Compa
Lunch / ££ / 6/10 After hearing lots about the buzzing food scene in Beeston we kept meaning to visit but a ring road and a desire for ease above most things meant it is still on my to do list (see also ‘Sherwood’). Luckily for us the much praised Compa has opened a city…

Bread and Lard Island – Lady Bay
Lunch / ££ / 10/10 I have a secret. It is on the next street from my house and I have decided to be a bit more open as it is becoming common knowledge. Bread and Lard Island is my favourite cafe. Yes, it is practically spitting distance from my doorstep. Yes, they play mostly…

The Reindeer – Hoveringham
Lunch / £££ / 9/10 After visiting it’s sister pub The Old Vol nearly a year ago we decided to give The Reindeer a try, it was coming up to Christmas and we wanted a cosy country pub on a dark, drizzly day. We had been assured that the dining room and bar were not…

Hemisphere – West Bridgford
Lunch / ££ / 9/10 Hemisphere has recently opened in West Bridgford and on a child free day we decided to go for lunch. It is easy to walk past being above Iceland and holds the uncertainty of not being able to see inside from street level, but once up the stairs the dining room…

Langar Hall
Lunch / ££££ / 6/10 On the hottest day in August we decided to treat ourselves to lunch at Langar Hall. It always feels special coming here and I enjoy it the most in the summer when you can have a drink outside, before going into the wonderfully cool dining room. Happiness fizzed inside as…

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 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…

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…

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…

Rudy’s
Dinner / £ / 7/10 Since reviewing Baba Dough I wanted to explore other pizza options, Slice and Brew is on my list but a dinner with friends in February proved the perfect occasion to try Rudy’s. It was the first sunny day of the year and in the afternoon you barely needed a jacket,…
