Despite living in Nottingham for many years, we had never visited Jamie’s Italian until now. We hadn’t heard great things, but Sexy Mamma in Hockley isn’t living up to it’s initial levels of ‘wowzer’ of late, and we had an O2 Priority voucher code for a second main course for a quid. We decided to… Continue reading Jamie’s Italian, Nottingham City Centre
We were surprised to receive an invite to review the afternoon tea at Revolution (you know you’re Notts when you call it new Revs!) The bar is best known for it’s hen party atmosphere and crazy vodkas, not really the kind of place that you’d first consider for a relaxing, leisurely afternoon tea. It costs… Continue reading Tipsy Afternoon Tea at Revolution, Cornerhouse
Yes, it’s happening. We’re jumping on the ol’ resolution bandwagon and trying to combat a December filled with far too many over indulgences. I’ve been following Weight Watchers for a while now (which means Stu pretty much has no choice but to as well!) and have still managed to lose a hefty amount of chub… Continue reading Healthy January: Yo Sushi, Nottingham City Centre
Pies are great. Every British person knows this – from the humble chippy tea Pukka to the high-end beef wellington, there is a pie for every occasion so it may be a surprise to hear that we have only just got round to visiting Pieminister on Angel Row a good 18 months after opening. The things that… Continue reading Pieminister, Nottingham City Centre
Take a stroll up Derby road and, aside from the copious amount of furniture shops, you can’t fail to spot the fluorescent yellow bakery Tough Mary’s. Much like a ray of sunshine breaking through grey clouds, it brightens the area and some of the local, homemade treats are sure to brighten your day. We aimed… Continue reading Tough Mary’s Bakehouse, Nottingham city centre
We’ve never been massive burger fans. With many fast food offerings, a burger was simply a snack we’d eat on the go or pick up after a night out. However, Nottingham seems to have undergone a revolution of the humble burger with eateries like Annie’s and Five Guys turning the fast food burger concept into a gourmet… Continue reading Griddle & Shake, Nottingham City Centre
Iberico World Tapas in the Lace Market is one of our favourite restaurants, so ever since we clocked the whitewashed windows and the ‘Bar Iberico coming soon’ posters in Hockley, we’ve been impatiently waiting for it to open. YAY! A BAR! We had but three burning questions: How will it be different? Will it be as… Continue reading Bar Iberico Nottingham – opening night event
We were invited to try the new menu at the exotic gem Thaikhun, situated in Intu Victoria Centre’s Clocktower Dining. The area has been successfully revamped with tempting eateries such as Coast to Coast, Handmade Burger Kitchen, Ed’s Easy Diner, Tortilla and more – there is something for everyone. Let’s be honest, as the two Thai… Continue reading Thaikhun Nottingham
Before seeing Independence Day 2 (don’t judge – it was shameless, cheesy action!) we popped in for a bite to eat at the Le Bistrot Pierre in Nottingham city centre. We have eaten here before (and at the Leicester branch) but not in a long time so we were looking forward it seeing how they… Continue reading Le Bistrot Pierre Nottingham
Stu and I go for lunch almost every Sunday and are on an ever-enthusiastic mission to find Nottingham’s very best Sunday roast. Along the way, we’ve had some corkers and we’ve had some shockers – unfortunately Oaks falls towards the latter end of the spectrum for us. We were seated in the middle of the… Continue reading Oaks Sunday roast
