The best restaurants in East Midlands

This is the best fish and chip shop in the land. The owner is entertaining, and everyone is very friendly. Everything is freshly cooked.

Fantastic service, amazing staff and great wine!

My husband and I visited this Lovely old Pub today for lunch we both decided on the beer battered fish fingers on ciabatta with homemade tartare sauce and chips, This is probably one of the best ever fish finger butty either of us have had and also a very reasonable price and would definitely go back and eat there again

Eastern Dream is an absolute hidden gem! The pad thai stood out with its perfect blend of flavors, offering a wonderful balance of sweet, tangy, and savory in every bite. The Chicken Lollipops were irresistibly crispy on the outside and tender inside, making for the perfect appetiser. The Sushi was fresh and beautifully presented. Eastern Dream truly delivers a memorable dining experience that I can’t wait to revisit!!!

Lovely night sat in front of the fire eating the probably the best rump steak I’ve ever had . Would recommend

Amazing staff who did not flinch when 18 of us turned up for breakfast. Natalie, Oomar and Rukiya all went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. All ordered different breakfasts and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Kids enjoyed the village feel and the stream on the street. Would defo go again

We ordered 2 x chicken sizzlers and 1 x mixed grill all the food apart from the chicken was spot on, the chicken was off, it really stunk. I demanded a refund, the owner asked me to drive back and give him the food from my black bin,DO NOT EAT THE CHICKEN FROM HERE.... for the service if the young girl could get off her phone would be a great help, I'm stood waiting to collect and she is watching Insta... we have used Sizzlers a few times, we won't again. Reported to Enviromental health!

Come with a 4x4 else tracked vehicle, saw people getting stuck on the road we were sent down. One way in one way out, same with single tracked roads to get to the venue. Plan ahead.

A bit weird that this place opens at 9 am on Sunday but you cannot order food until 9:30am. Having said that, the brunch was well worth the wait and the coffees where nice. Staff are okay, could just smile and appear a bit more friendly.

Staff miserable unless you are a ‘regular’. Not child friendly despite there being a huge play park outside. Don’t go if you’ve got kids unless you want them to be told off for being kids. Saw the manager tell a child off and not allow her to go to the customer toilets despite her parents being a paying customer and buying loads of food and drinks for the family. I know this seems absolutely outrageously not true, but it is. Response welcome from the manager

Honestly one of the nicest cappuccinos I’ve ever had. So smooth. Sadly I was on the go so didn’t get to stay or try anything else - just saw it was the highest scoring on Google and popped in for 2mins but from what I could see it looked really quaint. Support your brilliant independents!

I was in the Peak District on a walking break and booked an evening meal on the recommendation of a friend. I visited early in the evening on a Wednesday. The building has been tastefully refurbished while retaining the character of the original. I was pleased to see they had draught beer on tap and offered a 'flight' of beer, enabling you to sample all three. I was seated upstairs. The service throughout was exemplary—just the right balance of friendliness and professional courtesy. The food was outstanding, and all my courses were excellent. I even had the unexpected pleasure of chatting with the chef, who overheard a question of mine to the staff. I will certainly return next time I'm in the Peaks. Highly recommended.

Popped into the cafe with my husband today. Both of us asked for sandwiches not on the menu - the waitress was so lovely, as was the chef, totally accommodated us. Sandwiches were delicious, generous portion and lovely ingredients. Sadly we had to rush off due to an appointment but will definitely be back!

Lovely little place and great staff

The food here is superb, we stayed for 3 nights and at no point were we disappointed with any of the courses. The tasting menu was fabulous with all the different flavours yet flowed together to make something really special. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble, even when we managed to tip a glass of port over it was handled with swiftness and gentle humour. The service is excellent without being intrusive. Highly recommend
