The best restaurants in East Midlands

Asked for cheese savoury baguette, was made a seafood baguette. Assistant said that's what I asked for but i never have anything but cheese. Doesn't even sound the same. ?? She didn't seem happy with her mistake. As they were very busy (I had waited 20 mins) I decided to take sub roll from ready made section. When I bit into it, it was cheese ploughman's. In wrong section. My fault for not checking, but did not enjoy as don't like pickle. Always been extremely happy in past, but Hykeham Shop now closed. Shame 😥 This was Coningsby shop. Birchwood is also great. Staff lovely and polite 😊

Everything that you can expect from a Lounge!

A wonderful warm welcome here from host Ali who has a great sense of humour! We had great hot drinks and breakfast, all freshly prepared and served with a smile.

My brother in law lives in Nettleham and is recuperating from a long and serious illness. We took him here for lunch. There was an awful lot of changing minds, complications with his dog etc and the ladies there could not have been more patient. In the end we all enjoyed our meals, full English for two of us and quiche and salad for the others, wish I’d had room for pud as I bet it would have been equally delicious. All tea shops should be like this.

This is one of our favourite places to eat, whether its breakfast or dinner, the food is served fresh and hot. The owner is a lovely bloke, and nothing is too much trouble for him. How anyone could leave a bad review is beyond me. We are off there today for our dinner, we mostly go for breakfast every other week but having a change today. We live 16 miles away so not local.

Lovely afternoon tea with such a good variety of food - especially as a vegetarian. Super delicious and a lovely place to enjoy lunch .

Sadly now permanently closed for good. Great for walkers and locals, a real hub of the village. Fantastic food, great place. The villagr will be all the poorer for losing this unique eatery.😪😪🥺

Brilliant food, lovely staff. We had a Very pleasant experience… would recommend!! Also dog friendly! Best cafe in Brackley.

We ordered a takeaway delivery hours ago. The order shows it was meant to be delivered at 6.45- 7.05 pm and we are still waiting it’s now 8.40pm- coming up to 2 hours from when it was meant to be delivered! Have tried to ring several times and no one picks up the phone, goes straight to voice mail. Shocking service! Why no one answers the phone is very strange?! Looks like we aren’t going to get our pizza but the money has been taken! We have no idea if our order is going to arrive?! Update: It’s now 10.25pm and our order has still not arrived. We rang several more times and left a voicemail. Very odd that no one’s answering the phone. So no delivery but taken money. Really not happy!

Used to be a fab little fish and chip shop. Been times over the years with various change in owners. Not sure what has happened in last few months but quality seems have gone down especially the chips. Perhaps new potato supplier needed or change of cooking fat?

On a golfing trip with 3 friends. Wanted a great place to have breakfast and this was it. Superb all round. Zero complaints

Visited whilst attending the Great Central Railway 1940s day. This is a nice clean, quintessentially English cafe serving superb food by friendly staff. Very good value for money and we would highly recommend the Coffee Pot.

First visit tonight for the cheese and wine evening and we had such a lovely time. A really warm welcome with lots of deli items to try, presentation just beautiful and it was such a relaxing way to spend an evening. Huge range of wines, meats and cheeses and staff really helpful with choosing and steering us from all the choice. Will definitely return. Thanks again it exceeded expectations.
