Restaurant · Nottingham
A big, high-ceilinged room that swallows noise rather than amplifying it, which means a buggy and a toddler mid-wobble don't feel like an intrusion — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and level access in. The hanging kebabs are what people come back for, with the halloumi one winning over even committed meat-eaters, and there's proper vegan choice beyond an afterthought (the tofu gets particular praise). Calamari, hummus, the pie of the day and a sticky toffee pudding all land well, and the team are relaxed about swaps — chips instead of fries, no fuss. Book if you can: turning up at a busy sitting can mean a wait, and food occasionally arrives less than piping hot. Drinks are where the bill climbs. Live music some evenings makes it feel like an occasion; one family called the food "perfectly presented and extremely tasty".
