A couple of weeks ago I was invited to try out the new menu at Bodega Leicester. Although I have a few friends in Leicester it isn’t somewhere I usually venture out, although walking through the city last week I realised that I really should. Even on a cold Wednesday night the city was alive,…

Las Iguanas – Nottingham
I was invited to Las Iguanas, Nottingham last week week to try out their new menu. Now, I have to be honest, this is the first time I have been to a Las Iguanas, even though it is right next door to work. With this in mind I can’t comment on the changes to the menu…
Son of Steak – New menu launch
If you read my blog, you’ll know that I adore Son of Steak in Trinity Square. So much so that a quote from a previous blog post is emblazoned on their huge glass window. They are typically a steak restaurant but they ‘do things differently’ and are ‘rebellious’. Their points of difference in comparison to…
Bar Iberico – Take Two
A few months ago I wrote about my experience at Bar Iberico. I said that although the food was ok and the atmosphere was lively, I wouldn’t choose to return given the amount of tapas restaurants to choose from in Nottingham. A couple of months ago this changed. The Gaztronome absolutely raved about the place…
Pago fruit juices
I love a good fruit juice. Especially on a hangover. It is refreshing, thirst quenching and full of goodness. However it is really difficult to find a good quality fruit juice at a reasonable price, usually the ones I pick up turn out to be bland or bitty. Thankfully Pago Fruit Juices came to the…
Loch Fyne – Christmas Menu
On Thursday I was very kindly invited to Loch Fyne to try out their Christmas Menu. Those of you that read my tweets will know that I am fully on board with Christmas already, even through it is only the 1st of December. So, what better way to celebrate the start of the festive season…
The Walton – Nottingham
I was very lucky to be invited to the new menu launch at The Walton Hotel last night on Derby Road. I have walked past the outside of the building maybe a hundred times but had never been in before. I don’t know why, maybe I thought it was too posh for me! I always…
Revolution Hockley – Nottingham
I was invited by the lovely people at Revolution Hockley to try out the new menu available this week. Revolution is situated at 7 Broad St, Nottingham, NG1 3AJ, next door to Rough Trade and opposite the Broadway. Revolution is a chain of individually styled bars across the country. At the last count they have…
Revolucion De Cuba – Nottingham
I bloody love Revolucion De Cuba. Where else can you be casually having a cocktail on a Saturday night and bump in to a lady dressed like an exquisite carnival queen? Revolucion De Cuba is located at 26-28 Market Street, round the corner from the Theatre Royal. The huge building is entered through a door…
Festival of Food and Drink – Clumber Park
The Festival of Food and Drink at Clumber Park is hands down one of my favourite food festivals of the year. The drive through the park is extremely long and winding, and when the sun is shining it’s a lovely drive. Parking is super close to the entrance making it very easily accessible to anyone…
Great Food and Drink festival – Lincoln Castle
As you probably know, I love food festivals. The chance to see firm favourite exhibitors and brand new companies is so appealing to me. The Lincoln castle food festival, run by Great Food & Drink festivals (the same guys that run them at Nottingham Castle and Newstead Abbey) is no different. It took us two…
Turtle Bay – Nottingham
Turtle Bay, the Caribbean restaurant at the Cornerhouse, is a fantastic place to enjoy happy hour. 241 cocktails 4pm – 7pm and after 10pm, it’s great value for money. You have to have the same cocktail for both but it doesn’t really matter. My friends and I had a LOOOOOOONG overdue catch up this evening,…
