The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Great poached eggs on toast really fresh delicious eggs My husband had the little tickler breakfast really enjoyed. This included x2 hash browns, toast, x2 saugages, mushrooms, baked beans, eggs and hit tomato sauce.

I come here on weekly basis with my children, for playgroup and some food at the cafe, I absolutely love it and would recommend to everyone. Such nice staff, lovely warm environment the food is outstanding and at very reasonable prices, the kids love it, got a nice soft play area for them to run around in whilst I can sit and chill with a hot drink. Would definitely pop in, whether it's with kids, yourself or friends, just for a morning/afternoon out.

Lovely venue, great food, and friendly service. The music was a little bit loud for a family Sunday lunch vibe but otherwise great venue!

Came here twice, once for dinner and then for Sunday afternoon drinks. Outstanding hearty food and a lovely community atmosphere for a beer. Thanks to Vicky and her team. Quite possibly the best pub ever.

Excellent place. Wonderful staff, that are friendly and really get into the spirit of the venue. A good three course meal, great music and lots of dancing.

Absolutely fantastic food here. Really good portion sizes and very very tasty. Really good prices also.

Went for breakfast and honestly cannot fault this place. One of the breakfasts I've ever had when eating out. Every element was great (even things like the tomato and mushrooms which are often neglected). Also the portion size on the standard breakfast (in a good way) is ridiculous! Service was genuinely delightful with friendly attentive staff that really seemed to care about the experience. I've also been for lunch, dinner and Sunday roast which are far busier services but again cannot fault this fantastic pub/ eatery! Highly recommend.

Popped by Hambleton Hall while visiting Rutland Water—stunning place with peaceful grounds, great views of the water, plus a pool and tennis court. The village is lovely too. Can’t wait to come back and book in!

The best bar for live sports in Derby. Two massive screens, loads of TVs, and if you can get a booth you can choose which channel to watch. The food is decent, and for 40p per wing on Wednesday, it's a good place to watch champions league games. Draft beer selection is decent enough, with neck oil and brewdog wingman available for those beer drinkers wanting to have some other than lager.

Great service. Awesome knowledgeable staff. Really good gluten free options

Came here for a Christmas lunch with friends after a walk. I was a bit sceptical, having had a less than good experience when the pub was under different management. What a turn around. Great food, promptly served, and helpful, friendly staff. Can recommend the hake as well as the braised beef. My other half was really impressed with the turkey lunch. Will definitely be back.

What a lovely first visit to this charming little country pub this afternoon! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome by the incredibly friendly staff—every single team member was polite, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. That level of hospitality truly speaks volumes about the place. The homemade Sunday roast was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The pub itself has such a cosy, inclusive, and intimate atmosphere. A real hidden gem, and we’re so glad we found it. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you all 😄

This was a wonderful find and I have been back on a number of occasions. The food is amazing and the staff and atmosphere is brilliant. The sad note to this is that it is closing soon and we will be missing yet another excellent pub due to lack of custom. I’ll be very sad to see the end of yet another amazing establishment.

Good food but should i say expensive.

Just passed through here to see the buildings. Lovely village and area. Will try the cafe next time.
