The best restaurants in East Midlands

First time visiting, I went because it said dogs welcome so me and my little dog went. It’s a community restaurant I think, so don’t expect swanky surroundings, but it’s a beautiful building inside, and lovely staff. I had the big full English. Two sausages, two slices of bacon, black pudding, gorgeous mushrooms, hash brown, baked beans, two perfectly cooked fried eggs, and buttery toast. That and a fancy coffee , £12.50. Best full English I have eaten in a long time.

Sorry to say but food was horrible

We visited here on Tuesday after it had been recommended by some locals. We weren't disappointed. I had steak, which was succulent and cooked to perfection. My mum had the honey glazed salmon, it wasn't a huge piece but she enjoyed every mouthful and the...

This is a lovely pub but you pay well over the odds for your drinks compared to other local pubs you will pay over a £1 more per pint. This I wouldn't mind but the last couple of times I have been the pub has been ice cold with no heating also opening hours are very restricted and very little option on food

Normalmente salíamos a almorzar el viernes, pero esta semana, nuestros restaurantes habituales estaban llenos. Algo desinflado, de camino a casa pasamos por el León Rojo en Huncote y decidimos pasar por allí. Para nuestro asombro, la comida era absolutamente delicioso, comida casera real y precios muy razonables. El personal era muy amable y el ambiente del pub rezumó. No podemos creer que hayamos pasado por este pub durante más de 30 años y nunca lo hayamos probado. Sin duda volveremos.

Linda cafetería en Lenton con muy cerca de la vivienda de estudiantes y no lejos de la Universidad Muy buena comida, sin embargo, la comida no es realmente lo que podría ser

El sábado por la tarde y pensé que le daríamos una oportunidad, precios absolutamente fantásticos. Pescado pequeño, patatas fritas y una salsa £ 5 , mediana £ 7 . 50 y grandes £ 9. 90 . La comida era preciosa y una gran porción, sentado fuera bajo el toldo. Volveré.

Always friendly and always great tasting coffee and cakes. Every village needs somewhere like this. They deserve to be successful.

The food was fresh and tasty. We both had the gyros which were excellent. Great service and yummy cocktails. It was a lovely evening. We will be returning

Enquired about my dog and advised dog friendly but no longer does food so makes any reviews a little academic

Lovely Tea rooms, nice choice of food which was hot and delicious. Staff very accommodating and friendly.

Had a bacon and egg cob, was cooked to how I wanted it. The cobs are fresh and large, the bacon was really nice and tasty and the egg was delicious with a very orange yoke which I like to see. Will definitely be visiting again.

It’s always been one of the best curry’s we’ve ever had, but they seem to have stepped it up recently. The chicken tikka is just so tasty and with my favourite sides, saag paneer and brinjal bhaji 🤤 Delivery is always quick and the food piping hot.

I visited Culaccino on Saturday the same day as Daventry xmas market and was extremely disappointed with the service. We were greeted by 2 young girls,neither of which said hello or anything. We sat down and weren't sure if anyone would bring a menu over to us or not. I tried to get the attention of the girls but they blatantly ignored us. After finding our own menu and ordering we waited 35 mins for 2 waffles only to get them chucked on the table and when I asked for cutlery one of the young girls gave the biggest sigh as If I had just massively inconvenienced her. Would also like to point out there were only 3 other tables at the time. There was another table but they were so fed up with waiting they left. Most of the tables had dirty plates or cups on and out of the 3 girls not one of them decided to clear them. We waited about 20 mins for someone to clear out table of dirty cups. In fact a gentleman on the table next to us went up to order (his table had leftover plates on not yet cleared) He asked at the till how big a large latte was to which the girl responded with 'if you look at the dirty cup on your table its the same size as that'. There was also a lack of hygiene. I was watching the girls make toasties and after touching the Ham and meat to go into the toasties they both then proceeded to touch and make the waffles which were then served to us... without washing their hands after handling meat! As someone who works in hospitality this was by far the most shocking thing I saw. It was evident the manager wasn't there, but I suggest that you make sure your staff are fully trained in customer service and especially food hygiene before leaving them to run the shop.One of the girls had long blonde hair which was tied up but most of it was dangling down the front. As we were finishing up another girl arrived to work and tied her hair up being the counter right over the food that another girl was preparing. One table complained that a small side plate was dirty, the girl with blonde hair took it into the pot wash area... I could see form where I was sat that she didn't put it in the dishwasher but instead wiped it with blue roll and gave it back to the man! I am sure when the manager/owner Is here things are different but I certainly will not be returning and have told others to avoid unless they want unhygienic and rude service. I never even write trip advisor reviews but in this case I felt it was essential.

Dropped in last week during a walk. Nice sausage sarnie and a coffee. Decided a revisit today Sunday 12th march during a bike ride. Not open. I suppose it could be for many reasons such as illness, but it was still a pain as this was a planned refuel stop.
