Meeting with a friend last week for a quick lunch, I asked my colleagues to recommend somewhere quick, easy and tasty. The general consensus was to try The Bell Inn on Angel Row, Nottingham’s oldest inn. They enthused about the fabulous curly fires and I was almost hooked. As I always do, before committing, I…

Tuk Tuk – Nottingham
I need to start this post by saying that the food was really, really nice. There is a reason for this!Tuk Tuk is situated on Friar Gate, Maid Marian Way, on the site that Chutney used to stand on.Still run by the same people, it's had a huge facelift (no more dingy booths or Movenpick…
Notts Tweet Up – Revolucion De Cuba – Nottingham
I have been following @NottsTweetUp on twitter for months, intrigued as to what it was all about and whether I should head along. I haven’t been running my twitter account for very long and my following is far smaller than my blog, so I wasn’t sure if it was something I could get involved with….
Annie’s Burger Shack – Nottingham
I used to go to Annie's quite a lot before I started this blog, however it's been a while since I visited. A catch up with an old mate from outside Nottingham gave me the perfect excuse to revisit and see if it was as good as I remember. This place is synonymous for good…
Inferno – Nottingham (part two)
Already the best place to grab a pizza in 180 seconds, Inferno launched their ‘craft your own salad’ this week. Perfect for this warm weather, so I headed down today to try it out. (Check out my review of their pizzas here 😍) Whenever I go to a restaurant or cafe for a salad, I am always…
La Parisienne – Southwell
It was a lovely sunny day on bank holiday Monday when I headed to La Parisienne in Southwell. I have been on a few dates with a lovely, if very quiet, guy that lives in the town and so I wanted to see his home turf. He picked the place, not too far from the…
Son of Steak – Nottingham
Son of Steak opened its doors a couple of weeks ago, and I headed down for the blogger event on behalf of my friend Gastronomic Gorman. You will find my review of the launch on her blog soon. Son of Steak is located in Trinity Square, where the old Harvester pub was. Owned by the…
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 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….
Bar Iberico – Nottingham
Last week a man took me to dinner. A real life, bearded man, with nice eyes, took me out. Let’s call him LBM – the Leicester Beardy Man. I don’t usually blog about my dating life, because quite frankly it is ridiculous. I have had the ‘moaner’ , the ‘let’s slate your job’ guy, the…
