The best restaurants in Sawley Erewash East Midlands

Gorgeous food (and plenty of it) at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately we were too busy eating to remember to take a picture ahead of time, so all that was left was a halloumi fritter and half a glass of sangria. Really quick service and a fantastic range of choices!

Great pub. Great beer. Great landlord, Paul is always friendly and welcoming and remembers drink preferences. Nice little sun trap in the beer garden and parking too. Shame they don’t do food at present but otherwise a good pub

Lovely breakfast again. I come quite regularly and always get what I ask for even though I can be a little bit funny with my eating habits. Thumbs up lol

Wednesday night for the best quiz night 😁

Went as a large group for my mother’s birthday. Even though we had to order starters and desserts in advance there was still a huge mix up and missing dishes. Thai fish cakes were just normal fish cakes with a chilli sauce. Carvery was distinctly average. Beef was very sinewy. For a nice setting bang average food and service.

Burnt duck chow mein so couldnt eat it. Duck black bean no flavour and lots of skin - but salt & chili prawns were great. Wont be returning.

What a difference 4 weeks makes since our last visit! In for a tea time weekday meal for 2 adults and 2 children Ordered fish and chips, shepherds pie, steak and ale pie and crispy chicken burger Fish was maybe twice fried? Chips were cold and stale ( re-heated? Or sat waiting for other meals to be cooked?) Sent it back. Came back the same and tasteless. Returned it. Disappointed as Wethersoons in Stapleford do it brilliantly for much less! Order wrong for grandsons burger, sent it back. Pie and mash didn't go down well although this could be down to individual taste alone. Partners Shepherds pie was a let down with the thinnest crust of potato and mostly cheese topping and presentation of veg didn't look appetising. Waitress admitted wrong order with apologies. Got us free drinks and offered both of us with issues free desserts. The second burger looked over done but my Grandson too hungry to care by then. I would have appreciated a deduction off the bill which was still £60 after removing my item. Not sure what happened but that was not an example of good pub food especially at those prices! - £15 for Shepherds pie (with no real layer of potato?, a few peas and a carrot cut in half) Waitress was very polite and apologetic otherwise it would have been 1 star

Serious restaurant staffing issues and a lack of food choices - No vegetarian main meals; starters out of stock; a two hour delay for any food arrival. Remaining staff doing their best under difficult circumstances, But Not a good experience.

ordered 3 currys all were exceptionally hot, when we ordered 1 mild and 2 medium to the extent uneatable. This is ashame as we normally love the food but has gone down hill

Had a wonderful afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday. Delicious food and huge pot of tea. They went above and beyond to make it a special occasion.

I order from here at least 3 times a week and food is always great. today was not as mycooking instructions request was ignored meaning I ended up with sloppy chips donner meat was not well cooked

Fantastic place. Fresh as can be and taste amazing. Fantastic prices for fish and kebabs. Only downside is they don't deliver and no menu online.

Always a pleasure visiting here with family staff Always attentive, and food always excellent, thanks guy's.

Order placed online. Order was accepted online, email confirmation received and credit card transaction was posted, but when I turned up to collect, the shop was closed.

I very much enjoyed the atmosphere and staff. It was a nice night. It being located next to the canal is great for an after dinner walk. Update 18/04/25: I enjoyed another evening here. The staff is incredible. Food delicious. Cappuccino tasty. Management very engaging. Consistently a very nice experience and with such an incredible atmosphere we stayed until close enjoying music and our conversation.
