Little Brickhouse

Nottinghamshire, Nottingham - European - Restaurant - ££

Global flavours in a quirky, neighbourhood eatery

Overall Rating: Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

How 2020s is this? The place started off as a domestic supper club, before decamping to a Sherwood shipping container and then finding its way to Derby Road through a crowdfunding operation. It appears to have settled in nicely. Inside is a jumble of furniture to either side, with a pathway running between them, and an embarrassment of decorative riches – the work of local artists trying their luck amid a tide of eccentric knick-knacks. The day's food offerings are chalked up on a board in front of the bar area, and take an enthusiastically global approach. As well as tempting bar snacks, the menu deals in plates of varying sizes, but all portions are fairly generous. Brazilian clam moqueca is suddenly everywhere you look, and it turns up here, alongside the likes of truffled arancini, 'fried spuds and Parmesan cream' or prawn croquettes with tarragon crème fraîche. Our serving of burrata had a lot more going on than is usually the one-note lactic case, being kitted...

The day's food offerings are chalked up on a board in front of the bar area, and take an enthusiastically global approach. As well as tempting bar snacks, the menu deals in plates of varying sizes, but all portions are fairly generous. Brazilian clam moqueca is suddenly everywhere you look, and it turns up here, alongside the likes of truffled arancini, 'fried spuds and Parmesan cream' or prawn croquettes with tarragon crème fraîche. Our serving of burrata had a lot more going on than is usually the one-note lactic case, being kitted out with rhubarb, almonds, herb oil and bitter leaves. That clam moqueca also impressed us, as did a serving of pork and cabbage dumplings.

When the plates get larger, they grow into the likes of beef brisket in Madeira with horseradish mash or skrei cod in white wine. Finish with frozen chocolate mousse nibbed with candied ginger, or tonka panna cotta with apple and cider compôte. The wine list is all-natural, naturally, and there are cocktails and beers too.
