201***91:“The University of Nottingham is much more famous than Nottingham's tourist attractions. Nottingham Castle is one of the few tourist attractions. It is called a castle, but it is not a big house or a big manor on the hillside. If the owner lived there, it would be very comfortable. The square house and the hillside grass around it would be very comfortable. The interior of the house has been converted into a museum and art gallery, so there are not many historical relics.”

TheForkUser:“I have been coming to The Packe Arms for years. The service, food and atmosphere is always top notch. This time I had Beetroot Arancini on a bed of rainbow cousous, classic fish and chips (super fresh, chunky fish and crispy batter) and the mini pud and hot drink combo which is a great idea if you haven't got room for a full sized pudding. The new range of alcohol free drinks are also great. I had elderflower and mint.”
