Food for Thought<\/p><\/div>\n

Hooters<\/strong>
\nA short taxi ride from the casino<\/a> is Hooters, the popular American Diner-style restaurant where, how can we put this, most waitresses won\u2019t mind if you struggle to pick a starter from the menu in their presence. We\u2019ve been there, actually, and aside from the humiliation they put anyone who might be celebrating a birthday through, the staff are a riot and the food the perfect kick-off to a night out if you\u2019ve busted or don\u2019t play until the next day. Chicken wings from here are highly recommended and, predictably, quite saucy, so if you like to eat your dinner to cabaret, Hooters is definitely the joint for you. Unless it\u2019s your birthday, in which case, be prepared to feature in a Facebook wall of shame upon your return, dressed in a giant nappy.<\/p>\n

Nandos<\/strong>
\nIf you prefer your chicken served up with hot sauce and close to the casino, then a hundred yard sprint from the dinner break klaxon is Nando\u2019s. Fiery in temperature and spice, the food is excellent, the service around dinner breaks pleasingly prompt and the atmosphere absolutely buzzing like a honey convention. There seems to be no-one left in the UK who hasn\u2019t ordered up some piri-piri something or other at the famous poultry-based restaurant chain, so join the club, get yourselves a steamed chicken addiction and a chilli tolerance, before heading back to the tournament tables to play like your tongue feels \u2013 on fire!<\/p>\n

Fun<\/h3>\n

Nightclubs<\/strong>
\nNottingham isn\u2019t just blessed with great poker and grub, the nightlife is so exceptional that many stag do\u2019s and hen do\u2019s are relocated to Nottingham for the very reason that the club scene is one of the most renowned in the land. In fact – we\u2019ll level with you here – it\u2019s much more popular for stag events, with the ratio of women to men one of the highest in the country, so if for some reason you prefer the company of the fairer sex, are sick of talking about how football or simply want a fun night out, then Nottingham of an evening is the only choice. Plenty of the clubs are within a stiletto\u2019s throw of each other, too and within those clubs exist many different kinds of music, often within the same building. Whether you like live music, electro beats or thumping bass, there really is a groove for everyone to work themselves into. Paint the town red!<\/p>\n

European Legends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest isn\u2019t just a term for the geographical flora and fauna \u2013 it\u2019s also the moniker of the legendary football club, synonymous with European Cup success\u2026 forty years ago. These days, \u2018Forest\u2019 play in the championship, but that\u2019s no bad thing, being one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world. At the time of going to press, your local football team to DTD are banging in the goals and letting them in too, so there\u2019s practically a guarantee of entertainment, and with weekend days when you\u2019re not playing poker usually rammed with other soccer lovers, you\u2019re bound to be able to find a group to head to the City Ground with. Eat my goal!<\/p>\n

Adventure<\/h3>\n

Sherwood Forest<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing like a ramble through the true natural beauty of an area, and when it comes to Nottingham, whether you\u2019re in a bunch of merry men or not, Sherwood Forest is a great place to travel to. Exploring the countryside and keeping yourself fit is a major way of improving your poker game<\/a> \u2013 not that many players take advantage of it \u2013 and the health benefits aside, you\u2019ll love the (quite literal) change of scenery. Be sure to check out the nature trails and parks around the forest, as not only is there plenty to explore off-map, there are a lot of ways of making your walk around such a large expanse of woodland one with a focus to it.<\/p>\n

Golf<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nottinghamshire is blessed with a number of well-kept and huge golf courses, not least Norwood Park, one of the small number of courses in England to be designed by an American. It truly is a magnificent course, so if you\u2019re the kind of Player that tees off instead of kicks off, then de-tilt by thumping some tiny spheres around the countryside and wear silly trousers at the same time. Combined with a cold drink (or a warm drink in November), you can go in groups and treat the day out like a trip to the horses, an excuse to wager a few notes on who can hit the holes like they bink rivers. Just be sure to remember your spiked shoes, and then change out of them again before you\u2019re back at the tables; you never know when a bad beat could leave you yelling for a \u2018Four!\u2019<\/p>\n
