This year, like every year, seems to have begun with a worldwide debate on new year’s resolutions. Is setting one a good or bad idea? Is it really possible to stick to a resolution for a whole 12 months? Are resolutions in general just a waste of time? Personally I’m a big fan of new [...]
The only thing that makes me happier than having a cocktail in hand is having one in each hand, so I'd like to start this blog by extending a personal thank you from me and my bank balance to whoever invented the genius concept known as 'Happy Hour'. Happy Hour is any cocktail enthusiast's best [...]
Welcome to my latest 'Spotlight on' blog, a series where I focus on different businesses in Nottingham that deserve to be shouted about. After going to Luisa’s Vegan Chocolates for the first time last week, I honestly couldn’t wait to write this blog! Run by Luisa and her daughter Isabella, the team at Luisa's Vegan [...]
I’ve lived in Nottingham my whole life (apart from six months spent in Birmingham but that's a story for another time!) and even though I love to travel, I can’t picture myself calling anywhere else home. There’s so many things that make Nottingham a great city and it’s an especially exciting place to live if [...]

Sometimes we all just need a change of scenery and coffee shops provide a great alternative to working at home or [...]
It’s time for another ‘Spotlight on’ blog and this time we’re headed to new entertainment venue and bar Roxy Ball Room (a.k.a Roxy’s), which opened at The Cornerhouse in Nottingham city centre earlier this month. I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch party where I tried out the games and taste tested [...]
There's so much to do in Nottingham, especially in the city centre where a variety of shops, restaurants and bars are waiting around every corner. When it comes to making plans with friends or family, you’ll never be short on choice. However the cost of social plans can quickly add up, which is why I [...]
Regulars here at Luce in Notts will know that I love recommending places to eat and drink in Nottingham. Until now, I’ve done that through lists (like my top 15 independent bars and the best places to brunch) but every now and then I discover a local business that I really want to shout about, [...]
There's nothing more quintessentially British than a trip to the seaside. Who didn't spend at least one family holiday in a caravan near the sea when they were a kid? For many millennials, it wasn't until we reached our teenage years or even adulthood that we began travelling abroad and decided that the sunnier climes [...]
Now that hugs are legal again, I believe a celebratory drink is in order. As always, when it comes to the best food and drink in Nottingham, I’ve got you covered. The nightlife in Nottingham is among the best in the country and we’re fortunate to have a wide variety of independent bars to choose [...]
