The best restaurants in East Midlands

First and last time eating from here last night. As other posts have said chips were dry and raw dispite waiting about 20 minutes for them to be cooked. When I ordered he seemed to try and flog extra drinks at a discount (lemon coke) I'm guessing it was going off. Whilst I was waiting the man said he'd just made a batch of samosa's for a bulk order, and asked if I'd like to try one whilst I wait. I said go on then thinking it was a free snack. He then said 3.50 for the portion. Obviously I paid and thanked him. 🤦. Also I have never been to a chippy that has boxes in the hot section where the food is usually waiting. There was also a ping of a microwave, maybe defrosting something. Basically they need to either focus on cutty or chips.

A bit pricey for what you get, I ordered king prawn Saag and only got 3 prawns for the price of £18-50, but saying that flavour was fantastic

Sorry delayed review just wanted to say we really enjoyed our lunch and our excellent service provided by George thank you

Great staff, good selection of drinks all reasonably priced. Well recommend this pub if you're in the vicinity.

Great food, staff are lovely. Beautiful location

Honestly the best curry I've had, can't stop coming back. Food is really well spiced and seasoned. Amazing service

Reopened following bereavement (Nov '23), Kegworth's tucked-round-the-back traditional old-fashioned pub. Cask ales at time of visit: Taylor's'"Landlord" , Marston's "Pedigree" and Castle Rock's "Harvest Pale".

Always quality food and service.

My friend and I popped in here after goose fair. Welcomed by a friendly tender. Seated and given drinks menu. They make a fabulous campari spritz !!!!! A great clean beautiful busy place. Highly recommend 👌 x

A nice pub to have a drink and watch football, well recommended 👌.

Had a pint or 5 with a mate, good atmosphere and music.

I’m not usually one to leave negative reviews, and it’s upsetting I feel the need to do so for such a special place. My partner and I came here for our first date two years ago. We decided, whilst I’m back in the city, to revisit. We had excellent service from the young lady with glasses, who helped us decide on our drinks. We had two cocktails, and had a third round, but my partner, as he was standing up, knocked half of my third drink over. He apologised profusely and helped clean it up, and we decided to order one more round before taking our leave. The lady who seemed to be in charge for the night, a blond lady with very pretty makeup, was very rude to my partner when he tried to order at the counter, and said we had had enough and should leave. We were quite shocked by this, as we knew we were not disruptive, and we hadn’t visited anywhere else before coming here. In fact we only came out to visit cank street. In fact, the entire place was empty aside from another couple. I think they wanted us to leave so they could close, as immediately after we left, the same lady came out to start putting tables away, but ultimately she could have been much nicer about it as my partner was very apologetic. She was also quite rude, as I noticed outside she began dancing in the window when I made eye contact with her (my partner was telling me at the time that he had been cut off by her, and that the lady with glasses seemed quite awkward with the whole ordeal). We had a very special spot in our hearts for this place, but I do feel this service ruined the experience of it. We decided to have our final drink next door at 45 west instead, and their cocktails are just as good. We were going to ask their names, but figured we’d probably get fake ones. It’s a shame really. This was our go to for big dates and celebrations, but it’s pretty dead to us now :(

This is one of my favourite places to go in Bulwell. The atmosphere is good, the music is great, the drinks are good and the staff are wonderful. Whenever we have people visiting we always make sure to try and bring them here for a drink.

Unfortunately the bacon was over cooked as it was like cardboard , overpriced, my first time , but wouldn't go again

I visited this Very lovely country pub with my partner and daughter and upon arrival was welcomed by a very lovely lady who couldn't do any more to help us and was very polite. I ordered the steak and ale pie,chips,peas,carrots and gravy which was absolutely lovely the price was 12.50p and the pie was homemade.my partner ordered the chicken burger which she absolutely loved and had 7 mini fillets on with homemade batter it also came with homemade onion rings,chips,salad and coleslaw all for 12.50p. My daughter ordered chicken nuggets which was homemade chicken chuncks and chips an peas for 7.50p and she loved it.To top it off my daughter knocked over 2 full cokes everywhere and instead of attitude or dirty looks the lady was amazing and so understanding.id recommended this pub to anybody and everybody who loves a well priced meal and amazing food also they have a good selection of homemade puddings and a log fire in the middle just to give it that extra country pub feel.
