Restaurant · Nottingham
Handy if you're visiting the university campus and want somewhere calm to eat with children in tow — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and the public areas are roomy and stylish enough that a pram isn't a problem. Breakfast is where it really shines: fresh, plentiful, and with enough choice that even a fussy eater finds something. The chips get particular praise as a quick bite, and the staff are consistently warm and attentive. Two honest notes: it's on the pricier side for what you get, and the restaurant kitchen can be slow at busy times — starters have taken half an hour, which is a long wait with a hungry toddler. The car park also fills up when there's an event on, so it's worth ringing ahead. One visitor called the staff "just phenomenal".
