The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Had excellent 3 course meal on Tuesday. Would recommend to everyone. Multiple choice menu. couldnt fault it ...

Lovely place, lots of beautiful things in the garden section and household. Wonderful Christmas dept for decorations and lights to beautiful gifts. Unfortunately the breakfast in the cafe wasnt as good, we tried the avocado on toast for breakfast, and it wasn't up to much one piece of toast with a small dish of avocado which really didn't look appetising, , and really wasn't up to much at all , we left most of it. Advice try something else

lovely place great coffee and changes for different seasons, bacon sandwiches are great and can save for free coffee, staff friendly and always clean

Absolutely beautiful setting! Friendly and welcoming. Staff went above and beyond to cater for us and it was thoroughly enjoyable experience. Nice to see a proper pub with good food and lovely atmosphere. Thank you. We came in after a long day and had quite specific requests which were off menu and they catered for us is such a sympathetic and patient way, all with a smile and a ‘is everything ok? Do you need anything?’ Thank you!

We took our friend for her first time here this lunchtime and we all came away full, content and happy. The food was great and plentiful, staff were considerate and friendly. We will be back 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

On a 3-4 hour journey to Alton towers and needed somewhere for food before heading home. This pub was an excellent find. Catered for gluten free with its own menu and even willing to customise my son’s fussy needs. Amazing service and food was excellent. Highly recommend! Thank you

Seems very quiet and uninviting since the Assistant Manager left to run her own pub. I would travel to her new pub but its 80 miles away! There's no conversation or interaction from staff, no engagement, just a very quiet sterile atmosphere in the bar area. Sure food is great but I visit for a pub experience not restaurant.

Very welcoming. This is now under new management and everything was excellent. Good atmosphere, great food and service.

Very pleasant large palace house

The service here was absolutely brilliant. Our server was friendly and happy, and we couldn't fault his work ethic. The food was delicious and not too badly priced.

I just popped in here for a pint after a long walk. Very good barman, excellent ham cob for only £2.50! The regulars were really friendly and helpful too.

We are a group of friends who have started to meet up at the Woodside, From the first time we walked in the staff made us feel very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are very attentive. We’ve eaten there a few times, the food always comes out hot and good size portions. The menus has something for everyone’s eating needs. Amy, the landlady, Archie and Connor and (sorry I don’t know her name ) the young lady with long blonde hair and the other staff are doing a cracking job of turning the Woodside around to be a great local pub. Keep up the good work and all the best for 2025 - The Woodies
