The best restaurants in East Midlands

Wonderful restraunt, we have been here as a couple many times but first time as a family with our 6 year old. It was a great meal which we all enjoyed for a reasonable price. The staff Sunny/ Mebin were fantastic and very attentive.

We really enjoyed the tapas menu. There were small and large plates, great for sharing and all absolutely delicious. I had the monk fish and lentil daal which was wonderful, really tasty and well presented. We were amazed at the quality of all the food, including vegetarian options. Wine choice also very good. We had a fantastic evening and highly recommended.

We arrived too late for dinner, but the lady who greeted us could not have been more apologetic. As we were only in the area for two nights and we were already having dinner somewhere else the following evening we decided just to pop in for a drink, it was so welcoming and the food looked good we will definitely eat there the next time we are over there

Good quality food and taste amazing

We ordered a afternoon lunch selection for 25 people at our baby shower in Lincoln. The owner Dez could not do enough to meet our requests. He delivered a fantastic spread. The selection of sandwiches were delicious and he catered for everyone’s dietary needs. His homemade sausages and his scones with cream and strawberries went down a storm. They delivered to our venue, which took away all the added stress. Thanks again for delivering us a lovely spread on our special day. We will definitely use Margaret’s Tea Rooms a again.

The Hay Barn has become my favourite place to eat! Delicious food all prepared on site with love and care by the excellent staff. Whether visiting for coffee and cake with a friend or two course lunch with family we love it. I’ve been with my young grandchildren, friends and family members of all ages and there is something for all. The specials board changes weekly and the static menu is very varied with dishes for all tastes. Due to the popularity we sometimes have to wait for a table but this is managed well with the buzzer system enabling us to sit in the car and have a chat before our meal. Yesterday’s visit was for a bite to eat with a friend and work colleague on our return from a meeting following a stressful few days at work. We relaxed with a refreshing lemon iced tea whilst waiting for our bubble and squeak. We chose to sit inside at a window table where the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. On finishing the meal I decided to take home a white chocolate and cinnamon dodger for later. I can’t wait for my next visit!

Lovely sunny spot & seemed very popular. I had a cheese and onion toasty, and my husband had a bowl of fresh soup. All tasted very fresh, bread was lovely sourdough and very tasty. Huge bread roll with the soup! Staff very friendly & attentive and offered to bring out some water for us (we didn't order drinks as we had recently stopped off at the local pub). Really pleasant lunch – I would recommend!

Excellent , a family party of six for Mothers Day , every dish perfect A warm welcome in a really lovely environment with excellent service Highly recommend

Just popped in for lunch, shockingly we were the only ones there. The menu had so much I wanted to try, but we picked the mango and brie slices that came with a nice side salad (i often judge a restaurant based on their effort with side salads) the slices were nice enough, but the Beetroot Wellington for our main was the star, it was fabulous, even the boiled potatos were top notch. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu

Lovely restaurant with fantastic Italian food. Very authentic flavours, great menu and very nice staff. Make sure you book a table at the weekend.

Just had tea and a cake with my lovely work colleague friends. What a gorgeous little tea shop this is. We were greeted by a lovely member of staff armed with a hot sample of winter tea. They also had delicious vegan cupcakes and all of the treats were beautifully presented. To add to the experience, all of the teas, coffees, infusers etc. are available to buy. The shop itself smells of delicious things and the ambience is mellow and inviting. I was so impressed and will definitely be visiting again. All of the staff are super friendly - thank you ladies for a lovely afternoon in a perfect tea-lovers heaven!

Dije que puede ser un poco formal, pero nuestra experiencia no fue nada formal. Una cálida bienvenida nos recibió con deliciosa comida presentada bien. Muy recomendable

Tasty, delicious wraps and cakes, friendly and efficient, perfect spot for lunch. Lots of other delights on offer so definitely worth several revisits.

Magee Street Bakery is a great find for excellent sourdough, it's tucked away on a back street and very busy at the weekend, you'll need to get in early as the bread sells out quick. I also love their single source chocolate brownie, lovely hit of gooey chocolatey joy.

An amazing place for all the family.
