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…

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…

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 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…

Delilah Fine Foods
Brunch / ££ / 6/10 After mentioning Delilahs in an earlier review I was motivated to try eating there – brunch is one of my favourite meals and a quick look at their menu decided it. There was something for The Northerner and enough sweet stuff for me. Before we walked in I knew I…
