The best restaurants in East Midlands

Four very nice meals. We had a rib eye steak, pie of the day, vegetarian wellington, & liver & bacon. Well presented & served with a smile. Waited about 25 minutes - good time for fresh tasty food. Followed by sticky toffee pudding & cheesecakes. Nothing left on plates! Clean throughout with ample close by parking. Thank you. Very reasonable prices. Will return.

Food was excellent! Dropped in here with my parents for dinner, wasn’t expecting much tbh, but boy was I surprised, the food was outstanding! We ordered the mixed starters first and they were decent enough, but the main courses were fabulous! We had red curry with duck (meat was succulent, sauce spicy but not overpoweringly so) , stir fried duck in tamarind sauce, - wonderful, stir fried duck in oyster (we like duck!) wonderful. We washed it down with a very reasonably priced and more than passable bottle of house white (Hardy’s Sauvignon blanc). We were served by Sassi (the owner?) who was a delight. All in all I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant and when I’m next in the area I will definitely be back!

Very rude and obnoxious woman working there. Definitely wouldn't recommend 😕 Didn't get to try the food

Me encantó la comida recomendaría entrantes brucetta perfecta para morir por los platos principales, las especialidades eran preciosas y el desierto era excelente solo por otoño solo dos empleados para una casa completa, pero fue una noche increíble

Excellent service as usual, food quality and quantity exceptional ,can't wait for next visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED excellent service

Everyone friendly, and welcoming. Excellent choice of food and drink. Delicious food and very good value for money. Comfotable furniture in a relaxed atmosphere. They go above and beyond, highly recommend

Went in for chips as it was closest to where we were staying. Initially thought it was closed, as some shutters were down. Friendly service and large portions of good chips

Friendly staff and good reasonable priced

Me and my partner visited here, we are new to the area and this looked like a nice little spot. We entered and waited around 7 mins before someone acknowledged us ( there were staff walking in and out the kitchen looking at us) we could see they were busy so we gave it the benefit of the doubt. We were given a table in the corner of the room which we couldn’t move as there were customers basically sat on each others knees it was very small. We got the waitress attention after around 15 mins and she asked us what we wanted and we hadn’t even been given a menu which I found very odd. We wasn’t sure if we ordered at the till or it was table service. We basically just got shown to a table in the corner. The staff were nice and friendly it just seemed chaotic. No one had a role, they were ALL in the kitchen, they were ALL give the food out and taking payment . ALL showing people to the table ect it was just a bit much and I felt stressed watching them in such a tiny place. The food it’s self was nice enough and the venue is lovely and quaint which we loved. We then got up to ask for the bill as we hadn’t seen anyone. Instead of taking our payment one stood round chatting to customers, one was laying a table and taking food and the other was in the kitchen and we waited well over 5 minutes at the till waiting for someone to charge us. Then to be told they don’t take card … it’s was all a bit of a shambles. It would have been nicer to receive that information when we walked in and was shown to the table. Not the best experience but not sure if this was just a bad day for the place.

Had an excellent Sunday lunch, Pork with stuffing, apple sauce, roast potatoes and Yorkshire, separate dish of veg, extra gravy. It was really delicious. Such a shame that the pub is closing at the end of the month as no-one will take over the lease. Have been going to this pub for over 40 years, had many family get togethers here & my father who lives in the village will really miss his fish & chips. Hopefully someone will take it over before too long.

Called yesterday Tuesday 19th March 2024. ! st time visit, good menu of food and drinks. We found the coffee not very strong against other places we visit and on that basis will not be back

Always a welcome Roasted pepper and tomato soup was delicious. Lovely coffee and people good value.

Myself & a friend stopped off at Silverwood cafe! We had a look round the garden centre & other shops, quiet at the time! We decided to have the breakfast on our visit, the food was mediocre, the server was very polite & jolly! Unfortunately while we were sat in the restaurant, our visit was disturbed by loud foul language, only can assume from the kitchen. I really do not appreciate visiting a cafe to hear swearing while I try to enjoy my food. As for visiting again, I shall not!

Rang up and ordered a takeaway and was told at the end of my order that they had run out of prawn crackers😳 Collected my order at the allotted time and drove home, approximately 5mins. I opened the bag and the food had leaked all over. The packaging has changed to cardboard boxes which don’t seal. I plated the food up and it looked very different to the usual dishes and the portions were much smaller than usual. I started to eat and the food was cold. I tried to ring the restaurant but it was engaged. I decided to microwave the food and started eating. The red thai curry didn’t taste like it normally does and it consisted of 8 pieces of chicken, 3 small pieces of red pepper, 1 slice of mushroom and copious amounts of bamboo shoots, they made up 90% of the dish. I also had a chicken pad thai which was a much smaller portion and tasted very bitter. The food was average to say the least and nowhere near the normal standard and quality I have grown to love from this restaurant. I ate a few mouthfuls and left the rest. The reason I order a takeaway is because I want a good quality meal cooked by a professional chef who has mastered their craft to make my meal the best tasting it can be using the freshest ingredients available and in return make me want to return again and again, unfortunately this was no better than your average packet mix meal. Very Very disappointed. It seems like the restaurant is trying to cut costs with the new packaging, the bamboo shoot fillers and the much smaller portions. It’s resulting loosing me as a customer as I will no longer be ordering from the Siam Orchid again.

The cooked meals here are v good ,freshly cooked . Very friendly. It is closing on Saturday for good.
