I've just been into Aqua which is the cafe built at Nottingham Univeristy's public park, for want of a better description.
The food smelt absolutely heavenly. There was only a small choice on the menu -
three starters e.g. asparagus with parmasan and something else, can't rmemeber
three main - pan fried salmon with spicy cous cous
three sarnies e.g. camembert and pancetta on french stick
pud - cocnut rice pudding with choc ice cream or bramley apple and blackberry crumble.
Children can be fed from the main menu - half portions at half price and pasta dishes can be made to your child's taste.
BRILLIANT!!
They serve alcohol and lovely coffee and it's always busy at lunchtime with people from the uni or offices locally. In the morning and afternoon, mums and babies/toddlers and others go for walks around the lake (which is why I was there).
The place is lovely - clean and bright.
I didn't notice high chairs. They do have a note on the door saying 'For hygiene purposes could mums and toddlers please leave bikes and trikes outside'
There are a few tables outside and there is room for the children to wander round and a wall high enough for them not to end up in the lake, but also a see-through ?glass barrier that they can watch the ducks and swans through.
It's also open in the evenings - there's a small theatre there and I have booked DD and I plus an extra ticket for her to take a friend into every children's event from mid-April to end August (about 8 or 10 shows or workshops) for the princely sum of £85.50!
Highly reommended for days like today for anyone in the Nottingham area!
