The installment, which appeared on Mansfield Road, has created a stir amongst the student population, with the owner of the machine saying it's one of many he hopes to open around the city in the coming months.
Owner Will Bellamy, co-partner of Investment FX Ltd, said it was one of several vending shops he hopes to open around the city over the coming months.
He told the Nottingham Post: "I feel that Pot Noodle gives people choice and it's not going to change a lot; people can still get a burger or kebab but this gives a bit of choice.
The news was broken by Steven Sheil, Nottingham resident and horror film writer.
