Cured on Central Avenue in West Bridgford is one of those places that has been on my radar for ages. Almost every time I walk over that zebra crossing it fills my vision and cries out to me to come in. I know that it is not really an excuse but I never seemed to have enough lunch…

The Test Match Pub, an Art Deco Classic, for Fish and Chips Friday
The Test Match Pub on Gordon Square at the end of the High Street, run by the Greene King Pub Company, is a true classic in West Bridgford. They describe themselves as ‘a beautiful Art Deco building situated at the end of the High Street in West Brigford. Great food, a large range of local ales and a…
JJ’s Food Bar for a Breakfast in a Bun
JJ’s food bar up on Boundary Road in West Bridgford is a slightly classier bacon and egg cob emporium than those which I often tell you about. It is nice and clean and friendly inside which is always a good sign. It also comes with a simple menu, mainly coming from the ‘world of the breakfast’ which…
Bridgford Restaurant and Fish Bar – Fish and Chips for Lunch? Why Not
I think that it is about time that some of the smaller and independent Fish and Chips shops in the county started to get a mention. So I am going to start checking them out to see if I can find some hidden gems. First stop is the Bridgford Restaurant & Fish Bar on Radcliffe…
The Parlour in West Bridgford – Club Sandwich for Lunch
The Parlour in West Bridgford has been open since April and looks to be a welcome addition to the area. I know that there are a lot of bars and cafés on the strip now, but I much prefer to see a more original offering as opposed to just another one of those generic coffee…
Lady Bay Cafe is well worth a look – “It’s a wrap!”, a chicken wrap that is.
This week I was driving through Lady Bay in West Bridgford on a lunch time food hunt and I found the Lady Bay café on Trent Boulevard, number 147 to be exact. There was not a lot of easy parking outside, but there was plenty on the side streets. Outside there were a few bench…
Lunch options at Trent Bridge? – Try Olive Cafe or Crumbs
Over at Trent Bridge just by the cricket ground on Radcliffe Rd, ‘Café Olive’ and ‘Crumbs’ sit side by side, both waiting to supply the lunch crowd with it’s daily needs. It seems fitting that just as the Ashes are about to start down under that we should head over to one of the…
Lunch at Deli 8 in West Bridgford
It really does not seem like it but it is 10 years since Deli 8 opened it’s doors in the bustling Nottingham suburb of West Bridgford in 2002. I could not really believe it myself, I often came here for lunch back then when I lived and worked in Nottingham and so I was curious…
C. Brumpton Butchers – “traditional family butchers” – and pies and sausage rolls too!
C Brumpton Butchers have two shops, one on Melton Road in West Bridgford, and one in Cotgrave Village on Plumtree Road. I have visited the one in West Bridgford a couple of times now. It first came to my attention when I saw their meat and products at Harry Wheatcrofts garden centre so I thought…
Taste ‘expresso and sandwich bar’
The taste is an ‘expresso and sandwich bar’ that is tucked away on Clumber Road just 20 yards or so from the junction with Melton Road in West Bridgford. Inside there were a fair number of tables and seats which were filling up rapidly when we walked in at about 12 o clock. I would…
