The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Simply amazing and presentation is quite unique along with the food so good we had an evening meal but went back next day for Sunday lunch which is great value. Sadly no steak on the evening menu but they came up trumps to offer a sirloin steak out of the blue

In a high street dominated by chain cafe's and restaurants occasionally you find somewhere special. Luckily for us the usual suspects for a lunchtime coffee were all busy so we gave up and headed home, only to find this gem of a cafe. Small but spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, serving exceptional quality food and coffee at very reasonable prices. 2 full English breakfasts, we wasn't planning on these but saw another tables order and couldn't resist, 2 Cappuccinos and 2 cans of Coke, £20. The service was top notch by a lovely chap who not only took the orders but cooked the food and made the coffees. Deffo calling again.

Absolutely delicious breakfast and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend. We will be popping there again very soon.

We got our lunch from this lovely little place, excellent rolls with tasty fillings and with the tasty treats on offer we went back for some cake for afters.

Popped into Cafeness this morning for coffee. The owners were very friendly and the cafe was spotlessly clean. Although we only visited for morning coffee today we would have no hesitation in returning another time for something to eat.

Lovely little pub where you can sit m relax Staff are friendly Very clean and welcoming Cafe in day Bar at night Absolutely lovely

Called in for a sandwich and they were just closing up, said no problem and they allowed Millie our little Westie in too. Brought her some water and chicken which was very kind and served us our baguettes and drinks, which were delicious. No rush to close up, really good service, thank you.

Amazing experience. The food was first rate. A selection of tapas from the a la carte menu. Not the usual boring tapas but original options that were hearty tasty and great value. Additionally we had mains from the timeless classic menu. All in all the meal was excellent quality and coming over from Belgium I can honestly say that the service was one of the best I have had in the U.K.! I definitely want to return here.

Pretty nice place, nice to sit out in the sun though it's on a main road which was pretty busy. Resonable prices and a friendly place. Will go again.

We have been here many times and spent hundreds of pounds over the years but we won't be going again. We were celebrating our anniversary and booked in advance making it clear that one of the party is GF due to a severe allergy. We arrived to find one male server who clearly was unable to cope as he was doing the bar as well as serving on the tables. We had to sit in the bar to start without being offered a drink then were taken to our table but despite reiterating my allergy I was served gluten containing bread which I had to point out. It was taken away and replaced by molten GF bread followed swiftly by a sirloin steak in what purported to be a peppercorn sauce which, although tasty, contained lots of unexpected herbs and was extremely watery. We were asked if we wanted a side and were sold a cauliflower cheese which chef bought to our table pointing out that it contained GLUTEN!!! At no stage did anyone apologise for selling us a side that was totally inappropriate. Nor did they enquire if everything was satisfactory. When we came to leave a miserly 10% was knocked off the bill which included the gluten containing cauliflower cheese! You'd have thought the least they could do was subtract it from the bill but no they charged me for it! So in reality the 10% after subtracting the cost of the cauliflower cheese came to an allowance of less than 2 pounds! Needless to say I was not impressed and felt the servers paltry allowance for what he called the gluten fiasco was wholly inadequate and really added insult to injury.

Wow! Absolutely stunning food. The tasting menu is exceptional. Beautifully paced and balanced with fabulous wine parings. The atmosphere is perfect, relaxed but with a buzz of excitement expectation and delight from all the diners. Every course was packed with flavour and invention, visually appealing delightful eating and delicious fascination with the skill of the chefs. Front of house staff were attentive but unobtrusive creating a truly memorable evening. I can’t wait to dine here again . First class !!

Omg wonderful!! And what a plateful- not just mine, everyone's plat was brimming with deliciously concocted and beautifully presented food. You can tell it's a really popular place by the amount of regulars that came in during my visit and how well the staff new them- and how friendly everyone was. A great find, I'll definitely be back- and free parking right outside too! (And a bus stop very near)

From outside, you can see that Leddy's will provide an intimate dining experience. We both had the beef fillet with English squash, Hen of the woods (a mushroom), pulled cheek and Bordelaise sauce, with sides of harissa cabbage and Kombu fries. I was concerned about the harissa, but none of the flavours were overpowering, and the beef (both fillet and cheek) were superb. For dessert, I had the chocolate and banana torte, and my friend had the Pannacotta. She was delighted with this, and enjoyed the yuzu and lime flavours. The banana dessert was exceptional - I had expected it to be very sweet - both the torte and banana ice cream, but again the flavours were subtle. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Went for sunday lunch and pudding, absolutely lovely meal and staff was very friendly, will be going back

Came here with a friend we were visiting. Nice little tea room. Food is delicious and cooked fresh everyday. Having came here on our friends recommendation I certainly recommend this tea room. Made to feel very welcome. We took the last of the scones home to enjoy. I'd also like to recommend the luxury milkshake. That was really nice. The bacon brie and cranberry Panini is also a good choice.
