Lowes @ No.8 in Compton Acres is a fairly new cafe on the scene in the bustling Shopping Centre just off Compton Acres Road. It sits nestled between the Tesco Express and the Ala Turka restaurant in the space formerly occupied by a wedding dress shop. I have been in 3 or 4 times over…

Forde’s Coffee and Sandwich Bar
Forde’s Coffee and Sandwich Bar on Tudor Square in West Bridgford is located in the building formerly occupied by Philo’s. It is a very friendly place, nice people, decent spot of lunch and they do a nice Latte. We have popped in and out a few times over the last month or so for lunch…
PJ’s American Diner in Newark – “Washington Waffles”
PJ’s American Diner in Newark is located just off St Marks Place on Clinton Arms Street (It also seems to be known as PJ’s American Coffee Bar). We popped in to see if they were the real deal or just another spot jumping on the Americana wagon. I have eaten in many such places in…
Boavista in Hyson Green, a Portuguese haven and cafe serving up a whole lot of Portugal on a plate
Boavista on Radford Road in Hyson Green is a Portuguese café and restaurant catering for the locals, and the local Portuguese expat community. As we found ourselves walking up past the café checking out the area near the tram stop we peered in the window. As we did the window cleaner, of all people, told us…
The Tall Frog in West Bridgford – An Aladdin’s cave of Deli Delights
The Tall Frog on Melton Road in West Bridgford is a lovely family run deli. I quite often pop in here for a spot of lunch when I am in the area. They have a really good selection of panini, hot and cold sandwiches, pastries, savoury baked items, plus homemade soups and salads. I usually like to order…
Well priced Hot and Cold food at the Wilford Lane Auto’s Café – Cobs, Spuds, Toasties and Brekkie – You can’t go wrong
The Café at Wilford Lane Autos in West Bridgford serves up a lot of your standard truck stop and greasy spoon café favourites. They have cobs, burgers, toasties, jacket spuds and to my delight and joy, an all-day-breakfast. I was not expecting too much when I walked into their café last week to get a cup of tea so that was…
The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard for a satisfying greasy spoon style bacon and fried egg cob
The Crusty Cob on Castle Boulevard is one of those local places that I love to find when I am either looking for a sandwich at lunchtime or for some sort of breakfast cob situation. It is pretty visible from the main road, but as you turn in to the side street to park you are…
Gourmet Kitchen at Nottingham Station Tram Hub
A couple of months back the central Hub for the Tram moved into Nottingham Station, and now that two new tram lines to Clifton South and Toton have opened, it is a good place to jump off the tram and switch lines. If like me you find yourself needing to get a quick snack in…
The Platform Kiosk – Snacks at the End of the Tram Line at Clifton South
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…
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…
