The best restaurants in East Midlands

Our recent experience was disappointing While the food was not the primary issue, the service fell short of expectations. Notably, the restaurant only accepted cash payments, which was inconvenient. Additionally, we experienced a lengthy wait of around 10 minutes, and the reception staff member was unhelpfully rude. To improve, consider expanding payment options and focusing on service efficiency and staff training to enhance the overall customer experience.

Staff very friendly and helpful and food was enjoyable and plentiful

fantastic food, fish is unreal.

Great place refurbished, under new management Great friendly staff especially Charlie

Our fav go to pub always buzzing with atmosphere

Had a table booked for 12 people. Was expecting more of a restaurant setting but there was football on TV in the background followed by an episode of Dr Who. It was also quite noisy and reminded me more of an old school canteen than a restaurant We placed our orders and waited ages then the problems started. We waited over an hour and a half before any My starter of onion bhajis came out which were the best part of the meal. Also to come out was one and a half of two peoples main course of chicken nuggets and chips and cheesy chips minus crispy chicken. We thought nothing of this initially as we though they might just bring everything out together. We waited another half an hour before we started to complain. Two people from our party had to leave and had been served nothing. About 10 minutes later we issued an ultimatum that if we were served no more food then we all would be leaving. Food started to turn up but nobody was impressed by what was served. The chicken tikka masala had a soupy consistency, my chicken jalfrezi had no peppers in it and the chicken looked and tasted more like paneer. Someone else ordered butter chicken which was a bit spicy. The lamb biriyani looked horrific. We did complain numerous times about lack of service and the state of the food. Numerous items were taken off and a discount given. We were given an excuse that there were takeaway orders, what about the people sat right in front of you? Another excuse given is that some of the kitchen staff had left in the previous week. I was glad to get out of there. Will not be returning

The Foods top notch, The service is polite, & The price is spot on, My only problem is I'd like a fatter black pudding, 💯 Total respect too them

We had a lovely brunch for Mothers day. The staff are so accommodating and the food is lovely! Highly recommend. We were also able to reserve a table and the courtyard is Pet friendly. Thank you!

Beers always Top Notch! And at a good price!

Awesome place to grab a pint! Warm, small village atmosphere. Quiz night, comedy night, band night.

Food was very good. I ordered a meal where I got a large noodle pot (the spicy one) 2 spring rolls, prawn crackers and a drink and I must say it was spot on. I ordered for collection and the food was there ready for when I arrived, piping hot. One of the other reviews said they miss the drinks, well they didn’t miss mine. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming. Overall I’d definitely order from Asian middle bar again in the near future.

Poor service at breakfast, tried to charge 10p for a second portion of butter, very petty and off-putting

Fabulous food and service from Vicky and Katie of the Humble Cat. We ordered the Tribute of Life. Everything was set up beautifully; the food was very fresh with lots to choose from and marvelous cakes; and the best thing was that I knew they had it covered and I didn't need to think of anything. I highly recommend the Humble Cat.

Had a jacket potato,I was nearly sick as the potato , obviously a frozen one,was still cold in the middle 🤮

Great quality. Good amount of meat in nice thick sauces. Arrived piping hot in good time. Excellent all round.
