BEAR Hockley is perched slap-bang in the middle of Nottingham's creative neighbourhood. With its small red frontage nestled in amongst the rainbow colours of Carlton Street, the store has a lot more to show off inside than first meets the eye. Expect light, breezy decor, cosy coffee & cocktail nooks, and (our favourite feature) a beautiful glass roof that floods the place with natural sunlight.

Glad we booked as most tables were reserved for Sunday brunch. The Turkish eggs were really delicious

We went for dinner - the atmosphere was great and there was a live musician. The service and food was great with also a good deal for cocktails.

We had a lovely family brunch at Bear, Nottingham. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food & drinks were lovely. It’s our second visit and we will definitely be returning.

Great food, friendly staff. Not so keen on the fact that you have to place your order at the bar now rather than at the table, as it makes it a less relaxing experience.
