The story
Little Brickhouse in Nottingham brings a grounded approach to European cuisine, tracing its roots back to a modest domestic supper club. The concept eventually outgrew its original kitchen and moved through a Sherwood shipping container before settling permanently at 110 Derby Road. This family run neighbourhood spot maintains a simple philosophy centred on home cooked food and seasonal ingredients. An ever changing blackboard reflects the daily market finds, a routine that recently earned the venue a Good rating in The Good Food Guide.
The kitchen builds its reputation around shareable plates that prioritise bright flavours over heavy technique. Guests frequently return for the sesame bread served with whipped chive butter or the crisp panelle siciliane paired with fresh crab and dill. A courgette lasagne offers a lighter alternative alongside heartier options like hanger steak finished with charred Padrón peppers. These compositions reflect a flexible European cooking style that adapts quickly to what arrives at the door.
The dining room feels intentionally unpolished, filled with mismatched furniture and decorative pieces donated by nearby creators. This curated chaos creates a relaxed setting where conversation flows easily between courses. Natural wines form the backbone of the beverage programme, complemented by house cocktails and regional beers. Weekend evenings often extend past the standard service hours to accommodate live music, cinema screenings, and outdoor markets that keep the neighbourhood engaged long after the last plate clears.
