The best restaurants in East Midlands

If you can put up with Debbie does Dallas, then this is your place. Proper grub, proper decent pricing and always a good laugh.

What a fantastic place!! So relaxing and very welcoming, no rush, stay as long as the mood takes you. The coffees are fabulous, served in delightful tin mugs!! There’s a huge range to choose from too. Paul the owner is lovely, he has gone to a lot of trouble to make this little coffee shop something really special, away from the norm. As others have said lots of board games, books, craft on sale etc, as well as themed mornings, such as the crime book club or the gin club in the evenings. There are also evenings designed to help with relaxation. This place is truly inspirational. You won’t find bacon butties or sausage rolls here, but you will find some home made cakes to tempt your taste buds!!

My husband says if he wasn’t married he would be with this lady 🤣🤣. Truly amazing brownies!!!

Finkins recently made me some platters of food for a get together I had recently. Everything was fresh & delicious. The portions were generous and incredible value. I will be using them again to cater for any events I have in the future. 100% recommend. Cannot wait to actually sit in the cafe and enjoy a coffee and cake soon too!!!

The best white pudding and chips around. Not a bit dry and perfect batter. My husband had cod. It was perfect. Plenty of parking too.

best in town all day breakfast and it is very filling. good service and you don't have to wait too long before your food arrives.

Absolutely delicious pizzas!! My friend and I went for lunch on our work break and will definitely be going again. The best pizzas we have tasted in Leicester ;-)

Absolutely fantastic food, catering for all individuals with preferences (vegetarian, pescatarian), friendly service as always! Nothing is ever too much trouble, we were even allowed to decorate the table how we wanted.

We went to Spalding on this lovely sunny morning to the market. The wonderful and very special Carillon was playing, ringing out across the market place and we popped into the Café on the Square inside the South Holland Centre for a coffee and a late breakfast. Well, nearly lunch! (Breakfast is served until 12 noon). We both had a breakfast brioche. Lincolnshire sausage patty layered with bacon and topped with a fried egg in a large and very delicious brioche bun. Probably not the sort of breakfast for every day (!) but super tasty for a treat - the food was lovely, the staff were so pleasant and helpful and the coffee was very good too. Thank you Courtney and Mike and Bailey. And it was very reasonably priced. You can sit in this 1st floor café and look out over the market place and people watch to your hearts content. Go on - treat yourself to good food, great coffee and a nice relaxing time in The Café on the Square.

What can I say about Grandma's pudding it is one of a kind. So warm and welcoming. The food is just amazing as are the cakes. The staff are lovely and friendly 😁

Brilliant coffee shop, 200 degrees coffee Limited but good menu, clean tidy and was easy to park Loved watching the water skiing too

Brilliant and friendly pub. Me and my mates had a great time visiting when we came for a weekend away. Location was ideal for us as it was a very short walk from where we were staying.

Been going to this cafe for years now and never fails to please! lovely freshly tasty food and extremely well priced. Best local cafe in all the local villages

Just had a lovely evening watching the everlasting fireworks and bonfire well done to every one just another good night thank you
