The best restaurants in East Midlands

Booked a table for my husbands birthday on recommendation as we are not from the area...Very disappointed!!!...Ordered starters and my sons arrived with a hair in!!!...Got sent back to be replaced but we had all finished our starters when his arrived.... My husbands main arrived with fries that were cold!!...Again sent back.. Member of staff came to the table when the new fries had been replaced for HOT ones to ask if he was now enjoying his fries!!!!...RUDE.. We had planned on having sweets as when we booked they had said his sweet would come out with a candle etc but given the above we decided to pay and leave as the evening had been very disappointing and ruined...I did speak with the manager who apologised and spoke with the chef who waivered our drinks and same Member of staff (who asked about fries,informed us that the starter with the hair in had been taken off the bill!!!...definitely needs a course in customer service as was made to feel by her that we had no reason to complain....Our bill wasn't cheap!!!)....I don't write reviews but felt compelled to as a birthday meal was ruined

Had a wonderful day today at the Forge. Food was delicious, as ever. Staff were very responsive and attentive, even sang happy birthday when they brought the cake out. Everyone enjoyed. I would definitely recommend if you want a good meal and pleasant surroundings, with staff that care and go the extra mile. Thank you to everyone at the Foge Inn

No walk in availability on Sundays

Lovely place staff friendly really nice inside. Only complaint had to wait for a long time to be served

Me and my husband visited here and felt like we were on holiday in Turkey . Definitely recommended!!

Friendly professional staff. Mini fish chips and peas were spot on for £7. Perfect to watch the fireworks with. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous short break. Food was amazing, vibe was chilled, room was gorgeous. Will definitely be back

Lovely welcome and decent pint.👍🤗

Went for meal with friends and did not disappoint. Real Italian food at a reasonable price. Meals are quite large so only had a main but the starters also looked delicious (also large). Garlic bread was the best I've ever tasted. Belissimo

Central Location for the City. Price point spot on, and very helpful and friendly staff. Would happily stay here again. I do like to leave an honest review, and the only negatives I could think of - It's quite a steep staircase up to the rooms, those not fully mobile could struggle. The ensuite, although being spotless and having a bath, lacks a shower.

Even though the restaurant was full and we booked late they made room and we had great service and good food

Food is always spot on, it can't be faulted. Staff are very polite and professional. The only drown side is that a surcharge is applied to the bill which can add a significant increase, so be aware.

Love Zamanis and the Wine Bar! The ONLY place in the town to have consistently good food in a great atmosphere. The outside courtyard is lovely in the summer and when we don’t fancy a full meal in the restaurant we love snuggling up in the wine bar with pizza & bottle of wine. Whether with friends or a couple, it’s just such a lovely place to be 🥰

Asked for a mild chicken tikka masala and Bombay potato,was unable to eat as it was too hot. Waiter didn’t understand a simple drinks order and the drinks bill wasn’t able to be broken down even tho it was for 4 people and over £120 and only one person drinking alcohol.tried to speak to the manager and he wasn’t Interested.

Beautiful food that, that stimulates the taste buds, reasonable price and splendid service.
