The best restaurants in East Midlands

 This was another surprise for us. Nice, down to earth feel that we stumbled upon with quirky decorations and great priced drinks. Dog friendly, even on a Saturday evening, we sank into the leather sofas and relaxed, full of food and wine. Great find and we will be back, especially when they have live music on!

Fantastic to be able to book a table for 8 in advance, great service, we didn’t feel rushed at all. The food was excellent. We will definitely visit again.

Went to this place for a family meal for 13. Had to order a week in advance and person on the phone was unhelpful and queries via email not responded to. We were seated at a table already laid out and a tight squeeze for 12 adults and one child. Food was brought out in dribs and drabs ,so much so, one person had actually finished their first course before the last meal arrived. The food itself was hit and miss with several of us complaining about the standard offered. What was most irksome was watching bar staff and presumably some duty manager having a water fight around the bar yards from where we were seated! Not very professional , or safe , I am sure the owner's would have been mortified to see this.

Eaten and drank here many times now along with my husband and cannot fault it, the food is delicious and drinks always cold and refreshing and they have a good selection of food/drinks, free WiFi, sports on the tele and the staff are always friendly and easy to have a natter to, 100% my fav spot to eat in Bingham ❤️

I called by for a quick breakfast sandwich takeaway before work. I wanted to spend at a local independent business and try somewhere new. I wish I hadn’t picked here… I ordered a sausage sandwich for £3 and chucked it straight in the bin after one bite. Chewy microwaved pre-cooked sausages on cheap white bread with a measly bit of ketchup. I wouldn’t even pay 50p for that. The owners should be ashamed of this… if this is the usual standard of food I’d expect them to be closed down soon.

Spotted from the car park and decided to stop for a coffee. There was some seating outside so perfect for anyone with dogs. It was a beautiful spring day so we also decided to have some cakes and a cheese scone. I have to say the cakes were fab and the cheese scone was the best I have ever had. Can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommended.

Sunday carvery is beautiful and the staff where fantastic 😍 👏

Exceptional service from Charlie's on the hill, big thanks to both Charlie and Deborah who supplied the sandwich platters for our dad's wake. They also delivered to the venue which saved us a lot of stress on a difficult day for us. Sandwiches exceeded our expectations being very fresh and plenty of varied fillings which suited vegetarian guests also. Very good value for money, would certainly recommend. Thankyou, Lynn, Karen and Chris

Every takeaway we have had from here has been fantastic - far better than the others we have tried in the area. The staff are friendly on the phone, and reasonably priced too. Just wish you were open on Sunday! ❤️

I have visited frequently in the past and have recommended the cafe to others. On this occasion I met friends for coffee and cakes and sat outside. Unfortunately, on this occasion I feel, who I believe to be the owner, let the establishment down. She approached a table next to us and started speaking in a very loud voice, which I believe was purposely done to embarrass the family seated, and accused an older child of flooding the bathroom. I had been waiting outside the toilets, and noticed the child go in and a couple of minutes later leave. The toilets were not flooded in that time. After a few minutes the owner once again returned to their table and started having another go, she accused the child of yanking the tap and breaking it, she then stormed off. I spoke to the family, who were mortified, and I pointed out that the child would not be bone dry if they had done what they was accused of. The owner had no interest in listening and made it a very uncomfortable experience.

Visited here for lunch on a long bike ride today. The staff were lovely and let us take our bikes through the back gate so we could see them whilst we ate. Excellent service and very tasty baguettes. Perfect lunch spot, would highly recommend!
