Grilled Garlic Lobster

Seas the day! Order the lobster.

Lockdown 2.0 means a lot of hospitality businesses are turning to delivery and takeaway services. The Lobster Pot is made up of two family-run seafood restaurants, in Nottingham and Beeston, founded by the Pongsawang family, after they moved from Bangkok, Thailand, to England in 1991. Over time, Lobster Pot began to infuse their dishes with more Thai spices and flavours and the combinations were...
Brunch Review - Portello Lounge

Brunching at Portello Lounge, West Bridgford, Nottingham

Where’s the best place to brunch with kids on tow? One of my favourites is Portello Lounge! If you’re local, you probably know it’s the most spacious venue in West Bridgford that can cater for pushchairs. Upon entry you’ll be welcomed by staff and asked to scan for track and trace, or you can fill out a paper copy. Instead of ordering from the bar, you can order from their website. QR...

Wedding anniversary meal at La Storia, West Bridgford – Nottingham

Service was impeccable and covid safe. Staff wore visors, instructions and signs were displayed and hand gel on each table. Now on to food! We were welcomed with yummy Prosecco to celebrate. There wasn’t a kids menu but they state this on their website - however, they’re able to whip something up! My kids had fresh pappardelle pasta with sausage in a tomatoey sauce. Wow it tasted so good!...

Family Friendly Eateries Review The Refinery, Nottingham

We ventured to The Refinery in West Bridgford (previously, The Signature Steakhouse), to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The owners who also own the Copper Cafe brand did a great job to make this restaurant more family friendly. As you may know, Copper in West Bridgford is very small in comparison so tends to be difficult entering with a pushchair, but this venue is much bigger, so pushchairs...
