Alphanets internet cafe (Nottingham)

Advantages: Well Established
Disadvantages: Crime

...I used to live in Nottingham myself, on Mapperley Road just outside the city centre! It's actually classed as Mapperley Park the area although its around five to ten minutes from the city itself! I moved there with an X - girlfriend in October 2003, as she was studying physchology at Nottingham Univertsity. Ok, people told me I was mad and it was a crazy place to go especially at the young age of 18. I ignored them and hopped on the train and started living in a shared house near to Nottingham uni, on Derby Road.

...if you should need to use an internet cafe then i could highly recommend debenhams on market st manchester. if you make a purchasefrom the cafe such as a cake or drink then you get 30 minutes free internet time. the teminals are excellent, all flat screen and the speed is excellent.the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.the place is smoke free, light and airy,it is a really nice environmant to spemd time in. it can get busy at lunch times but i have never had to wait for more than a few minutes for a terminal,infact since getting my own pc i have rather missed going in there!...

...The Crocus Café and Bakery is a bit of an eatery with a difference. Originally set up as a fair-trade café within an old church hall, the café moved to its Church Square location in Lenton, just outside the centre of Nottingham, in Autumn 2004. What makes it quite special is that it is a not for profit organisation. It is a community based café, and while originally it was set up with students, it now appeals to both students and non students alike. What is even more unique about the Crocus is that it is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, who can volunteer for 2 hours or more a week. It is increasingly difficult to find any kind of eating establishment that relies on local suppliers, as the big chains snap up most of the market and provide the same food at the same cost, whether you are in Lands End or Lybster.
