The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

I called off for a takeaway soya latte and was astonished at what I was charged. £4.20 is more than I've ever been charged for a coffee. I think £3.70 is more than enough to pay for a latte without an extra 50p for a dairy free option. I won't be going here again for my coffee.

This little bakery is a diamond . Fantastic cakes bakes and bread with a great location and super friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend this place . Oh , and the best Eccles cake I’ve ever had.

Well I just pop in for a coffee an something to eat with the wife and it was not looking good from the start. 1. Totally empty at lunch time 2. Odd smell inside of dirty mop. 3. Cups and saucers where dirty before the drink was spilled and my spoon had a tea stained plus the saucer was chipped. 4. The coffee and cappuccino tasted instant coffee and not freshly brewed. 5. Don’t visit again. I would not recommend the cafe.

Debbie liaised with our daughter in Australia and put on an excellent spread of very good quality food at a very reasonable price. All the staff were extremely helpful, the room prepared and decorated nicely and the garden full of colourful flowers.

Looking for a light meal whilst passing through Ashby we found "Fuel" towards the back of the market hall ( a fun place to browse). The menu caught our eyes so we went in. Our choices of wraps seem to take a time to come but 2 large takeaway orders left the place while we waited. The diverse fresh ingredients were obvious from the first bites, very tasty and healthy, the soup was also great. We get so used to fast food that we forget that hand crafted items take time. Nice to see they sponsor a local hockey team, putting into the community. I can see the appeal of having takeaways in the office, would put on a list of places for a repeat visit

Arrived not too busy had a table for two. Chosen off the lunch menu. I had haddock and chips husband had cod cooked in curry batter with chips. Didn’t have to wait to long. My haddock was very tasty husbands cod not so nice. We also had a dessert apple crumble and custard, well what can I say!! The crumble was uncooked so was returned with a complaint. Just said sorry and didn’t charge us, I should think not. We also noticed a chap had sent his starters back as it was still frozen, I think the chef was having a bad day Sorry to say we will not be returning. Shame really

Sadly, this place has gone downhill. The lady behind the counter tried overcharging us & was perplexed when we mentioned it to her. Chips are the only thing worthy of being rated as, in my opinion, nothing else is worth my money being spent on.

Loads of chips and kebab but poor product. Staff don't care, and 1 guy looks so pissed off he needs sacking,and why go off with my mushy peas to back room,I want see them being served!

We use the café regularly. The for is of good quality, well prepared and excellent value. You can call in, arrange collection or have your food delivered.

Fine - no frills, friendly and quick. The menu is burgers.... or burgers which is fine if you want a burger, (there are lots of options) and what you get is 10x better than what Five Guys sell and 50x better than McDonalds. I wish they did coffee tho.

Excellent host, friendly staff and delicious drinks. But... Lets talk about the cauliflower. Oh. my. days. The cauliflower might just even be the best thing about the place! I want that recipeeeeee.

Excellent fish & chips plenty in the portions good price.🐠

Called in for a quick drink and maybe some lunch ,found the atmosphere to be a little bit lacking and the drinks where quite expensive , there is a good outdoor seating area overlooking the river we decided not to eat there and left , it was ok but a bit disappointing, we probably wouldn’t go back in a hurry

It has been many months since i visited this pub with my wife and relatives and it has taken sometime to get over what could be the worst dining experience in my life. We chose the al la carte menu, minimum of four people, to get to the point the food was horrible, absolutely disgusting and a pathetic amateur attempt at providing a prestige service. I did take this up with the manager, after a very heated discussion when he failed to accept the blame, he went on the defensive and eventually tried to manipulate the situation to his advantage by accusing me of making threats against him. The Olde Coach House has never been a great pub and even after a refurb it still looks and feels dank, I felt sorry for my mother in law and her sister who paid the £180 bill, they were robbed, we all were.

I’ve ordered from here multiple times and this was the first time my order came late. I’m not upset though as they gave me a piece of cake to make up for it, I do live out of the way a bit so I understand the lateness 🤗
