long until the Bar is released and the trams start…
Ewan Burns Cafe in Keyworth
Ewan Burns café is attached to Ewan Burns Hairdressers in Keyworth on the small strip of shops opposite to the St Mary Magdalene Church. I didn’t realize that there was a small café attached until the warmer weather arrived and the tables and chairs appeared outside on the pavement. That turns it into a nice…
Loch Fyne – a leisurely set lunch
I am somewhat fond of the Loch Fyne Restuarant in Nottingham, even though it is part of a small nationwide chain, the food is still well sourced and usually of good quality. I have only been to the one in Nottingham so cannot compare it to any of the others, and I have been to…
