The best restaurants in East Midlands

Excellent service from the 2 students & lady in charge of cafe plus attached is a lovely gift shop. The students did very well serving me & the ladies helped me with the postcards. Lovely big shop.

Welcoming; Great Choice of Food at very reasonable prices. Well presented and good quality food with a super atmosphere and decor that takes you back.

The nicest meal I've had out for quite some time. Really made to feel welcome by all the staff on the evening and actually felt like we were on holiday! Well done, we'll be back soon! Thank you

First time visiting this little place, it looks tiny on the outside but really spacious on the inside, lovely feel to the place, warm and friendly and the décor was particularly splendid, not what you expect from the outside. I was passing through very quickly and I really needed a coffee and a quick snack, I was greeted and seated with friendliness, the coffee was amazing, piping hot and much nicer than the chain coffee shops! I had a slice of cake, and this gave me the sugar hit I needed, it was delicious and left me wanting another slice but then is any slice of cake big enough? Perhaps I was just having a greedy day either that or just wishful thinking! Now this was perfect all of this and warrants 5 stars, until you go upstairs, no accessible toilets that I could see, up nearly 2 flights of stairs past the kitchens (which is good to see them at work) the toilet wasn't the cleanest I had been in, the seat was stained and needed replacing, dust can't be helped but this was dust you could write your name in and literally make a dust bunny out of it! It really needs addressing, nice that they have sanitary products but do they really need to lay in a box full of dust and dirt? The sink and taps have seen better days too. First impressions really do count, this could be such a perfect little gem but some simple things really do need to be adjusted and made more hygienic. I am not sure if I will return or not due to not living here, but I can promise you that you will receive a lovely warm welcome and an amazing cup of coffee. If you don't need the loo when you are there, you'll never know about the stuff I have mentioned. Go and see for yourself, support local companies instead of the big brands!

What a trip down memory lane!! Fantastic haddock, chips and mushy peas - honestly the best ever. You’ll have to queue but it’s worth it.

Fantastic food which is always full of flavour and tastes amazing! service is always superb and you’re guaranteed a warm welcome. We love eating here !

Nine of us went for a St Patrick’s day lunch except there wasn’t a nod to Ireland on the menu. It was £12.50 per head with a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 puddings. We we’re expecting something exceptional for the price at a college which is charging more than restaurants in town. The leek and potato soup was good and nicely presented with a swirl of cream through the green soup. To follow the roast lamb was supposed to be leg but there was too much gristle and fat, more like shoulder but the student waitress insisted it was leg! The accompanying veg was just about okay, the long stemmed broccoli was almost but not going yellow. The desserts were a choice between lemon tart, tiramisu or panecotta which were quite good but nothing to drool over.

Ordered for 4. 3 omelettes and a belt buster. Plates cold food Luke warm, Omelette really dry and mushrooms had no taste, cheap sausage. Coffee good hash browns hot fried potatoes cold. Shame as the old porta cabin breakfast was brilliant. Teller couldn’t work the ordering system very well which held up the line.

Been here many times for breakfast, dinner and drinks. The food is delicious and there is never a dull night at the New Inn. Whether you fancy bingo, a quiz or to watch a band, the New Inn caters for all. Definitely worth a visit

First time. Coming here and we really enjoyed it we went for lunch and two had the roast of the day wich was turkey and a couple of us had a club sandwich with home made chips and coleslaw and we all really enjoyed the meal and the relaxing atmosphere we will definitely be going again.

In a world full of Costa and Starbucks etc etc etc ..it was such a treat to find such a gem....the owner is doing her best and the scones cakes and coffee are so 'homemade" it's ALWAYS a treat to escape to here! I'll keep supporting independent traders, the soul of Wirksworth xx

A pub. Fingers crossed last orders will be 11pm on Wednesday this winter!!

Visited with old school friends (we're in our 60s) two had steak, chips, Onion rings, tomato and mushroom with a Stilton sauce. One had scampi and chips and I asked for a Chicken and Bacon salad. Even though it wasn't listed on the menu, they did this for me! Very grateful as it meant I could also eat as weigh in at diet club is tomorrow!!! Everything was freshly cooked, tasty and inviting. Well done Seven Stars

We got the Friday sizzler, 2 Sizzlers and a house bottle of wine deal. Good cocktails, lovely service. It was very quiet when we went on a Friday night so atmosphere was a bit lack luster but other than that it was great! Would certainly go again ☺️

my brother Ryan left a review here but it was biased because his friend's dad co-owns the restaurant so i wanted to try it out. the chicken chow mein was mid and i didn't like anything else. so that answers the question: yes that review was biased. not sure its for me, lord.
