The best restaurants in Trent Rushcliffe East Midlands

As my friend had a big birthday (she won’t want me to divulge her age) 😜 I decided to take her somewhere new. I had seen Platform 29 on various social media sites & thought it looked very pleasant, so booked. Having never been to Ratcliffe in Trent, we set off on our adventure & we were not disappointed. The staff were all very lovely, nothing was too much trouble, even when my friend had an intolerance to mayo which I hadn’t told them about when I booked & they had asked about dietary requirements. 🤦🏼‍♀️ They made her some plain sandwiches which were equally delightful. The sandwiches were amazing, the bread was very fresh & light, the fillings plentiful. The scones were some of the best I’ve had anywhere & I’ve sampled a few in my time! Now I’m struggling to fine the words to describe the cakes (lemon & chocolate) as they were a triumph! The were so light & delicious, again some of the nicest I have had, with or without afternoon tea. I would just like to say a really big “thank you” to them for making the experience memorable in truly the best way!

Visited today with my mother and mother in law for the first time, we will be returning, made to feel so welcome by the lovely lady Rona, food was wonderful, we loved the surroundings, Thank You very much

I decided to order after a friend recommended and it was incredible. Definitely my takeaway of choice now. The pizzas arrived red hot and were so fresh we really enjoyed it. The Rocky road slabs for dessert are out of this world too if you are unsure whether to order don’t be!! You won’t be disappointed 5*+

Lunch was superb but only had capacity for starter and main course. But we booked five more tables for later in the year to include 2 for starters and puds meals. Oh and we had a cider to accompany our lunch since we used the buses so couldn't have to drive.

Busy, with a superb range of beers.

The food is hit and miss. Im a customer of 5+ years ive had fantastic pizza's and not so fantastic. But staff are brilliant 👏.

I’ve eaten here more than 20 times now, during the day, evenings and sometimes have a cheeky take away. Consistently excellent food, lovely staff and great atmosphere. My favourite place to eat. Highly recommend the smashed avocado with everything on it. The coffee and cakes are exceptional too.

Not very busy, but well locked after. Toilet's were clean, but would probably do with an upgrade.

Met with friends for a leisurely weekend lunch. None of us live locally but this place is in the middle for all of us. I've been here a few times before so recommended it for our meet up. Warm welcome and not rushed at all. The menu was extensive and the food was delicious. The puddings were really good!! This is a lovely country pub to wile away a few hours.

Myself, husband and 7 year old went for tea at Istanbul. We have visited on many occasions and tonight’s experience was excellent as always. Superb food, great drinks and great atmosphere but what sets this apart from the competition is the service. Jan was fantastic as always, and it was lovely to talk to and get to know Tamina who knows exactly how to talk to and look after customers. Thank you both for a lovely evening. Also many congratulations and all the very best to our original favourite waitress who we briefly saw outside. For those who haven’t experienced the restaurant I highly recommend the tribute act nights which are so much fun and are great for special occasions, or just because! Thank you all and will see you soon x

Otra deliciosa comida del menú de Navidad. Mi sopa de setas favorita. El salmón estaba muy sabroso y el pudín de Navidad muy ligero. Servicio con una sonrisa y valió la pena perderse 'Estrictamente' final. Ashmores es uno de los Radcliffe's ¡Grandes activos!

Great place. Can take dogs inside

The food is always amazing, and they are always so polite and kind on delivery! We’ve ordered many times and we are never disappointed. Poppadoms, Garlic chilli chicken, Garlic and cheese naan, Jalfrezi, mushroom rice and chips - are some of our favourites.

Great pizza, pasta, burgers and salads - lots of choice on the menu with kids options and alternatives offered for special dietary requirements (I don't know if they can cater for coeliacs thought, as all food seemed to be prepped in one kitchen). We had halloumi burgers with chips instead of the rocket salad mentioned; bolognese and penne; and a halloumi and pancetta salad. We ended with macarons and coffee - everything was delicious and good value. We ate in the outdoor seating area as it was a very warm evening and inside may have been too warm. Good value, very nice place!

Clean and tidy Craft Union pub with a decent selection of well kept cask beers. Cheerful service and dog friendly.
