The Pudding Pantry Nottingham

You know you're onto something good when the dessert cabinet makes you forget why you came for lunch. This Trinity Square charmer treats puddings with the respect they deserve – none of that supermarket nonsense here. The sticky toffee pudding arrives properly warm with custard that actually tastes of vanilla, while the treacle tart could make your nan weep with joy. The savoury stuff holds its own too. Decent jacket potatoes, proper soups, and sandwiches that don't scrimp on the filling. It's the sort of place where regulars chat to staff about weekend plans, and you'll find yourself lingering longer than planned. The setting helps – Trinity Square's Georgian charm beats any shopping centre food court hands down.
