Life After Spanky Van Dykes

22 March 18

  The sun rises and sets, empires rise and fall, and Spanky Van Dykes has closed. Even though it’s been a few months since the alternative bar – the big, dark place that projected He-Man episodes in silence – closed its doors unto wooden boards, its regulars still find themselves in a lost state. Those dejected lot who once found their homes - and their lives - in Spanky’s now wander the street in utter confusion. We wrangled as many of them as we could to ask how they’re getting on.

Noshingham: Murat International Food Centre

14 December 17

We’ve seen bread served in flat caps and we’ve heard of bowls of American cereal sold for £5 on Brick Lane, but Murat dwarfs them all for hipster pomp: no menu, no waiters. Hell, there aren’t even any tables. But you can definitely get a good bit of scran for your buck.

Alex Bond on His New Venture Alchemilla

25 November 17

Here in Nottingham, fine dining can be a bit up its own arse. If you’re looking for a ten-course summat special to treat your main squeeze to, you can expect to remortgage your house around these parts. Now, though, there’s a new restaurant on the block that aims to take the stuffiness out of the whole experience. Previous employee of Sat Bains and head chef at Turners, Alex Bond has opened Alchemilla on Derby Road following a few supper clubs at Wired Cafe on Pelham Street, and it’s got the local gums flapping. With chatter about the restaurant’s potential to be graced with a Michelin star, we hit up Alex to find out why he doesn’t give a toss…

5 Vegan-Friendly Restaurants in Nottingham

12 October 17

Our wonderful city is famed for many things, from lace making and Nottingham Castle to Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood. But veganism? Not so much. Then again, perhaps it’s time for a re-think. Veganism is a movement that is rapidly growing in the UK, with those who follow a vegan diet omitting all animal products from their diet. But it doesn't mean not being able to enjoy eating out – this city is bursting with restaurants that tempt veggies and meat-eaters alike...

Oscar and Rosie's Have Kicked Us Out

04 September 17

Oscar & Rosie’s has been filling bellies with the best pizza in town for over three years, and now they’re moving premises; to the old LeftLion offices, at The Corner on Stoney Street, no less. We gave restaurant owner and friend Olly Hunter a bell to find out a bit more about his dough-based endeavours, and how he plans to top what he’s created so far…
