Greasy spoons, pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and cosy cafes... whether it's cheap and cheerful or something more fancy, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to sitting down for a full English in Nottingham. Over the years I've tucked into hearty breakfasts at the GB Cafe, Bill's, the Warsaw Diner, Cosy Club, The Roebuck and long lost cafes like the Granby Kitchen, a proper old-school cafe in Station Street, where a fried slice preceded today's hankering for hash browns.
For my latest expedition I decided to go down the 'posher' route, heading to Binks Yard at Nottingham's Island Quarter. Part of the impressive looking building that blends old and contemporary architecture that sprung up on London Road, the all day food, drink and entertainment venue sits beneath the fine dining restaurant Cleaver & Wake by the side of the canal.
If it's your first visit, a tip. It's easiest to access around the back, rather than the steps next between the Premier Inn Hotel and the water's edge. As we arrive the giant outdoor screen is showing footie news and although it's starting to get warmer we decide against sitting outside.
