The best restaurants in Wollaton East and Lenton Abbey Nottingham East Midlands

Anytime I go into Avocafe it always makes my day soooo much better. 9am to 5pm breakfast, brunch, lunch or afternoon meal or the best coffee in Nottingham, the best smoothies. Jordana has made this little corner just a short walk, car ride(good parking) , e-bike(lots next door) , bus (one every few minutes from the city or uni or as far as Derby as it’s on Derby Rd. There’s a wonderful art deco cinema next door and a lovely Sainsbury’s Local for all your shopping. Lovely garden with tables outside so lovely on a sunny day like today. Lots of cool students but also it’s central to the local diverse communities. My favourite changes every time I go in as the chefs (particularly Emily) make you whatever you want on the lovely nutritious menu. My favourite today is the rose matcha cold drink with sourdough toast and avocado. The best music chosen by the wonderful staff but it’s just the best vibe ever. It’s so good I’m gonna get a tattoo of their cool logo of an avocado on a bike! My favourite place in the world!

Stayed at the nearby Travelodge and called in for breakfast on the Monday morning and were terribly disappointed to find it was shut. Not only that, but it did not appear to have been opened for some time.

I recently helped organise two charity events and I asked the Rose & Crown to help with the buffet for both events and they happily agreed. The food at both events was exceptional, great variety and plenty to go round. The service provided was brilliant as well and they made everything straightforward and provided a great experience.

Expensive side but that’s costa the brand the place is nice it’s in a nice environment very good for studying with other uni students staff are nice too!

Wes down on Wednesday asked for a sit in but was told it was takeaway only that night so ordered a portion of chicken pakora, chips etc got back to the hotel to find I had three onion bhagis in the bag no chicken due to the distance I would have went back to complain.

Great place. Situated on beautiful Nottingham Uni campus. Food lovely, great prices. Pool table was fun!

WOW! This place has ticked all the boxes! Externally it looks warm, inviting and made us (my mum and I) want to take a peek.... we decided to go in for breakfast and the place is so very beautifully decorated. Every inch as something quirky and foxy that we sat there for the first 10 mins just looking around and pointing it all out to each other! The menu is great, cant imagine anyone not being able to find something to order. I have an allergy also and they fully accommodated it without me feeling like I was an inconvenience. The food was so great that we returned the next day just to buy some of the banana bread to take home with us! I really cannot recommend this place highly enough - 5 stars are not enough!

Nice pub with good beer and good staff.

First time trying this place, nicely cooked donner meat will definitely go back, need more sauce next time

The weather here at Nottingham is very pleasant...with drizzle and cool breeze .the best thing in this weather is a hot cup of well brewed coffee. Starbucks does the magical blend of coffee .

I have dined here on four occasions and found the first two to be excellent. However in September my husband and I had dinner and we both felt the food was well below standard but gave the benefit of the doubt that this was a one off. I dined here on the 25th with a friend and sadly the food was even worse than the time before. The Goan monkfish curry looked stunning on the plate but unfortunately the fish was dry, overcooked and lukewarm warm and the rice was equally tepid. I had no option but to send it back. My friend had the lamb which again was overcooked and dry and the portion was very small. I wonder if the food is pre-cooked off site and is then just heated up in the kitchen. Thank goodness the bread was tasty. On a positive note Daisy our waitress was very professional and extremely apologetic. I was very disappointed that the Maitre de did not acknowledge the issue before we left. Would I recommend this place to eat, no I wouldn’t. Serving food of this standard I can see why the hospitality industry is struggling.

Amazing stuff boys. Very tasty, clean and good quality. Will be using again!

Coffee is excellent, loads of options for drinks and food plus plenty of vegan options. Good place for studying when the cafe is not busy, but can get very loud (and therefore not optimal for studying) when busy. Staff are always nice and the vegan offerings are always tasty, albeit a bit expensive for the (usually small) portion sizes.

This charming café offers a beautiful view of the lake, creating a lovely and inviting atmosphere. It’s wonderfully clean and cozy, making it a delightful spot to relax. However, I believe there’s room for improvement in the food quality, as it hasn't met my expectations. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the staff could be more welcoming, as they seem to struggle during busy times. I really hope these aspects can be enhanced, as I would love to visit more regularly!

Very bad dining experience, the cashier had a very bad attitude.
