The best restaurants in East Midlands

We came in for Sunday dinner, we only booked for 7 people but we had a few extra people. We were a mix of adults and children. The staff were happy to accommodate us at short notice! The food was lovely and came out really quickly, everyone finished their plates and had no complaints. I had the vegetarian nut roast which was super! We all recommend this pub!

Had a great evening here in the restaurant (I recommend booking the restaurant as it was busy midweek) then in the bar. Some great cask ales on tap and an excellent menu. Staff were great and we had an excellent meal (ribeye & steak pie were both really good. Ignore the recent poor review, we only experienced great service and food. Our experience was a great meal served by friendly staff, who then invited is to join the pub quiz in the bar (which we did). A great night. We will return.

Recently booked my sister's hen do at The Barn. Staff were very accommodating & friendly really good service, afternoon tea had a wonderful selection and very fresh. Thank you so much for having us, the bride to be had a wonderful time

Lovely staff, nice place, not a great selection of drinks, but the staff more than make up for that! Would like to see more ipa options, one on draught perhaps .

Nipped in for a drink. Lovely pub and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We have ordered takeaways from Ryan’s before and the food has been lovely, However tonight was a completely different experience. The food was over 30 minutes late (1h 50 mins total) and when it finally arrived it was cold. All of the curry sauces just tasted like a tin of tomatoes with a few spices in it, there was no flavour whatsoever and the bread was undercooked and soggy. So Disappointing.

Great pub, good selection of beers and friendly staff

Lamentablemente no tuvimos una buena experiencia en este restaurante. El servicio fue extremadamente desatenta, con las bebidas olvidadas. El eglefino era un pequeño trozo de pescado dentro de montañas de masa grasienta. Mi desierto de panacotta era horrible, completamente sólido y demasiado fraguado con claramente demasiada gelatina utilizada. Dejé todo y la camarera ni siquiera me preguntó cómo estaban nuestros desiertos. ¡Entonces tuvieron la mejilla de agregar un cargo por servicio a nuestra factura! Definitivamente no volvería.

Yet again a superb meal at this delightful place, reasonably priced, staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely brilliant.

We have been here a number of occasions but this time the service was terrible. We had to wait ages to give our food order and the waitress wasn’t particularly friendly. Waited 45 minutes for our breakfast even though other people had arrived after had their food before ours. Once our food arrived the lady said they were doing another egg as the one on my plate was over cooked even though we had to wait ages. No apology. Won’t be returning again.

Awesome as usual. Love this place

My daughter and I were staying at the hotel next door and was glad we opted to eat dinner close. This place had very friendly staff and the menu choices were amazing. The food was awesome and the place was very clean and well maintained. We will definitely eat here again when in the area.

Look to be quite honest, any Uber or pizza place which doesn’t take the restaurant off the app and still takes your money is a super disgrace lost a lot of respect for this place and word-of-mouth is karma in a nutshell.

Always good, nothing bad to say at all, 10/10,

Wow what can i say, this is the first time coming here as we were visiting my parents who have recently moved here so they treated us to a meal for my birthday. The food and service was by far a 10 out of 10. All freshly cooked food and decent portions for the price too. I had the Sticky Chicken for starters 🤤🤤and a Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie for main course which was well filled. I loved the deco and how comfortable the crushed velvet chairs were which made it even more comfy. The whole place was clean and inviting to everyone. All the staff we were in contact with with so bubbly and friendly, especially the owner? Who took our order and the lady who waited on us too. The only niggle for me was i was to hot but thats personal preference as im never cold and was sittinf by a radiator. Such a lovely pub its a shame its going to be closing ☹️
