Pointing in Nottingham

“Really pleasant little cafe, caters for recent vegetarians (such as myself!), had a full breakfast and hardly noticed there was no meat. Friendly staff, nice decor, reasonable prices.”

“Popped in to have a drink, and had a great time. Staff were lovely and really helpful, drinks were perfect (I had a non-alcoholic beer as I was driving and my wife had a lovely merlot) and the decor was cool. Cracking atmosphere and will definitely be back for the Sunday lunch and live music. Edit: Went back for Sunday dinner and drinks. The food was outstanding, the band very entertaining and the atmosphere reflected that. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Amazing cafe!! The drinks and buns are devine, and we always get amazing service. All the staff are super friendly and attentive. The whole cafe has a fantastic atmosphere. It is now one of my favourite cafes in Nottingham!!”

“Love this pub. Good selection of real ale. No TV or music so you can have an actual conversation without shouting. Very dog friendly.”

“My new favourite bar. Good selection of beers and great atmosphere”

“Amazing gem, so lucky to live close by. Customer service is impeccable and friendly, can-do attitude is so warm and lovely. All the staff are trained well - not a badly made coffee ever, and the service is always personable and tailored to you as an individual. We are blessed to have Portobello in our neighbourhood. It is a fun, relaxed vibe and the music is always top notch! I love the soft reggaeton play into the street, it brightens the day when doing mundane grocery tasks.”

“Absolutely amazing food, it didn't taste greasy and it was all freshly cooked in front of me. The owners are lovely people and very friendly. Will definitely be a returning customer in the future. Photo of family munch box (£21) AMAZING VALUE”

“A wonderful family meal to celebrate my birthday! Staff were so attentive and lovely, food was perfect and atmosphere was fabulous! Love it here!”

“Dont go here as much as I should, but Francesca is a fantastic and very helpful lady. The foods are very very nice and her made to order pizza's are just amazing. If you want to make something Italian in a traditional way that tastes great buy your ingredients here . Very nice indeed .”

“Lovely place bottom of bath st Ilkeston nice staff, great food handy bud stop for going back to Ilkeston centre”

“What a hidden little gem and so near to home! The whole experience was amazing. The staff were very pleasant, cheerful and informative. As for the food, WOW! The presentation and the food wouldn't look out of place in a Michelin restaurant, it was that good! Will definitely be going back!!”

“Wife and I went for lunch Friday afternoon, were drawn to the gluten free options. Owners are very savvy about ensuring plenty of options for coeliac (other allergens in kitchen but cross contamination is well controlled and avoided). We had delicious quiche and sandwich with lots of tasty salads and a cheese scone to share, all gluten free and all delicious! They have plenty of gluten free cake too, bought some to take away. Staff were all very friendly and reassuring. Great atmosphere both inside and outside for dining. Looking forward to coming back again soon to support this local gem!”

“Lovely food and drink stop on our walk from Breaston to Draycott”

“We visited this pub for the first time today. The atmosphere was lovely and staff are friendly. The pub has lots on through the week, there is plenty of parking and a kids outside area too! We will be back again soon!”

“We didn’t have a reservation but we were given a table immediately. The service was excellent, food even better, good portions and presentation, nice atmosphere, nothing not to like.”

“Just wonderful! Not only superb tea and coffee but also delicious food. However, and more importantly, this place is innovative in supporting the community, local artists and crafters and the staff are dedicated to improving life in Netherfield. A totally new concept for our little town which so often bears the brunt of negative views.”

“Great friendly team, quick service, tasty food, good selection and very reasonably priced. All round a great little place for food and drinks. Would highly recommend. Plenty of parking nearby and local bus service stops right outside.”

“Wow what a place! Popped in today for lunch and so glad I did! The best dirty chai ever!! A beautiful place to unwind. I really hate getting my coffee from the big chains where the staff are grumpy and the coffee is mediocre, I will be back, thank you Barista Lab!”

“Went to this lovely cafe for my birthday to try afternoon tea for the first time in my life. It was a great experience, and I loved sandwiches, scones and all deserts. They have an extensive tea selection, I tried lavender tea, banana toffee, and you can also ask for coffee with your afternoon tea. I really liked banana flavor. Staff was very friendly and attentive, and in the end offered us two tea samples, one of them was rhubarb and custard (one of my favourite flavors). I tried it at home and it tastes amazing. Nice and cosy place to enjoy, I am happy I chose it for my birthday afternoon tea!”

“Fantastic little cafe. Reasonable pricing Meals always taste the same”

“My wife and I adore this place for its authentic, friendly vibe and top-quality food, especially the fish and chips. The generous portions and unbeatable prices will appeal to any takeaway enthusiast. I highly recommend you pay a visit.”

“Certainly better than the mill and brook! The usual barman when I visit is friendly and they have a great choice.”

“What a find…. Such a lovely place. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Popped in for a coffee with a friend, very relaxed vibe. We just had coffee today but my friend assures me food is always good. I am definitely returning to check this out”

“Great pub. Excellent choice of Ales. The cobs are especially good. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is also friendly. Nice little back garden. Excellent as a pit stop when using the train station.”

“Huge selection of sour beers to drink in or take out. Lots of Vault City!”

“excellent restaurant, this place is a must try, all the food is freshly prepared and is delicious ,the staff are really friendly and helpful, can't recommend this place highly enough.”

“This was a wonderful find and I have been back on a number of occasions. The food is amazing and the staff and atmosphere is brilliant. The sad note to this is that it is closing soon and we will be missing yet another excellent pub due to lack of custom. I’ll be very sad to see the end of yet another amazing establishment.”

“The best Fish n Chip shop in Nottingham. The fish batter is crispy and as the best kind of fish should be. Always busy, but friendly and appreciative staff.”

“Been for work and took a take away from here. Nothing I asked was too much. My kids doesn’t like spicy and usually having Indian takeaway is a challenge but of course not from here. Kids loved the food and so did we ☺️ We love the chicken bhuna If you haven’t tried yet don’t hesitate Thank you for the lovely food ☺️”

“The most amazing food! I honestly can't fault this stunning family run business. The food is absolutely gorgeous, the menu variety is great, and the portion sizes are really generous. They really value their customers too, and I love their personal touches.”
