The best restaurants in East Midlands

looks nice.. it’s Nothing special thought I would try it and wished I had not wasted my money food is nothing special and overpriced.. i ordered grilled chicken breast salad and avocado.. the salad was brown and possibly only just in date.. and the chicken wasn’t grilled it was microwaved or boiled and it was 3 fillets not breast tasted awful.. i don’t eat it and for £12 was a fatal waste of money.. i will not be returning.. was so overpriced for a plate of old lettuce and over dry chicken!! i would not recommend this place far nicer places than this and cheaper.. not with it., the staff well the younger girl that took the bill was rude.. don’t bother!!!!

Great night out and food delicious. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely will return another time. Charcoal Grilled pork with salad. House special fried rice and pork belly well worth trying also.

I pop on while my wife is having her hair done. They are lovely people and they make great coffee. You have to try the tuna mayo sandwich it really is very good. It's a independent cafe and would love your support

Great for a quick cheap coffee. Clean , seating good bit of noise from older persons enjoying themselves easy parking across road a church meaning place all sorts going on though the weak

Rang up on the day and asked if I could order afternoon tea for 2 as a take away. Staff were so accommodating. Sandwiches were freshly made and nothing was too much trouble. Everything was ready within a couple of hours. Would definitely go there again.

We came to Number 9 for a special post medical treatment treat! The pleasant staff, and attentiveness were much appreciated. The mix between meditteranian with a lovely Greek influence to straight forward English cuisine was well thought out… and delicious. We ate in the outside cubicles,heated and fun. We had a Prawn Cocktail, fresh mussels. For mains, Lasagne which my wife enjoyed, and a fish medley- super! Couldn’t eat a pud… too much in mains! A super evening and thank you so much. Patrick Webb OBE … till next time!!

Ordered 2 all day Breakfasts, 2 cakes and 2 coffees. The Breakfast was perfect, cooked to perfection with all quality ingredients. The cakes were fresh and delicious as were the coffees. Shame it’s not local to us. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

This is a really lovely pub, found it by chance while staying in the area. We were lucky enough to drop in on a monthly folk music evening, so much musical talent in the local area. There's also regular live music on a Saturday. The pub provides breakfast on Friday, Saturday and Sunday which we had twice during our stay. Good quality produce nicely cooked and incredible value. The hosts are lovely people, so friendly and their relaxed way really makes for an enjoyable visit. They also provide a camping area at the back of the pub so we'll return with our tent once the weather dries up.

We discovered this chippy around November and were hesitant as we saw some negative reviews, only to find that these pertained to previous owners. We bit the bullet and gave it a go and we are delighted we did. The fish is lovely and chips very good. This as a result is our go to chippy. We have bought from here 5 times now and every time it’s been as good as the last. It’s well worth a try

Take out fish and chips had changed hands and service not as good as before also food was cold when got home and poor quality may be using old fat for frying will not go again

As spotless as ever. The prices still haven't risen and a really nice, well cooked breakfast with tea or coffee is still only a fiver! Can't fault the place.

We have had several take away meals from here over the last 6 months after being recommended by a friend. They have been fantastic, we used to live in Birmingham near the curry mile in Lye and have enjoyed some great curries over the years, but we have to say that the chicken tikka masala and the chicken tikka madras are just the best. Only half hour wait but definitely worth it and free delivery. So glad we chose them.

Been for a coffee with a friend coffee was bitter food looked like it had been left for hours, jacket was so dry and stale, bread has mould on it and not much salad and was wilted and slimy staff were rude and more bothered about chatting and doin there own thing when we complained they shrugged and carried on and didnt care i will never go there again

Recent Sunday visit to Dove Cottage tea room. Good menu with a great range of freshly prepared hot and cold snacks, cakes and drinks. Friendly, efficient service, clean and a nice garden!
