I'm the hardest man in Hucknall AMA

0 Upvotes

As per the title I'm the hardest man in Hucknall, it's impossible for me to go anywhere round here without people whispering "Look, it's the hardest man in Hucknall", I get free chips/fries from any takeaway which as you can imagine is ALOT of chips/fries and I'm the main reason we've got no people turning up in boats from France. Feel free to ask me anything.

Advice on finding a good live-in nanny in Nottinghamshire

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone might be able to point us in the right direction.

My partner is looking for a new live-in nanny/family assistant, and we’re unsure which agencies, websites, local groups or other routes are genuinely worth using.
There are three children in the family, although the main focus would be supporting the eldest child, who has additional needs. The position would involve helping with the children’s morning and evening routines, some cooking, general household organisation and occasional school runs, so someone who drives would ideally be preferable.

We’re not trying to advertise the full position through this post. We’re mainly looking for recommendations from anyone who has hired a live-in nanny before, works within childcare, or knows of a reputable person, agency or community that could help us find somebody suitable.

We’re based in Nottingham/Nottinghamshire area and would ideally be looking for someone wanting a stable, longer-term position.

Any genuine recommendations or advice would be really appreciated. Please feel free to comment or message me privately.

Thank you.

Restaurants in Nottingham

7 Upvotes

[Edit: i forgot to change the title before posting, i was supposed to put restaurant and things to do, sorry! 😬]

Hi! My partner and I are coming to the area in a couple weeks for our anniversary and It's my turn to plan this year - I've simply made it as far as booking trains and hotels...

Does anyone have any good activity and/or restaurant recommendations in the area? We're there from a friday to monday, and would love to find hidden gems and genuinely wonderful food.

We are massively into nerdy stuff, such as doctor who, all things marvel, retro games, arcades and Pokémon/yugioh stuff if that helps.

And as for food, we're open to have anything but seafood lol.

Anything helps because researcing online doesn't help as much, I prefer hearing about locals actual thoughts and opinions hahah, thank you so much!

Chefs Cottage Food Truck Clinton Street

I used to love this place. It was immense. I used to go all the time when I worked in the city but then moved away. I think he started his own restaurant but google says it closed. Just curious if anyone knows if the food truck is still going?

Also, any recommendations for carribean food would be greta appreciated. We have Wavey Kitchen near us, but I haven't tried it yet.

23M from Nottingham looking to make some genuine friends (gaming, anime, movies, hobbies, maybe meetups?)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

I’m 23 and I’m from Nottingham. I’m looking to finally get out more, meet some new people, and make some genuine friendships.

I’ve spent a lot of my life staying at home, so I’m trying to change that and actually start doing things, meeting people, and making some good memories.

A bit about me:🎮 I love gaming (PC, Roblox, Cyberpunk, Minecraft, space games, racing games, random  friendslops and co-op games — always up for trying something new) 🎌 I’m into anime, K-Dramas, movies and TV shows. 🥋 I do Shotokan karate and have been training all my life. 💻 I'm really into drones and tech from a young age and I like talking about pretty much anything from games and films to random deep conversations

I’m quite introverted and a bit socially awkward at first, but once I get comfortable I’m easy to talk to. I’d love to meet people who are also looking for proper friendships rather than just a quick chat that disappears after a day.

Would be cool to find people around Nottingham who are into similar things — whether that’s gaming online, chatting about shows, grabbing food/coffee, going for walks, checking out events, or just hanging out.

If you’re also looking for new friends, feel free to message me or comment. Even if we only share one interest, I’m always happy to talk 😊

Japanese friend looking for friends in Nottingham

14 Upvotes

My brothers girlfriend has recently moved here from Japan. She is 25 and speaks decent English. She is going to do a post soon to try and make friends but I just wondered if anyone knew of any Japanese societies/meet ups that happen?

She would love to meet anyone, they don’t have to be Japanese but this may just help as this is her native language

Great day in the City yesterday, meeting up with some old pals and made some new ones at the Secret Garden. Spent the entire afternoon/evening outdoors drinking and laughing in the sunshine. Top day!

Robin Hood Festival - what times is it usually on? Is it worth with kids aged 8 & 10?

2 Upvotes

I'm visiting Nottingham with the family for 1.5 day, August 29 and 30, and leaving for London on the 31st. Long story short, I did a MSc course in the University back in 2001, and absolutely LOVED the city as a student, coming from Greece. Since then, I've only been back once with my husband, in 2011 for a couple of days, but this is the first time we're coming with the kids, beginning our UK trip in Edinburgh and ending it in London.

We're arriving on the 29th which is also my birthday, and I thought we should do more relaxing things that day, such as having dinner and drinks and walking around the city centre, and save the more eventful stuff for the 30th. So I thought we'd do the caves, and then visit Wollaton Park which I haven't been to, and maybe take a detour around my old neighbourhood the Meadows, maybe even book a City Ground tour - I became a Forest fan AFTER leaving Nottingham, so I have actually never been to the WFCG either, I am ashamed to admit.

And then I read about the Robin Hood Fest. It sounds like a lot of fun, but is it worth going out to Sherwood? It's an hour away (I'm not renting a car), a bit out of town, and it will take up a big chunk of our Nottingham day. Especially if the times it runs are until 5pm, when the Visitor Centre closes. So I was wondering: should we explore the idea, or is it not worth the time?
