House of Trembling Madness – York

Defying Convention

We’re getting used to seeing craft beer bars springing up in the most unlikely places… like tucked inconspcuously down an ancient York shopping street in the lee of the Minster.

Gooseberry Bush – Nottingham

I can’t say that Wetherspoon pubs float my boat but I’d be as pleased as punch if I were a student at Nottingham Trent University because this little beauty is going to be a godsend to ease the strain on their student loans! We dropped by at 11.30am on a Saturday (it was raining buckets). …

It was 4pm and the place was already pretty chocka. They’ve done a pretty good job with this grand old building, restoring …
