The best restaurants in East Midlands

Lovely café. Always visit when we're in the area. Always very busy. Staff are very polite and helpful. Never a complaint about the food or drinks.

Great guy. Nothing is too much trouble. Lovely food and extremely clean.

Bought 4 cobs 3 , Bacon sausage and egg and 1 Egg cob £6:20 each for the what they call full house and £5 for an egg cob, tasteless on the smallest cob/ muffin you can imagine, all the eggs burst making it impossible to eat without covering yourself. 4 cobs £24 daylight robbery. Will not return

Absolutely outstanding. Vanessa and her staff are way out in front in every instance. Extraordinary talent and the most amazing food. Just incredible, been on a couple of occasions and will definitely be going back. We went for the psychic night and as the girls from work and our lovely boss, what an experience. Do not go anywhere else without trying this culinary masterpiece and best ambience you will find.

Very good service food is amazing

After having had a fantastic experience here midweek during the summer, we promised ourselves we would be back for Sunday dinner. We booked by email, which was confirmed within minutes, Howe when we arrived there was no record of the booking. I was able to find the confirmation email. We were told that we could be accommodated but it would have to be in the bar area as there were 3 other bookings which already had restaurant tables reserved. We were advised to pick a table and they would set it up for us. We showed them where we would like to sit and waited for someone to bring some seating to the table. After 10 minutes we were still standing so found a different table which had seats in place. (We had already informed them that my husband was recovering from a broken ankle) Eventually the waitress came and gave us cutlery and placemats but no salt and pepper. She took our meat orders and I asked whether the veg would include cauliflower cheese, as I would like to not have it, as I have an allergy/intolerance. We waited a further half an hour for our meals, which came with the vegetables served on a tray, including the cauliflower cheese. There was only one spoon which was resting in the cheese sauce so I had to request another one. I then dished myself up a spoonful of swede/carrot mash and one broccoli floret. I did try to dish up some cabbage but found that when lifted from the plate, the cabbage came out from under the cauliflower cheese and covered in the sauce, so I had to not have cabbage. After the meal, the waitress came to clear the table. She dropped some vegetables on the tablecloth and asked if we wanted puddings to which I responded yes. After waiting for 38 minutes with no sign of the waitress to clean the table or take our pudding order, we decided to leave. On taking our payment the bar staff asked if everything had been ok, so I mentioned the above. He simply said, ‘sorry about that ‘but the mains were ok?’ I chose not to continue with the conversation, as my husband had overheard the barman say that he was going to rip someone’s head off. We are really disappointed as we had been telling everyone about how good our experience in the summer was. To top it all, there was a very large dog in the area which smelled strongly and a group of young children also came and used the pool table right next to us, despite there being a notice advising that nobody under 16 was allowed to use it. Another customer did point it out but was ignored. One or two little things we could have overlooked/forgiven but unfortunately there were too many today and we won’t be back

I cannot overstate how much I love this restaurant. It is me and partner’s favourite restaurant in Lincoln. Its fixed priced menu is an absolute bargain and their triple cooked chips are some of the best in the country. The service is impeccable. You can really tell the chefs put in a lot of effort to make the food taste delicious

Best coffee in Harborough, simple as that! There are also some lovely italian style sandwiches and cakes, plus an Italian deli and lots of jars and dried pasta, olives, etc. It's our favourite coffee place by a mile!

Outstanding service and food , such a great place to eat , food is absolutely beautiful and very good value

I arranged for The Butlers Pantry to provide dinner for an Army Officer Reunion in a rental property. From my initial contact to the dinner served , a first class experience. Dietry requirement were all taken into consideration. I would highly recommed.

just to let everyone know that bamboo gardens is shut till the 11 of April 2025

Absolutely love Taj. We’ve been a few times as a family and the food and service is excellent. Really friendly and the two girls serving are friendly and knowledgeable the food never disappoints.

We would not eat Italian food anywhere else, Rocco and Gill are great hosts and the food is superb, my partner and myself went to Rome 3 years ago and I can honestly say that the food at Rocco’s is better than any restaurant we visited there. Just try it once and I guarantee you will be back for more.

the food was insane the fish and chips, battered sausage and all the pies are so good so cooked to perfection definitely a hidden gem to go to when passing kettering

Very good fresh and delicious food! Grilled chicken panini one of my favourite, low prices 😋🐔🍗👌 and of course lovely staff 😘
