This week’s foodie blog post is my first collaboration with Street Food Club in Nottingham’s Victoria Centre. I moonlighted on their Instagram and their Insta story this week and they kindly gifted Luke and I this dinner and some lovely drinks. As you know, I only work with brands on a paid or gifted basis if I either already love the brand or I know I’ll be into it. Now, I’ve featured Notts Street Food Club a few times on my blog, most recently in my 3 Date Night Eats that I absolute love in Notts and they’re a constant feature in my weekly lunch and dinner schedule as well as on my Instagram stories. So, you can guarantee that I’m only working with Notts Street Food Club because I 100% believe in the food the sellers serve and the concept. Disclaimer over, let’s talk chicken.
3 Nottingham Date Night Eats
Date night food is serious business for us and I wanted to share some of my recent favourites that have filled our bellies on dates from the past few weeks in Nottingham.
1. Bar Iberico
Crispy chicken. Those two words and you know I’m talking about tapas dreamboat Bar Iberico. This place is just delicious. They do an incredible ‘rapid menu’ where you can get bread and dipping oil and two tapas for a tenner. Perfect if you want to share with someone else and have four different dishes and bread each. It doesn’t sound a lot but you’ll definitely be full, I promise! This menu is before 6pm on a Saturday I think and it’s well worth heading there early for a bargain. You can’t book so be prepared to either wait for a table or you can sit at the bar for proper Barcelona tapas vibes.
24 hours in Leeds; beer & bhajis
Ahhhh, Leeds. I love this place! I mentioned in my first post when we originally explored it how much I enjoyed the city. I love how it feels fairly clean, (for a big city!), the shopping is awesome, there’s tonnes of places to eat and drink – from the chains that we all know and love if you need something to rely on to awesome independent places that you can discover and love forever.
6 Of The UK’s Best Street Food Markets
With the announcement that Nottingham might be getting its own street food market (yaaaas!), I thought it’d be sweet to round up some of the best street food markets and pop-ups in the UK right now. It’s safe to say that we’re definitely very excited to be getting our very own street food market because it’s something that we feel Notts has been missing for a while. We get the occasional pop-up here and there but nothing as monumental as some of the other street food markets in the UK’s other cities like Manchester and London! Here’s the run-down of the best out there at the moment…
Revolution Hockley Nottingham Review
This weekend I was invited down to Revolution Hockley to give their new street-food inspired ‘Revolution Kitchen’ menu a try. We all know ‘Vodka Revs’ as the place of 1000 different types of vodka and your average high-end pub food with 50% off Mondays. These guys are breaking out of the mould and actually giving their menu some extra thought. This new menu is based on the ‘foodie scenes of New York and San Francisco’ and we all know street-food is seriously on trend right now. I was excited to give it a go, and *spoiler alert* – I was really impressed!
Where to Eat in Brixton
A few weekends ago I headed ‘down London’, as my Nan would say, to see one of my gorgeous best friends in her new flat. We had the most food-fuelled couple of days and it was awesome. I wanted to share the places that we headed to with you guys just in case you’re heading to Brixton anytime soon! There were a million and one amazing looking cafes, pubs and bars that I wanted to try but these were the ones we ended up with and they were all delicious.
