The best restaurants in East Midlands

I used to like this place and used over other local establishments in the area. I ordered a bacon baguette on this occasion to drive home 8 miles and eat my sandwich to find half way through eating there was chicken inside it... bonus if you like chicken... but myself can’t stand it and makes me ill eating it. So we rang up stating of what happened and no real offer for money back or anything. So for people who have allergies with white meat... beware as the woman stated “we cook all meat in one pan” won’t be back again... shocking.

Todo lo que deseábamos y más. La comida era fantástica en la opinión de todos nuestros huéspedes, el ambiente era encantador. No dudaríamos en realizar una función aquí nuevamente.

Very Friendly and great Afternoon Tea a treat from the better half, excellent value. Plenty of sandwiches, by time we worked our way through the sandwiches and the scones jam and cream we were to full to eat the cake, so we ended up with a cakeaway. Would recommend

Many thanks to the Star and Garter staff who looked after us yesterday. The staff were polite and helpful , they provided an excellent buffet, that was good value for money , thank you.

Visited this pub whilst staying at a local holiday park. The menu is very limited and no prices displayed for the food. (Chips, burger, sausage and chips chicken nuggets, chip butty or toastie) We waited about 45 minutes for the food and when it arrived it was served on a cold plate and was very disappointing was also expensive for what we ordered (we should have asked prices before ) Will not be returning unfortunately.

Fab food, great value and brilliant staff. Will def be back. Pizza are freshly made with thin sourdough crusts and the chicken was just lovely Nutella pizza next time!

We fancied a takeaway before a weekend trip away and so visited Magic Chef or the first time. The food was lovely and the portions very generous (if we hadn't been going away we would have had enough for the following day). Will definitely visit again.

Great coffee, delicious sandwiches, good portions, good pricing, and great atmosphere. Great location for additional outside seating waiting for summer.

The food here is amazing and I’d highly recommend it to anyone! We had the brisket burgers and they just melted in your mouth. Family ran restaurant which we love to support.

Lovely little cafe! Popped in on my lunch break with my dog and will definitely be returning! I had a lovely brie, bacon and cranberry panini that comes with the best creamy coleslaw, salad and crisps! It’s super dog friendly which is lovely and they have treats available for dogs! Even took a slice of lemon drizzle and Bakewell tart home and they were both gorgeous!! Thank you cafe Nellie!

Surprise birthday treat. Had afternoon tea. This was very delicious and of very high quality. Coffee and Tea included with the lovely selection of sandwiches, scones, and cake. Highly recommended

This is a lovely little pub with a great atmosphere and serves delicious food especially the Sunday lunch! Highly recommend!!

Popped in this morning after passing many times, wasn’t disappointed. Clean shop with friendly happy staff, breakfast tray was just the right portion size and cooked well.

Had a great meal with delicious food and friendly staff
