The best restaurants in East Midlands

Love this place the staff were so friendly and engaging, food good and a quirky interior well with a visit

Best authentic Indian food at great price

Went to Afrikana for my birthday lunch. The food was fantastic and our waitress, Fariha, was really quick and efficient! Will definitely be back again.

Came in for lunch on a Saturday. Great selection of beers on tap and excellent value burgers and pizzas. Our favourite spot in Buxton.

Great food and freshly baked naan bread are doing great job, recommend to any Indian food lovers

Came here for a weekday evening meal as had been recommended. The food was well presented and full of flavour. Had the soup to start followed by the duck dish- definitely enjoyed and would highly recommend. The only downside to our experience was the older lady who me and my partner believe may be manager? We were appalled the way she was bossing and commanding colleagues around (no manners) whilst she was doing nothing herself most of the night. Other than that service from the waitress was great and would love to return for a pie and wine evening.

We only came here for dinners at the Cookhouse restaurant as our hotel down the road was rubbish. Excellent food.

We pre-booked a table at The Lavender tea rooms for a traditional afternoon tea. The food was delicious and huge portions - we each had our own cake stand. We were unable to eat it all but we're provided with boxes to take the cakes home in. My daughter has a nut allergy and was catered for with a wonderful selection of different cakes. The tea room is in a courtyard with an outdoor seating area which would be wonderful in the warmer weather. The tea room was extremely popular while we were there with a steady stream of guests, they also sell cakes to take away. Thank you to Tony and his staff who were very attentive, we will definitely return.

Great choice of beers and wine's. ..Great outside seating area in the summer...Will be back....

Food was great. Wine was lovely. Atmosphere excellent. I rated four stars because when paying we were told by the waitress there is a service charge added to the bill and did we want to remove it. It's not ideal having the waitress ask if you want to remove their tip from the bill. It is not nice feeling having the pressure of someone asking if you want to remove their tip or not.

Delicious and hot and exactly as ordered also before it was due

We stayed here for three nights. Met up here with friends as we live a long distance from other. Agree with other reviews in that the hotel is very tired, rather scruffy and in need of a complete refurbishment !! However also agree with other reviews that the staff and food were very good indeed!! Would stay again.

I had visited here last year with a friend when we were staying in Baslow for the Christmas Markets at Chatsworth. We loved our meal so much last year that we booked to come again. So glad we did. Delicious and imaginative food (especially when you're a veggie!). Amazing staff and lovely ambience. Great evening from start to finish. Thanks so much

We have dined here many times and it never fails to disappoint. The lunch menu was delicious and reasonably priced and the staff were all very friendly and attentive.

Great food and service here- I had the sausage and mash but when my mum got the steak- it was slightly undercooked so I wouldn't recommend that... But of course the desert was FAB!!!!!! The texture of them all were great and I love the selection! The atmosphere is average because of the car park- otherwise, great!!
