The best restaurants in Wellingborough East Midlands

Really tasty. Good quality ingredients. Fast, friendly delivery. Will order again

An unforgettable dining experience at Ember. Chef James Peck and his team are doing something truly special here. Every dish felt like a masterclass in flavour—carefully thought out, beautifully executed, and full of surprises. I’ve never had cured scallops before, but now I’m ruined for life—they were that good. And the black garlic fudge? Wildly creative and absolutely delicious. You can tell there’s real passion and deep knowledge behind every element on the plate. The service was amazing—warm, attentive, and perfectly paced. And the space itself has a vibe like nothing I’ve felt before: industrial and modern, with fire pits at the heart of the kitchen, giving the whole experience a raw, elemental energy. Ember is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. A must-visit.

Great little bar with a selection of real no ales , friendly and helpful staff, pleasant clientele

Lovely experience with authentic South Indian food. Masala Dosa was tasty and very original. Poori was nice, fluffy and crispy. Kids love the lime and lemon juice.

Had a really enjoyable meal here, the food was top notch, everything was very tasty and cooked well, lamb to die for! The staff were very friendly and made our visit a delight.

Great food and service,, had the lamb chops, fab,,, nice Turkish red wine,,,, raki also good

Located at Wellingborough railway station. Usually at least 3, and sometimes 5 cask ales on at any one time, together with a variety of draught cider, artisanal gin and vodka. Crisps, nuts and similar snacks available. Under new ownership since April 2022. The outside drinking area has been expanded. Community micro-pub, which sponsors the local football team.

The dishes are very tasty and the ladies are very nice. 😘

Great breakfast with pleasant staff

The food just tastes so good massive portions I love this Chinese

Been here many times and the quality never fails. Managed to park off road, great achievement as Senior Management recently had a knee replacement. Brand new on the menu was Buffalo Tuna Melt......bloody marvellous that's all I can say.

After using Millie’s for takeaway lunch at work I thought I would go and eat at the cafe, on arrival I found plenty of parking spaces and the cafe inside had a lovely, calm, family feel to it. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was lovely and the portions were very generous

Wasn't open when it says it's open waste of time

This was my first time in here, but will not be my last, think this could be my new local place to grab a coffee, and bite to eat as it has a very relaxing atmosphere, really friendly staff offering delicious and good value food and fast service. The cakes were reasonably priced and all looked amazing, it was hard to choose! We shared a cinnamon bun between us three, yes it’s that big, absolutely gorgeous, served warmed. The baguettes were tasty and well filled, with a side salad which is something else, yum. Would highly recommend Ugly Mug and will be back.

Great food and service 👌 The outside bar and seating looks impressive and will be well worth a visit when the weather is warmer 😀
