The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Had a lovely breakfast here today - staff were lovely, breakfast came quickly and was hot. Tables being cleared promptly too - very good!!

Had a great experience, really friendly staff and excellent service. Food was delicious, and plenty of vegan / vegetarian options. I had the mushroom and ale pie. Ideal location for lunch or dinner after a walk at Stowe Gardens. Definitely would go back. We have pretty high standards but we were impressed, deserves a higher rating on TA than it currently has :)

Absolutely excellent food, service was outstanding the lady that served us, Millie, ensured our night was perfect. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back again.

We sat outside as it was a lovely day and we also have a puppy, we had to change tables as there were dog 💩 all around us as our dog was covered all on one side where he laid, tables were also covered in bird 💩, great breakfast shame about the garden not being cleaned up before they opened for business.

Used to be a great place but with small portions, high prices and anaemic under cooked chips it's not the place it was - seems it's down to the all too often kiss of death, hand a successful business down to your offspring and watch it go downhill faster than a Gloucester cheese. Good scenic location but not recommended.

Said it was open but it was shut

Excellent service from our waitress Georgia. Food was quality and not too pricey. Refill drinks are definitely worth it

Shockingly bad, from having to keep coat on as the pub was freezing. To ignorant girl serving (large girl with dark hair) 20/12/24 @ 13.45pm. Dirty tables, half of menu not available. Then the food... all cold, and tasted like it had been fried in the same dirty oil. I worked in the hospitality industry for over 30yesrs and would not have any of your staff working for me. They do not understand good customer service and the kitchen staff are obviously poorly trained. This pub is massively miss managed! Will not be returning and also be telling my many local friends to avoid it. Such a waste and shame. Won't go near a brewers fayre again!!

Very disappointing. Overpriced, poor food. Very small portions and extremely bland. Asked for some compensation as my fish (pollock) was so small and probably one mouthful of fish to the rest greasy batter. My lunch partner also complained of the very small portions. We were told it was because they catered for older people who complained portions were too big!!! Oh dear... service charge too. Don't bother. I'm all for supporting the hospitality sector in these difficult times but really, this is taking the mickey!!

Waited 1 hour for food came all cold sent back waited another 25 mins burgers wer hard couldn't eat them left half meal chips were very white hardly any salad cheese was melted to long very very poor food

This year's Halloween Party was excellent. All of the children had so much fun. Pumpkin carving, games, hot buffet. Brilliant value for money, friendly staff and great food.

Visited today for Santa Paws, never been to anything like this before. The staff at The Burnt stump were absolutely fantastic, very well organised and my dog loved the breakfast. Lovely setting with Santa and stalls outside. Hope it can be done next year Thanks everyone 👍

Service was shocking all looked like they didn't want to be there and like they already had an issue with you.. about 3 members of staff on all rude.Took our meals to the wrong table after waiting half an hour then 3 tables that ordered after us got there meal and ares came another half an hour later.I had steak which was just about warm and VERY fatty for a sirloin. Partner had burger which was same temperature and nothing special.Overall probably the worst meal and service I've ever recieved.. whole table outside full of plates and empty glasses attracting flies etc. Do not go.

We came here for a carvery meal which was good except for the amount of meat we were given which was tiny, half a slice of turkey and half a slice of beef, we had expected a bit more. We went to order a dessert but had run out of our choices so we didn't bother.

The staff at the Sugar Mills are always so friendly and helpful. Prior to us arriving, they went above and beyond to squeeze an extra guest in on a very busy night without having to change the time. We were welcomed with a smile and shown to our seats. The waitress was very quick in getting our drink orders and were very impressed with her memory as she didn’t need to write anything down and we had 7 meals plus alterations. Meals were delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was great and nothings too much trouble. It was very busy but the staff didn’t seem stressed at all. My daughter had a lovely birthday meal and we will definitely be coming back.
