The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

The welcome is great and and everything is well organised. Fresh vegetables always and all the food is of a very high standard. My husband and I visit as often as we can, yesterday we made the journey just to go for lunch.

Blend Coffee and Cakes gave my wife and I excellent service when we visited. As it was so busy (always a good sign) we had to sit outside but as it was a warm sunny day it made the experience even better. There is a good selection of meals and the freshly made meals are delicious. The service was excellent and very friendly. I highly recommend Blends.

Thanks to Chris, his staff & 'the locals' for making us welcome on our Motorhome pubstopover. I had messaged prior to visiting, to ask if it was OK to park up and was welcomed, just asked to eat & drink in the pub. Chris has only recently taken over and started food, currently a very limited menu but good portions and well cooked. No facilities except toilets when open, but we are self sufficient so not an issue. Thanks, Tim Sue n Bailey 🐾

Lovely little deli I visited yesterday. I went around 3pm and they’d sold out of a lot of stuff (great sign though!) so the woman behind the counter made a couple of substitutions for my chosen sandwich. The price is very reasonable, great quality ingredients, really tasty and good portions! I got two lunches from one baguette. They seemed so eager to help, make anything for you, which I read as much on reviews and on their website. Highly recommend, will definitely be visiting again! The atmosphere and products you can buy like cheese, chutneys, etc also look very nice, overall a really nice little upscale deli.

A warm welcome from lovely Jo and Danny and a wonderful relaxed, cosy atmosphere. I had quite possibly one of the most delicious pies I’ve ever tasted!

Amazing food! One of the best cooked stakes I've ever had. Great service aswell

Decent nice lady let us go to the co-op to get food we came back and paid very nice sausage roll was a 4/10 hot chocolate 7/10 so nice for the morning

What a lovely place to chill. Friendly staff, a wide variety of delicious food and drinks and a lovely atmosphere all round!

Been here twice and had a very pleasant experience, food is always piping hot and pretty decent portions considering the price, coffees are pretty damn good too, pleasant staff. Cozy environment

Highly recommended to come here for breakfast & lunch! Food is always 10/10 and they have the best Jackets potatoes

Popped in on a Thursday lunchtime for teas after a walk and was seduced by the prospect by of Brixworth pate and salad . Our host was very accommodating when we asked to share one portion and was willing to provide gluten free bread as well as v fresh french stick so as to accommodate my wife's gluten intolerance . Food and tea were excellent and v good value for money . Staff were friendly and efficient and the venue was v well kept .

We were invited to a friends surprise birthday party and fell in love with the beautiful ballroom and it’s stunning chandeliers. The service was excellent and the party couldn’t have gone better.

Rachel was absolutely incredible, was swiftly getting dirty glasses off our table and was such a friendly, kindhearted and lovely person.

Went for a meal, hadn't booked and the staff were very helpful. We sat in the booths which are cosy, and there was fire burning as the afternoon was cold. Excellent service, good wholesome food, and a drink. A very pleasant experience.
