The best restaurants in East Midlands

Went for afternoon tea. Absolutely fantastic. Lovely sandwiches and cakes are delightful. Service was also lovely. The cafe looked so pretty, table cloths and great cushions. Felt so comfortable and so relaxing. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much

Brilliant cocktails, really good value and taste amazing! Atmosphere is nice good music and friendly staff - definitely will be back

We have visited this little coffee shop multiple times now, more recently over the last couple of months. We did visit when it first opened on maybe two occasions, but have just started calling in again. Firstly if there was a GOOD on TA, I would have chosen this above average, however there isn't and I don't quite think this coffee shop is quite at very good level yet, although it could be. Positives first, it is a quaint little coffee shop, opposite the cinema which has parking. They offer a small but nice selection of breads and cakes. They also do very nice lattes. It is a quiet unassuming little spot, somewhat too quiet, which doesn't always shout out welcome. We have only come across a gentleman (possibly the owner) and a lady when visiting, both very cordial when we approached and ordered. Although I do have to say, they don't really engage in much conversation, and I have to agree with some points from a previous review. You don't necessarily expect any in depth or full blown conversations, but the atmosphere they create is very much akin to library staff environment. They aren't rude, yet aren't/don't come across as very friendly or welcoming. It's very robotic. I think more interaction and engagement with customers would be so much more welcoming and appealing to encourage customers to revisit or recommend their business. I would also have the music a 'little' louder when it is on. It hasn't always been on, or it's been so low you cannot hear it and the atmosphere is again, like a library, you can hear a pin drop. The above is not to criticise, just to give honest feedback on recent visits. Try it yourself and form your own opinions.

Sunday roast is fabulous. Last time i ate all the food before i took a photo. The food is freshly cooked and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and everything is clean. A happy sunday roast.

I have lived in the UK for 20 years and have tried fish from many places, but Ruby's Fish and Chips is the best place to enjoy a tasty fish andchips. I highly recommend it!

Went here on quick Saturday tea and breakfast round. Ended up spending much more time here, doing some work and brief reading. The place is nice, specious and busy. Good food and very nice staff. Highly recommend.

What a lovely atmosphere it was in here. Had a lovely full english cooked breakfast and a good chat and laugh whilst eating. Would definitely recommend and will be back next time we are in Buxton. Thanks guys 😊

Had a wonderful lunch here today. The pub is lovely, the food is superb and Sarah the owner is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

La comida era increíble y el personal era tan encantador! Una gran experiencia y con gusto volvería aquí de nuevo. El menú degustador tiene una gran variedad de platos y sabores.

Attentive staff with good knowledge of the menu. Excellent wine. All courses were just the right temperature. Good to be in a restaurant where people were not shouting at each other. Very enjoyable evening.

First time visiting this beautiful place, and was such a delight! Freshly made cakes and scones, and sandwiches, so much to choose from! The service from Natalie was absolutely brilliant, she is a credit to this place, and I can’t wait to visit again! X

Nice food. Decent location. Service average. Good choice and unusual fusion flavours. Heard they were gonna pack up and call it a day. Shame but not a surprise. It is difficult to make a place this work in this area unless the product and price and service and spot on.

Food is average. The service on the other hand was dispicable. Asking a family to leave purely because there 2 year old son may make too much noise is not acceptable in my opinion. If this place doesn't welcome children they should state it when you book and not embarrass people in front of there family on the day. Extremely rude

Super tasty lunch , we had toasted sandwiches with skinny fries. The cake selection looked amazing although we refrained. Nice place to sit after an explore

Went for Sunday dinner and it was really nice, people chatting inside and very nicely decorated. They had fresh brownies etc as well which we took home with us
