The best restaurants in East Midlands

This new restaurant/take away is brilliant. All home made from sandwiches and cakes to full English breakfasts. I had the Sausage and Bacon roll, which comes with proper Lincolnshire Sausages. The roll was stuffed and extreemly tasty. The staff were bubbly and friendly. I will be returning at least once a week for my breakfast and hopefully more meals inthe future. Highly recommend. When I popped in around 10:30am the restaurant was packed, not a single seat available. I only wanted takeaway anyway and the service was fast. This new place will be one I frequently visit and so should you.....

We arrived in Bakewell for an overnight stay and was searching for some pastries to take back to our room and came across this wonderful bakery, The Cornish Bakery in Bakewell. What a wonderful pleasant visit . The person who served us is called Ayr. What a lovely young man so helpful kind and pleasant

The bread is stunning and the cakes are gorgeous. We always get a small plait wrap, rolls and a loaf. I can recommend the lunchtime rolls & they do a lunch box for children. So in summer holidays, treat the kids to a sandwich, shaped iced biscuit (the butterflies look nice). I can highly recommend this bakery

A terrific Vegetarian/Vegan eatery with a lovely selection of foods on the menu. So spoilt for choice it’s difficult to decide. The eatery is very clean and staff are delightful. Check opening times before visiting

Had a steak what was cooked perfectly, & the mac and cheese in the side was a hit. Would definitely recommend and go again.

Great food, excellent value, friendly and helpful owner and staff. Best little cafe in Lincoln. Hidden Gem. Quality of ingredients superb and far better than you’d get for a much higher price elsewhere

I am so glad this place is back to what it is. Post-covid they tried just being a deli and a grocers and the whole of lutterworth missed it. There is nowhere else for us that matches it. The food today was as good as ever, the ultimate breakfast sandwich defeated both that attempted it and we spent a few bob after browsing the fine foods shelf. We've missed you guys and whenever we are back I'm the area we love a quick visit. We did have to wait a little today (which we were warned to be fair). Negative for me today , my latte was with not particularly nice coffee and had quite an amount of coffee grounds in the bottom. This will definitely not stop us from revisiting

I visit this place regularly, the food is great, the staff are great! If you are local to Derby or Nottingham or are going to the airport, you have to swing by and grab a cake or a breakfast!

Very sorry to write this but felt compelled after such a shocking experience. We waited 20 minutes to be served, over an hour for our food and when the food came 2 out of 4 orders were wrong. We got charged £50 for very mediocre food. A small jacket potatoe with no side salad was £7 with 1 filling, plus then an extra £2 for a very small amount of cheese as an extra filling ! a friend ordered a Turkey and cranberry roll which was essentially a basic white roll with some butter and 2 pieces of packet Turkey on it and a side of cranberry to spread on herself. I’ve been before to this cafe and had a lovely up of tea / cake. I recommended it to 3 friends today and was quite embarrassed by how bad it was. They said they were short staffed, but the food quality and pricing does not add up either.

First time coming here! Just had a lovely Sunday Carvery. Choice of 3 meats all cooked perfectly and of good quality. Plenty of choice of vegetables and potatoes and a delicious swede mash and homemade cauliflower cheese. Good value for money. Will definitely be visiting here again in the New Year with the family.

Went on Friday evening and took advantage of the steak for 2 with wine offer - we upgraded and had the chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection - delicious. It was so good we decided to return for Sunday lunch - which was also great

Gemma and her Team made my Retirement Celebration with NottsHealthcare Nutrition and Dietetics Team extra special. Afternoon Teas where prepared beautifully, cakes were delicious and plenty to take home. The Tea Room has such a wonderful atmosphere and the Team is so attentive and friendly. 💎 You are all gems!

Lovely little pub in our local area. This was the first time we visited as it used to have a bad reputation but the new landlord has completely turned it around. Pool table, Clean, cheap, and dog friendly, what more could we ask for? Both our dogs got a treat to take home on their first visit too!

Wow, the food is amazing, the service outstanding and we felt like we were the only customers in a full restaurant. I would travel an hour from my home to eat here again!
