Best KPortal Reviews
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of being a regular at Bread and Lard Island, a gem located in West Bridgford, Nottingham. It’s not just a bar and cafe to me; it’s a place that feels like home, thanks to the warmth and care of the owner, the culinary magic of the chef, and the entire team who’ve consistently made every visit memorable.
Every meal here is a testament to their commitment to quality and freshness. The kitchen team works wonders with fresh ingredients, ensuring that every dish not only tastes fantastic but also showcases their dedication to authentic culinary experiences. It’s clear they don’t cut corners, and it shines through in the flavours.
What truly sets Bread and Lard Island apart, though, is the atmosphere. It’s more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s a cultural hub that pulses with happy vibes and genuine community spirit. It’s where family and friends come together, where new connections are made, and where every visit feels like a celebration of what makes West Bridgford special.
I cannot recommend Bread and Lard Island enough. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make it a point to stop by. You’ll be greeted with open arms, incredible food, and an experience that will keep you coming back for more. Thank you to everyone at Bread and Lard Island for always going above and beyond. You’ve truly created something amazing.
We have been coming to bread and lard since they opened. This is such a great space with amazing atmosphere, delicious food and big selection of sweat treats and nice drinks. The food is always on the top level with few classics on the menu and some seasonal options. On Sunday they also serve the most amazing Sunday Roast.
On the photos attached we are having a classic ciabatta with eggs, bacon and homemade tomato sauce and the most tasty toasts with smashed tomatoes, basil and olive oil and delicious poached eggs. I also had “burnt honey tart” - can’t stop thinking about it.
It’s a great space in the neighbourhood, it brings joy and fun to be around. Good quality, local ingredients prepared with love.
Definitely recommend for breakfast, brunches, Sunday roasts, nice wine, beer, coffee or something sweet.
It is also very dog friendly which is amazing. Our pooch loves hanging there with us.
Having arrived at a lovely looking café, we sat down and were welcomed by the owner showing a customer out almost manhandling them out of the building. We ordered our meal I had fried eggs and hashbrowns, well I think they were a kind of hash brown. My partner had poached egg on toast. We received our mail but no coffees that we had ordered my partners poached egg on toast were hard. I took these back and asked for some new ones, then when I started my breakfast, my fried eggs were completely hard so I took these back. After waiting a further 15 minutes our replaced meals arrived But my partners poached eggs were still hard. We asked for a refund on this meal and we were offered £5 for the egg element of the poached on toast. My partner was really hungry. We did say that we wanted to eat the meal but weren’t prepared to pay for it eventually I had to intervene and said please refund us for the whole meal which begrudgingly did. Really sorry for the waitress as I’m sure she reported to the boss who had previously shown customers out of the café. A couple sat next to us and had fried egg and bacon Sandwich, the lady had avocados on toast with poached egg. I noticed that both the gentleman fried eggs yokes and the ladies poached eggs yokes were hard. Such a shame because it was a lovely place but from the minute we got there we felt uneasy and it really took a lot to complain as we didn’t want the same kind of treatment as the previous customer had had. So if you like hard fried and poached eggs, then this is the place to go. We don’t, so we won’t be returning
The atmosphere hits you as soon as you walk in the room. The staff are full of energy and look genuinely happy to see you walk through the door.
The food and coffee was delicious at a reasonable price.
What more could you ask for?
What a find!
Chocolate cake excellent (all eaten before I could take a photo!) and coffee great.
Nice rustic-style atmosphere and the service team were smiley, happy, friendly and efficient.
Highly recommended
Bread and Lard Island really is a special treat and we've been coming here a lot, especially recently. It's been said before, but this is a real gem that captures the laid back, fun with seriously good food. Whether a midweek pop in for a coffee, it's the weekend's that really set the scene. Simply the best Sunday roast around. Ben and Sam are exceptional chefs that provide delicious, high quality food, sourced with knowledge and care, together with the front of house team, make this really special! Priced a little more than average, but with taste and flavours that boom worth every penny. With laid back music, they really capture the eating out experience of the great cities of New Zealand and Australia. We shared a table for four with our family visiting from NZ and it's the first thing they said. They felt at home and loved everything. A big hit and that's what Nottingham has got with Bread and Lard. The welcome and customer service is exceptional. The menu is brilliant and easy to read, and the craft - thought that goes into everything, whether meals, cakes and lovely sourced beers-wine is exceptional. Simply a fab place to eat out. Highly recommend. Just go!
Atmosphere unmatched, love the music choices and the decor. You can't beat a table in the window, served good coffee & fantastic food. We can't seem to stop coming back!
Gorgeous food, lovely staff and a great chilled atmosphere! Coffee is also ????????
