And if you're and if you're vegan we've got the V spot *chuckles*
Ay-up i'm The Nott'm Lass and I want to ask you a question! Is Sherwood now a great place to hang out
in Nottingham? You see Sherwood has now morphed into this really cool place.
It used to be a really boring, dull little high street, but now we can call it the
Sherwood Strip! Yes, The Golden Strip of Sherwood! Lots of people are now saying,
"hey I'm going on a night out in Sherwood" a few years ago that would have never
happened, believe me. There used to be a couple of
old run-down pubs and a few tired restaurants, but now, just five minutes
from the city on a bus or driving your car and it's free parking
unlike going into the city cenrer or West Bridgford. It's just the place to
go now and I'll show you what it's like. Okay so next to the free parking they've
got this huge gym called The Gym. It actually used to be an old Co-op so it's
pretty big inside. It's open 24 hours a day so you can go there at 3 in the
morning if you fancy it but I certainly won't be doing that! So
walking through, we've got A Stone's Throw for cards and gifts, a really cute
little place and just across the road we've got a new vintage Emporium called
Whittle and Wolf but enough of stuff like that let's talk about food and
drink! So everyone is talking about the Bakehouse!
It's such a cool rustic cafe and they've got tapas on Thursdays, Fridays and
Saturdays. Everyone is raving about the food. Then right next door we've got the
Crimson Tree, which is another cafe in a vintage sort of style! Look at this
lovely entrance it's just beautiful! I love the yellow door. Anyway, then there's
Holland and Barrett for all your vits and then right next door
we've got Rikshaw, get it? Yeah yeah, Indian street food yummy!
And then there's Hugo's for creative cocktails!
They've got strawberry mojitos for six quid. I had a little chat with Catherine the owner.
When I was filming she rushed out to see what I was doing. She didn't want to be
on camera, but she told me that Hugo's is named after her little boy aw lucky old
Hugo having a cocktail bar named after him! That's pretty cool! Next door we've
got Pizza Hut and a Post Office you don't get many of those Nottingham! Right next
door to the Post Office we have this beautiful shop, it's sells global gifts
and homeware and it's called Elefair. So you see if you want to go to India
and the Far East but you don't want to buy all them souvenirs, just nip to Elefair and
get them the shops full of them! Of course Sherwood's got its fair share of
charity shops. Have you heard of Ginza Teppan-Yaki yes,
it's an old established Japanese restaurant here in the heart of Sherwood.
It's been going ever since I can remember and it's highly rated. They've
got a huge menu, yum yum yum, I must try it sometime. Then you've got Marc and Daina's
for some fine English dining, you know, white table cloths and stuff. But then,
just next door, a bit more down to earth, you've got O'More, they do kebabs,
burgers and pizzas. It's bright and cheerful and really super clean. And then,
wahey! We've got the Pudding Pantry. I love the decor, it's turquoise! Anyway,
every Saturday they have a movie night, with movie themed menus and gourmet
popcorn. And I love the sign in the window, "you scream I scream we all scream
for ice cream" Ha ha ha anyway, moving on we've got
Mr. Thai Food, he's cheap and cheerful and then next door, oh my god, we've got
Rakka Rakkas! This is an amazing Turkish restaurant and it's been going for like
two years now. Anyway, it's run by a Ali and Simal and
they're adding more space upstairs and a terrace at the back and they are super
enthusiastic about everything. A friend of mine's been in, and she said it was
fantastic! Next to there we've got the Le Mistral oh it's French! It's a bar and
bistro it's really intimate inside and they do an amazing fixed-price lunch
been there a few times you've got to check it out! Just down from the Mistral
is Mazzi. She's got a beautiful boutique, in fact she lives near me and
she's now doing girls clothes and she's so helpful in making you look great in
her clothes! Anyway, what high street wouldn't be
complete without a Wetherspoon's! So Sherwood's is in a converted bus
depot. It's called Samuel hall and for about £3.50 you can get breakfast and a
bottomless cup of coffee. So of course you get loads of people in
there working on my laptops, because it's better to sit there at work then
put the heating on at home! A lot of self-employed people go there. Just down
from there we've got Kraft Werks on the corner, they do craft beers very
exclusive! Just further down we've got Saagar. This is for a fine
Indian dining experience. I went there with my mum Deb. We had a fantastic meal.
it's quite splendid inside, they've just done it up and the table cloths are crisp
white! So yeah, Sherwood's got it's own library and you'll notice this little
Robin here. So Sherwood bought two Robins to decorate the place. Just further up,
we've got Willow House, the best Chinese takeaway in town. They're very friendly
in there and the vegetarian spring rolls are to die for!
Next to them we've got Crafty Teller, which is an independent bar. They do tapas,
cocktails and stuff like that. Really is quite cool inside. It's a must visit
place. Then we have Delightful Desserts. Indulge yourself with coffee and
desserts. And then of course there's the Sherwood.
It's a rough old pub where you can watch live sport. Enough said.
Now Ania, it's a highly exclusive polish restaurant. I think it's won awards. We
opened the door, to have a look in and it was absolutely packed... well the owner
came out to see what we were doing. So I said she was gonna be on my vlog! Next
door so that we've got a tattoo and piercing shop called Ink credible Ink. We've
got a A&W a Caribbean cafe to try out. Then there's Ozan, an international food store
and they've got this amazing freshly baked bread in there. We just bought some
and it's absolutely delicious!
Of course, Sherwood has got a Boots and an Italian restaurant called La Capanna, it's been there years! And then next
door to that we've got Sanita's Flower Shop, it's just beautiful!
If you fancy Chinese and Thai we've got Chopstix and if you're and if
you're vegan we've got the V Spot *Chuckles* and another Robin
to say hello to! There's Nibbles, for hot lunchtime grub to take away and then
there's Debs favourite shop, A Room Full of Butterflies! It's an art gallery with
nick-nacks. Deb, my mum, wants everything in there. Fancy an Indian takeaway? We've
got Masala. Of course, we've got a Wilko. Next door, which is always bustling and
busy, is Cchino's, but with two c's! Anyway, you can take your dog in
there. And finally, just up the road, is Jenkins, a cool and friendly bar. So
that's it! That's Sherwood! What do you think about Sherwood? Is it on a par with
West Bridgford? Has it caught West Bridgford up yet?
Would you rather go to Sherwood or go to town? Of course
Sherwood is gonna be a lot cheaper than town! Thanks for watching and I'll
see you guys soon!
