The best restaurants in East Midlands

Food was delicious. Particularly enjoyed the primavera lasagne and also the Affogato dessert. Service was great, friendly and helpful.

A nice local cafe, we visited for breakfast, felt like a family owned place and staff work really hard to accommodate you. It was cash only, there was cash point next door, so be mindful before going. Food felt very homely, much needed before a day out exploring.

Amazing food amazing staff they are so kindly and helpfull the price is normal you have to taste mixed kebab thanks for everythng Fatos and İbo

Loved this place... Thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will definitely be coming back.

After being let down last minute for a birthday we called them to ask if it was possible to come and grab quite a few brownies from them, Dean went above and beyond to make some just for us, the brownies were better than we’ve ever tasted before, a variety of chocolate with different toppings that went down a treat. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using regularly.

Highly reccomend , we had the sharing platters and they were delicious , nice ambience and great service , looking forward to a return visit

Incredible personal warm welcome for a family celebration. This is an absolute hidden gem that needs to be recognised and given the credit it deserves. We had been for a Sicilian Sunday lunch and returned for pizza/pasta night to celebrate a significant anniversary confident that our friends and family would be blown away with the authenticity and quality of food on offer.They were not disappointed and we were as impressed with our return visit as we were our first. Thank you for a memorable night xxx

We have visited this little coffee shop multiple times now, more recently over the last couple of months. We did visit when it first opened on maybe two occasions, but have just started calling in again. Firstly if there was a GOOD on TA, I would have chosen this above average, however there isn't and I don't quite think this coffee shop is quite at very good level yet, although it could be. Positives first, it is a quaint little coffee shop, opposite the cinema which has parking. They offer a small but nice selection of breads and cakes. They also do very nice lattes. It is a quiet unassuming little spot, somewhat too quiet, which doesn't always shout out welcome. We have only come across a gentleman (possibly the owner) and a lady when visiting, both very cordial when we approached and ordered. Although I do have to say, they don't really engage in much conversation, and I have to agree with some points from a previous review. You don't necessarily expect any in depth or full blown conversations, but the atmosphere they create is very much akin to library staff environment. They aren't rude, yet aren't/don't come across as very friendly or welcoming. It's very robotic. I think more interaction and engagement with customers would be so much more welcoming and appealing to encourage customers to revisit or recommend their business. I would also have the music a 'little' louder when it is on. It hasn't always been on, or it's been so low you cannot hear it and the atmosphere is again, like a library, you can hear a pin drop. The above is not to criticise, just to give honest feedback on recent visits. Try it yourself and form your own opinions.

Amazing food served in a lovely village pub. Service is quick and staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere.

Sunday roast is fabulous. Last time i ate all the food before i took a photo. The food is freshly cooked and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and everything is clean. A happy sunday roast.

Went here on quick Saturday tea and breakfast round. Ended up spending much more time here, doing some work and brief reading. The place is nice, specious and busy. Good food and very nice staff. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and friendly service as always. You just can’t get better than Ruby’s and it doesn’t cost anymore than anywhere else.

A very welcoming small cafe with a big range of excellent appetising options. We separately sampled very tasty bacon and sausage cobs with equally good coffees. We saw the range of sandwiches and paninis, soups, and cakes available too. All these are home made in house. The locals clearly know it is the best around as it was busy with take aways too. We are tourists and will certainly come again when we are next in the area

Just the best evening, an amazing warm welcome, outstanding service and the food was just fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough, an absolute gem of a pub 🙏

A great supper on a hot summer's night in beautiful Stamford. Such delicious bread to start, pasta main and creme brule to follow. Thank you
