The best restaurants in East Midlands

This was our first visit and we were met with a very friendly welcome by the lady behind the bar. The food is cooked fresh by the equally friendly chef. I had beef lasagne with chips and salad, my husband had Bang Bang Chicken with Rice. Both were delicious. We will definitely eat here again.

Libby was so lovely all night, checked we were ok for drinks constantly, thank you so much for the service! A credit to the white elephant! Thanks libby x

Excellent friendly service. Simple scrambled eggs on toast excellent, good coffee. Limited time no problem. Will call again when in area.

Absolutely horrendous! Must say the behaviour of the staff has completely disappointed me. the waitress had no interest in serving us and also was on her phone the entire time and barely acknowledged us. We had to wave her down to pay the bill. Easily one of the worst service experience I have ever had .

Best in area. Yummy. Always order an extra large fish to share, with chips and peas. Enough for two. Keeps cost down.

Very nice roaring fire in the main bar area. Menu was nice but sadly it took 40 mins for our meal (4) to arrive from ordering. Only one other table having food in our area. The chips were not really chips but skin on wedges, not crisp. Not sure what they were cooked in , the club sandwich was misleading description. It was a ciabatta sandwich . The waiter was good, cheery young man. This is a nice pub but the food we had was fine but sadly not great..

Food was delicious. It is always so fresh tasting. The pie is full of chicken unlike some places. The only slight issue with this order was there should have been 2 gravy & not 1. Definitely recommend this chippy.

Hidden little gem - always great

Great stopover near the A1. Very busy when we visited on Easter weekend. Cafe inside was quite crowded, but service was efficient and helpful. The feature is the amazing home made ice cream. Generous portions, bought some to take home too

Really lovely pub. The food is good, very generous portions! A really dog friendly pub, I recently brought my anxious rescue dog in, to try and give her some new experiences and the staff made sure she had a really positive experience. Thank you!

Great discovery of this hidden gem. Well worthy of a visit! Very friendly staff and clean premises and reasonable prices.

Lovely staff, very friendly as always. We had the mushroom soup which would have been perfect had it not been laced with pepper, I couldn't finish mine unfortunately. I think the cafe has lost it's lovely cozy feel since it changed hands and had a face lift, but we'll try it again and see.

Nice pub! We got there just before 6pm and was able to order our burgers just in time before the kitchen closed at 6pm. They have a good range of burgers all with its little twist. We all ordered different burgers - I had the Italian pizza burger, one had the katsu curry burger, another the Mexican burger and the texas bbq burger they all came with chips and onion rings on the side all for £12.95 🙌🏼 Definitely recommend you going if you are in the area! We were well looked after. Toliets were clean too!

Friendly staff nice atmosphere ( have made a real effort with the decor and table set up) delicious food - will certainly be back.

A lovely pub, very busy when I popped in with my dog which is always a good sign. The beer was great and with the log fire going, was a proper country pub vibe. Definitely recommend a visit
