The best restaurants in East Midlands

Lovely food and lovely service let down by bland decor and a cold restaurant. Not sure if the heating wasn’t coping or it had not been put on as there were very few people in due to it being a Sunday. A shame as the dishes really were very tasty and there is very easy parking across the road in the carpark.

Bistro 66 is a local diner serving mainly breakfast/brunch plus burgers, pizza etc in the evenings (including a Vegan menu). It's not fine dining but then it's not intended to be. We go there for coffee regularly and eat there occasionally. We recently had dinner with friends. The food was good and the service excellent. Five stars is well deserved on the basis that they do what they do very well! Congratulations to whoever chooses and trains the staff - they are always courteous, efficient, helpful and professional - even the younger staff members, who are often poorly trained in other places! Keep up the good work!

The most efficient and professional fish and chips shop I have seen. Great portions.

Usual fare , cream scone for the win

Orded online today and the food came and it looked like it was chucked together won't be ordering there again absolutely disgusting

Ordered for collection. When we got home one meal missing . Food tasteless. Won’t be ordering again.wished I’d gone to paw paw Banbury!!

As the arranger I got there 20 minutes before our family party booking. Good I did as the 3 tables that we had booked and reserved weeks before was not ready by a long way. Next the young staff of 4 did not know how to open a tab for the table. Eventually I got one but when other family members order drinks there was confusion of if a tab was already open. 2 family members requested a cocktail drink but after 10 minutes still not arrived. I approached the bar to see what the issue was, and they said they had never made a cocktail before. They eventually arrive. When the mains started to arrived we had no utensils and no condiments on the table. All mains eventually came within 5 minutes, although I had to go to the bar as a side dish did not arrive. They said it have been forgotten. 4 people ordered a desert from the specials board only to be told that it was not available. Why was it on the specials board? Some ordered the deserts cakes in the display cabinet but the staff has problems finding out the price of them. Eventually they fetched a chef from the kitchen to find out. When the deserts came, again we had no Cutlery. When they decided to bring some spoons it was literally thrown on the table. I had to bite my tongue a few times so not loose my temper as I didn't want to ruin the experience of the family party. Luckily they got the bill right in taking off my deposit. Overall a very poor experience. Would not recommend a Saturday afternoon with family. There needs to be trained staff that care and a manager present to rectify any issues.

We have just finished cod and chips for three people and wow! Best fish and chips we have had in ages, was so fresh and delicious. Ordered online and food was ready spot on time. We will be back! Thank you

Food, for the money can't complain to be fair Woman serving couldn't do maths though and all of us (3 groups) noticed at least £20 extra on our receipt to comment and correct seemed the woman must of been doing it purposely to rob folk! One of staff was quite rude and angry don't know whatever had happened before we got there but she was very snappy and unpolite aswell as slamming and banging about luckily as more customers entered she sort of "pulled the reigns" I reckon with a different member of staff it could hit 5 stars although I'll stick to my 4 for the rudeness

Fabulous lunch, service, food! I had arranged lunch for 7 Fabulous ladies, from start to finish was seamless.. Liason with chef/staff ref menu choices.. Some of the highest standard food produced! Sensational .. Ladies had a fabulous say.. Highly recommend this establishment.. I shall be returning with more family & friends x

Excellent little cafe in Hemswell Antiques. Fabulous food & refreshments. Sensible money. Hemswell Antiques is a great place to visit, allow a whole day. Everything you’d ever wish to see.

Food is great but treatment of staff is atrocious, the staff are made up of students at the college who work without pay, makeing money for the restaurant. DO NOT TIP the money does not go to the kitchen staff, or waiter's

What a lovely find. The food was delicious & the staff were really helpful. We didn't know it was plant based but as I'm vegan it was perfect for me. My partner isn't vegan & he was raving about the curried tofu on flatbread.

My panini is not a panini and it's covered in flour. The food is basically edible and I could buy better frozen at the grocery shop. Waste of money

Little pub (like a 70's house really).. no longer doing food.. friendly staff .. Nice larger at a good price.. no car park
