The best restaurants in Melton Craven Melton East Midlands

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!

I had a bacon & fresh tomatoes cob. Nicely done. Sue had toasties with salad. Complimented by a strong pot of tea. Lovely experience. We were invited to sit in the garden area at rear of cafe. Very clean & private. Friendly staff & we were made very welcome. Thank you.

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.

Excellent simple food with attentive service in good surroundings I had the spiced pumpkin soup which was home made and served with a choice of gluten free breads

I've been coming here regularly since it opened and they do the best coffee. Sadly the service on my last 2 visits has been lacking. On Sunday I came with a friend for Sunday lunch. The girl took our order and the drinks arrived within 10 mins or so. We finished our drinks and still no sign of any food. I had a receipt with the time showing so, after 45 mins, I asked how much longer our food would be. The waitress then said there is a 45 min wait for food. I said we were not told this when we ordered which would have been helpful. The girl said she would push our order through and to be fair gave us a free drink. The food arrived after 1 hour. Today I went in for coffee and cake. This time it was the coffee that was very slow. I had finished my cake and was just sat waiting for the coffee which arrived after 25 mins. Today wasn't particularly busy but I would never come during my lunch hour from work to eat because of how slow the service is. I still love the place and will come when I have plenty if time but it appears there are staffing issues.

Great burgers and delivered extremely hot

I was here for lunch, and I had the smoked salmon salad and chicken bites. Both were incredible and so full of flavour, and that's not even taking into account the huge portion sizes! The service was quick, friendly, and attentive too. I'm already looking forward to my next visit - compliments to the chef and bar staff for a great lunch!

All the time I have ordering with no issue but today different policy applied very stupid never Oder again

Came in as a party of 3 and the restaurant was full. We had literally just stepped foot inside and before we could say anything a male member of staff barked at us telling us there were no free tables at the moment and stormed off. He didn’t ask us if we would like to wait for a table (which we would have been happy to do) nor did he tell us how long the wait for a table would be. Acted like we were bothering him. It doesn’t matter how busy it is or how bad your shift is, you don’t take it out on customers and talk to people like that.

I was served by an absolutely lovely barista today at around 2:00 and she absolutely made my day. They were very busy but also efficient and I didn’t wait as long as I usually would at other places!

After years of travelling up and down the A1, on Sunday morning I turned off and visited Melton Mowbray in search for a pork pie. I was surprized that the High Street was not full of pork pie shops. But on a back street I found this charming little cafe. An excellent cup of coffee and I purchased a traditional pie, which |i took home and later had for my tea. Well worth the detour.

Great food, attentive friendly service from Katie. Recommend fish pie, steak& kidney suet pud, fish and chips and wonderful sticky toffee pud! .. Will come again.

Great tasting food. Hot and fresh.

Best chips in the world. I don't live in the UK any longer but when I come back I always make sure to go to Nicko's. It's almost worth the 12 hour flight just for their chips!

Brilliant food so tasty definitely recommend
