Hungry Pumpkin Restaurant in Nottingham

Friendly staff. Absolutely delicious. I had traditional (large) English breakfast and my partner had the Mega English breakfast. The toast was amazing, large thick home sliced bread, nicely buttered. Tea was piping hot and a small jug of milk accompanied it. Truly delicious, definitely worth a visit. Annette & Henk (Belgium)

We visited here whilst in Nottingham for the day, with it coming up as one of the top rated cafes in the city centre. From entering we were greeted straight away, being shown to our seats. We both went for one of the cafes signature dishes, the “Pumpkin Special”. This came with Chorizo, Eggs, Mushrooms, Peppers, Toasted Ciabatta. One with swapped mushrooms for avocado & the other peppers for avocado. The food was absolutely delicious, & I don’t have any criticisms. The waiter, maybe the owner was genuinely lovely throughout time spent at the cafe.

Our first visit and thoroughly enjoyed. Salads were substantial and tasty. Welcoming staff. Good value. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic place! Away from the busy streets of the city, it's a small place but super friendly with amazing food. We had a BLT, club sandwich and breakfast muffins, the food was fantastic. We will be going back!

I adore the Hungry Pumpkin and am always happy when I get the chance to go. Nothing beats the warm Italian hospitality and marvellous food, which is not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. They have a wide range of sandwiches, pastas, and breakfast fare, and they serve a lasagna that could convince even the saddest, most beaten-down soul that love is real and life is beautiful. If this place is still open when I have a child (and I hope it will be) I’m taking them here for their birthdays.

Delicious chicken Brie and cranberry panini with a cup of tea. The staff were very friendly and helpful with the food excellent value !! Will come back when in Nottingham

Wonderful lunch at Hungry Pumpkin. Really kind service from staff, felt very welcome. Had a great Panini and coffee for lunch. Amazing gem in Nottingham!

Very very delicious food, portions are very good, the coffee is amazing. The service is very good, you feel so welcomed with a very cozy atmosphere Andrea was very welcoming to us and to every one entering the restaurant,his service was excellent Highly recommended

We came across this small bistrò walking around Nottingham, hidden in a small street by the Cathedral, caught my attention with the authentic Italian products exposed in their windows.. so we chosen to enter and give it a go! Well, my wife and I were soon welcomed, advised and guided on our choices in the proper Italian way before we discovered that the Manager is both italian and passionate for his own culture and cuisine...The food was simply amazing, tasty and at good price! We didn't have the occasion to be back but we will not miss the occasion next time.. . it's definetly worth to try!

So wonderful to find this gem for breakfast. Highly recommend great service, ambience and food.

Quality food, best coffee in Nottingham and a lovely environment. The nice Italian man made me an espresso that was very strong. bellissimo!

Being a regular at the Hungry Pumpkin for over two years, I can definitely say it’s one of the best brunch spots in Nottingham. The food is delicious and the coffee, whether iced or hot, is always good. The team are so friendly and welcoming and there’s always a lovely atmosphere in the coffee shop. I’d highly recommend a visit!

This is by far the best place we have eaten in Nottingham & we have tried many many places. We travel 25 miles to eat at this cafe & we are never disappointed. The food is always absolutely delicious, simply out of this world!!!!! & all the staff are so welcoming & friendly.

Lovely atmosphere and welcoming attentive staff, tasty hot chocolate and pastries cooked to perfection, will be back to try other items soon

Great menu, good food & nice atmosphere.

If you are looking for a cafe for a simple coffee, brunch or lunch with a great atmosphere I would recommend the Hungry Pumpkin

Excellent lasagne and cannelloni. Excellent friendly service. Highly recommended and they do all day breakfast. I can’t think of anything else to raise the characters to 55!

Visited the caves and justice museum. By chance found this gem. Popped in with a family of 5. Really impressed from start to finish, prices were very reasonable. Great service Great food. Would definitely go back again.

First time going today and I'll definitely be back

Wow ... very recommended place for breakfast. Fantastic taste and good price.

Absolutely first rate! Even rearranged seating to fit our party of 6, including 2 young children. Excellent food for little money, quick and friendly service with a smile!

Excellent Americano and nice food.

Beautiful little cafe recommended by a friend, great service, lovely food and decent music, will definately return,,

Lovely food and very quick service

Lovely place google did say it was busy, so we had a look anyway, and it was perfect. great food and staff

Went here for light lunch after looking at the reviews, and they were not wrong. Lovely food, good portions, great coffee, and friendly staff

Lovely cozy place to have a nice meal and coffee.

Cosy little family-run Italian restaurant. Staff are all extremely welcoming and friendly. It's a small place but that's what makes it so cosy! Food prices are reasonable and worth the portion size; came extremely quick aswell even though it was busy. Chai latte was flavorful and lovely. Will definitely be back for more!

Absolute favourite spot at the moment to grab a quick bite or hangout with friends!

Lovely place for breakfast. Nice people nice food!

An amazing find in Nottingham,friendly service,tasty,good value food,great atmosphere,clean and comfortable,highly recommend

We came for a late breakfast. It was busy but they managed to fit us in. Coffee was lovely, breakfast delicious and staff really nice! (Perfect poached eggs too!) Definitely recommend.

Went here mid week recently. Really full at lunchtime but turnover means short wait. Any and everyone eating here,complete cross section of life.So atmosphere tops for me. Staff extremely friendly and attentive despite being busy. Food on display in cabinet makes you want to eat more than you planned .Good Italian food options.Wonderful Italian coffee.Lots of folk coming in for takeaways.Reasonable prices Brilliant place...and they answer an email query!!!!Love it.

Our go to place for breakfast in the weekend. Cute little cafe with lots of choices of food. Staff are friendly and food are fresh and tasty.

The best breakfast we’ve both had in ages. The service as so quick and attentive too. Cant wait to come back!

Excellent, good food, freshly made. Very friendly atmosphere. This was our first visit, will definitely return to Hungry Pumpkin next time we are in Nottingham.

Great vegan breakfast with plenty to eat. All hot and well cooked. Nice and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place

Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere and really friendly service. You can see how popular it is as there were queues to get a table! We had brunch, but everything looked delicious. Great coffee and lovely pastries too!

Excellent breakfast and coffee. Great menu and excellent service. Would 100% recommend.

This is a lovely little cafe with a great selection of breakfast/brunch option. We went for the Pumpkin & Italian specials which were both immaculately presented and delicious. The coffees were excellent & the staff are super friendly. I highly recommend this place and we will certainly be coming here for breakfast next time we're in Nottingham!

Delicious full English breakfast here today with coffee Friendly caring staff Thoroughly recommend

Great service, dish prepared very neatly.

A married couple staying across the road, we pulled into Hungry Pumpkin for breakfast. What a place! From a cheery welcome from staff as we walked in, to superb breakfast fare at a very reasonable price, what's not to like? The café itself is beautifully presented, with tables for two and four as customers desire and gentle music playing in the background. Go here for wonderful food in the very best atmosphere.

A gem of a place in the Nottingham Lace market Humble surroundings fabulous food

Little Italy at your door step. This place is incredible. I come here regularly and often tell people about it (all though I'd much rather it be the hidden secret it is) people have to at least try here once. Marco the owner is always welcoming as are all the staff! It's a small place but that's what I LOVE about it here

Lovely reception by staff, menu adjustments were made to meet my needs and hygiene of the cafeteria was immaculate ✌🏼💯

What a great little find. Staying in Nottingham but didn't want to pay hotel breakfast prices and found this little gem. Great food with a large selection, staff are so friendly and helpful. Ideal local business that does things right.

Great coffee, tasty food and friendly service

Great full English with fresh bread, good coffee and the staff are lovely

Friendly, family-owned cafe. Good value full English breakfast. Great coffee. Will return.

Phenomenal food. I had the avo, chorizo on sourdough with poached eggs!! Just awesome! 👌

It is a very small café. But I heard the next table comments about their meals. Everyone said that it was very nice. The atmosphere and the waters are very welcoming. Even though I had a cup of coffee and pastry, I felt as best client. If you guys read my comment, thank you very much for my coffee ☕️.

The food is delicious. , super friendly courteous staff! .

First visit and loved it. Excellent full english breakfast, great coffee, friendly staff. We will be back when we're next in Nottingham.

We visited here on the 30th November for breakfast after few days in Nottingham. We wish we had found you sooner. What a fabulous little place, fantastic food, fantastic service and the lattes are out of this world, I've actually craved another one of your coffees since I got home and very reasonable. Was the best cheese and ham omelette I'd ever had. I was so impressed I even left a tip which i only do when it's exceptional. Well done keep up the fantastic work xx

People were really friendly and the food was amazing. I definitely recommend coming here for breakfast or lunch. The place is a bit tiny but actually kind of cozy. The only thing is that you might not have a place to sit because of how tiny it is. Overall a really good place to go to.

Beautiful little cafe, the food was delicious and great value, and the cafe itself has a lovely atmosphere as well as selection!

Great lunch. My wife and I both loved it. Fresh tasty ingredients, the BEST club sandwich I've ever had.

Hungry Pumpkin is a hidden gem. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is very cosy. It manages to combine the egalitarian charm of a 'greasy spoon' with the quality of an Italian cafe.

I went here with my wife and Son for coffee and it didn't disappoint. Our only regret is that we had already eaten so we just had coffee and Hot chocolate for my son. When ever the food came past us for the other customers it looked amazing though, so we will definitely be back for food next time we are in Notts. The staff were very friendly, saying hello to every customer as they entered and goodbye as they left. It seemed also to be very popular for takeaway, which is another good sign for the food. From our experience the coffee and hot chocolate was great. See you next time Hungry Pumpkin 🎃

I had a really enjoyable lunch at the Hungry Pumpkin with my sister. The Italian staff were warm, friendly and very helpful, giving the cafe a lovely atmosphere. Our food was delicious and very generous portions - especially the wedges! We'd highly recommend it and will be back next time we visit Nottingham. PS We also bought Italian biscuits and pasta from the Deli :-0)

Cosy little independent café. Friendly welcoming staff. Excellent food and coffee. Can particularly recommend the (huge) breakfast wrap and (equally huge) club sandwich

Been twice now. Its a small place and we've had to wait a few minutes for a table both times but it's worth it. Good tasting coffee and breakfasts are fantastic. Mega breakfast is excellent value. My wife loves the Halloumi special. The friendliness of the staff makes it even better and a few places could learn from here how to treat customers. We will be back when in Nottingham again.

Propper little jem. Called in for breakfast and wonderful service, friendly atmosphere and as I was struggling to decide I was offered a hybrid that was possibly the tastiest breakfast I've had. We will be back next time we are in Nottingham.

No wonder why people are queuing outside! Lovely place,great food and superb service.

Hidden gem. Fantastic food and lovely owner. Even the people were in the q on the rain, to get a seated. Worth a wait, trust me.

Really friendly little cafe, lovely staff and even lovelier food

What a place 😁 we've missed eating here as forget its shut on Sundays do made a point of being there Saturday. Gets busy and even though it was cold waiting outside we were sat down and eating within 20 minutes. Staff are very welcoming and cleary working hard all the time.

Great service, great breakfast and great prices!

Certainly the best coffee I've had in Nottingham, this tiny café serves excellent snacks at reasonable prices and the staff are friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Our favourite cafe ever!! Absolute hidden gem of Notts, Such lovely food and staff, I would go every week if I lived closer x Love, the balsamic girls ♥️

Fabulous little place. Great breakfast (poached eggs chorizo and avocado) and coffee. Definitely recommend a visit.

What to say about this place.. Italian chefs making English dishes, it’s pure magic!! Since the first time I have been in this place, the guys welcomed me with happiness and joy letting me feel at comfortable, thing that they do with all the costumers because they are so friendly. The smell of the food, the taste, how it looks like it’s just perfect, same as the coffee they do, it’s just wow! I really recommend to try this place, because it will satisfy your mouth and your belly!

Saw a recommendation online and it definitely lived up to expectations. Gorgeous breakfast.

El personal es súper amable y atento. Se nota que ponen cariño en lo que hacen.

Excellent poached eggs with crushed avocados. Staff is friendly and service is quick.

Stayed in the Lace Market Hotel Sunday 24th and Monday 25th Sept. Looked out of the bedroom window and saw the Hungry Pumpkin. Went for a look, right then, Breakfast in here Monday. Great Breakfast, Great Staff, Great prices and a Very Good Menu. Tuesday Morning, Breakfast Time. Hmmmmm? Where shall we go? Yes, to the Hungry Pumpkin! Just as Great today as it was yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a wonderful little restaurant. So warm and welcoming! Great prices and the food is amazing.

Excellent choice of food on the menu. Reasonably priced and the service is excellent

Small cozy coffee with delicious tasty food! Staff super friendly! Highly recommend the minalese chicken with roasted potatoes

Love this place. Punches way above its weight. Intimate, superior service and exquisite food and of course coffee. Love the Italian pastries and always take to friends as gifts. Highly highly recommend. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Incredible service and great food

We moved to Nottingham City a few weeks ago and The Hungry Pumpkin Cafe/Restaurant was on our short list to visit. It was easy to find, very cute outside, a few tables and chairs to sit and enjoy a meal on a quiet back road. Beautifully decorated inside, surprisingly large with quite a few tables to choose from. You can tell that the locals walk in and out throughout the day because many of them popped in to pick food up while we were there. The place is absolutely spotlessly clean. Andrea greeted us with the most welcoming smile, we instantly felt at home. The food is all home made, and the chef had no issues changing things up a bit with adding fresh vegetables to my husbands meal. Everything was so delicious and we finished every morsel on our plates. My hubby had dessert, and we ordered some to take home for later because it was scrumptious. If you're looking for a simple snack or a delicious home cooked meal, then visit The Hungry Pumpkin on High Pavement in Nottingham City Centre. We're definitely going to become regular visitors.

We met a friend on a quick visit to Nottingham. There was an extensive menu, plus specials. We are vegan, our friend is an omnivore. We all found food to our liking. The staff were friendly and attentive. Great experience.

Fantastic value great veggie breakfast friendly staff. Can be busy at times but doesn't distract from service level

Food & service were awesome . Baked spud, veggie breakfast for lunch was so very good. Make the effort to come here - you’ll have no regrets! Fabulous atmosphere and excellent home cooked food. Will be back for coffee again tomorrow.

Worth hunting out, we went because of the reviews, had to wait a little while for a table but was worth it. I had the omelette, others had sandwiches and ciabatta. All was delicious, freshly cooked, excellent service and great value for money. Lots of people were ordering takeaway lunch and coffee.

Le petit déjeuner traditionnel anglais était excellent. Le personnel est très accueillant. Je vous le conseille fortement.

We have been all over the Uk and ate breakfasts and this place is by far the best we have had, absolutely phenomenal 😁👍

Breakfast with an Italian twist , fantastic food , the coffee was superb too ☕️ First choice for a breakfast in Nottingham Citu Centre .

We were looking for a good brunch before driving back home to Dorset and this lovely cafe was spot on. Fabulous food, outstanding coffee and warm and friendly service. Highly recommended!

A lovely family owned place to eat. We often visit here when we come into the city centre because the food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. They do a lovely range of sandwiches and Italian dishes, and the coffee is delicious. I’d definitely recommend it as a place to go for lunch.

What a little gem. Great service and a range of breakfast options for every taste. Eight tables only and very popular when we went for breakfast! Awesome coffee ☕

Amazing breakfast, lovely coffee. The perfect antidote to a Brighton loss the following day. Will definitely visit again next time I’m in Nottingham

I don’t usually write reviews, often I am underwhelmed by a restaurant but I loved the hungry pumpkin, small, busy, completely un pretentious just delicious food and friendly not over the to service. We’ll definitely be back

If you want a comfortable Place and eat well...that's the right restaurant!!! The personel very nice. The food really good! I recommend It!

Superb food, the staff are passionate and very attentive, a popular goldmine. All good home made, great atmosphere

First time visiting this cute cafe for breakfast. Staff are very friendly and attentive. I had an Italian breakfast which I really enjoyed.

Absolutely adore this place. I’m not generally a coffee snob but the coffee here is a cut above. The service is great and the food is also incredible! Can recommend anything with Italian sausage in. Couldn’t recommend more, just make sure you get there early...

Vicino alla cattedrale.....per caso .... abbiamo scorto due vetrine "italiane" ....e come ? Il gestore ha allestito la vetrina con...
