The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Just been for lunch with my friend and was served by Jordan who was the perfect host.. Had a fabulous experience and wonderful food. Definitely be back again.

AVOID EATING HERE. Ate here last night with the family. The whole experience was awful. Slow and painful service despite there being about 7 people eating in the place. Food was very poor. Had to remind the waiter to even bring our bread. Took an age for the food to arrive. When it did arrive the beef was overcooked and tasted burnt. The burger at 16 pounds was robbery. The most basic burger with limp pale tasteless tomatoes, no salad and fries that were clearly overcooked and brittle. How can you get fries wrong? The cake for dessert was old and very dry, my 9 year old child can cook a better sponge. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere

Nice pub with good staff. Pulled a decent Guinness

Really great food in the restaurant,

We came to the Yeoman after the funeral of a family member. Anwen looked after us really well and guided us when choosing a suitable buffet for everyone, including those on a gluten free diet. The buffet was just what we wanted, thank you to all those involved.

First time been here for a drink. No doubt great service, good drinks and very nice atmosphere. Seatings inside and outdoor. I prefer to enjoy outside because of nice weather. Hope making it my regular one when next around.

Had 2 small lunches, very good value for the money. Very attentive and friendly, will definitely visit again 🤓

Called into the Crispin today for lunch after a good walk around Ashover, lunch was absolutely outstanding , undoubtedly the best burger I've had , staff were super friendly couldn't do enough, provided water for my dogs without being asked , absolutely amazing pub in a stunning location, will definitely be returning, highly recommend a visit 😀

Visited this pub a month ago for drinks with family, thought it looked a nice place to eat so booked a table for two for this evening. Waited 1.5 hours for food, food arrived too hot to eat, very dry, looked like been sitting on the service pass for 30 mins… staff were apologetic regarding the wait, but blamed onrush of diners ( there were just 12 people at tables when we arrived), for the delays, suggesting kitchen was ‘overwhelmed’… I’m not a moaner, genuinely, but I do believe in constructive feedback (I encourage this from my own staff and customers), so…. Opportunities to improve: - Train front of house staff in customer service, specifically when delays may be an issue. - Offer clients concessions and/or free drinks if kitchen is experiencing delays (of course avoid delays in the first place). These two simple improvements would improve customer experience significantly. We will avoid for food, but will definitely call in for drinks in the future.

I stayed here overnight in my camper. The food and beer was really good and the Landlady was lovely.

Great food. Gets busy at the weekends so make sure you book. The restaurant is ran by a separate group from the main bar so at the end of your meal you get two bills, one for your food, one for your drinks. Both equally great service received every time so far... Enjoy! Still good.... just went for a couple of drinks, love this place.

Booked for my birthday very dissapointed, freezing cold, smells of damp toilet seats all loose smells of fusty damp ceiling taped up looks ready to fall down had to leave sorry couldn't stay and eat there menu was restricted any way. Definately won't be returning

First time eating here since the new landlords came in. Came for Sunday roast. Food was excellent. Beautifully presented, delicious & plenty off it Price was a little above average for this area but it was worth every penny. Thoroughly recommended.

Beware, there be dragons. Went for a quick pint here after being in the sun pub down the road. Worlds different, the staff in the sun were nice, the vibe was cracking, great music, then walked into the desperate joy void that is the crown. Don't go. The landlady was like a bulldog chewing a wasp. It is no wonder the place is tumbleweed. I felt as welcome as a fart in a lift. Just save yourself the grief, go to the sun. Ye have been warned

I have some very bad news for you!! I knew that the Trop will be imploded on October 9, 2024 at 2:30 AM, very early in the morning. I heard that the implosion date changed twice, initially it was October 2 at 2 AM, then changed to October 8, also at 2 AM. Then it changed once again to the final date! Prior to the implosion, there will be fireworks and a drone show. On April 2, 2024 (right after April Fools' Day), the Trop closes its doors for good (not an April Fools joke) at noon, 2 days before its 67th anniversary. I know the Trop was a 67 year old hotel. The Trop is the third oldest casino on the Strip and also one of the few remaining casinos during the city's mob era. The Trop is my favorite hotel. Before the implosion, the demo crew took about 5 months to dismantle the hotel, leaving the towers' frames behind for implosion. The reason why the Trop is getting demolished because they wanted to build a new $1.5 billion Major League Baseball stadium that will be the new home of the Oakland Athletics. Construction of the stadium will begin sometime in April 2025, one year later after closure and it will be completed by sometime in 2028, just in time for the 2028 season. Before the construction, you will just see an empty lot where the Trop used to stand. If you like the Trop like me, you will think something is missing, "Hey, where did the Trop go? This doesn't feel right at all!" I have also heard that a new Bally's will be built along with the stadium. Why do they wanted to build another stadium, at this location by destroying the Trop, just why out of anything. They should build that stadium in an empty lot or something instead of destroying the Trop. We stayed at the Trop for 2 nights, right after Christmas Day in 2022, not knowing the hotel will get demolished 2 years later. Before we went to Vegas, we stayed in Los Angeles for 2 nights. We left LA at 11 AM, making our way to Vegas. It supposed to take about 4 hours to drive to Vegas from LA, but there was a very bad traffic jam, lasting into the night time. We got stuck in traffic for many many hours, before getting to Vegas. We even tried to bypass the traffic by exiting random roads and finding our way back to the freeway. At 11 PM, late at night, we have arrived in Vegas, checking in to the Trop very late! Our parking spot every time was in front of the bungalows. The doors that leads right into the bungalows are key carded, so we had entered through the front entrance the first night and check in. We stayed in the winter, so that the pool is closed. It was very sad that we did not experience the pool area at all, that this was our only time visiting and staying at the Trop. We are very lucky that we picked the Trop as the hotel we would stayed at. I am very sorry to see the Trop go! Farewell, Tropicana! I will miss you a lot!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I just wanted to see what they are building in the land where the Trop stood in the years coming! I really wanted to know!
