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
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
For a chain restaurant, Loch Fyne do what they do very well. Simple, tasty seafood dishes made with the freshest ingredients. We have been coming here for years and usually eat from their fixed price menu or their brunch menu (their full Scottish breakfast with a bloody mary is great to soothe a hangover). Today… Continue reading Loch Fyne
As we had friends over for the day, we thought we should probably interrupt the drinking with some food. We’ve been to the Herbert Kilpin a number of times for the great selection of craft beer but we’ve never eaten there so thought we’d give it a whirl. We had brunch a just a few… Continue reading The Herbet Kilpin, Nottingham
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’d never heard of the Black Bull before we received an invite to eat there, but after a quick check on Trip Advisor and looking at photos of their food online we knew we would be in for a treat so we agreed and booked a table for Sunday lunch – yay! Another roast for… Continue reading The Black Bull, Blidworth
A Sunday roast is without a doubt our favourite meal of the week and we’ve tried most of what the city has to offer in search of the best roast in Nottingham. As a result, were always looking out for one that we’ve not tried yet and our interest is definitely piqued by something a little… Continue reading Baresca Nottingham: Sunday roast
The pre-theatre set menu is a difficult thing to get right. By its nature, the restaurant needs to turn tables round quickly without compromising the quality of the food or making customers feel rushed. It’s a competitive market and I think over the years we’ve tried them all – most restaurants around the Nottingham Royal… Continue reading Petit Paris pre-theatre menu, Nottingham
It has felt like summer has finally arrived in Notts (ok, ok, apart from the odd shower) and with the changing seasons, good restaurants will update their menus to bring you the best produce for that time of year. So, it’s out with the cottage pies and in with the lighter, fresher dishes that are… Continue reading Merchant’s new summer menu 2016
Iberico World Tapas is renowned in Nottingham (as well as in Derby) for being at the top of the tapas game and being particularly well suited to a special occasion. The vibe is ‘tapas-but-not-as-you-know-it’ as we see traditional Catalan tapas such as Iberico ham and patatas bravas balanced with more exotic dishes influenced by Asian… Continue reading Iberico World Tapas Nottingham
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
I was in two minds whether to write this post because I feel like Chocolate Utopia is a true Nottingham secret and I want to keep it all to myself. I still don’t know how this place doesn’t have mile-long queues outside every day. However, I feel that if you’ve never had a hot chocolate from… Continue reading Chocolate Utopia Nottingham
