The best restaurants in East Midlands

Was OK but it used to be excelle t value.

we had a takeaway last friday and were very impressed by the food decent portion size and very reasonable prices the phoenix should take note their food is good but pricey in comparison and smaller portions

Lovely service and overall dining experience. Parents came down to see me from Scotland and enjoyed the food immensely. In particular the steak, which I was told "melted" in my mother's mouth. Will definitely be going back as staff were very friendly and accomodating.

This was our first time here. A really lovely spot with extremely friendly staff. We had the small fry, sausage baguette and tea and all was very tasty. Great to visit somewhere a bit different. We will definitely return.

Had afternoon tea here for a birthday treat with friends. It is a proper little tea room set I a beautiful building and garden. We had lovely food. Staff were friendly but, I was asked to pay halfway through the tea, which I found annoying as it was unnecessary and embarrassed my friend whose birthday we were celebrating.

Good food, good service. Probably the best Chinese takeaway in the West End of Leicester. Need to get a card machine.

Thoroughly enjoy every trip we have to red willow! It’s one of our regular spots and it’s always super friendly and welcoming, often have live music on, quizzes etc that are advertised on their social media. The selection of drinks is extensive and there is something for everyone! The staff are always super friendly and accommodating and it’s always kept lovely and clean. Can’t fault it at all, will keep going back 😊🩷

Nothing special, food and be on and off, and on occasion had not been fresh! Probably previous night left overs. I had noticed the curry sauce is extremely thick when it wasn't originally. They need to improve what they do as standards appear to be slipping. The place needs fresh decor as well. It's ok but it's not been great recently.

Service was fast and the food was aweaome

A wonderful cafe in a wonderful setting. Amazing food, lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and a smart new look following its refurbishment. Best breakfast around!

By Far the best Chinese in Melton. I've been going for years and never had a problem. Great food and generous portions.

I went with my family and tried chicken burger, chicken crispy wrap, chicken barbecue wrap, and chips. Too much sauce on all sandwiches, I think they used all types of sauce on every sandwich. We didn't like how they made chips as well. None of the food was eaten, and the whole family got severe gastritis. I wouldn't recommend it.

It’s a whole different experience of being in there

I have lived in Derbyshire all my life and of course, this is a case of ‘what’s on your doorstep’ you hardly ever consider! My friend arranged for myself and another friend to meet up and discuss all things countryside and veer onto other topics, at a rate of 19 to the dozen - as you do when you have not met up for a while. Walking into this little place was like stepping into a storybook … it has an astonishing atmosphere - I felt I was walking into somewhere I’d been before and it was so wonderful and cozy. We ate … the food was gorgeous and I don’t know who has put four ££££ signs at the top, but I can tell you, it’s not expensive whatsoever. I had a lovely posh toastie, with goat’s cheese, sweet pepper, rocket and tomato chutney and it was delicious … certainly filled a gap (was quite tempered with pudding). What was so nice was the fact that the area we were in was really snug and you had no choice but to say ‘Hello’ to those around you … so if you’re a miserable sod, this isn’t the place for you. I blummin loved it and will definitely go again!

I don't usually bother to write reviews, however, we went to get fish & chips, as most of the reviews were outstanding. To say I was dissapointed is an understatement. My fish(£6.50) was almost all batter. Shocking, easily the worst fish & chip meal I have ever had. Should have gone to the chippy up the road, they had a long queue.
