The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We visited today and ordered a bacon roll , toasted sandwich and asked for a children’s beans on toast or dish of beans for a one year old. All they could offer was a set menu of children’s bean on toast , normal (sharp) crisps a fruit shoot and sweets for £4.95 . The later 3 items no use to a one year old . The menu needs a re think to accommodate younger children . Not good value for money either , bacon roll in a stale roll for £4.95 !! Won’t be returning , poor value , no atmosphere !!

Understocked farm shop with a cafe .Nice premises but warmed up food .pie was warmed up in the microwave so soggy pastry ..Shame this place used to be buzzing but items not even priced and when you ask they are expensive .Big menu but 4 items had run out .Shame.

I visited the half moon with a friend on a girls night out. On arrival to the half moon my friend went inside while I finished my cigarette. While waiting a young man was being escorted out of the building to which he then punched the pub window and then a girl. I looked at the doorman and ask if he was going to help her to which was replied 'no it's his girlfriend' I continued to smoke my cigarette to then be approached by another doorman that rubbed both his hands up and down my LV handbag that I was holding!! He then walked away saying 'that's a fake!!' To which I replied 'there is nothing fake about me' he then called me a racist which I found highly offensive and he took a picture of me on his phone?! I am sincerely disgusted in the experience of my 5 minutes outside this 'family' pub. We was finally given plastic cups to carry drinks my friend had gone inside to buy and drank them walking down a road which again I'm not sure is professional or even allowed in the uk law. I have tried to contact the manager of the pub but the contact number on google does not work so hopefully he can see from this review what customers must be experiencing if these ordeals all happened in such a short space of time.

Bar staff brilliant apart from one. Young woman who apparently thinks she is a manager is extremely rude and talks to customers like they are dirt.

Met with son in a warm but private enviroment for a lovely meal. Lin, Olivia and Jake were excellentr and attentive to our needs.

Went to the Fox with 5 friends (couples). This pub is close to home however we dont tend to go in there often. The night started well, drinks were flowing and we were having a good time. We overheard one of the bar staff asking for illegal substances, one of the group made a passing comment, and another lady (presumably the owners wife) stormed upto the table stating she'd be "watching us like a hawk". We calmly explained that we thought she was directing her hawk like vision at the wrong group and maybe she should assemble her nest a tad closer to home... She was clearly and unfortunately intoxicated herself (professional for working behind a bar, I know) and demanded that we must leave after our next drink. Despite working behind the bar, she was outside drinking and smoking most the night, one of the group asked her friends for a lighter, to which her and her group said "do not answer"- as if we werent human or present. We are local people and felt personally attacked by the lady's mannerisms . Especially baring in mind she was a senior member of staff (owners wife!) We put plenty of hard earned money in the pub tonight and were left feeling like criminals, we even volunteered to be searched to prove our innocence, which was promptly refused. All we wanted was a few nice drinks at our local pub for a change and were left feeling like outsiders by individuals (staff) who are clearly incapacitated and incapable of deciphering between drug users and young working class persons trying to enjoy a drink. At the end of the night I went to talk to the actual owner about how we'd been treated, expecting some clarity and lord forgive me for asking but perhaps an apology. Baring in mind this man is supposed to own several pubs, he seemed to have absolutely nil sense of customer service and even though he wasnt in the pub most of the night night was talking to me like I was in the wrong, solely due to his intoxicated wife (staff member) giving him an extremely one sided version of events - which were totally incorrect. One of our group didn't appreciate the way he spoke to me, and was rude back - as anyone with a backbone would be after the way we were treated tonight. He raised his voice and declared us all barred, despite me talking to him politely and calmly, all he was worried about was that he'd had a long drive, not that us as a group have lives, problems, and jobs too. Its unfortunate that a pub in such a good location treats its local punters so poorly after spending a small fortune in their unkept pub. Other than us, there were two people in the pub - I now understand why. I appreciate there are two sides to every story, however other bar staff have since said we were treated unfairly and that the owner and wife were extremely rude to us as a group. Its disgusting and people like this should not be running a pub. Until new ownership is found we wouldn't dream of returning even if the man (who'd through no fault of ours had a long drive) thought with a level head for a second and decided to unbar us. We are young couples who felt discriminated against through totally poor judgement tonight and what was supposed to be a great night out with friends for a change has been morphed into a poor display of total incompetence by its own owners. This pub is always closing down/re-opening and with owners as such it would come as no suprise to happen again. Hope new ownership comes and we can make the Fox a proper local.

The cakes looked so good from the window. Went in and asked for cornflake slice and a frangipani. The young man didn’t listen to me because when I got home there was no cornflakes slice. So disappointed.

Great Sunday Roast. A hidden gem in Bakewell. Promoting local produce and local craft ales. Very friendlybar and serving staff. Cross the river by the lovelock bridge to find the Farmers Feast. Excellent value.

Staying in the area for a week and always like to try the local village pub. This one has to be one of the best, especially for food. Had lunch on Saturday absolutely amazing pork belly tapas with fries plus mac n cheese and went back the same evening for specialty burger plus a grilled garlic chicken all things worthy of a 10 out of 10 some of the best food ever tasted. Add to that very reasonable prices lovely staff friendly locals and impeccably clean toilets. Wish this pub was in our home town

Han estado aquí varias veces y solemos ir a mediados de semana para comer y beber. La comida siempre es perfecto ya sea hamburguesas o pizza y hacen una oferta por £19. 99 para dos personas que incluye una botella de Prosecco y dos platos principales, no estoy seguro de cuánto tiempo la oferta es por eso. Recomiendo encarecidamente consigues a la mecha!

We were in Clayworth and needed somewhere for lunch. This is very pleasant and dog-friendly English country pub. Excellent sandwiches - I recommend the Brie and bacon.

This is the nicest Sunday roast I have had out for a good few years. Food beautiful and Sue & Gary are hilarious and can't do enough for you. Great portion size and great atmosphere. This is just how a village pub should be, great job guys.

Fabulous tearoom but the menu is mainly sandwiches and cakes , no hot food was available that I could see. Great hospitality though in a great setting.

Chips were ok, as was the curry sauce and mushy peas. The fish was another story! Greasy, the fish was mushy and grey. I would be ashamed to serve that! The worse fish we have ever had.
