The best restaurants in East Midlands

Great food, fab taste and good portion size. Definitely order from Desi again.

We ate at The Castle Inn with my daughter who is coeliac. We always check in advance that places understand that cross contamination is the danger - cooking in a kitchen where there has been gluten on a surface or in a shared container. For coeliacs for example, you cannot cook chips in fat that has had any glutened batter in it. You have to have fresh fat in a cleaned fryer. We have discovered that many high end restaurants like The Ivy don't manage to offer this so it was so heartening that The Castle was meticulous about her needs. When the menu didn't offer an option she could pick, they found something different, making her cheesy mashed potato from scratch. It was delicious and we are so grateful for their kindness. We shall definitely eat here again when we're in the area.

We dined here for an occasion and Cleaver & Wake went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. I want to extend my thanks especially to Jemimah, who we were particularly impressed with as her service was outstanding. She made us feel very at home there with her warming personality which stood out and saw to any needs we had, including dietary requirements. The food was fantastic - from the complimentary croutons and truffle butter to the basil sorbet. A stand out dish was the pumpkin risotto. We had the Shiraz wine between us, which was very good. All round, a great evening and an excellent fine dining experience - we will be back for more!

Fantastic food, brilliant service. The food is always amazing, the portions are just right and the owners and staff are just excellent

Enjoyed a lovely Christmas day lunch here, food was superb fautlessly cooked, staff attentive and friendly. The cosy feel of a traditional inn a short walk from the centre of town. As I was flying solo this time the welcome and friendly inclusion made my day complete. Thank you Alex and your team this is far and away the best place to eat within a 20mile radius. I might well see you for a Sunday lunch before I move "up north" !

We offer walk from Sutton on Sea to this little gem by the beach in Mablethorpe.It serves the best lattes and best gluten free bacon cobs ever.My husband isn't gluten free and he enjoys his bacon or sausages cobs too.Well done. PS I had a gluten free scone the other week and it was delicious

Best fish and chips in Kettering probably in Northamptonshire.

Took my family here on a visit to Leicester, food was very nice but there was no atmosphere and the toilets were so bad we had to go somewhere else to take our children to use the toilet which is a shame as the food was good and the young lad behind the counter was friendly and helpful

Amazing Festive Sunday lunch today. I had the nut toast which was scrumptious and my partner had the pork loin dinner which included his favourite- crispy crackling. Vegetables were cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puddings were the best I’ve had outside of Yorkshire! Staff are super friendly and helpful and the fire was roaring which kept us feeling cosy. We keep coming back and we will definitely go back again. Thank you for a fantastic lunch today.

Called in on Wednesday 5pm to try out. Told it was booked by some group and that we could not be served. Off the list frm now on for me and my friends. Dissapointed!

The service was excellent and the food was incredibly tasty, stumbled upon this place when driving down Alandale Road and will 1000% be back!
