Kaspa’s are a chain of exciting new dessert houses that offer the world’s favourite hot and cold desserts under one roof… That’s what their website states so I wanted to see if it was true. Situated on Maid Marian Way stands the bright pink eye catching american style diner. I have driven and walked past…

Bierkeller / Around the World Bar – Nottingham
I have been excitedly anticipating the opening of Bierkeller on Friar Lane for weeks, so when a friend suggested a catch up dinner yesterday I was looking forward to heading down to check out the new venue. The multi-million pound entertainment complex looked amazing when the photos were released to the public a few weeks…
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…
The Townhouse – Arnold
*Review updated 21/6/19. CLICK HERE TO READ THE UPDATED REVIEW I’ve been to The Townhouse a few times on client meetings for a quick drink but have never eaten. It’s been on my radar for nearly a year, so when a friend suggested dinner this week, I jumped at the chance to go here. It’s situated…
4550 miles from Delhi – Nottingham
I’ve been to 4550 miles from Delhi a few times and always found it really lovely. It’s usually the sort of place my friends and I go for a special occasion. The staff are really lovely and nothing ever seems like too much trouble. I’m always greeted like a regular, although I don’t frequent enough…
Sherwood Manor – Carrington
I don’t hide the fact that I LOVE pub chains. Sherwood Manor, part of the Hungry Horse chain, serves HUGE meals at low prices, perfect for the day before payday when you can’t be bothered with cooking or washing up. Don’t expect the best food in the world, but do expect decent pub food, huge…
Fothergills – Nottingham
Yesterday afternoon I went on a date. We were supposed to meet at 3pm at the Castle (I’ve never been even though I’ve lived here for nearly 5 years) but when we got there we weren’t allowed in. So we headed for a couple of drinks at the Crafty Crow, before heading to Fothergills for…
Curious Townhouse – Nottingham
I was long overdue for a catch up with my friend and fellow blogging pal Chloe, so we headed to the newest sibling of the Curious venues, in the Lace Market, Curious Townhouse. Apparently at 6pm, cocktails are only £5! Well, that was all I was charged for the most amazing Lavender and Violet vodka…
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….
Great Notts Show
I headed down to the Great Notts Show this morning, dragging my lovely housemate with me for a long walk, with the bribe of tea and lunch. The streets are closed for the Robin Hood Half Marathon, and it gave the centre of town a nice peaceful quiet with none of the traffic. There’s loads…
The Grosvenor, Mansfield Road Nottingham – Take 2
After having a really mediocre meal at The Grosvenor a couple of months ago, the manager of the pub found my blog post and invited me back to review the food. I went yesterday, and have to say it was a much more pleasant time than previous. I didn’t make them aware when I arrived,…
