The best restaurants in Castle Donington North West Leicestershire East Midlands

Went early Saturday evening. Receptionist for hotel really did not want us to eat there, even though place was empty, saying that they were booked up, but she would ask the Chef. Had to go back in half an hour. Shown to table and asked if we wanted a drink without giving us a drinks menu. Said we would decide when we had chosen the food. Given a food menu consisting of several selections but obviously for a set 3 course meal - no prices. Asked what the price was to be told that was a set meal for Wowcher customers only. Menu taken away to be brought back with prices written on. Chose our food and needed to ask for the wine menu. Food took a long time to be prepared. But when it came the Lamb rack was delicious followed by two nice deserts. The restaurant was nicely decorated and set out, with linen tablecloth and napkins. Unfortunately it completely lacked atmosphere because we were the only customers. (Fully Booked??). Some quiet music would have been better. Left two and a half hours or so later, still empty. I had asked about the Gourmet Society when we sat down to be ignored and of course told they did not do the card at all even though they are on the website. Although as I have already said the food was excellent I would not recommend this restaurant and feel that management should change things quickly before they lose all their customers.

It is very good and the service is very pleasant

Really lovely friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. Shame it's closing, it's our go to when we travel abroad

Great large donor kebab… lamb only 10/10 Chicken tikka was a bit dry 6/10 Pizza, 5/10 was very runny. Cheese and toppings just dripped off the pizza base. Been plenty of times for a large donor kebab, lovely big portion, and excellent nan bread.

"I had a fantastic breakfast at Franky and Benny's at the airport! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. The service was excellent, with a very professional and friendly staff who made sure everything was perfect. A great start to my journey — highly recommend!"

Absaloutly disgusting food. Wouldnt go here again. Also overcharging on delivery to Diseworth

Stayed at the Travel lodge for 2 night over the Download festival ( June 14th + 15th 2019). We had no choice but to get breakfast at the Harvester.

As all the other cafes are closed we had to come here for coffee. Staff were great but £3.50 for a small, luke warm coffee was a bit disappointing 😞

At what should be the start of a enjoyable week away to be met by grumpy staff who got narked because I pointed out the seat suggested was not suitable for my mobility aid and would block the entrance (health/safety issue) to the stone cold and meagre in size bacon sandwiches which were sent back to be recooked to the tea cup arriving on a plate and told we've run out of saucers so it's all we had to the high price of this attempt to relax before flying it was a total unmitigated disaster. Never again Frankie & Benny's you should hang your head in shame. I don't mind paying higher prices at airports but do expect good service & food for it. Wheelchair accessibility Staff have no idea about needing extra space when being seated to accommodate a wheelchair.

No gloves 🧤 rubbing his hand on his T-shirt 👕 and making you a pizza with the taste of dirty T-shirt that he’s warring for the whole week
