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

Been here before and popped in today whilst visiting the shops in Melbourne. I had the breakfast and my wife had the pancakes. First thing that I liked was that we weren’t brought our drinks 10 minutes before the food as I like them together. Food arrived and was excellent and good value. Friendly and attentive staff as well. Thank you.

Lovely staff, great service and yummy yummy food. Your menu is superb. Thanks for accommodating us without a booking, we can’t wait to come back soon, we found a gem.

From outside, you can see that Leddy's will provide an intimate dining experience. We both had the beef fillet with English squash, Hen of the woods (a mushroom), pulled cheek and Bordelaise sauce, with sides of harissa cabbage and Kombu fries. I was concerned about the harissa, but none of the flavours were overpowering, and the beef (both fillet and cheek) were superb. For dessert, I had the chocolate and banana torte, and my friend had the Pannacotta. She was delighted with this, and enjoyed the yuzu and lime flavours. The banana dessert was exceptional - I had expected it to be very sweet - both the torte and banana ice cream, but again the flavours were subtle. I would definitely recommend a visit.

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.

I didn't eat this trip but as expected the beer is excellent

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.

Great little Indian local to Donnington park. Not licensed but happy to bring your own or even bring in from pub next door. Friendly staff and good food.

Lovely visit, very friendly staff, food was top notch and came quickly and it was nice and warm which was lovely on a cold autumn day. Would definitely go back. I had the chicken with Gnocchi which was superb

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.

Very friendly good selection of beers.

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.
