The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Visited twice on sunny Saturday. First visit very busy, several stag and hen do's, very noisy inside and both outdoor areas rammed. However, managed to get served reasonably quickly and 2 large glasses of wine good value. Returned 2 hours later, after checking into hotel. Quieter although still busy, and got a booth at the back of the pub. Ordered 2 chicken jalfrezi curries. Arrived in 15 minutes, good portions, fluffy basmatti rice, naan bread and 2 poppadoms. Arrived hot and very tasty. Excellent value and good service. Tommy's Margaritas to finish, premixed but great value.

Amazing food staff lovely had lovely food was very good

This is one of the better Wetherspoons I have been in. The service isn't bad, not brilliant, but OK. Most of the staff are friendly if lacking in numbers at times.

Great owners. Friendly atmosphere.

Good value for money. I have enjoyed all my visits there

Our visit started very well, we were shown straight to our table and our drinks order was taken promptly. Shortly after our food order was taken … I had a starter but my wife decided not to … we both ordered a roast. Unfortunately, there was a significant delay in bringing the starter (liver pate) … a table near us that came in after us had their starters much earlier. To compensate, the chef increased the meat portion on the roast … a good approach, but there is only so much meat that one can eat. It would have been better to reduce the cost of the starter. It’s a shame that the service was lacking as the food was very good.

The manger is nowhere to be found, I saw mice in the bushes, the staff don't look happy to be there which is no wonder after hearing how the assistant manager talks to them and in the end my food was cold.

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!

From the moment we arrived we were treated warmly by staff, we were seated immediately and the food was delicious. I had the lamb was fantastic and the mini pie was divine I could have eaten 20 more!!It's clear the pub is short staffed but the staff serving were fantastic, especially Lachie and Alex. This is definitely going to be our new local.Many thanks for a lovely evening.

Great food and service- really lovely lunch! Super food salad with king prawns was delicious as was the fish finger sandwich!

Stayed on Mid week break with my husband and in all honesty the main building is spectacular..Clean, stunning and easy access from the A1 (if you don’t have to cross the motorway) Was greeted at reception by a young girl, not sure of her name...

I stayed in this place on business as I was working in the area the bathroom had black mould on the window sill it was very dirty and the food was terrible I will not be staying here again !

With some negative reviews we were a little wary about eating here but were pleasantly surprised.The carvery was excellent and the italian chicken was also very tasty.Must mention the staff were very helpful.

First time we have Booked the lounge. This will not be the last. We were friendly welcomed at reception explained how it worked. The breakfast there was cereals, porridge, cold and hot fresh food you can go back as many times as you wish. The drinks there was a good selection alcohol or non alcohol, along with a coffee machine. There were no toilet in the lounge area which is a shame. Overall a good experience

Where to start! I didn't see one member of staff smile and it was so slow. There were 9 of us wanting tea, coffee and scones. There were only a couple of members of staff so we had to queue very slowly to order and pay, then queue very slowly to get our drinks. The tables still had used cups etc to clear away and we all thought the prices were high for what we got. I paid almost £4 for a standard latte! In the garden centre itself the prices again were very high. The ladies toilets were disgusting! Out of 3 toilets one had no paper, and the large bin for putting the paper hand towels in was so full it was overflowing. This was at 11.30 am so I would say the toilets hadn't been check at all that morning they were a disgrace! I bought a birthday card and they didn't even put it in a bag even though it wasn't wrapped in cellaphane. We won't be going there again
