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

A fantastic setting, amazing staff and gorgeous food. Our first time here with friends from Cumbria and they said it was thd best Indian meal they had ever had.

Recently visited on a Friday evening with my wife and honestly couldn’t leave a review to rate this place higher. Lovely size and atmosphere. Great setting. Very good service. Not too fast, not too slow, not overly fussy just perfect. The food was absolutely exceptional and I struggle to think of many better meals I’ve had! Loved it and will definitely be back soon.

Met up with a friend in Melbourne and decided to visit this lovely cafe. Greeted by the owner Charlotte who was extremely friendly and chatty. We ordered the Chicken Flatbreads which were delicious and a Latte and Cappuccino. Prices were very reasonable. They offer breakfast and lunch menu which on this date were both available to use in the afternoon. A good range of food for all. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the area and try this cafe, I will definitely be returning.

So many good beers and the food is great too.

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:)

Really nice place. Good beer, nice flat breads and great staff.

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..

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.
