The best restaurants in East Midlands

We found this charming little cafe very last minute as a meeting point for friends. It was lovely. Friendly staff, lovely interiors, great looking cake selection and good prices. The menu looked lovely. I had a bacon and egg bap that was delicious. Will definitely return although I imagine it gets very busy and only had a handful of tables but will try our luck.

Best fish and chips around, great service on takeaway or delivery (always very prompt)

Great find and bonus that it’s all vegan and dog friendly.

Fantastic Mirco pub. Great service and atmosphere. Great price for two top beers. Definitely be going again with the scooter club

Had Sunday Lunch there today, excellent food service and price 👍

Ordered from here on recommendation whilst staying in the area for a few days, Got to say it was one of the nicest Indian's I have ever tasted, polite and speedy delivery and easy app to use . Would 100% recommend.

We visited the Paper Mill whilst staying in High Peak over the Easter break and wanted somewhere dog friendly for an evening meal. The setting is idyllic and the Paper Mill was busy, friendly and welcoming. We ordered a range of sides and pizzas and a selection of drinks and were not disappointed. Great food done really well! Thank you for a great evening!

Wine tasting experience. Well run, good atmosphere, lovely wines.

It's ok here, not as good as Bourne RUFC, which is just a few miles away

We popped in for brunch and enjoyed drinks and a snack. Delicious home made scones and friendly service. We will return.

Very good customer service and even more important, food was good to!

I was looking forward to visiting this pub. Sadly the bartender could not give a hoot that served my pint in a VERY dirty glass. I had to repeat it three times before he said 'oh'. Left me with the dirty glass and dirty pint, I had to ditch the pint. Never going back. I wish I took you a picture of the glass, absolute joke!

3rd time trying happy house in the last 2 months, I didn't leave a review after my first order as I like to see how new places are after a couple of deliveries. Yes, it's a five star from us. Brilliant people to talk to over the phone, very helpful and they make lovely and safe gluten free dishes, my wife loves the gluten free version of szechuan chicken and egg fried rice. Awesome, absolutely awesome. Well done to the people that own it and cook the food. I cannot find a fault with anything and there aren't many Chinese places like this about now, the last one I remember being this good was in grassmoor in the 1990s.

*Update as of October 2024 - Now CLOSED. Notice on the door of repossession, such a shame. Old review - Only came in for a quick visit and will be back for a longer one. Fantastic. Really friendly and welcoming staff with a great atmosphere. Excellent quality beer.
