The best restaurants in East Midlands

Great tea and cakes and a great range of wildlife and ecology items and gifts. Friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating area. Easily walkable from Matlock Bath.

Great atmosphere, range of drinks are a nice change to the other pub's in the area. Do need to improve the mocktail selection.

Excellent experience. Drove to the takeaway in person to order and collect. It’s cash only which I already knew. Very reasonably priced. Was only waiting about 15 minutes for the food. Generous portions of food all very nicely freshly cooked. In particular the very large spring rolls were delicious. They were generously filled with lots of flavour and a good mix of veg meat and prawns. The pancake was light fluffy yet crispy and not oily. Really enjoyed our meal and will returning. Worth the trip just for the pancake rolls.

Popped in for a piece of cake. Got some carrot cake and Victoria sandwich. Both cakes were very tasty and moist. Nice staff slightly expensive for one slice so I’m not giving 5 stars.

I went to the West End Brewery today and can confirm it is closed! in spite of all the news, rumours and articles I had read, I decided to give this place a last chance and guess what I found? a closed pub! Well done to Josh, Russ and Tina (and John) on running the best pub for miles and wishing you all the best for whatever the future brings!

Cosy, comfortable. relaxed and we had baked potatoes with fillings and mine was coronation chicken and my wife cheese and mushrooms. The quality of these home cooked superbly baked potato, excellent side salad and the coronation chicken was beautiful. Well done chef!

I had Afternoon Tea with friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. I have never been disappointed with Aquavita whenever I have had their meals or takeaways. I certainly was not disappointed this time either.. An amazing selection of sandwiches and cakes, all delicious as was the tea. Everyone had their own cake stand with six different sandwiches and sausage roll and a crisp tampura piece of fish. ,Plus scone with jam & cream, cupcake, cheesecake, millionaire slice, chocolate brownie, plum bread & cheese. We all had doggy bags to take home because it was too much to eat and we were there for two hours. The birthday girl was delighted and we are definitely going to visit again for another meal and another Afternoon Tea. I cannot recommend this Afternoon Tea highly enough and the price was less than we had been quoted elsewhere. If you see Aquavita Catering advertised anywhere you are guaranteed quality and delicious tasting dishes..

Marido tenía un sándwich de dedo de pescado gigante - delicioso y lleno de ensalada y ensalada de col en el lado. Tomé sopa de puerro y papa con rollos y mantequilla. Disfrutamos mucho tanto de la comida como del ambiente agradable.

Great food and service. Although they were a bit understaffed for lunch, but it happens at times. Well worth the wait for toasted sandwiches and coffee.

We went today as it was a special 'burger day' and we'd also had lunch there last week. The food is very good quality for the price and some items are clearly made in house. Service was excellent but they weren't very busy probably due to the weather. A bit out of the way but well worth a visit.

Good atmosphere tonight. Nice outdoor seating in the Maytime sun. Food coming out of kitchen looked good. Service was friendly.

I've been attending the biker breakfast regularly since it started. You are assured a warm welcome, friendly banter, and usually plenty of interesting bikes and cars turn up, especially on classic meets. The cakes are lovely, and you can't beat a bacon roll and coffee (in a mug!) for a fiver! Highly recommended.

Me and sibling brought my daughter here and it was lovely, great atmosphere, lovely selection of foods and drinks. Beautiful looking cakes. Loved it.

Visited Pointsix for a second time with my daughter and partner. We ordered coffee and food. I asked for a pour over coffee and was told that it could be done, even though it was not on the menu. Everything was really good. My pour over and my partners latte were excellent. The food was very good. Flavourful and fresh. Will visit the third time.

Would not hesitate to recommend The Olive Pot for a special occasion. From booking to execution of a meal for 10, the service could not have been any better. We were given a large choice of menus from which we chose 3 dishes for each course. The staff arrived on time, dressed the table and cooked and served the most amazing meals. The quality of the food was excellent and cooked to perfection. I would go so far as to say it was some of best I'd had in a very long time... and plenty of it. After we had finished everything was left spotless. I really don't k so how they did it, but it made an auspicious occasion very special. Thank you.
