The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

What can you say apart from a first rate service from the staff who attended to our every need and very swift to accommodate us a host who greeted us with open arms and warmth and our Christmas dinner that was absolutely Devine cooked to perfection and extremely enjoyable I’m glad we chose the odd house for our Christmas dinner thank you Craig and your wonderful team

I and my husband went for dinner .Restaurant section was empty . When I order my drink sprite waitress asked me pint or half and I realised that is not in the bottle so I wanted to change bottle of diet coke. After that strangely she was questioning that why I wanted bottle not the other option . Anyway then we ordered 2 starters , 2 mains and 1 puding. As a starter we both ordered the soup and it was ok. And the main course I had the fish which is disappointing. It was too tough , just boiled fish not even seasoned . It comes with raw onion ,some black olives, 1 bigh dried tomato and 1 egg. And again chef didn’t even put a pinch of salt in it. I finished the fish because I was so hungry and I didn’t want to waste it. Never come back again .

The lady on front was so rude to the staff she was working with , swore at one !! Shouting to someone in the kicken area behind the wall . Very rude and not polite to myself . Large order some missing . Potion was ridiculously small . Was about ready to leave and a staff member I think come in and she was swearing shouting and abuse to her the staff member said something and walked off !! I feel for the staff member it was totally uncalled for and completely unprofessional not sure if she is the owner or manager but she shouldn’t be working there she is awful and rude I front of paying customers !! I won’t return It’s a shame as food wasn’t bad but missing ! Sack the large lady out the front and your business will do better

better late than never, whilst driving down to p/borough for my yearly visit for truckfest, i decided to take a break for lunch at flos, but i had booked in advance via facebook messenger due to current climate with COVID 19,& with truckfest being 4months later than normal. anyway i followed the cafes social distancing rules and waited and then shown to my table which was reserved and near the door,& within minutes, i was served & i decided to order sausage egg chips & beans & coffee and b'n'b, & once again flos food hit the spot and all for the cost of £6, beat that "MOTO" & welcome break. well done to both members of staff at flos under current circumstances. will visit again without doubt . keep up the good work.

My mums birthday meal was in March we don't come from Melton, this was recommended and it's a poor tail when your customers can make you feel more welcome than the staff do, a large group near the bar was loud but entertaining, they gave the pub a good atmosphere, if it wasn't for them we'd have ate and drank our drinks and left but we stayed for a couple more as they was so friendly and welcoming, the food was great yay yous expect from a standard pub, we had to wait longer on the puddings than the main courses and when they came they just got slammed onto the table like it was too much of an inconvenience to serve us (which surely is there job role) the cleanliness wise the decor and carpet is mismatched, half the women's cubicles in the toilets don't work and neither does one out of two of the hand dryers, tables are not cleaned after customers leave even though the pub wasn't busy, so other customers was sat sitting on dirty tables even some had still had the left over dirty plates after they had ate their meal!!!!!!!

The wait for food over an hour, only 2 staff on, clearly struggling to manage fulfilling the orders. Cafe wasn't even busy

Expensive for what it is Yes of course everything is so expensive these days But this really wasn't value for money Great selection of cakes and brownies but high cost This along with expensive parking will make this a rare visit

Visité el Lime Tree en la hora del almuerzo 22 de febrero de 2017.

Having visited for Sunday lunch, I was amazed to be told that at 1405 they had run out of Sunday lunches. Not deterred we tried to order a normal meal only to be told that they had run out of those also. It does beg the question if A. they had not ordered enough basic ingredients in the first place or B. they couldn't be bothered to to serve anything off the menus. They did say that we could order a lighter meals or cake so we decided to perceive. What a mistake my partner ordered a bacon and brie ciabatta and I ordered the chicken tikka and mint wrap. My partners meal came and having taken a bite she found virtually no bacon, and what was in the ciabatta was just bacon bits. As for my meal I found only 3 small pieces of chicken and the rest of it lettuce. We paid £28 for this car crash of a meal and feel thoroughly taken advantage of. it goes without saying that we will never visit again.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Definitely recommend, lovely views and lovely staff. I definitely enjoyed it thank you!

This the best value for money at the very least in Northamptonshire that I have ever experienced. Friendly staff; more than ample portions; friendly atmosphere. Timely service delivery.

I love The Star. The cask ales are an ever- changing selection and are well-kept by someone who obviously knows how to run a cellar. Tom the barman knows my preference for ale now and if there are brews on that I'm unfamiliar with will recommend the one he thinks will best fit my tastes. He's rarely been wrong. You won't get football screens or loud music, except in a Monday night which is home to an acoustic trad/ folk music session. This used to be in the back room but has acquired so many attendees over the last year that it's now in one end of the main bar. The music is a great mix of both songs and tunes, with a real buzz most Mondays and is well worth a visit just to listen, or to join in if you play or sing. Otherwise it's just a great traditional pub serving excellent beer and somewhere to have good conversations with family or friends.

Nice building. Ambushed by a rude man upon arrival who gave us keys and told us to be at breakfast by 8.30am (Sunday) as thats when they switch fryers off. Whole place stinks of fat and dogs. Door handle to room broken, wooden platform, mattress springs knackered, road noise, a squeeze to get in the shower, no juice at breakfast, but the breakfast is the best part. An ok British breakfast- no other option offered, no jams and butter is flora. The lady at breakfast is far nicer than the young man and the older man who ignores you and rolls his eyes as he walks. Giving two stars as it is cheap compared to other places, perhaps we got the worst room, but will not return to find out

Came in with my son and next-door neighbour I had the steak pie and she had chips and fried bread we have both been really sick straight after leaving the restaurant will not be coming again
