The Head of Steam has opened today in Hockley, on the site of the old Missoula Bar. Centering around craft beer, the three storey building has been completely transformed into a funky, contemporary, chilled bar. My favourite part was the artwork dedicated to Nottingham. The booths at the back of the downstairs area are apparently…

Oaks – Nottingham
Oaks Restaurant at 2 Bromley Place closed at the start of December due to a fire in their kitchen extractor fan. Because of the time of year and the complexity of the system, it took until this month for them to reopen. I absolutely loved Oaks before the closure (read my previous review HERE) and…
Sushimania – Nottingham
A few weeks ago Sushimania opened up right round the corner from my work. I did wonder whether with the pre-existing Yo Sushi and Bonsai to name but two, would there be room for another sushi restaurant in the city? Located in the old Ask Italian restaurant in Chapel Bar, Sushimania has a small entrance…
Son of Steak – New menu launch
If you read my blog, you’ll know that I adore Son of Steak in Trinity Square. So much so that a quote from a previous blog post is emblazoned on their huge glass window. They are typically a steak restaurant but they ‘do things differently’ and are ‘rebellious’. Their points of difference in comparison to…
5 fabulous vegan recipes
As you may know, I have been taking part in Veganuary, giving up meat, fish and dairy products for the month of January. The reasons for this are varied but include trying to challenge myself in the kitchen, cut down on the meat products I eat and trying to see if it would save me…

Revolution Hockley – Nottingham
I was invited by the lovely people at Revolution Hockley to try out the new menu available this week. Revolution is situated at 7 Broad St, Nottingham, NG1 3AJ, next door to Rough Trade and opposite the Broadway. Revolution is a chain of individually styled bars across the country. At the last count they have…
PizzaStorm – Newcastle
Now that’s what I call fast food! Over 50 toppings, unlimited choice and cooked in 180 seconds? Sounds like a perfect lunchtime treat!
Source – York
So a weekend of good food and good company was on the cards as Eleanor and I headed to York. We wanted to try as many good places in the 3 days we were there and so a quick Tripadvisor check was needed. At number 7 on Tripadvisor was Source, in the centre, just by…
Spiced squash stew – recipe
I love a stew. It tends to use up any leftovers in your cupboard and is great for these winter nights. This is, again, a vegan recipe. I have no idea why I’m cooking veggie dishes a lot this month, as I’m not one, but it’s so much cheaper and easier to cook. Tasty too!…
