The best restaurants in East Midlands

Mid week meal out and our first time at Masala restaurant. We got there really early so it was quiet but soon started filling up. The welcome was friendly and we were seated straight away. The menu is extensive enough for a good choice but not overwhelmingly large. The lamb tikka masala was so so good with a rich tomato sauce. Plenty of pieces of lamb too. The lamb biryani was full of flavour and the portion was big. The chicken kurma was creamy and coconutty with lots of chunks of chicken and plenty of sauce. Everything was very tasty and reasonably priced. Along with naan and poppadoms it was only just £50. Highly recommended.

Lovely setting! Friendly and helpful!Lovely menu and fantastic food. The staff are amazing and so helpful. Real log fires crackling away, great atmosphere, we were a couple with a dog and treated amazingly. Thank you, will be back a few more times before we go home. The pub has a little shop as well for all your needs. Thanks.

Lovely, lively atmosphere. Buzzing with life and laughter as we entered. Shown immediately to our reserved table, drinks brought over quickly, order taken and meals delivered promptly. Food was just DELICIOUS. Clearly a well thought of local pub, who also welcome occasional visitors. Highly recommend. 😊

Great dinners love the meat and potatoe pie go there often

Great selection of beers . Small venu Super steep stairs of the variety that wouldn't be good after too many drinks

The lady is super nice and the food is very tasty ❤️🥃

Great pub, lovely inside and out. Good choice of well kept ale. Kitchen wasn't open but the pizza menu looked interesting.

I love micro pubs that do tasters. Especially liked the table service! Thank you guys!

Great old rustic pub, nice & cosy inside with a large outside section for walkers & horseriders alike! Inside is small & compact that probably hasn't changed for decades! Fantastic! It's got a limited food selection of sandwiches & basic hot food meals which are very filling for a decent price. We had the beef madras with rice & naan bread with my partner having the same but with chips. Washed down with a nice local ale although there's a decent selection of other beer, lager & cider. All at a fair price! It's a perfect stop off for the weary walkers & it's dog friendly too. This is a pub to be savoured as a flashback to how small country pubs used to be 30 to 40 years ago, which is a complement.

Absolutely fantastic place to dine at. Food is great, staff are brilliant. It's definitely worth a visit.

Amazing indian food every bit was amazing. It's defo a new favourite

Love this underated spot. Would recommend their Beef Strips and Chips!!!! Real good comfort food :)

Excellent family run old school restaurant. Unfortunately the owners are retiring at the end of the month and closing the business

Friendly traditional atmosphere ✨️

Only there to play pool. The service was good and friendly.
