Because of the friendly, accommodating and warm welcome and service by the staff and owners, customers come and come back to The Humble Cat. It’s cozy with a really calming and lovely ambience.

You might have heard of this store, or you might have not. You might have because it has numerous branches. In Nottingham alone, it currently has more than 20 operating stores. What is it? It’s the Birds Bakery.
Why Birds? What comes to mind first is the birds that fly, for real. Birds here, however, pertain to the owners of this long-running bakery. Frank, Thomas and Reginald Bird are brothers who established this business in 1919. Since then, it has become a household name and a famous brand not just in the city, but around the world.

Birds Bakery is indeed Nottingham-born as its first ever shop was built and opened in Nottingham City Centre.
It wouldn’t have been lasting and shining this long if it does not have outstanding creations. Of course, Birds Bakery values utmost freshness! Products are freshly made daily. Many ingredients are used, and many instruments too, but they always ensure safety when it comes to every process of their production.
Customers love this place for its quietness where you can spend a rejuvenating time with yourself or a nice time with your loved ones. They have custom made breakfast which everybody loves!
Their menu includes newly baked loaves, hot pork rolls, cobs, doughnuts, bacon rolls, cheese scones, sausage rolls, custard tarts, delish sandwiches and flavorful cakes! Are you already drooling?
Busy but helpful staff are always in. They keep the bakery neat and presentable.
