The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Our waitess ‘Lana’ was so helpful and made our experiance so much more enjoyable and had super fast service.

Great place and has been around a long time. Great for a drink or food especially if you've worked up an appetite bowling across the road. The food is amazing especially the brisket and mash. Definitely recommend one of the best eateries in the area.

Nice clean. friendly staff. Great food

Went to a 80th birthday tea. Was warmly welcomed, the food was lovely & a good time was had.

Just had a fantastic evening at The Navigation Inn for my daughter’s 18th family meal. Wide range of food on the menu and absolutely lovely and tasty food, the steak cut was delicious, everyone enjoyed their food and that’s rare for my family! Highly recommend. Staff were friendly helpful and hard working top marks to Carl for looking after our table! We will definitely be back

Came in for last minute food with my Family Amy R she was fantastic thankyou so much your very lovely and bubblely. Your amazing at your job

We were asked how many adults and children when we walked in (we had pre booked) and were given the children's menus (our children were 13,12 and 11) they ordered the chicken tenders off the menu and got 2 very, very small pieces of chicken and a few fries when we questioned was that it - the guy said the children's menu is for for only up to 5year olds - he clearly saw the family group as showed us to our table and there was no mention of ages on the kids menu. So very disappointed with their meals. My fishcake starter was over cooked and hard to cut through plus lukewarm. The pie and lasagne looked great and plenty of it , the bacon and cheese burgers were quite small and the bread was too toasted. Michelle who served us was absolutely great, very attentive and helpful. Overall it was OK but did feel cheated with the children's food and it should be stressed about ages if this is correct or mention the portion is very small.

Filthy tables, no cutlery available for 15 minutes after food had arrived. Server would not pass me my plate of food off of the tray saying it was too hot for her to hold and happily let me move the hot plate myself. Waited 20 minutes for a tap water and had to go back to the till to request it. When we asked for some extra sauces the server threw them on the table whilst passing! Food quality is poor and I would not recommend!

We had a really nice meal here. The prices are reasonable, the service was warm and friendly and the pub itself was lovely. Even though it was busy when we visited we didn’t wait long for our meals and everything was very nice when it came out! We'll definitely be back.

Owner shouted a lady out the pub after she went to the loo. That is not what a respectful staff member should do and I’m disappointed that that would happen in the local pub.

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

Rice was stodgy, chicken balls not crispy, other dishes not very tasty

Visited this place on many occasions- usually ok. Not today though - customer service was poor, ambience was unusually loud & food was poor. Visited for Sunday lunch - choice's limited, food not hot so returned & reheated, alternatives provided without asking - overall poor quality except pizzas which were ok. Did raise our concerns but not acknowledged. We will pay our money & make our choice by not returning here. You need to get things sorted or you will be losing a lot of customers.

Lovely spot, restaurant recommended by a local. We arrived 15 mins before they started serving, so plenty of time to read the menu. When waitress came to take the order, my husband chose their homemade pie but was told 'we didn't have any at lunch' and after checking with the kitchen, still didn't have any at 4 pm (pet hate of mine - tell diners what's not available when you give out menus) Three of us had the loaded mac n cheese but we all agreed it was creamy but not cheesy. Staff were readily available, one young lad was lovely but the female staff not so much. I asked for the bill as I was going to the ladies and the girl snapped at me. I'm afraid we would not return, bit of an add experience overall.

We went to Woodcocks for a big birthday. We were served by Corey. Corey was very professional and attentive, couldn't have been more helpful. All the food was fresh and hot, all steaks cooked to each persons liking. Desserts were fantastic too. We really enjoyed our experience and look forward to returning.
