The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

The restaurant menu was very sparse. The quality and presentation of the food was poor. Having complained about this at the same hotel in past nothing happened then and I doubt it will now. The only reason that Iate there was the meal deal otherwise I could have gone to McDonalds.

We ate breakfast here. Cooked to order eggs were available and I got a large omelette which was filling. Nicely done hash browns, croissants were lovely. I liked the quality of the food and the friendly service.

Having recently moved into the area we decided to try the local Chippy as we had heard it was under new management. What a treat. The fish was delicious, chips were thick and chunky and both were freshly cooked while we waited. Will definitely be back for more! There is no phone number for them at the moment but were told this was in hand. No hesitation in recommending. Friendly staff.

Been before, had a takeaway. Was quite nice. Decided to take my partner and 6 month old baby for lunch. Got there at 1pm on a Saturday, the place is open serving people. For us to be turned around and told us the kitchen is closed but coffee is still being served. Turned down another customer behind us with the same answer. I would have thought a little coffee shop would have open arm invited us for food too if we wanted. 2x customers with a possibility of spending what £20 each? So because they couldn’t be arsed to cook some food they lost £40 of business! Yet they sit there with outdated decor and quite a dull appearance. Get some effort put in jeez!

Not the friendliest welcome from the bloke behind the bar. Objected to the behaviour of one of the other guests in the bar who had a Labrador off lead who became very rude when his dog was worrying my Jack Russell, who was on his lead. I don’t like been sworn at, so the whole experience was terrible. Don’t have their “coke” either it’s just coloured water tasting of cleaning fluid. I’d rather go thirsty than ever visit that pub again.

Brilliant service...loved fuel bar and orange juice ...staff good...good ambience ....I did take away ...I would highly recommend

Myself and my 2 best friends had wonderful afternoon tea here yesterday celebrating my friends 50th birthday The birthday girl has quite complex allergies and the chef worked hard to make sure there were many non-allergenic delights for the birthday girl and all the food was absolutely delicious and looked so prettily presented. All staff were lovely, friendly and kind, but very professional and courteous and an absolute credit to Dower House Dower House itself is so beautiful, set in woodland and surrounded by beautiful blooms. The room we were in was just perfect….elegant & sophisticated but not too over the top as to make us uncomfortable, also the door was open into the courtyard so we had a gentle breeze flowing through the room which was perfect for us menopausal ladies! 😂 In a nutshell we all had an amazing time and needed to have an afternoon nap to combat the sugar coma we were in! I can’t recommend this place enough

We picked the Waterbridge for my Mum's wake after it being recommended and we were not disappointed. Annette was extremely helpful from start to finish. Premises are lovely, food was absolutely great, so friendly and welcoming. They made a difficult time and day so much easier. Thankyou x

We went to White horse holiday park in Mettheringham near Lincoln. I took both my daughters (15 & 10) and it’s such a peaceful pretty location. Well decorated 2 bedroom lidge with hot tub & central heating! Spacious bathroom with lovely powerful shower. Nice and clean. Curtains in every window. Comfortable bed. Extra bedding if needed (but it wasn’t warm enough)! It is extremely remote …. About 20 mins from the shop so make sure you take enough snacks. There’s a bowling alley 20 mins away (Hollywood bowl) a mini golf and axe throwing, escape rooms & warehouse near lincoln which was fun (25 mins ish drive)! Enjoyable stay, comfy & clean. Food was good at the pub (white horse inn) Thai & English food with a pool table.Good selection of spirits, beers & wines too … enjoyable atmosphere. Good amount of crockery and cutlery, washing up Liquid, dishwasher tablet, tea towel etc …. Didn’t need anything other than food and drink. We enjoyed our stay. Thankyou.

We have been to Applebys 5 times this spring and summer. Every time the staff have been friendly and helpful. Only one of those times the queue was out the front door but it was a Sunday and a super hot day so it was expected. We’ve always found a table and enjoyed trying all the different flavours. The children have enjoyed going on the little park and playing on the field across the road. There are plenty of picnic tables there too. The biggest thumbs up for us though is that they offer gluten free cones, brownies and waffles so our celiac daughter can enjoy a treat too and not have the feel left out at all!

We came here on a Sunday lunch with the family. The eatery is true to its name, it’s definitely eccentric. The decor is whimsical with nods to Alice In Wonderland and Harry Potter. It’s quite a small place but it’s spread over two floors. The music can be slightly grating after a while but you soon zone it out. The majority of our party had the Tiddley Tea and we sure got tiddley after it! The cocktails are strong and served in cute tea pots. The food was tasty and had a great selection, and served in a traditional afternoon tea style. The food itself is prepared in house, so a deposit is needed if you make a booking. They also have special events throughout the year. I believe they get booked up pretty quickly so make sure you book in advance. Overall, a quirky place, with good food. It’s exactly what Northampton needs. Something different with a unique approach.

This Pub was owned by another Brewery decades ago, hasn't changed much over the years, a small local business. Used to be known for Rosie's Pies. Is in a residential area, with a car park bit hidden round the back of other gardens. Faces a village green. Been in a few times over the past 30+ years, and has been quiet for a while, especially since Covid. Can't comment on food as I didn't think they did any. Closed at the moment. A nice little pub for locals.

Vine aquí un par de veces y fue genial! Incluso se compraron leche de soya y especialmente para mí ya que tenía se acabó.Sin embargo, ha cerrado y en su lugar es de Mama Amor espagueti' exy (sí estoy en serio). Decepcionado por decir lo mínimo.

Recently had new landlord and landlady. Smartened the place up alot and very approachable. Great food ales and staff. Surroundings are top notch.

Really lovely place. We are visiting from Devon and stopped here for breakfast before heading to Alton Towers and had a great visit. Really helpful and friendly staff and tasty food
