The best restaurants in East Midlands

I feel that I need to defend this coffee shop based on a recent review by a whinging and moaning customer that visited at the same time that I did, they were sat near us and I suspected that they would review on here. This coffee shop serves amazing food, and if you ever want anything changing or you’d like extra hot beans then they accommodate, the tea pots are big and hold their tea for 2 so when you order a tea for one then they come half full, the pieces are below average compared to every other eatery in the area that serves a full breakfast and the food is freshly prepared. Maybe next time they should just go to McDonald’s …… support small local businesses rather than slating them !!!!!

Been down today for a Sunday dinner and it was so good, beef was cooked to perfection as was the vegetables and sides. Service is friendly and prompt. Definitely we will come again and if you’ve not been you are missing out

Had my 2 year old daughters party there at weekend, loved it. Age appropriate, great staff ,enough space. Little bit cold in cafe but fire was on. Plenty of car parking space. Would definitely come back for a visit and have a future party here.

Can’t go wrong, nice breakfast, decent staff delivered on time will order again

We stopped here for a drink and chips, a great little place, a fantastic atmosphere and the staff really friendly. The food caller had a good sense of humour, making people chuckle. It's just a cool place to hang out a bit after a good ride out!

Excellent food 😋 will going back 😋

The pub is in a local neighborhood so very close to everyone. The prices are family friendly. I would recommend a visit to anybody!

A nice little hidden gem. Not many traditional pubs left. Highly recommended

Visited for lunch after seeing good reviews online. Looks cute but left rather disappointed. No proper food available, just a few pastrys, ordered two & was given an incorrect order. Hot chocolate just tasted like warm milk. :(

We had a fantastic meal. Great food. And what was even better NO DOGS allowed in the restaurant. Me being dog owner myself, fully support 👍👍

GONE! despite a website that let me download a menu and details of opening times, I arrived to find an empty building available to let so went to the Old Forge instead.

Found on Brit Stops. Arrived and felt very welcomed. Parking at rear of the pub. Only neg, no cask ale, but good lagers with multiple choices. Food was excellent, and great value. Parked up overnight and back tomorrow evening after the National Arboretum VE day events. The NA is just 11 miles away. Highly recommend a visit to both.

After a perfect breakfast, I was very happy to finish it with a perfect coffee…

We have eaten in dining room many times, always super tasty and nice and hot. But today due to illness, Carol kindly did us a fabulous take away, generous and tasty as always. Throughly recommend this marvelous pub, and wonderful staff. Many thanks Christine and Pat x

Excellent breakfast, tasty,hot and substantial I enjoyed it and it was complimented with a really nice tasty cup of tea!
