The Griffin, Plumtree
Dinner / £££ / 8/10 I have been looking for an excuse to go to The Griffin since giving birth and another mum recommending it. It ticks all the boxes of a South Nottingham gastro pub. Beautiful building – tick, expensive refurb – tick, rural location in a wealthy village – tick and it doesn’t…

Slice ‘n’ Brew
Lunch / ££ / 9.5/10 I have been wanting to go to Slice ‘n’ Brew for months, so jumped when the chance arose. The opening hours didn’t go well with my babies timetable so when she started nursery I knew one of my first fridays would be spent there. I have finally got round to…

The Wolseley (Mayfair/London)
Breakfast / ££££ / 8.5/10 After a weekend away we had a final morning in London before timing the return journey with the babies afternoon nap. We decided to go for breakfast as nothing opens till 10 (which feels like lunchtime given most days start before 6am). We’ve been to The Wolseley before for breakfast…

Alchemilla
Dinner / ££££ / 9/10 Alchemilla opened on Derby Road 6 years ago but it already feels like it has been part of the city for more than a decade. Lockdown has warped time (especially in hospitality) and we wanted to go back in summer after our first visit in autumn proved a little off.…

The Devonshire (Soho, London)
Lunch / ££££ / 9/10 The Northerner kept mentioning The Devonshire, he had been served a couple of video reviews online and was enamoured by the menu. We looked to book and realised the place was in demand. They only release reservations 4-6 weeks in advance and get booked up quickly. As we already had…

The Radcliffe
Dinner / £££ / 8.5/10 After years and years of different landlords, reopening and closing The Trent in Radcliffe on Trent was bought by The Secret Pub Company (who at that time owned The Railway, a wonderful place) and reopened as The Radcliffe in 2017. I have been there a lot as it used to…

Perkins Bar and Bistro, Plumtree
Lunch / £££ / 9/10 I asked my friends for a recommendation for a country lunch recently as I tend to stick with tried and tested places and one of them suggested Perkins. As soon as she said it I knew we’d go there, how could I have forgotten about it? Perkins has been a…

Barcelona City Break
We have just come back from 4 days in Barcelona and I wanted to share some of the great places we went to eat. We got to see the best of the city with sunny days and temperatures in the mid twenties. We took our 9 month old with us so most of our meal…

The Cosy Club
Lunch / ££ / 6.5/10 After visiting Rudys and Delilahs I found myself on Victoria Street once again for a lunch with friends at The Cosy Club, I put my prejudice for overpriced chain bars to one side. I have drank there a couple of times and not particularly enjoyed the bar area. Loud, brightly…

The Atrium Bar & Kitchen
Brunch / ££ / 8.5/10 I was recently asked to recommend somewhere good for brunch in the city centre for friends with pushchairs. I struggled to think of anywhere reliable with enough room and kept on coming back to the out of city ‘cafes’ that offer more space and in most cases better food/service/atmosphere. I…
