The best restaurants in East Midlands

We thoroughly enjoyed our Lunch experience at The Rising cafe. We experienced Lovely service , a great atmosphere in a quirky venue . The menu is both varied & Interesting. The food was cooked to order using fresh ingredients, which was super tasty & Plentiful. A great value & friendly place to be. I will visit again & would recommend!

My favourite place for afternoon tea. Been several times and always had a wonderful experience. I’d recommend it to anyone.

We went on a Friday night and had the teppenyaki for dinner for a family of five. We chose several dishes from the deluxe set menu and from the children’s menu. Can I just say Katana is a great and fun spot especially for a birthday or special event. We had Santos as our server/chef. He was excellent and made us all giggle, especially the children. Definitely worth visiting. We left with full bellies and the mains were very delicious, especially the teriyaki salmon.

The white hart has become the regular pick for most of our family occasions, with good reason. The food is exceptional and the banter is world class. Well be back again soon!

This was a 50th Birthday celebration meal and some of the tasting courses were disappointing. We had bbq lettuce which just tasted burnt and very strong tasting trout with cucumber which was terrible. It was very expensive for what we received. We had mentioned upon booking that it was a 50th Birthday and all they did was stick a candle in a blob of ice cream, not a Happy Birthday written in chocolate or even a strawberry to make it look special.

We have visited Aladin's and also had take aways - they never fail to provide excellent food. The dishes are flavoursome, the meat is tender and moist. The onion bhaji's are the best I've ever tasted. Service in the restaurant was fantastic, attentive, friendly & prompt. The delivery service is also prompt and the food has always been delivered still hot. The food is reasonably priced and the portion sizes are good. We would highly recommend Aladins which is now our go to curry house.

Fantastic food and service as usual, we have become regular diners here, the lovely Ria was very professional and was very welcoming thanks again to all the team !

We went for dinner last night, with another couple. My wife had the belly pork....it was delicious and the crackling was so lovely. Our friends had sreak, cooked to perfection. I had the Mexican chicken salad.....THE best salad I have ever had. Nice staff. The owner was lovely, and came to chat. If you're in the area, you must try the Barley Mow.

One of the areas best places to eat. Jayne and her team go the extra mile to make your visit relaxing and enjoyable. We came here for our work Christmas/ end of season meal and all of us throughly enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere. We will definitely be back in the New Year it’s one of our favourite places to eat. Thank you so much. 😊

A great choice of breakfast, it was great value and really good quality. Highly recommend and will be returning. Poached eggs perfectly cooked too!

Always loved the lamb doner kebab at AJ’s when I was a student in Leicester uni. Keep up the great work!

We ordered a afternoon lunch selection for 25 people at our baby shower in Lincoln. The owner Dez could not do enough to meet our requests. He delivered a fantastic spread. The selection of sandwiches were delicious and he catered for everyone’s dietary needs. His homemade sausages and his scones with cream and strawberries went down a storm. They delivered to our venue, which took away all the added stress. Thanks again for delivering us a lovely spread on our special day. We will definitely use Margaret’s Tea Rooms a again.

The service and ambience are delightful. The food was truly mouthwatering. And the pistachio white chocolate was out of this world!

We ordered the scrumptious afternoon tea for two for collection and it was incredible. Not only were the treats amazingly tasty, but the service was excellent and very friendly. Thanks you!!!
