Doughnotts on King Street, Nottingham. As well as High Road, Beeston, Gordon Road, West Bridgford, Giltbrook Retail Park, Giltbrook, Nottingham and East Midlands Designer Outlet, Mansfield Road, Alfreton. The BBC said: "This takeaway and café dispenses elaborately-topped, handmade doughnuts – light, moist, clear in their flavours – that will convert any doughnut doubter. Creations such as the toffee-filled Billionaire (topped with shortbread and caramel) or Old Skool (caramel fudge icing, shortbread, toffee and white chocolate) will please big and little kids alike."

15. Larwood & Voce - casual dining, child-friendly
Larwood & Voce on Fox Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham. The BBC said: "Like its outlying sister venues, the Wollaton and the Lord Nelson, this West Bridgford gastropub – which abuts Trent Bridge cricket ground – has a formidable rep for its Sunday roasts. Sunday lunch mains from £14." Photo: Google

16. Malt Cross - casual dining, cheap eats
The Malt Cross on St James's Street, Nottingham. The BBC said: "Originally a Victorian music hall, and retaining much of its period detail, this extraordinary building is now a café bar, arts centre and independent business hub. It’s run by a coalition of church charities, but the well-stocked bar will allay any fears of piety. Meals from £11." Photo: Google
