The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Firstly, as a pub it’s absolutely fine. Probably as good a Spoons as you will find. Specific gripe - brought the kids last week to eat and ordered through the app - chips “sold out” ! What sort of Spoons runs out of chips? They could have just gone to one of the 4 nearby supermarkets for more? We left because the kids had decided they wanted pizza and chips. Went back today - Saturday lunch time. Again ordering through the app at least half of the menu listed as “sold out” ! Managed to choose 4 meals from what was left. Then ordering drinks for the kids - no coke (actually Pepsi / Pepsi max) or lemonade!! I mean what sort of pub runs out of coke and lemonde on a Saturday lunch time ?? Won’t bother again.

We had a great Sunday lunch. Excellent service and atmosphere. Food was good quality and plenty of it. Very fair price. We will return as soon as possible.

Ordered a very very well done bacon sandwich asking especially the fat to be crispy and a hash brown Bacon came not crispy let alone VERY as the cashier put on the order and hash brown Luke warm Very dissatisfied with this visit Cashier/assistant and waiter were very good though

popped in for a few pints on a saturday afternoon . staff were very friendly and knowledgable about the beer . excellent selection including a sour which you don't often see. great atmosphere and friendly locals. my only complaint would be the tinny speakers and music - but that's small issue

First time going here, bought a big bottle of fanta, tasted disgusting. Checked the bottle & it was almost 5 months out of date. Won’t be going here again.

Dreadful. Avoid. Geordie guy serving is very ignorant and rude. A proper chauvinist. Very basic carvery with frozen style yorkshire puddings.

It was the best breakfast out I've had in a long time. Good atmosphere, friendly service, a well presented, perfectly cooked plate of quality food . The black pudding so often an overcooked afterthought in similar establishments was really tasty.

I see in this extremely below average pub it says vegetarian friendly, I asked for a veggie option, after getting a blank expression off the landlady (I was wondering weather I should have bought a dictionary with me) she said I should have pre arranged it 😂 I have had better service in Macdonalds in Derby at gone midnight dealing with some halfwitted teenager who clearly doesn't like his job.

We did the factory tour and after just had a cup of tea and a flapjack, which was delicious, very generous portions, too. The food in the restaurant looked, and smelt just as good.

Acoustics not great & a bit chilly. Feels rather empty with a feel of cafeteria about it. Warm, not hot coffee & the toast is a slice of thin, undercooked cheap bread. It’s such a shame, it just needs an injection of life, personality, warmth and good, hot staple food. The basics aren’t right, put some love into it!

Went out with family was a nice place food was a good price and was decent quality night was made by lovely waitress named Amy who couldn’t have been more helpful which goes for all the staff

Nice atmosphere at this bar/restaurant, reasonable prices, and attentive staff, only a two second walk from the beach!👍It can however get very very busy.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Great food , great service, great venue , great prices. Would definitely recommend. Lovely beer garden.

The Three Kings has been decorated and looks very nice. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, could not fault the service. Meal was nice - I have prawn cocktail which was excellent for a starter, however my main gammon, although acceptable, did not come out with any pineapple (perhaps it was because I asked for no egg and it was presumed I did not want the pineapple either?), plenty of fries. Overall a nice meal.

Staff were friendly enough, service was prompt, however I got a paltry amount of chips to compliment my "chicken" burger....no salad or owt. The meat was actually beef, which wouldn't have been an issue in itself, but the accompanying roll and 'toppings' were for a chicken burger, so I had mayo & lettuce on my beefburger. Not great, not even sure how that went so wrong and wasn't picked up by anyone. Photo shows the combination received, and the largely empty plate, can only imagine the focus was on the brioche branding.
