The best restaurants in East Midlands

Food didn't taste of anything whole slice of pineapple in the chicken curry rice was cold

Called here this morning before going for a walk round Matlock bath. Lovely quaint little tea shop with welcoming servers. Just had drinks but the menu stated a variety of food and cakes. Great prices also. Would call again as lots of Covid restrictions in place so felt safe.

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

Friendly traditional atmosphere ✨️

Popped in for a quick beer with friends and wasn't disappointed! Great pub, really friendly staff.

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

I don't need to pay for a pint for music, I get it free on Stockbrook street!

Just had a coffee but it was nice enough! 👍

This is my 3rd time back here, food was great just as always. Very friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Bring your own drinks. You definitely will not be disappointed.

It was an impromptu visit, but this pub had a nice ambience and awesome Indian food. I think we will visit many times again to try out all the items in the menu. Authentic taste of Indian food is the main highlight of this pub, believe me when I say about the brilliant taste and quality of the Indian food here as rarely you get to experience genuinely nice Indian food in a pub. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for a fantastic meal, nice ambience and friendly service.

Went in a couple of nights over the weekend, food was nice but had a bit of a wait. The so called manager, what an idiot, i have never seen anyone so rude and arrogant working in the hospitalty industry. He has absolutely no idea what he is doing, if you try to talk to him to explain something is missing from your food he says "its not my problem". We asked if the table was still reserved and were told "you've got eyes the dame as me, look dor yourselves". He has no manners at all, he spoke to some of the staff like they were trash and all he kept saying was "i'm Luke, i'm the manager", and that was pretty much his attitude. On the other hand there was a lovely lady calked Tilly who couldnt do enough for you. Made sure you had everything you needed, dealt with a lady with allergies impeccably making sure they could cater for her. I watched her go around the whole room chatting to people and making sure they were ok and made them feel welcome. This is how hospitality works, unlike "Luke the manager". The other members of staff that caught my attention was Zoe and Georgina, they are both lovely and if it wasnt for Tilly, Zoe and Georgina i would definately have left a bad review. If the owners have any idea what they are doing they would surely get rid of the alleged manager Luke and keep the other 3 staff as they would attract custom and not lose them as Luke will surely do that. I will go back again once back this way and hopefully it will have improved.

Great food..fresh and flavorful. Recommended!

Very good food and very good hospitality! Pardeep and his team do a smashing job!

I'm honestly staggered by how good this place is. Come every few months as a half way point for lunch with friends, and for the price the food is exceptional. Lunch the other day was goats cheese souffle and calves liver, and every5hing down the apple salad with the starter was well thought out. There are some amazing gastro pubs around stamford/ oakham way, and this easily rivals them for half the price. The food is always beautifully cooked, the menu changes often and the staff are lovely. 20 quid for two courses (photos attached) and the food is exceptionally good. Can't rate it high enough and bang on about it to everybody I know locally!

Wonderful Loved the decor, the service and the food was amazing. Will definitely be back.
