It's just over three years since Cosy Club opened in Nottingham, taking over an iconic property that had been closed for more than a decade. One of the city's most treasured buildings, there's no other restaurant locally quite like it.
The sweeping staircase is an impressive feature as soon as you walk through the door of the majestic Victorian premises in Victoria Street. It leads to the restaurant which oozes old-school glamour with sparkling chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, plush red upholstery, mahogany chairs, golden friezes and ornate pillars.
It's not my first visit - I've been several times, so you could say it's one of my favourite spots. On this particular occasion it's my day off so I'm a lady who lunches, joining friends, who collectively make up the Three Blondes' Lunch Club.
