The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

What a lovely little gem. The room was amazing food great service very good. Would definitely would return.

The food wasn't the best, with the chips being very disappointing.

Enjoyed our coffee. But the shop looks like it cold do with a Deep Clean. Every where looks dirty/ dusty & floors awful. No spoons, girl didn't know where they had disappeared to. Shame on shop for me to take visiting friends to.

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 off on the way home and immediately got a warm welcome from the guy in the nursery. Ordered a small breakfast and a bacon/egg roll. Black coffee and a cup of tea completed breakfast. Coffee was good and both cuppas were in big cups. My breakfast was well cooked and tasty, swapped the tomatoes for fried slice, beautiful. The bacon and egg roll was huge with a few rashers and an egg. Both eggs slightly overcooked but still a good meal. Price was at the top end of acceptable at £22 but good ingredients and service cost a lot nowadays

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

I have been going to Ambika for years and found the owner quite friendly but since covid he's changed for the worse😠. I went to buy ladus and was told they were £14.99 a kilo! When I asked if they were fresh he got very defensive. I left empty handed and am not going back. Also they don't seem to be willing to help if asked about ingredients and put a lot of sugar in the foods. So haven't adapted for changes. A shame

¡Premiado pescado con papas fritas! Tengo que estar de acuerdo, esto obtiene mi premio como el peor pescado con papas fritas de todos los tiempos, el pescado regular era diminuto, más carne en un dedo de pescado a vista de pájaro, masa crujiente empapada, las papas fritas estaban pálidas y duras sin cocer y parecen estar hechas de papas recalentadas.

The Bacon Burger was the best I've ever tasted all other members of our party had different meals and all enjoyed theirs too Thankyou

Brilliant place. Its nice to go somewhere the staff have got there own personality. And all home made food .we definitely going back

Popped in as was close to where we stayed Half pound burger and chips and salad Meatfeast pizza and chips garlic mayo Really enjoyed it would definitely recommend

Me and my 2 children have a carvery and my partner had a pizza. 40 minutes from us ordering to leaving. It was very fast service and beautiful food.

Very poor food, cold and uninteresting. Apparently Marston brewery control the standard of the food served. Will not be visiting again

The pace was clean enough but one waitress in particular was very slap-happy in her tidying up and taking dirty pits away, she dropped a dirty knife on the floor, looked at it and carried on, it was still on the floor when we left over 30 minutes later!

Tables not cleaned, chairs dirty, food took a long time being served. Staff not very helpful. Not the usual wetherspoons standard we normally enjoy.
