The quirky (and slightly eccentric) chain of restaurants boasts its largest UK venue in Nottingham, serving hearty meals and delicious drinks within warm and comforting interiors.

Whilst dogs are only allowed in their bar area, it's a lovely space - with squishy sofas to sink into whilst you sample their substantial menu (we've heard great things about the Asian Fried Chicken starter).

Their tipples are something to shout about - offering everything from Strawberry Shrub Mojitos to a terribly-British-sounding Marmalade Spritz. Better still, you can indulge in a pair of their signature cocktails for only £12.95 Sunday to Friday, between 4 pm and 8 pm.

BEST BITS

• Outlandish menu (in a good way)
• Distinctive cocktail selection
• Comfy interiors
