🍔 SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

Dino Bar is a stylish, warmly lit Mediterranean bar and restaurant with a menu that covers comfort from every angle.

There are sharing boards, bruschetta and prawns in garlic butter to start, followed by pastas in creamy sauces, veggie moussaka, Tuscan chicken and seafood plates that feel like holiday food. The fajitas arrive sizzling with all the extras, and the steaks are 21-day matured Nottinghamshire cuts with sauces you’ll want to mop up.

Cocktails come strong and steady, making Dino Bar the kind of place where lunch slips into dinner and dinner slips into drinks without you noticing.

A brand new sci-fi thriller filmed right here in Nottingham hits the big screen. The Correction Unit throws a group of young offenders into an AI-driven rehab programme that quickly spirals into illusion, fear and a fight to escape before the system takes control. With Bella Ramsey voicing the sinister AI and a cast pulled straight from Nottingham’s own streets, this is homegrown cinema with teeth. Dark, punchy and proudly local, grab a ticket before it sells out.
