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

Food was amazing and tasty! Presented really well and staff were extremely friendly and helpful with menu choices. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back in future.

I didn’t even know this restaurant existed but it was recommended & we gave it a go and were not disappointed. The restaurant itself is very intimate and we loved the vibe inside. The menu had some really good choices, we both went for the scallops to start and then salmon. Both dishes were beautifully presented, and delicious! Service was friendly, quick and very polite. Really impressed and will definitely return!

This was our second visit to Our Place, and yet again, it certainly didn’t disappoint! It was first recommended to us by my friend, who is a blogger for the Visit South Derbyshire Tourism board. She knows what kind of places I enjoy, and assured me this was my cup of tea! It’s such a little gem of a place, with a chilled out, laid back vibe - perfect for a leisurely coffee, afternoon tea, or lunch and a chat with loved ones 🥰. On this occasion I was torn between the Halloumi Burger (which I had last time, and have thought about ever since!) or the Greek Chicken Flatbread. I decided to be a bit more adventurous and went for the Flatbread, and it was definitely a great decision! The quality of the ingredients is superb, which is of paramount importance…… but behind great ingredients, there has to be a great chef, and this was certainly the case! It was freshly cooked to absolute perfection, and I genuinely couldn’t have been any happier! My OH opted for the Chicken burger, and his eyes were on stalks when it was brought to our table! It was out of this world in quantity, quality and appearance. The chicken had the most delicious crumb coating and was accompanied by a beautiful salad, slaw and fries. I can’t recommend Our Place enough - I’m already planning my next visit! Huge congratulations to the staff for getting it exactly right!

Had the fish and chips was amazing

Just what to say a big thank you for the owner of Forteys for letting us use there upstairs for a polar bear event with the town Christmas lights switch on last year.

Amazing little café!! The staff couldn't be friendlier and the cakes and tea were delicious:)

Sat down at 8pm and waited for service only to find out from another table that it was order at the bar. Very few staff visible. Limited menu compared to what it used to be. Mains delivered while we were still halfway through the sharing platter starters. Only licensed until 9pm when the last orders bell went. Advised closing time was 9.45pm. On the plus side, the place is a great space to eat, the food is good, as are the beers and wines.

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.

Consistently good! Always have a good food here! Lots of choice! Well cooked! Friendly staff! Also you can BYO. Also if you have kids and they want something specific for a curry, it’s no problem!

An excellent half term brunch with the kids, staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

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 good staff, pleasing food, drinks top quality and overall wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

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.
