Chino Latino’s
Chino Latino’s know how to throw a party. Noshingham – LeftLion’s Nottingham food blog – were invited to celebrate Chino Latino’s 10th birthday party – and boy did we party in style. Quirky cocktails, fire juggling beauties, plumes of vapour from the dry ice billowing down over a tower of sushi, contortionists, Latin dancing, more [...]
BrewDog
Right then class, pay attention. Today’s lesson is in beer tasting at BrewDog. In 2007, bored of industrially brewed lagers and stuffy ales that dominated the UK market, James Watt and Martin Dickie, both only 24 years old at the time, decided the best way to overcome their predicament was to brew their own stuff…and [...]
The Stop Bar
Tuck in to some tapas on Friar Lane We Brits may have crisps, pork scratchings and peanuts but the Spanish invented Tapas, which makes them number one at snacks-with-booze.

Doner Master
As the Nottingham Chicken War intensifies I’m sad to report that we have our first casualty of 2013 – Southern Fried Chicken has finally withered away like one of its battery farmed birds.
