The best restaurants in East Midlands

Popped in to have a pint and exchange Christmas presents with a friend. Lovely pub with welcoming staff, good beer and a classic village pub feel. Going back today 😁.

Really good location, good food and friendly staff! Good prices using quality ingredients. Simple menu done well. Would like to see a few more lunch options but this isn’t a complaint. Chicken Siracha burger was spot on and the chips were perfect! Will be back!

Called in on way home for a Sunday lunch and what a Sunday lunch it was .. Totally delicious 😋 loads of veg , plenty of meat which was beautiful & very tender . Meats on today were , Pork , Beef & Turkey. Out of our party all meats were tried and not one was disappointing at all , all lots of flavour and nice and tenderly cooked . Staff very pleasant. Facilities very clean and spotless , lovely decor . Will definitely be visiting again . Thankyou for making our Sunday lunch a beautiful fulfilling tasty meal . Truly was amazing 👍x

Brilliant service, food excellent. Recommended to all families and couples. Excellent ingredients and fresh experience

Called in to this little tea room just off the Main Street in Castleton. Lovely place, greeted by a very friendly lady. After much deliberation we chose two cakes and a pot of tea. Cakes were delicious and the pot of tea came with a pot of hot water all served in white china...perfect. Would definitely recommend.

What a great breakfast took some eating served by lovely polite staff , true value for money will be back .Well done to Carl Sally and the team.

Such a cozy place, and the atmosphere was very warming. Very welcoming service, food was delicious. I had chicken in a mushroom sauce and it was lovely.

Excellent selection of vegan cakes that are so tasty! Various plant-based milk alternatives are available at no additional cost. Great coffee, cake, staff, and ambience…and it helps support Open Hands, a local charity. Recommend stopping off for a coffee here and you won’t be disappointed.

Another fantastic experience at Loughborough College restaurant. The Guest Chef events are great value too. The food and service last night was some of the best you'll find in Leicestershire. It's great to see the students in a working environment. Holly was excellent, pouring our drinks and clearing our plates whilst interacting with us in a professional but friendly manner. As was James who carved our pork main course at the table, They both won't struggle to find work when their courses end. All the students are a credit to their lecturers and the college.

The food is excellent. The service excellent. The restaurant very clean. The prices spot on. Have now been several times and look forward to going again.

We visited today, Friday lunchtime, and it was full which speaks volumes for the reputation of the restaurant and college. We ordered the carvery and Holly was brilliant carving the meat and Cameron who was our waiter looked out for us. The food was lovely, we really enjoyed our desserts of sticky toffee pudding & chocolate brownie, which were bought to us in good time. Would definitely recommend and we'll be back! Well done to all the students & staff who support them!

Had Sunday lunch. Food was beautifully cooked, no frills just a good honest value for money lunch. We ate everything, superb . Hosts very friendly and accommodating. We will be back.

Change of plan this time, no main course then not enough room for cake. Coffee and cake only this time. Just as full and satisfied when we had finished. PERFECT.

Having enjoyed Gareth's food when he was at Winteringham Fields, we were keen to visit his own restaurant...suffice to say we were not disappointed....serving Michelin level fine dining in a cool, relaxed atmosphere with terrific staff....and great value for money...sure to be back soon
