Nottingham to host first ever restaurant week as cost of living creates difficult time for businesses
Nottingham BID has launched the first ever Nottingham Restaurant Week aimed at showcasing some of the best food and drink in the city
It’s been a difficult time for businesses as the cost of living, energy crisis and supply issues have caused prices to soar meaning many places have had to raise prices. Restaurant Week hopes to shine a light on the amazing food and drink scene in Nottingham by encouraging diners to try something new or create affordable ways for people to eat in the city centre.
The event will run from Monday, May 15 until Sunday, May 23. Restaurants will be able to join the campaign to offer special menus or quality deals for breakfast, lunch or dinner even afternoon tea. Participants will create exclusive menus priced at £5, £10, £15, £20 or £25 that showcase signature menu items.
It is hoped that the event will encourage footfall into the city centre and bring restaurant owners together to host a city-wide event. Several city centre-based restaurants have already confirmed they will be taking part in the event.
This includes Swatch Restaurant and Lounge at Crowne Plaza, the Cosy Club, Chino Latino, Happy Dough Lucky, Copper, Revolution in Hockley, Kottaram, Pitcher and Piano, Mojo Nottingham, Bistro Pierre and Tomahawk. Las Iguanas at the Chapel Quarter will also be joining the list.
Some of the restaurants have posted their deals on Eat Nottingham as part of the initiative. Blend Nottingham will be offering £5 toasted sandwiches and Bohn’s Burgers on Broad street has created a burger, fries and drink deal for £1. Curry fans will be delighted to note that the Calcutta Club is offering a two-course menu with poppadoms for £25 per person.
The Cock and Hoop on High Pavement are offering a £10 deal on a nine-inch pizza with a drink which you can enjoy in the beautiful pub and covered beer garden. The historic restaurant, Fothergills by the Castle will also create a two-course £20 menu.
Each restaurant has its offer with individual requirements for booking or claiming the discount. You can view the entire list of offers and participating restaurants at Eat Nottingham and it's worth checking before you go what the requirements are or what the timing is.
