Premier Inn Nottingham City Centre (Chapel Bar) hotel

You wouldn't expect much from a hotel restaurant tucked inside a Premier Inn, but this Chapel Quarter spot consistently surprises. The dining area feels more gastropub than corporate chain, with warm lighting and actual character that makes you forget you're technically eating in a hotel lobby. The menu sticks to British comfort food done properly – think proper Sunday roasts, decent fish and chips, and burgers that actually taste like something. It's nothing revolutionary, but when you're staying in the city centre or just want a reliable meal before exploring Chapel Quarter's bars, it does the job without the usual hotel restaurant markup or pretension.
