Cafe Coco Tang has the perfect solution with it’s stunning rooftop garden, you get to feel like you’re truly outside but with the benefits of shaded areas, comfortable seats and tasty food and drink on tap!.

You go through a replica of a 1980s Mong Kok alley to reach Coco Tang, the right combination of an underground club and a cocktail bar. They have been serving thousands of cocktails every week since 2008 and are popular for pushing the limits of creating and mixing drinks, customer service, high standards, coffee, and tea-based cocktails, and their very own Fight Club Iced Tea."

"Expect an eclectic mix of textures, taste and flavours from Nottingham's resident Vietnamese-inspired alchemists. Coco Tang oozes both style and substance, offering an ideal location for after work drinks in the roof garden or a night out with friends as DJs take the place from cafe to club."

"Need to know: A family-run tea room which has been offering traditional, homemade fayre since 1981, against the stunning backdrop of Dimmingsdale in the Churnet Valley. The Ramblers Retreat Country Tea Room is the place to tuck in to a satisfying treat before a woodland stroll, journey to the mysterious Chained Oak, or hectic day on the coasters at Alton Towers Resort. If you’re travelling with a canine companion, there are water bowls in the gardens, free doggy treats, and even dog ice cream available to buy!"

"12/04/2021: We visited the Ramblers Retreat last Friday after a wonderful walk around Dimmingsdale with friends!. The valley is magnificent and we must admit we'd have got a little lost if we didn't grab a walks map from the Ramblers beforehand!. When we returned, we grabbed a covid safe takeaway lunch- the brie and cranberry sandwich was a particular favourite!"

"A post shared by Ugly Bread Bakery ®© (@uglybreadbakery) on Jun 5, 2017 at 1:30am PDT. Ugly Bread by name but definitely not by nature. This Nottingham based bakery does picture perfect sourdough pizzas and Italian pastries and cakes, like creamy custard-filled cannoli."

"A sign that veganism is becoming more mainstream is when a nationwide chain like Greggs decide to bring out a vegan version of one of its best selling products. A meatless sausage roll will be going on sale at 900 of the high street bakery shops including Nottingham city centre, Arnold, Beeston, Netherfield, Lady Bay Retail Park, Mansfield and Long Eaton from tomorrow (January 4), delayed a day after the launch as the shops are waiting for special tongs."

"14/02/2021: So, during lockdown etc I have been doing the 'baking my own bread' bit and thinking I am getting good at it, and then I get a meal from these guys who show off by making perfect bread, beef wellington and desserts. Yes it came with lovely flowers and a nice duck salad and a scented candle, not to mention the sides. I had the valentine meal AND the afternoon tea which was too much irresistible food."

"If your stags are lovers of craft beer and ales, take them to BrewDog for a boozy taste experience like no other!.

"There is plenty to do with lots of animals to see and feed, as well as smaller cuddly animals to pet!"

"My final entry goes to Woodthorpe Park – a couple of miles north of the city centre and overlooked by some heinous towering architecture, but a green jewel of Nottingham nonetheless!. Originally forested grazing land for a pig farm, it then became the family home of Henry Ashwell and the Grade II listed building still stands on its grounds today. Over the years there have been railway tracks running North to South across and under the estate but World War I and the electric tram eventually put a stop to that!"

"If you’re looking for a good all-in-one day out, Woodthorpe Grange Park is one of the best parks in Nottingham. It’s home to The Grange, a 19th century manor house, which is surrounded by formal gardens, green houses, and wooded areas. Fun activities include an 18-hole pitch and putt golf course, two football pitches, and a tropical house."

"This park is also on the edge of the city centre, and it has a variety of facilities there, including sports pitches and a tropical house which holds a variety of plants and trees. The park also has a café and toilets, as well as formal gardens."
