The only problem with doing this blog is that you feel you need to constantly be trying different places to eat so never return to your favourites. Well this week, screw you dear reader as we’re going back to Merchant’s to see what’s new on their Market Menu. The Market Menu is fixed price with… Continue reading Merchant’s at the Lace Market Hotel, Nottingham
Italian chain restaurants are rubbish. On this, I’m sure we can all agree. Places such as Prezzo, Jamie’s, Zizzi and Bella Italia promise an authentic experience but all serve sloppy pasta and floppy pizza that you could easily cook better (and much cheaper) at home. The one exception we found was Carluccio’s, they do an… Continue reading Carluccio’s Nottingham
You may have read our previous review for The Curious Manor in Trinity Square, where the food wasn’t too bad but the try-too-hard ‘kitsch’ decor left us rolling our eyes. We received an invite to attend the launch event of their sister bar (or “twisted auntie” as one member of staff described it) and so… Continue reading The Curious Townhouse, Nottingham – launch event
It may feel like a hidden gem, but for us Edin’s is renowned as a place for cheap, fast meals that taste like anything but. Their fixed price menu boasts astonishing value at £7.95 for 2 courses (or just £5 if you get there before 5). It’s unbelievable that they can be making much of… Continue reading Edin’s, Nottingham
The newest addition to Nottingham’s ever exciting bar scene is cocktail chain Be At One, launching where Nirvana nightclub used to be in the Lace Market. We had an invite to sample the wares before the opening night so thought it would be rude not to! For anyone that remembers falling/sleeping on the beds in… Continue reading Be At One – cocktail bar launch, Nottingham
Annie’s is renowned through the Midlands as making the best burgers going. From their humble beginnings running the kitchen at the Angel pub to the large 2 floor restaurant and bar in the Lace Market they are certainly doing something right. We thought we’d go along and check out what they had to offer. This… Continue reading Annie’s Burger Shack
The sudden popularity of barbecue food in the UK a couple of years ago led to three BBQ restaurants opening up within a short period of time (Rub, Jim’s Smokehouse and Red’s True Barbecue). People I know who particularly love the American BBQ food regard Red’s to be the best of the bunch. We’ve visited a couple… Continue reading Red’s True Barbecue, Nottingham
The Larder on Goosegate is a bit of an odd one. They are quite tucked away above Oxfam in Hockley and don’t seem to promote themselves a lot, but they do have a reputation for good food. We have eaten there before but not for a while so decided to try out their set menu… Continue reading The Larder on Goosegate, Nottingham
We’ve eaten at Curious Manor before, but haven’t returned since it first opened. We were initially put off by it trying too hard to be off-beat and quirky rather than concentrating on great food (the roast we had was a little style over substance). However, waking up one Saturday with a hangover-fuelled need for a… Continue reading Brunch at the Curious Manor, Nottingham
