The best restaurants in East Midlands

Perfect for a bite and a drink before going to Trent Bridge for a day of cricket.

Had a lovely visit, was served by Sharne. Service and food was amazing! Definitely recommend! Such a clean restaurant!

Everything tastes fresh and food is delicious, even the salad tastes really good! 10/10

This is a great pizza spot, loads of options, had a parmigiana but with smoked fior di latte. It is an absolutely exquisite gift from God and should be appreciated. 31 1 star reviews = 31 people who are wrong, absolute gem 100/10

After their recent takeover it was our first visit. Caitlin welcomed us and we were seated and provided with drinks promptly and efficiently The food menus look great with definitely something listed for everyone. We hope to see you again soon.

We read the reviews. We went along and tried. We were not disappointed ! My goodness ! We had starters a scotch egg and belly pork.. and thought wow were off to a great start these were no ordinary dishes. Then a chateaubriand. . I am not sure there are words fantastical enough to credit this dish with. And the peppercorn sauce mmmm... onto desert with a lemon cheesecake.. with a delicious candid peel. .. OK We thought, but the coffee that's got to be a regular cappuccino hasn't it? No, not in the slightest. Every single thing put in front of us was tantalising tasty. What a fantastic find. Sshhsh 🤫. don't tell everyone. 😊

Mahmima is really nice friendly etc

Sunday 11th August 2024, after visiting Melbourne Hall, we all strolled up the high street to go to the ‘Harpurs of Melbourne’ restaurant. We had a table booked here at 5.00 pm for dinner. We entered within and were shown to our table in the restaurant. We looked at the small but interesting menu and made our choices and ordered our drinks. Whilst we were waiting for our food, we started catching up on news and gossip and there was plenty to talk about. The food arrived piping hot and was very well presented. My husbandhad the ‘Sunday Roast Beef dinner, Janet has the Pork Belly with apricot stuffing and I had the Lemon & Thyme Chicken, all meals came with Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes and was served with a nice selection of vegetables (anise carrots, cauliflower cheese and a green vegetable selection), accompanied with a jug of gravy and cranberry sauce. We washed all this lovely food down with a pint of IPA bitter for My husband, a pint of strawberry and lime cider for me and a pint of larger for Janet. We all had desserts; My husband had the lemon posset with blackberry compote and meringue, which he said was very nice. Janet had the chocolate brownie ice cream sundae, which she said was delicious. I had the white chocolate delice with raspberry sorbet, which was lovely and light and the perfect finish to my meal. The bill for the meal was very reasonable. We would certainly recommend Harpurs if you are in the area.

Our food was excellent, especially the steak! Staff were very polite and not intrusive. However, the noise levels due to poor acoustics were awful, firstly we had a group of 4 next to us, who were over loud. Then a table for 8 came in and seemed to be shouting the whole time. Interesting another couple who spoke to us on the way out, also mentioned the noise level was high and wouldn’t return.

The menu is interesting, proper French food. The execution is good, but somehow lacking a bit. Nothing in particular, just needs a touch of something. Otherwise, faultless, great wine and rather good dessert. Would try again.

I ordered lamb rogan josh wow meat is hard and chewy not tender I really think it is beef not lamb all tough rice nice but your not paying for rice. my husband had chicken but also chewy absolutely vile 😫

Best place for coffee in Grantham.

After a good 4 hours walking with our 3 dogs we stumbled upon The Grouse Inn So we decided to have dinner and drinks. We went in the front door to be met by a sign saying 'no dogs or children, use back door' Went to the back door to be met by a sign saying 'no dogs or children' So i asked the waiter where I could go, he said I couldn't take my dogs inside as they had a big table of people in 'the dog friendly bit' Luckily it wasn't raining so we sat out side. I ordered my drinks and asked about food. Was told I needed to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2pm, so we rushed our order to the barman. The bloke behind me was told he needed to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2:15 😱 Believe it or not, the bloke behind him was told to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2:30. 😂 Anyway, my fish and chips tasted like they'd been warned up most of the day, no matter how much tartar sauce, salt, vinegar and ketchup I put on, it was absolutely tasteless. There wasn't any check back to see if the food was ok. The only time the came back was to clear the table. 1st and last time eating at The Grouse Inn The only good thing about the place was the barman was too busy telling everyone to hurry up with their orders, he forgot to charge me for 2 pints of San Miguel. 😀😀👍🏻

They cooked a better steak than Millet and Carter. At a fraction of the cost. Service was excellent and friendly. Ribs were great and my Dad thoroughly enjoyed this start to his night out. The £10 lunch time deal is amazing too

Great food, big portions, fabulous staff very friendly
