The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Got looked after by a lovely waitress Hannah Very professional courteous and helpful, nothing was to much trouble.

Sweet chilli fries are just chips with sauce on. Burger was just cheap factory made burger. Onion rings weren’t cooked properly. Just your average Tesco Coleslaw.

If you fancy a quiet beer this is not the place for you. Full of loud students shouting over each other. Staff are nice though.

We had fish chip and pie chips Very hot no grease and tasty and good portions would go again.

I had an amazing pizza and Long Island cocktails which were served by a lovely ladies named Nakai and Donna. Great service, great atmosphere and I met some amazing folks 🥰. The place also has card games, bingo and does live music. 🎶

Great place for pre and post Saints visits!

Lovely garden centre, good quality plants. Has a good range of garden furniture, and fancy goods.

Brilliant value for money Sunday Lunch. Reasonably priced, generous portions and a good variety of veg. It came out to us quickly, but was cooked well, and tasted great!

Stopped by The Railway pub in Buxton for a solo dinner. I was pretty tired from a hike and stopped to refuel and recharge before the walk home. I ordered the 8 oz rump steak, which came with a supporting cast of mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, beer-battered onion rings, peas, and chips for £19.95 (1192 kcal). I threw in a bitter shandy for good measure, bringing the total to £24.20. The food arrived faster than a speeding train (*1st Railway joke), and the pub wasn’t too busy, which was a relief. My server, Paula, was attentive, though she seemed to be quite busy. The steak was cooked as I requested—rare, just as I like it, it was perfect. A carnivore’s delight! The mushrooms, however, were a bit of a fungi fail, a small portion, but the rest of the meal made up for it. As for the bitter shandy, well, it’s a shandy. What more can I say? The free Wi-Fi was a nice touch, allowing me to enjoy my podcast in peace, as I ate. Overall, it was delightful, and I might just choo-choo-choose (*2nd Railway joke) to return! It's worth a visit.

Fantastic little pub, cosy atmosphere, staff were friendly and professional. Great menu with lots to choose from, food was cooked well and very tasty, best meal I've had out in a long time.

Excellent staff and atmosphere 👏

Fantastic meal freshly made all staff were lovely made to feel very welcome we were on holiday in the area we highly recommend and reasonably priced

Our third trip to the White Lion who always deliver particularly with the food. Having previously enjoyed the fish and chips, this time I found the mixed grill awesome! I would also recommend enjoying a dessert. We will of course be returning. Great music and relaxed atmosphere. My wife picks the curry every time!

Lovely country pub, you need to be hungry as food portions are large. Clean, good service, food was freshly cooked, well presented and very tasty. Garlic mushrooms a must! We then had steak with all trimmings and vegetable lasagne. Finished with fresh strawberries and cream

Fabulous...Jordon the chef is a legend best carvery ever... knocks tobys socks off 🌟 👍
