The best restaurants in Melbourne South Derbyshire East Midlands

We have been here several times and have always received a lovely warm welcome, the venue is small but immaculate and the cocktails are by far the best ones I’ve tasted (they really take their time to deliver a very well presented delicious drink). We can’t wait for our next visit

A delicious full breakfast and smashed avocado with feta and poached egg. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Went above and beyond for a special birthday breakfast too. Can highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you

Fabulously tasty food with 1st class service

What an incredible night at Leddy’s! Six of us wined, dined, and had the best time imaginable. The food? Absolute perfection. I kicked things off with the scallops, so good they deserve their own fan club. Then came the beef, which was so tender and flavorful it practically melted in my mouth. And that sticky toffee pudding? Let’s just say it was love at first bite! The staff were total stars—fun, friendly, and always one step ahead. Our wine glasses were magically never empty (how do they do that?), and their energy added to the already buzzing vibe. The atmosphere was spot on—relaxed, lively, and the perfect setting for a great night out. We all left with full bellies, big smiles, and plans to come back soon. If you haven’t been to Leddy’s yet, what are you waiting for?

Just celebrated my 40th birthday with 20 friends, started on the terrace in the sunshine which was great for mingling and the team brought our bubbly out :) then super flexible as to when we started inside with the food, amazing choice of sandwhiches on the afternoon tea and catered for dietary requirements amazingly. Warm scones were delightful and the mini cakes meant we could all try them :) The best time ever, such good easy communication in terms of organisation, completely stress free party, also sent in a playlist which was no hassle.

Great little pub! Not many places stock sours but they had a lovely selection that seemed pricey but compared to shops were a fair price! Served by Oscar who knew all about the beers and was more than friendly and if it wasn’t so busy could have talked all night! Will be back! Thanks x

I come to U.K. quite frequently & this is one of the first places I always visit. The proprietors know me and are always friendly, know my regular Americana drink. The desserts are wonderful & the attention to service is always 1st class!! There’s always a table available. Be sure to take home some of the candies as they are special too! If you visit Melbourne, be sure to stop at Forteys for a coffee & special dessert treat!! You won’t be disappointed…I promise!!

And unplanned visit to this lovely little Gem ✨ Beautiful Gluten Free cakes (More than one choice 🥳, a rarity and not the usual boring Gluten Free Brownie that most places offer. We had Blueberry and Orange Cake and layered Pumpkin cake. lovely light sponge on both. A Maple Syrup Latte and Cinnamon and Honey latte. Delicious 😋 2 Very friendly ladies running the cafe creating a lovely atmosphere with a Relaxing decor and lighting. Would definitely go back.

Absolutely love it here, always so relaxed, lots of great drinks and food and just an all round nice place to wound down.

We were invited to a friends surprise birthday party and fell in love with the beautiful ballroom and it’s stunning chandeliers. The service was excellent and the party couldn’t have gone better.

Excellent food their onion bhajis are totally awesome..

Food was great. Wine was lovely. Atmosphere excellent. I rated four stars because when paying we were told by the waitress there is a service charge added to the bill and did we want to remove it. It's not ideal having the waitress ask if you want to remove their tip from the bill. It is not nice feeling having the pressure of someone asking if you want to remove their tip or not.

Our food was excellent, especially the steak! Staff were very polite and not intrusive. However, the noise levels due to poor acoustics were awful, firstly we had a group of 4 next to us, who were over loud. Then a table for 8 came in and seemed to be shouting the whole time. Interesting another couple who spoke to us on the way out, also mentioned the noise level was high and wouldn’t return.

Much improved from previous owners, no problems and no riff raff

It’s now Meaks. Some serious efficiency improvement would benefit this pleasant cafe. For example, customers queue at the front desk to place their order, but this person (singular) also makes the tea/coffee. So the queue gets priority but at the direct expense of the serving of tea/coffee. There has to be a better way of managing this. We waited 20 mins for a pot of tea for 2. It’s not that difficult. Tea Pot. Hot water & tea bag. Cups. Saucers. Milk. How difficult is that. I could make it in the time it’s taken to write this. Mentioned it to a waitress and the reply was ‘we’re busy’. Yes I could see that. This is not a complaint about the staff. It’s an observation on inbuilt inefficiency. Which could and should be sorted.
