The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Absolutely amazing food the sweet potatoes and chicken was delicious my daughters chips were really and fresh definitely would recommend polite helpful staff

The venue was absolutely freezing. And an extremely creepy host who was getting drunk 18 year old girls to give him lap dances and trying to get their Instagram's. We went there for a bingo bongo night. Barely played any bingo, and we left half way through because the host was making us feel too uncomfortable.

Absolutely disgusting prices , we ordered two sandwiches one bacon and egg on normal bread and one bacon and sausage and was charged £19.68, we could have a bacon sandwich in the Ritz for this . After ordering the sandwich we were asked to stand outside on a very cold windy day. How rude after robbing us with the prices of a normal sandwich . This is daylight robbery and we will never ever eat here again .They also advertise a breakfast sandwich on ciabatta at £5.75 ?????? . Why was we robbed

Coffee was luke warm, bacon was undercooked, sausage was cold as were the beans and toast, hash brown was burnt, scrambled eggs were ok. Cafe was very cold and had to sort through the cutlery to find a clean knife and fork. Will not go there again

The service was so slow that it would have been quicker to go home and prepare it myself. Nearly all the tables were littered with dirty crockery and left over food. It was obvious that they were short staffed but they should have stopped serving cooked food and just carried on with drinks and cakes. It was the most awful experience I have ever had in a restaurant. I will accept that what staff there was did as well as was possible but should not have attempted to do cooked meals. Gordon Bradley

Amazing time. Heidi was just brilliant so attentive, quick with drinks. Will be back. Brilliant afternoon 😀😀😀😀😀😀

Always fabulous service. Food good sized portions. After an awful time at the clock warehouse,this pub saved our family dinner.

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

Came for lunch with the family and massively enjoyed my veggie roast. Nice mushroom and pumpkin seed slice with well cooked veggies, a plate so full I couldn’t finish and tonnes of flavour. Yummy G&T and very attentive staff. Thank you!

Food portions are not great. Fish is just pure batter and hardly any fish Chips were all scraggy Would definitely not come here again

Whether it was 'cause it was busy but............ Not a long queue but took 15 minutes to get to the hot food for starters. Then served my husband and then the ONLY server started talking to a work colleague. I had to interupt!!! another 7 minutes to pay. by the time we found an empty table, seemed to be only one person clearing the tables at lunch time, our poorly cooked and presented food was nearly cold. Dhepherds Pie was quite tasty but tepid. My husband had macroni cheese and chips. Chips were just about cooked and still white. Macaroni cheese flavoursome. not recommended for lunch time

Me an my family love the boat house the way it is and lots of people we no I here it's up for sale. Please l beg the person or persons that takeover it do not change the way its format is we love it the way it is. It's fantastic to get away from everyday things back home and relax and have a good old laugh and sing song. 😉😉😁😁

The food is very good, but the service is extremely slow, with unhelpful and surly staff. If you are within half an hour of the breakfast menu ending, they won’t serve you. If you are 10 mins too early for the lunch menu to start, they won’t serve you. If you are visiting within half an hour of closing time, they won’t serve you. Seeing a pattern here?I go with my 2 year old granddaughter, and thankfully she is patient, as we have waited over 20 mins for a fish finger sandwich! BUT, it is worth waiting for, as tasty and freshly cooked!

Another in the chain but the premises are a tad disappointing/ The service, and coffee are great . Priced as usual for Costa

Very Expensive for a small (minute) and large ( small) breakfast. 1 rasher of bacon on both plates + 1 burnt sausage on both plates. Not very appetising. Thry wanted 40p for a sachet of brown sauce of tomato sauce. A slice of toast was 75p. Won't be going there again.
