The best restaurants in East Midlands

2nd visit to Bakewell and 2nd visit to Catch32, absolutely delicious quality fish n chips. Nice guy who owns it and nice staff. Beats the chippy near the river hands down. Travel from Shaw/Oldham to Bakewell and this chippy is very much part of the trip.

Brother & I visited recently on recommendation. Generally weren't disappointed. Nice pint of Timothy Taylors each, giant Yorkshire & house burger ordered all well cooked & presented. Atmosphere a little disappointing & front of house could do with a little polish. But would go again.

If you like your Sunday lunch pilled high, this the place for you. The plate was packed with a wonderful hot Turkey lunch. Great puds too.

Under cooked not fresh i perfer chocoberry and fudgepuppy

Been here a few times now and never had one single complaint. Staff are always cheerful and helpful, good atmosphere, food and drinks are fairly priced, and a 20% student discount is great! Got great sports tvs too and a large outdoor area for when the weather’s nice. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Great food & service nothing was to much trouble sausages cooked fresh to order! Take away service is very good it was my first time trying! I will be back! Thankyou

When house hunting in Beeston with our son we stopped off at "Bean" for coffee's and cake to keep us going through the morning. Due to the Covid restrictions it was take-away only and Bean had managed this very well to protect their staff and customers.A very tempting selection of cakes and great coffee. We had 2 cakes, 2 lattes and a mocha and the cost was circa £14. With our son putting an offer in on a house that same afternoon, which was accepted, it seems we will be back to enjoy Bean on a more regular basis!

What A STUNNING pub. The friendliest folk in the world. This is my new favourite little peaks pub, and my dogs agree after all the treats the landlord gave them. Roaring fires, great beer and lovely locals. Driving past it, it looks almost as though it has closed down years ago, don't be deceived!

Had some lunch at this coffee shop on Saturday. Very disappointed to be honest. Pot of tea was nice but the food wasn't very good at all. We both had toasted Sandwich which was shocking really. The bread was so thin and with minimal cheese and onion. Once cooked ended ip.looking like too think bits of cardboard. Cold and floppy. Salad was brown and crisps soft. When asked if OK.when paying I did t want to say as there were people near the tills. Sorry won't be back. Nice bread and some filling would be good. Wondered why it was empty when we went in. 😕

Lovely fresh rolls made to order. Staff friendly and polite. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a smile 😁 Bread, cakes, rolls, etc, are all very nice.

Great tasting burgers, chips were great and sweet potato fries delicious. Delivery guy was also very polite

We received a warm welcome upon arrival,m. There was a lovely atmosphere, everyone appeared to be having a good time. The carvery was delicious, there was your meat options, as a table we tried them all. Great home cooked roasties and Yorkshires puds and a good range of veg, the gravy was delicious too. There was a good selection of desserts and again the portions were generous. Tracy looked after us well, she was funny and friendly which lead to engaging interactions. We went as a family of three generations and everyone was happy, especially the little ones with their scrummy ice colds to finish. We will definitely be returning!

Coffee to go, called in like several occasions before, ordered a coffee told to wait outside, after 10 mins I asked nicely was it ready as waitress walked by, she walked back in saying for ffs, came out with the coffee slammed it down telling me not to bother going again. Don't worry I won't. Pity coffee was good.

Friendly staff with wide choice of 1st class food at very reasonable price . Well worth the visit and place that I will use again on my next visit to Matlock Bath and by the way also very dog friendly inside and out.

Wouldn’t let me order without a table number at first but there was no table number. Had to go back to check and lost my place in queue. Explained where I was sitting and was told what table number it was as though I should have known what it was. Spoke to others outside and they had no table number either. There’s no need to make people feel awkward. Ask them where they’re sitting and I’m sure you’ll find them. Fix your table numbers!
