The best restaurants in East Midlands

Honestly the best curry I've had, can't stop coming back. Food is really well spiced and seasoned. Amazing service

Popped in while my curry was cooking. Ordered a Camden pale, unfortunately it was a bit off. Bar chap was quick to try and rectify and happily swapped for another beverage which was fine. Very pleasant place and had a nice chat with a regular. Will be back

A nice pub to have a drink and watch football, well recommended 👌.

Reopened following bereavement (Nov '23), Kegworth's tucked-round-the-back traditional old-fashioned pub. Cask ales at time of visit: Taylor's'"Landlord" , Marston's "Pedigree" and Castle Rock's "Harvest Pale".

Always quality food and service.

Great pub,friendly, nice atmosphere, good food,dog friendly 👍

I’m not usually one to leave negative reviews, and it’s upsetting I feel the need to do so for such a special place. My partner and I came here for our first date two years ago. We decided, whilst I’m back in the city, to revisit. We had excellent service from the young lady with glasses, who helped us decide on our drinks. We had two cocktails, and had a third round, but my partner, as he was standing up, knocked half of my third drink over. He apologised profusely and helped clean it up, and we decided to order one more round before taking our leave. The lady who seemed to be in charge for the night, a blond lady with very pretty makeup, was very rude to my partner when he tried to order at the counter, and said we had had enough and should leave. We were quite shocked by this, as we knew we were not disruptive, and we hadn’t visited anywhere else before coming here. In fact we only came out to visit cank street. In fact, the entire place was empty aside from another couple. I think they wanted us to leave so they could close, as immediately after we left, the same lady came out to start putting tables away, but ultimately she could have been much nicer about it as my partner was very apologetic. She was also quite rude, as I noticed outside she began dancing in the window when I made eye contact with her (my partner was telling me at the time that he had been cut off by her, and that the lady with glasses seemed quite awkward with the whole ordeal). We had a very special spot in our hearts for this place, but I do feel this service ruined the experience of it. We decided to have our final drink next door at 45 west instead, and their cocktails are just as good. We were going to ask their names, but figured we’d probably get fake ones. It’s a shame really. This was our go to for big dates and celebrations, but it’s pretty dead to us now :(

From walking in, to leave you are very well looked after. Food excellent, only issue was which meal to have. Spent nearly twos in total up at Upton Hall. I wish it was my local. Special mention to the wonderful, well behaved dog, sorry forgot name.

First time here, it's bigger on the inside.... just like the Tardis!!

Very busy and rightly so superb local cafe/ bakery.ALL rolls freshly made/excellent value and absolutely fabulous. Lovely friendly staff..It worth travelling 5 miles just to get something!

Clean and efficient service with friendly staff who make you feel welcome. I ordered the chicken meat, chips, and salad—it was fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. COD Fish and Chips is definitely a spot I’d recommend for a quick, tasty meal.

A great find, Splendid food with generous portions. Extensive menu with tempting specials. Will be back. Unfortunately did go back with family a few months later on a Saturday night. couldn't have been a more different experience. Waiting time for food was outrageous. Food was a shocking standard for the price, at no time were we asked how our food was by serving staff. make no mistake this establishment was not full and more than enough staff were working. I have no clue how a place can be so different on a second visit. worse of all was the fact we had family members from out of town with us, it was embarrassing. "Have now revised my stars for this review"

Delicious delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommend the gimbap, sundubu jjigae, and dolsot bibimbap. Upkeep of the toilet can use a bit more care but this isn’t a major critique.

Delicious food, amazing staff, they brought out a happy birthday tiramisu for my friend and it was really special. Highly recommend

We have been here a few times now and the staff are always so professional and friendly, one young lad on the front (unfortunately I forgot his name) always seems upbeat and happy to be at work. The chips are great quality and excellent value for money and the food is consistently good throughout the week. Highly recommend going here and it’s so nice to actually find a decent chip shop locally again.
