Places to eat in Nottingham

Post by Shaun1983 » Tue Aug 29, 2023 7:24 pm

Hi
Anyone have any recommendations within a 20 minute walk of the ground for pub grub tomorrow? I suggested hooters but the wife said I can't take the kids in and they aren't too happy about waiting outside so looking for some suggestions. TIA

I like the pitcher and piano in Nottingham. Can't remember exactly but it'll be about a mile / 20 mins walk

Stuart Broad has a decent eating pub down there, not sure how far from the ground though.

Hooters is well over rated. Quite a tame place really. Over charge you for burgers and chicken wings for the staff dressing moderately sexy.

The " Larwood and Voce " is decent enough, according to my Cousin who lives about a mile away from the City Ground, it backs on to Trent Bridge ... not part of a massive chain, the owners run just one other establishment ...

The club recommended Hooters? Well you can't accuse them of not knowing the fanbase?

Hooters is recommended by clubs and police forces because it's large enough to accommodate groups of fans who haven't planned beyond the immediate vicinity.

I wouldn't personally recommend it but it's perfectly fine and it will be ideal for a lot of our fans.

There's a chippy and a McDonalds 2 minutes away from the ground.

If you want more choice head to West Bridgford town centre. It's only a single row of shops but there's plenty of choice and it's a nice area. You can google the details and what's there.

Right - first up, I wouldn't even bother going into the city centre to eat (or for anything else quite frankly). It's further from the ground and it's a dump. That being said, if you're going with kids, there's a 'seaside' entertainment thingy on Market Square which might keep them amused for a while.

Stuart Broad's place is The Tap and Run and it's in Upper Broughton (about 10 miles out of town towards Melton Mowbray. Unless you've a car, I'd forget that.

In terms of eating somewhere handy for the ground, I'd head to West Bridgford. Here's my best effort at where to go....

Trent Bridge Inn (The TBI) - Wetherspoons. On the cricket ground. You know what you're going to get.....it's Spoons!!
Larwood and Voce - literally the opposite corner of the cricket ground to the TBI. Not been in a while but it used to be pretty decent. As mentioned above, it's independent too, so not 'chain food'.
Stratford Haven - great for beer. Less good for food. More bar snack stuff but the ale is great Part of the Castle Rock brewery lot
Cote Brasserie, Wagammas, Giggling Squid, Pizza Express - all chains on Central Avenue in West Bridgford (the main shopping bit and less than half a mile from the ground). Again, you know what you're going to get and how much it'll cost.
Gilt - run by a Forest fan (he's called Willow) and good mate of Sean Dyche. Bit of home crowd in there so don't go in wearing colours. Food decent.
Test Match (pub) - big Greene King art deco pub. Not eaten there for a while. Standard pub grub last time I went. OK. Beer good here too (and usually have Tim Taylors on, if that's your thing) amongst a decent range of ales.

Hope that helps.

See you all down there later.....
