The best restaurants in East Midlands

Proper boozer type pub. Sports on TV, pool table, good atmosphere. And VERY cheap

I visited with my family for breakfast recently and was very impressed with the food, drinks, service and the price. I look forward to going back.

Chilled with good beer and tranquil garden

Lovely management, staff are so nice friendly put your hand up they come to serve you at your table, good atmosphere good day/night out,,,

I enjoyed the food , thanks for the order.

We chose this pub for a Saturday lunchtime family celebration, as some of us live in the south and others in the north, and it was half way between the different locations. We have done the same before, and the food was lovely then, and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. On this occasion, both were even better. The food was excellent, our waitress understood the importance of the meal to our family, and we were extremely well looked after as a result. The Reindeer is unassuming on the outside, but the staff and the food make it a gem on the inside!

Amazing food amazing staff and great value . This has to be most perfect place for Dog lovers or not just perfect for everybody. Prices for Ashbourne just unbelievable. 5 star on all fronts

Fabulous food. Had the platter for two and everything was brilliant. Will be back.

Had breakfast here while in the area visiting family. Amazing breakfast….will definitely eat here again when we’re in the area. Great food, lovely place and really friendly staff. Would definitely recommend …looking forward to coming back xx

Great customer service and fantastic food with quality, highly recommended

Beautiful pub and drink. Would've been better if barmaid wasn't on her phone and took a bit more interest in her customers and smiled

Eventually found it and guess what it don't exist

Great food atmosphere was very good even the chief came out to check on us and see if we needed anything else we have booked in for Sunday dinner tomorrow will differently be going back. For a meal again

We attended a "teach yourself" painting course at the Cricketers. It was great.

Me and my husband came here for lunch and it was delicious. My husband ordered the mussels but these weren’t available, the chef came out and offered an alternative (that wasn’t on the menu) which was really nice! The starter & mains we both had were wholesome & tasted amazing… We’re definitely coming back!
