The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We revisited here after having Sunday lunch a couple of months ago (which was terrific) The service was warm friendly and lovely. The food was great. The apple crumble was to die for. We had a lovely time and the chap serving us went out of his way to make it a lovely experience. Really recommend here as that’s the 4th time we have been and everytime it’s been great

The Anchor is a top pub. Paul is world class bartender. Great vibes. Love the local feel and cold beers. Have a game of darts as well.

What a super village pub. Lovely location on the village green. Garden to the rear. Separate restaurant. Spotlessly clean, good ambience. I had the giant gammon steak with chips, pineapple, fried egg, large flat mushroom, onion ring, grilled tomato and salad, at £15.95 - it was giant, but also very high quality and cooked nicely. Wife had a pannini with cod goujons and salad, at £9.95 she enjoyed it. The three staff on duty were friendly and helpful. Five real ale pumps were in use. If only all village pubs could be as good as this.

Good proper pub. Music, pool table, darts.

We have been coming here for years on a regular basis. The food is always good. The service always prompt and they always make sure the dog is looked after. A firm favourite

Really nice pub. Couldn't believe how clean it was! Great bar stuff and delicious cocktails. Highly recommend if you're in the area

I am usually reluctant to write reviews but this place has consistently impressed me time and time again. I have tried Chinese takeaways all over Chesterfield and I finally found one that I thoroughly enjoy every time it is delivered. Local, quick delivery, always piping hot and fresh food, not too oily, not too dry, flavoursome and cooked beautifully. The chow mien noodles are brilliant and a personal favourite of mine. It’s also excellent value for the quality of food that you get, whereas other establishments are often very unaffordable but much less delicious. Highly recommend. Do not hesitate to order from Mai Hing, it’s delicious!

Traditional old pub in the city centre. Great atmosphere and beer. Several small bars and a larger one so you can choose your atmosphere.

A very lovely pub with great food!

Food was cold, staff spent more time in the back which was a nightmare when you have to order from the gluten free menu! They need to expand on the gluten free menu as you limit people so much. It's not their fault they have allergies!

Such a shame used to be a good reliable meal. Was poor 2 months ago but decided to give it another go. Was a mistake. Wife ordered signature burger and onion rings came out raw and then bit into the burger to find it totally raw and cold. I had the BBQ platter and cut into the chicken to find it cold all the way through and not cooked. The food was that poor would be surprised if there was a chef in the kitchen. Raw chicken is not just a mistake it's a health hazard discraceful.

Great service from Freddie who helped my girlfriend with her choice of drink as she didn’t know what to get and he recommended the perfect drink for her. Great experience all round will definitely be going back!

Very nice evening meal & great service
