The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

It was very busy. Atmosphere was great. Bar staff was on the ball particularly Simon and another young girl (blonde), sorry don't know your name, but didn't wait for a pint, everyone was happy and chilled. Didn't have any food but we will do. We'll worth a visit

Stopped in for lunch and some shopping. Tried fish n chips in cafe one with beans and other mushy peas. Very large fish, all fish unlike some the have half an inch batter on each end. Had to wait about 10 mins as cooked fresh and excellent value at £6.99 each.

Enjoyable meal as part of Murder Mystery event. Not the best meal I've ever had but great value. Breakfast was substantial and excellent

Incredible meal at the cast iron bar & grill, we’re a bit hesitant because of the negative reviews but the food was insane, staff were lovely and would 100% return! Such good value for money! Went to the Ivy a few months back and would choose here over there any day :) thank you guys!!

Quirky place... something a little different...such a shame they only take card payments... otherwise, we would have stayed longer

Sadly, The Rose has closed down, and is now all boarded up. There had been a "For Sale" notice last month, but even this has gone. From a local resident.

Beautiful chip shop, highly recommended. 😋😋😋 Tried pie &:chips,sausage, fish, can't fault anything,, definitely a. Regular chip shop.😋😋😋

What a great find! We found this place on the internet and drove around an hour to get here and it wasn’t a wasted trip. It’s not a big place but is just right for having a good look round. We had lunch in the Gardener’s Tea Room, both of us ordering the lite bites from the menu. It was fabulous! Fresh ingredients a hot chips as well and great value. The staff were very polite and accommodating and the place itself was clean and inviting. We would certainly come back and recommend to anyone.

Hotel godny polecenia. Wysoki standard. Obsługa pierwsza klasa. Pokój duży, nowoczesny, czysty. Jedzenie bardzo smaczne. Animacje są prowadzone przez najlepszą ekipę! Codziennie duża dawka śmiechu i zabawy. Nie da się nudzić w tym hotelu. Tydzień to za mało ;) Piękna piaszczysta plaża 🏖️

Mientras viajaba vimos esta señalizada así llamada en, genial, tocino, bollos, etc, varios cafés diferentes, tomé capuchino, muy caliente, genial, no se enfrió mientras comía mi sándwich. Un montón de mesas y asientos, personal amable, solo queríamos algo ligero, pero había algunas comidas decentes en el menú

The Holywell has had it’s ups and downs over the past few years, but the new owners seem very keen to put it back on the map. The newly refurbished interior is very nice, with reupholstered seating and new carpet. Although the rear garden isn’t open yet, stylish new garden furniture is in place, and once the mindlessly vandalised marquee has been repaired it will offer a great outdoor space. Not a huge range of beer available at the moment, but this will obviously improve when customer numbers increase. The beers on offer this evening were all in good condition and very reasonably priced. I understand that food will be available once again in the coming weeks. It’s down to all of us pub lovers to support our locals, to ensure they remain open and not turned into drab apartment blocks!! For the Holywell to thrive, it needs support!! Go in for a pint, or grumble in a few years time that the only places left are chrome and plastic gastropubs!

We went for Afternoon Vintage tea for two on a group on 2 weeks ago. The cafe was freezing. We had to keep our coats on. Service was ok but we were the only customers for quite a while. We have sampled several afternoon teas from other places and Granny Smith's is a let down. The sandwiches were plain and unexciting. The scones were ok. The cakes were very poor and cheap. No flair at all. The young lady serving us was pleasant enough although " no problem" every time she did anything does grate after a while. Course it's no problem if you're doing the job you're being paid for. Won't go back. Won't recommend.

We've been using Eskimoo since it opened up in Lincoln. The staff have always been wonderful, kind and interacted well with my kids to make it a special experience. The flavour options are fantastic and I haven't had a bad flavour combo yet! Thank you.

The reason I've only given a 3 rating is because Butterwicks cakes are so sickly. There's way too much butter cream on the cakes. I'm sure the butter cream use to be different. Same as the icing on the doughnuts.very sweet. Also the sponge is very dense and stodgy. I've heard a few people say the same. I loved Butterwick as well. 😕.

I thought I would try this pub one more time seeing as it's the only one in the village yet again the nasty individual thatworks/runs this sespit was at it again. This time it was a lone man. Absolute disgusting behaviour. Why is the brewery employing someone who knows nothing about hospitality or village live. Time to boycott till the brewery steps in.
