Fish and Chips at the Brewhouse and Kitchen on Trent Bridge

The Brewhouse & Kitchen at Trent Bridge is the latest encumbent of the pub building that has housed The Town Arms, The Aviary, and Casa during my Nottingham Lifetime. I popped along the Victoria embankment from my nearby apartment with the sole intention (pardon the pun) of checking them out as a possible option for…

Café Pizza on Trent Bridge – just one of my late night secret rendezvous for a snack

Café Pizza just across Trent Bridge on the South Side is perhaps one of the spots that I shouldn’t be admitting on the blog, but then again maybe it is time to be open? She is like a late night temptress and seems to have become part of myfoodhunting world on the way back from the bright lights…

Bean by the River – lovely coffee, sandwiches and homemade cake

  Bean by the River is located on the South Side of the embankment just next to the old band stand opposite the Suspension Bridge where you can cross over the River Trent from the Meadows to West Bridgford and vice versa. I had been looking at this prime space for ages thinking it could make a…

The Embankment Club and The Dispensary – Beer? Breakfast? Pizza? It is all good!

    Back in August I last wrote about The Embankment Club near Trent Bridge when I came in for Castle Rock Beer and Pub Food. At that time it was in mid transformation and they were still renovating the place to add a new bar and additional restaurant space. Now those rooms have opened and we have been back…

Sunday Lunch at The Embankment on Trent Bridge

The Embankment on Arkwright Street just a few minutes stroll from Trent Bridge has recently been taken over by Castle Rock Brewery. As a devotee of the beers served by the Castle Rock Brewery this news was music to my ears, and salivations, or is it salutations? to my taste buds. I can remember coming…

Nottingham Riverside Festival 2014 – Some Local Food, Some Fairground Food and Plenty of Fun

This weekend between the 1st and 3rd August we visited the Nottingham Riverside Festival which was  sprawling along the banks of the River Trent between Trent Bridge, the Suspension Bridge and spilling out over onto the playing fields by the Meadows.    For some of us it would be all about those fairground rides like the Roller…

South Bank Bar – Searching for a classic Club Sandwich and meeting the All-In-One

The South Bank bar in Nottingham is located as it’s name suggests on the South Bank of the River Trent on the Southern End of Trent Bridge  We used to frequent this bar on a fairly regular basis especially on a Friday lunchtime when we used to nearly always have the club sandwich. It was a really good…

Relish – Cosy Sandwich Shop by Trent Bridge

The Relish Café is tucked away in the Trent House building on Pavilion Road. It is quite a small place, just about enough room for a couple of customers to order lunch. As long as you don’t need to move around too much you will be OK There seems to be a lot of Chalk…

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…
