The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Decent enough breakfast bap which could have done with a little more filling and a cup of coffee served in very clean and pleasant surroundings with good service from the staff.

We visited twice whilst on Holiday to watch the Play Off for League two, found the service to be excellent along with the food, the Chicken and Bacon Panini were really nice and very reasonably priced. We are back in August and will definitely visit again.

Everything about our visit was just amazing. The inside was lovely and all set up ready for diners. Such a lovely welcome from the landlady Claire. Wide variety on pump and nice wines. Brilliant prices especially for the main meals. We had a few starters to share that came out on a grazing board and were all very very nice. We sat out in the beer garden with great views. Overall Everything was perfect and we will definitely be returning.

We visited on a lovely sunny early November late morning. The coffee shop is in an excellent location, opposite a car park -£2 for the day in winter and only c 70 yards from the sea. It is well appointed with plenty of tables and we had a nice window one looking out to the town. We just had a coffee and cake, both of which were very good. The lady suggested we had a half shot latte as we don't like it strong and she even came to check that it was ok which it certainly was. The sandwiches looked good and the food and drinks were very competitively priced. I am amazed at some previous, what I would call nasty reviews. It seems popular with the locals with a nice ambience and we couldn't fault it - we will certainly be back.

I went in here today with friends for lunch myself and one of my friends had a roast lamb dinner but the roast lamb wasn't roast lamb, it was lamb chops instead which were tough and fatty, myself and another one of my friends ordered a milkshake and it appeared to be from the milkshake shop next door. The menu does not state the lamb was lamb chops and that the milkshakes are from the milkshake place next door.

Worse breakfast ever all ingrediants cheap best thing was the fresh tomato Wont be going back evenvthe coffee was taste lust

Asked for a banana milkshake. What I got was milk with banana flavouring stirred into it. Trading standards should be informed.

A massive, massive shout out for Anita (hotel employee) from Thursday 29th August this year I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding at this wonderful venue. I have covered many weddings here and the professionalism and quality of all staff is impeccable always. Finally I have found a moment to praise them all in this post. I think I may have to say that this very organized special day falls in the top 5 of the best wedding venues I have covered in my entire career (40 years). Sam the wedding planner/organizer from my point of view also deserves praise. If anyone is wondering what the table cloth picture is all about, this was Anita creating a safe den area for the young children to play and she told the children not to open the door and escape into the main hallway of hotel for their safety which they obeyed 😇. Absolutely 1st class in every possible respect, a dream venue. I was very kindly treated as a guest by the couple so I had the full 5 star treatment for the entire day, evening and night time. Love to all ❤🥂📸 x

Dawn and Martin run a tight ship here. The staff are so friendly and the pub is very clean. Great choice of beers. Thanks Dawn and Martin, and all staff! It’s great to see the revival of the Rutland

Nice selection. Great pie meal. Came out piping hot and fresh. Lovely small park for children to play. Hidden little gem and will be returning

I have been recommending this place because when we went for breakfast some time ago it was so many items @ certain prices. But we went with friends yesterday & OMG what a rip off . 2 were going to have the Peak breakfast £9.20 but after seeing one being put up only 1 was ordered. It stated roasted tom (1/2 of 1) potato Rossi (rock hard & not fresh) field mushroom ( only 1/2 of 1) 1 ordered toast & raspberry jam (strawberry turned up) 1 ordered gluten free toast & 1 ordered scone with cream & raspberry jam. Scone turned up with butter then strawberry jam(not raspberry) no cream. All of these went passed our table & went outside (even tho our table number was well displayed) it then went back into the kitchen (walking passed us again) so when it was delivered it was rock hard & cold. The place was not even busy when we were there did get busier later on. Would we recommend again OMG NO.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff! ... We phoned in advance to enquire about the vegan options re the Sunday carvery. They went above and beyond by preparing us some separate vegan friendly veg that were cooked to perfection and timed perfectly with our arrival! All served with a smile! Thank you for such an enjoyable experience!

Went to Buxton for day trip fish and chips twice two cups of tea £24-00 chips were cold dripping in fat and scabby fish was also dripping in fat avoid this dirty place at all costs I used to work in a chip shop don't understand how they can serve this crap and get away with it

Saltbox Bar for the lauch of Mollis fried chicken kitchen takeover. If you didn't already know, Mollis is known for their ULTIMATE fried chicken on derby road next to Alchemilla by Alex Bond chef Saltbox have teamed up with Mollis for a 3 month kitchen take over in Bolero Square next to the entrance of Motorpoint Arena Nottingham Its available every Friday and Saturday evening from May to July. We chose a couple of chicken burgers. One with Nashville hot oil fried chicken miso ranch, beer pickle, lollo rosso, furikake. The other,Classic southern fried chicken kewpie mayo, pickles, lettuce, cheese sauce. A side of Fries,house seasoning topped with parmesan. Pink fir potato, truffle curd, crispy onions and a roasted garlic mayo sauce. They also serve some amazing chicken wings, either 6 or 12 in two delicous coatings. If you've not managed to make it out of the city to try them before. Theres no excuse now, as you can pop in when you go to a nearby event or you just want some really good chicken in the town. You can even order it to take-away.

Went for a Sunday roast. Prices for the meal were very reasonable. The food was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very relaxed pub.
