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.

This was probably the best curry I’ve ever had. We went on a Sunday evening and everything was spot on. The service was good, the environment was good and the food was amazing. The chap who welcomed us was friendly, helpful and his recommendations were keenly followed. I had The Thali with the railway cabin lamb and Sri Lankan chicken. This was excellent. My wife had Goan fish curry and this was superb. It’s not cheap but it’s not a Friday night post pub curry, either. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely return - this time for a bowl full of the railway cabin lamb!

A good restaurant and also offers refreshments when you walk by

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!!

Very nice tea shop worth a visit if in melbourne

Nice atmosphere, lovley food and drinks (Lamb Keema Pinsa is awesome 👌)

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.

First time visiting and won't be the last. If I could give 10 stars for the atmosphere I would. Great place, great food, great service. Highly recommend.

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.
