The best restaurants in East Midlands

Wonderful pub and the best landlady.

Me and my wife to be be had a joint stag/hendo at the fox with lots of friends and everyone said how nice the pizzas were and the service was great as usual will definitely recommend to anyone

Lovely cafe, great food and coffee all served with a smile. This has become one of our regulars.

A fantastic pub with really yummy food and friendly staff - family friendly also, with a big beer garden out the back. Thank you for having us!

I visited with my family for breakfast recently and was very impressed with the food, drinks, service and the price. I look forward to going back.

A very friendly destination pub. Quirkily decorated with a different vibe in each room. Large range of drinks. Definitely returning. M

Nice little Inn , staff a very nice & courteous. Lovely people in here too , when we went in we got invited to play a quiz. Good selection of beers, too. Really had a lovely time in the Star. Food is not available here. But there are plenty of other places in the area. Give then a visit if you're thirsty or just pop in for a drink anyway.

We decided last minute to go for dinner and was welcome The barman was very polite and helpful and waitress was alone and was handling the restaurant with professionalism The food was hot and possibly the best fish and chips I have had inland ever We’re definitely going back And can’t recommend this place enough

A wonderful place in the heart of Buxton. The staff are super friendly which really helps. The menu is very clever with lots of innovative options including a children's menu. This business really stands out in Buxton and is well worth a visit. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work.

Great local pub. New owners are so welcoming. Lovely garden to sit out in and dog friendly

Fantastic place, really delicious burger at a very reasonable price for the quality and taste.

Food was not great service was pathetic had to wait for 45 min for the order

The venue was clean and well presented and the young staff were very professional and efficient. Suggest when visiting you opt for a table away from thr middle of the room or you will have a flow of people passing close by whilst you are eating. The food was well prepared pub grub. A few enhancements to the menu to increase choice away from burgers, pie and sausages, would make the venue stand out from the many pubs that have the same food choices.

The Garden Deli was a little hidden gem in Nene Court with a lovely outside seating area, which has now expanded into the unit next door, the extra table seating has made the deli much more accessible when busy. For lunch we ordered tuna melt panini & avocado smash with bacon on sourdough, both meals were freshly prepared, tasty, hot & nicely presented on the plate. Will be back again soon. It is so good to see an independent business expanding & being successful 🙌

Being from much further south and not having a clue about Retford we thought we’d give Amir’s a go. Friendly staff, very attentive. The food was really good. I had the Retford Korahi Jalfrezi with beef. In all honesty I was expecting the beef to be on the tough side but it was so soft, tender and tasty. My husband had the mixed Balti which was also tasty. Not very expensive compared to what we’re used to. Would definitely visit again.
