Hey! I’m Leigh.

I created The Nottingham Bucket List in 2014, and I’ve been chomping my way around the city ever since.

I’m been on a mission to become a walking, talking encyclopaedia of Nottingham’s food scene, letting anyone and everyone know all of the best places to eat, drink, and just generally have a good time.

On this website, you’ll find reviews of all my favourite spots, new and old, and some top-notch guides to help you make those all-important decisions when it comes to booking yourself in for a brunch.

Got a spot in Notts that you’d like me to come and review? Drop me a message on Instagram or over email to get the ball rolling!

That’s all from me – thanks for stopping by!

We had been familiar with Leigh as a customer for quite some time, so imagine our surprise when we discovered that our lovely regular just so happened to be the face behind The Nottingham Bucket List!

Warm, personable, and always a pleasure to serve, she’s been the most welcome of visitors since we got to know her over cocktails and coffees.

Her social media presence is honest, authentic and with a strong focus on championing independent businesses. We’ve certainly felt the positive effects of a mention on The Nottingham Bucket List: no sooner has Leigh shared a review than the new followers start flooding in.

Leigh has showcased our littles venue to an audience of followers who we’d never had otherwise reached, and done so with content and commentary that we’d have been proud to post ourselves.

For that: we’re eternally grateful!

The support we have from Leigh both posting about and visiting us was so helpful, useful and important to us when we opened, and continues to be!

The honesty, the beautiful photos and the kind words has both helped us in followers, customers through the door and also staff morale to hear such nice things.

We are very grateful for the nudge into people’s radars we received when first opening due to Leigh’s postings 💛

Leigh has been a massive supporter of our small business, always spreading the work and going above and beyond to raise awareness of our brand.

Whether it’s showcasing our new product launches to her followers or filming content at our markets, Leigh has the creative flair to really show off our brand. She even helped us to secure our largest order to date!
