Inferno – Nottingham (part two) 

Already the best place to grab a pizza in 180 seconds, Inferno launched their ‘craft your own salad’ this week. Perfect for this warm weather, so I headed down today to try it out. (Check out my review of their pizzas here 😍) Whenever I go to a restaurant or cafe for a salad, I am always…

Bierkeller – Nottingham

With all the cocktail bars, BBQ joints and pizza restaurants that have opened in the last year, Nottingham needed some diversity! This has come in the form of Bierkeller Entertainment Complex on Friar Lane, due to open to the public on 17th March. Shooters Bierkeller, the national chain, houses 3 totally different ‘destinations’ all under…

George’s – Nottingham 

Fish and Chips. A British institution yes? Just like talking about the weather, queueing and a bacon butty, fish and chips are quintessentially British. Georges traditional fish and chips, located on Queen Street has been open a while now. When I worked in Nottingham, as a Friday treat, we would occasionally have a fish and…

The old flower shop – Mapperley

A couple of weeks ago my friend Mark and I headed to Mapperley Top for a bite to eat. I hadn’t noticed The Old Flower Shop before, and it turns out that it’s only been open a few months.  A quick glance at the menu drew us in to this gorgeously decorated, modern contemporary space….

Having tried most of the buffet restaurants in Nottingham, and finding them lacking in both service and cuisine, I wasn’t particularly interested when Cosmo opened its doors a little under year ago. My best friend  (or to quote Friends, my ‘GalPal’) Trace, who I’ve not seen in a couple of…

Escabeche – West Bridgford

As you will all know if you have read my post about Baresca, I love Tapas. I also love Escabeche. I’ve been a fair few times, one memorable date with an older man (he turned out to be a bit of a douche) and last week, for lunch, with my lovely ex workmates. The atmosphere…

The Grosvenor Pub – Nottingham

   A couple of years ago I went on a horrific date to The Grosvenor pub on Mansfield Road. It wasn’t just the guy that was awful, the pub was dark, dingy, dirty and unpleasant. I had heard that it had been through a huge refurbishment, and you can’t really miss it as you’re driving…

Marrakesh – Nottingham

Having been to Morocco twice in the last few years, I couldn’t wait to go to Marrakesh restaurant on Chapel Bar. I have walked past it maybe a hundred times but haven’t yet visited. My friend The Gastronomic Gorman and I went during our lunch break on Friday as a bit of a treat. It…
