The best restaurants in East Midlands

Absolutely spot on breakfast. Never been before but we were in the area and fancied a breakfast. Came out really hot and fresh and most importantly, the brew was spot on too! Will definitely come again!

Booked here for my friends Birthday 🎁 We took our dogs. The staff are very welcoming & friendly, great food, great service! Lovely atmosphere too. Clean & tastefully decorated. The lamb Sunday roast was absolutely delicious 😋. My friend enjoyed their Sausage Roast too ☺️

Let’s start with positives - lady working behind the bar was very friendly and talked us through all available drink. Place is bizarre, cluttered and just doesn’t make sense. With each minute that we spent in the beer garden me and my partner noticed more and more ridiculous things. Beer garden is interesting combination of storage area, £1 shop and a skip - you won’t find two identical tables or chairs, we sat next to cardboard cage and a big bin, above - bird hut, behind me and a metal cow which didn’t make sense either. Kitchen doors were constantly open which is fair with extreme temperatures but we have seen a staff member coming out and grabbing vegetables from garden storage box which was placed in customer areas, box wasn’t closed, secured and it wasn’t a refrigeration unit, anyone could access it at any point. And in 30 degree temperature weather those vegetables were not healthy! During 45 minutes visit not a single table was cleaned and nobody checked on customers dining and drinking outside. Overall I recommend this place if you like weird things!

It’s now Meaks. Some serious efficiency improvement would benefit this pleasant cafe. For example, customers queue at the front desk to place their order, but this person (singular) also makes the tea/coffee. So the queue gets priority but at the direct expense of the serving of tea/coffee. There has to be a better way of managing this. We waited 20 mins for a pot of tea for 2. It’s not that difficult. Tea Pot. Hot water & tea bag. Cups. Saucers. Milk. How difficult is that. I could make it in the time it’s taken to write this. Mentioned it to a waitress and the reply was ‘we’re busy’. Yes I could see that. This is not a complaint about the staff. It’s an observation on inbuilt inefficiency. Which could and should be sorted.

Very polite and efficient service. Excellent Thai menu. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend Boston Spice.

We regularly use this restaurant for our takeaways. They always arrive quickly, tasty, full of flavour, hot and with a friendly driver. On occasions we’ve eaten in and the service is excellent with friendly attentive staff. Highly recommend

Just had a wonderful meal here on the off chance. Past this place hundreds of times but never thought to go in for a meal. I had the Chicken Liver Pate and my husband had Fish and Chips. We both had the Blueberry and Almond Tart for desert. Food was absolutely delicious and great value, will definitely be back!

Very friendly owners. Welcoming. Nice, homely, down-to -earth, traditional pub. Excellent home-made food - generous portions. Great value for money. Real fire in the winter months. Recommended.

Best place to take dogs 🐕 they are always welcome.

Really lovely food, man who delivered was very polite too.

Good food and good entertainment

Sorry but we found the food average and overpriced. Was looking for a ham sandwich but not on menu. The only 4 choices on there were nearly £10 each! Plumped for lemon drizzle cake and was brought Victoria sandwich. Was told by waitress that they’d run out of the chocolate cake we’d ordered but we hadn’t ordered any , only brought us 2 of the 3 drinks we had ordered and then the tiniest pot of ice cream for £4. Asked if we could have a glass of water and it was Luke warm. Not the best of experiences I’m afraid. Nice scones though

We visited here for breakfast after a very busy morning packing up our tent to go home after a stay at a nearby campsite (extra points for being dog friendly!). All very hungry there were plenty of options to choose from and even the option to build your own breakfast which was great for my daughter who wouldn’t eat a full breakfast but would still like certain items! The staff were lovely, the service was quick and the food was delicious! Extra shoutout to the iced latte and the big buts breakfast. It was amazing! We will definitely be returning when we are back in Anderby. Thank you!

Very helpful frendley staff good service would recommend to all

Popped in today with a work colleague on the off chance of getting a bit of lunch - lovely pub immaculately presented with great hospitality/service from Jack. Excellent food menu offer as a pub should have, good value too - we had fishcakes, one with chips and one with salad, well presented and very tasty. Excellent coffee as well - highly recommended.
