The best restaurants in East Midlands

Best fish & chips ever. I won't eat fish & chips from anywhere else. Staff are nice, always queues outside.

Love this place. Great food and service. Recommend lamb shank.

Great food + hospitality at a very reasonable price

Absolutely sublime food, cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. Highly recommend by a couple of curry heads 👌

I loved the decor the 1930/40s music . Fabulous service , clean and politeness from the minute you walk through the door till you leave . Home made food and cooked superbly. Opposite the Theatre Royal so a good place to eat before show or after show when a matinee is on. Totally a no 1 place for food and drink

Always a warm welcome, great service and excellent food,Fillet steak cooked to perfection and The risotto was beautiful...we've also been for Sunday Lunch, do advise to book as very busy,NOT TO BE MISSED...my favourite place for food.....

We had our wedding day at beauvale priory and I can honestly say it was our best day ever. The attention to detail and staff were second to none. We had lasagne and salad and pizza for our meal and freshly made on site. In the evening we had chip cobs and freshly homemade artisan doughnuts everything made by Cameron on site. Thanks Tony for wearing your kilt, thanks Ann for telling me to slow down and take every minute in, thanks Lauren and Troy for all your advice when we made the booking and changing a few things last minute. Highly recommended ❤️ thank you so much and we wish we could do it all again x

shanai, milana and nathan are amazing workers they are very helpful and kind and helped me pick out what i wanted to eat because it was my first time

Had another delicious meal at Perkins when we visited last week. It doesn’t matter what you choose from the menu you know that you will never be disappointed. Staff, as always, were friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend a visit. We’ll be back for our anniversary next year, if not before.

I would highly recommend this restaurant the staff are very polite and friendly, the food is absolutely delicious and presented with care. The prices are very reasonable would definitely go again

I have been to the Frustrated Chef a handful of times now and each time I have the same experience. The food is amazing! So delicious and the portion sizes are great. Such great value for money and for the food I would return again and again. The Goats Cheese Parcels, Pork Belly and Croquettes are amazing. I also love the crispy fried cod and churros!!! However the staff are not very welcoming or attentive. There have been several visits where the staff let the whole experience down and if the food wasn’t as good as it is, I wouldn’t return. The most recent experience I can recall is that we had a table booked for 4 people on a Friday evening. 3 of us arrived and 1 was joining a little later. The staff left us without taking a drinks order for around 30 minutes until the friend arrived. Working in hospitality myself, it’s courteous to come over to the table and ask if we would like anything whilst we wait (even a jug of tap water would do!) or if we would like to wait until the friend arrives to order. The staff generally are quite slow and don’t seem to be very welcoming at all, standing behind the bar all evening. I would return and recommend The Frustrated Chef to people for the food but not the service.

Just such a lovely vegan burger and the fries are to die for xxx

Really great lunch. All of our food was top notch and made with quality local ingredients. One of our party wanted to tweak what his burger came with and they were very accommodating. Full table service was a nice touch and the staff were all great.

Great food from an independent local chain at decent prices. A bit of a hidden gem - doesn't look like it's anything special from the outside but it's a lovely restaurant. I had beef yaki udon and some salmon sushi rolls, both were delicious.

Friendly atmosphere, great food and staff are welcoming 🙂
