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…

The Air Hostess – Tollerton
Dinner / ££ / 9/10 Since I have started writing reviews I have become a lot more opinionated on where to go, if I get the chance to combine a night out with friends and write a review I will take it. That sometimes means steering decisions towards places I haven’t been before. When trying…

Fothergills

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…

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…
