The best restaurants in East Midlands

Food was good, service by the staff was amazing as nothing was too much trouble, they catered for everything we asked for. Disappointed in that we had a wedding tea party which was pitched to us as a high end experience by the manager over and over again. On the day we were promised to deliver particular trays with glasses which were non existent. Luckily I didn’t rely on it and bought it from home as a back up. The tea was served in some cheap cold drink cups that were too big and were only half filled (not the best look) The idea of not getting what you paid for and the response from the manager wasn’t great. Although we settled thanked the team and left. Wouldn’t be arranging anything here for the future, clear differences in what a good high end experience looks like…!! Wouldn’t have an issue if it wasn’t pitched as high end. That being said staff on the day were brilliant.

Not being able to choose what you want to eat is just absolutely crazy and it was not good food to make it worth the risk. No amendments to anything allowed, even asking for a spicy curry as part of the whole tables sharer was denied for 14 people. Asked for a menu to order extra sides was told it wasn’t part of the sharer menu so couldn’t. I really feel for the server as she was doing everything she could to facilitate it but had to say “let me go and ask the chef” to something as simple as asking for a naan. Even after this parts of the set menu we were meant to get didn’t turn up and we had to tell them it was missing. Forced charity donation and forced 10% tip on your bill at the end of this and to top it off wouldn’t even tell us what was remaining on the bill after half the party had paid so we had to pay over, when I asked the sever how much total we had paid she just said “that’s perfect” so unknown how much we actually tipped them by the end of it. Servers were fantastic. Food, menu and chef absolutely terrible

Visited for a wedding reception. The Buffet was delicious. Service was good, staff were all helpful and friendly. Car parking isn't very well lit or explained. We read a review about getting a parking ticket so spent 20 minutes faffing about getting one. Only to realise we could just add our car registration at the bar for no fee

Feels like a mom n pop diner should feel, the shakes were amazing and so was the food although I only had a salad. The wife loved the cheesecake. I will visit again.

If I could have put zero review I would have, walked into premises today and apart from 2 people in the corner nobody else in, I was given a voucher bought for me for my birthday today and I could have walked in naked and the staff wouldn't have cared or noticed tbh! Went past the bar with my partner to find a table no hello good morning or acknowledgement at all in any way, staff at and behind the bar taking no notice, another couple walked in sat behind us again no acknowledgement, I thought this was and is disgusting to treat members of the public in this way, I do not any kind of freebies of any kind as I 100% will not be coming in again and will spend my gift in another S&L. DISAPPOINTED

Oh wow, the waffle fries are perfect 😍 the Mac 'n' cheese bites are great and the Mediterranean Lamb Burger is delicious.

Went here for valentines and the atmosphere was ok, however, despite there being alot of staff hanging around, it took nearly 45 minutes to get a starter and this was only because they came over to see if we wanted another drink. The food was servicable but the lamb was very overcooked and not tender and chicken was a little dry. They had set meals and for 2 it came to £85 + tip (which they automatically applied and did not deserve). Took about 2 hours to have a starter and main and it wasn't overly busy. Would not recommend and will not be going again

An absolutely beautiful venue in Nottingham city centre. The food and drink selection is varied with many vegan and gluten free options available. The food and drinks arrive well presented and always taste great. Cosy Club is a great place to stop for any meal, or a quick drink, whilst taking in a beautiful, period building.

Always great food, beer (plus non-alcoholic options) and service!

Nice food plus top service 100% I would go again 👍

Portion sizes 5 and delivery/driver 5* however I felt slightly disappointed with the food. I ordered garlic rice which wasn’t garlicy at all, neither was the naan. Onion bhajis tasted like they’d been fried then left a while, fried and left a while, then fried again. I ended up leaving majority of my meal and feeling as hungry as I was before:( sorry

Vinimos para una noche de citas especial para celebrar nuestro aniversario. Tuvimos bebidas en la terraza, que era encantador, el servicio era lento, sin embargo, estábamos bastante relajados al respecto. Estábamos un poco abrumados por la comida, creo que porque históricamente el lugar ha tenido tan buena reputación que esperábamos más. Es triste que este lugar ha cerrado, pero en base a nuestra experiencia probablemente no habríamos regresado.

Professionally served by the friendly Hannah who found us a table within 15mins. Very good fish and chips and a garden plot medley salad with roasted butternut squash. Lively atmosphere and wonderful views across the rolling Nottinghamshire countryside from the rear of the pub. We come up to the Travellers Rest frequently for lunch or evening meal and are never disappointed.

Café de buen sabor servido por personal amable. Servicio razonablemente rápido también. Me impresionó particularmente que me preguntaran si tenía alergias alimentarias, antes de ordenar. Conozco otros lugares donde hay avisos destacados sobre alergias, pero que yo recuerde, ¡esta fue la primera vez que me preguntaron específicamente! Las mejores notas.

Excellent service, Polite and friendly Chicken was dry and overcooked
