The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

What a great find! We celebrated a birthday here this past weekend and cannot recommend visiting yourself. The food, service and venue were exceptional. When we booked they knew we were celebrating a birthday and put balloons and a banner above our table especially and even provided a complimentary cake at the end. We will definitely be returning

Fabulous village local! Landlady and co are fabulous…. So welcoming! Great stone baked pizzas and nibbles served. Good old fashioned family friendly pub! Lucky to call it our local!

The hosts are both very nice,The buildings have plenty of character.The menu is basic but fairly priced.Parking is good. Two problems arose during the stay.Most importantly was that the shower was not working correctly and was not providing hot water.The hot water at the basin was tepid at best.The shower issue was raised with the proprietor. Surprisingly, even though we were booked for a second night, no offer was made to repair / change rooms / reduce the room charge, not even a complimentary drink. Simply, a "thank you for telling us'. Also the wifi in the room had a very unreliable signalled was virtually unusable. Shame because this is a really lovely location and the owners are nice but these were very genuine issues. No hot water in January! Things go wrong sometimes, that's life but the paying customers concerns should have been addressed.

Went here with my family and wasn’t disappointed. Excellent food, nice owner and friendly atmosphere.. would definitely go again

After a long mornings work from 2am to 1pm I arranged to meet my wife for a chilled drink before heading home. We decided to meet and try out our local pub, The Lincoln Green as we understood it is under new owners and would like to support it.. Sadly on being asked if we were drinking only I was asked if we would go into the bar area. The lady was friendly and I have absolutely no issues with her as this is obviously(in my view) a very misguided policy. I informed her that we would not wish to do that as in the past we have found it cold with wooden floors which when the football is on makes it noisy. I have no issues with this in general as I enjoy watching football and make special trips to do so at pubs for the atmosphere but on this occasion myself and my wife just wanted a quiet, comfortable drink together. I explained this and added that the comfortable restaurant was totally empty. We were offered the chance begrudgingly to sit tucked around the corner as a large table(15 which soon turned to 8) was expected shortly. She declared that on this occasion we could but she had to state she couldn't promise in the future. I told her that we wouldn't waste our time trying in the future. We will just go straight to the CENTURION or HARROWS where we know we can sit in comfort and nice decoration for a quiet drink. Things I don't understand-1) if I was eating I would much prefer some atmosphere with some drinkers as opposed to an empty restaurant. 2) Had it been 11.30 with the possibility of a full restaurant I can understand not wishing to take tables but this was 2pm and totally empty. 3) we were not a noisy group who would be shouting and swearing and could spoil someone's dining experience 4) Surely a pub should be able to cater for diners, sports and football fans AND couples hoping for just a nice drink. Sadly, unless this policy changes we will not be back(unless to watch the football)

Hi no complaints may I make a suggestion get a website up and running on main internet non Facebook related and an ordinary email address without needing a message app down load I have questions I wannabe ask you team thanks for being accommodating about my hearing issues many thanks keep up the good work maybe you could consider being open all year round with your Jack rabbit wine bowl of chips and bread and butter of course thanks

We visited here last night for a 40th birthday meal. We all thoroughly enjoyed it, the food was fantastic, freshly cooked and not mass produced pub food you get so often these days. It was also very reasonable. There was a nice homely atmosphere and the service was good. We will definitely be returning!

The Plough is everything you could wish for in a country pub. Beautifully kept beer, cosy interior, always a warm welcome, good food and an absolutely stunning beer garden. The place is clearly loved by everyone in the community and with good reason. As a newcomer to the village I really appreciated the warm welcome. Highly recommended!

Visited for Sunday lunch. First of all the food was very good. We ordered roast beef and a roast pork belly. Both well cooked and with all the trimmings. The only complaint and it is a general one, is that the place was very busy, we were crammed in and felt that the tables were too close together. I think that the pub has become a victim of its own success.

Superb atmosphere from warm and friendly. Immediately lit the fire for just me and helped me choose from the range of Nepalese food. The food was SIMPLY DELICIOUS. Piping hot, delicately spiced and huge chunks of moist lamb. The lady behind the and a lovely regular even donated to The Great Tommy Sleep Out, which was why I was visiting this lovely part of the country. THANK YOU x

Walked from the Grand union canal (18mins). Dog friendly with garden at the rear. Food reasonably priced. Only had Timothy Taylor on draught £5.60 pt.

We were staying in the area so we thought we would come for dinner Friday evening when we got there it was pizza night. We walked in and it was so busy at the bar and it all felt very impersonal. We had our food which was good however we weren't asked if our meal was okay and if we needed anything. I know it was extremely busy but please don't lose the personal touch. Felt more like an hindrance and it was expensive for 2 of us.

What a beautiful pub with lovely attention to detail. Clean, friendly & welcoming. Pies are exceptional. Would return & recommend. Wide selection of guest ales. Dog friendly. Owner is approachable & dedicated to ensuring everything is just perfect for your visit. Efforts to make this a great pub hasn’t gone unnoticed . See you again.

Booked accomadtion a year ago through booking.com Last week checked booking for this weekend and seen there was a slight issue. Tried calling venue for over a week and number invalid, sent a number messages through booking.com. Then found on FB and sent a message through messenger. Informed me they closed the venue almost 9 months ago but didnt tell anyone not even booking.com. Money was being taken out of my bank tomorrow to go where I dont know. im due to go there in 2 days. Would have been 5/6 hour drive to find we had no where to go. Good thing I check my booking a good week before. Pretty poor service not telling any guests or booking.com they closed the doors.

Just visited here late for four fantastic fish and chips portions The gentleman really looked after us and was very kind, sorry I didn't get his name. Thank you also to the young lady behind the bar.
