Fothergills
Lunch / ££ / 7/10 Having vowed to revisit some old ‘favourites’, the Northerner and I went to Fothergills for lunch. The sunshine put everyone in a good mood and waves of euphoria hit me as I walked in. The distinctive layout of conjoined small rooms on different levels means you can never really tell…

Bar Iberico
Lunch / ££ / 10/10 Someone asked me recently about all the restaurants opening in Nottingham with a question about the impact on the older restaurants that don’t have the buzz of ‘new’. I made a mental note to make sure my money supports those I have loved for years and while in town on…

Sexy Mamma Loves Spaghetti – West Bridgford
Lunch / ££ / 8.5/10 On a sunny lunchtime in autumn we decided to try Sexy Mamma’s in West Bridgford. We were warmly welcomed and decided to sit in the sunshine on the high stools by the window. The restaurant is the newest opening from the stable of Botti di Mamma, Crazy Fish My Love…

Destination 105 – Lady Bay
Dinner / £££ / 9/10 For months I walked past the church on Trent Boulevard – it has been a hive of activity during the day with trades and deliveries coming and going. The daytime energy was in stark contrast to evenings and weekends when the doors remained shut, lights out, no sign of life.…

Piccalilli
Dinner / £££ / 7/10 I had booked to go to Piccalilli as soon as I saw the reservation system go live, I had been following the transformation of the restaurant on Instagram and was really excited by the menu. We walked up the familiar alley (Piccalilli is in the old Kushi Ya) and ascended…

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…

The Speciality Coffee Shop/Lilac Eatery
Brunch / ££ / 9/10 Me and The Northerner had a free weekend, no plans = bliss. Well except the nearly one year old who won’t be held, but can’t yet walk. Having dropped down to one nap we decided to ‘make the most of the morning’ and headed to a country park before going…

Public
Brunch / ££ / 9/10 My sister had been reminding me ‘Public’ was coming/opening for a while, I had only seen a few online ads where it looked like M&S was being invaded by croissants so decided to give it a go on a rainy saturday in August thinking the weather might mean it would…

Raymond’s
Dinner / £££ / 7/10 In the old Oscar and Rosies site in Hockley (which was previously the old Mondo Comico site – jeeeez I feel OLD) a little bit of magic has happened. No one could ever accuse this building of being full of character. From the outside it looks like a mix between…

Everyday People
Dinner / ££ / 7/10 Another Nottingham restaurant has caught the attention of national critic Jay Rayner and after reading his review I decided to give Everyday People another chance. I had rushed there post lockdown when it was the coolest new place to eat (and returned once more) to be disappointed and acutely aware…
