The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We dined here for an occasion and Cleaver & Wake went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. I want to extend my thanks especially to Jemimah, who we were particularly impressed with as her service was outstanding. She made us feel very at home there with her warming personality which stood out and saw to any needs we had, including dietary requirements. The food was fantastic - from the complimentary croutons and truffle butter to the basil sorbet. A stand out dish was the pumpkin risotto. We had the Shiraz wine between us, which was very good. All round, a great evening and an excellent fine dining experience - we will be back for more!

Amazing Festive Sunday lunch today. I had the nut toast which was scrumptious and my partner had the pork loin dinner which included his favourite- crispy crackling. Vegetables were cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puddings were the best I’ve had outside of Yorkshire! Staff are super friendly and helpful and the fire was roaring which kept us feeling cosy. We keep coming back and we will definitely go back again. Thank you for a fantastic lunch today.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious, we had a mix platter of Turkish breakfast Highly recommend

The best fish and chips in the area. Nothing comes close.

Fish and chips are fantastic from Blue Atlantic. I have never had a bad experience, cooked from fresh and so tasty

Another great breakfast, came early and piping hot thank you

Went with my friend for coffee and cake. I had the raspberry bakewell tart was delightful. Took home coffee walnut cake for hubby and this was just as nice. Have been several times and always enjoyed lovely mocha coffee and a slice of something yummy from the freshly baked cakes. Would recommend.

Called in without booking prior to a trip to the Kinema in the woods - very welcoming staff, lovely food and very reasonably priced. We will be back!

After having several ‘tasting menu’ experiences at various local restaurants this was by far the worst! Bright lights, no atmosphere, filthy carpet, no table linen, paper napkins, chipped crockery, dirty glasses, bland food, no-one bothered to explain courses or ask if they were enjoyed, limited wine choice and, to top it all, we were charged for something we didn’t have! Would not recommend at all, try The lighthouse at Boylestone for a proper tasting menu experience!

The Humble Cat provided the catering for my Father's funeral and they went above and beyond what was expected. There were more guests than we thought and Vicky worked so hard to ensure that everyone was served promptly and that there was enough food. The food was wonderful and we had many positive comments. Thank you so much - we would very highly recommend Vicky and Humble Cat team for any catering needs.

Nicely kept ale - from Storm Brewing - and managing just one at a time in line with midweek custom. Cash only bar but nice locals atmosphere, on the back road between New Mills and Hayfield.

I am in the Lunchbox now - beautiful cup of tea! The chicken club sandwich is absolutely marvellous! Thank you

Worst place to eat, bad atmosphere and service

Brilliant place to stay, fabulous food, people, location and rooms

Been here a few times with the missus, always excellent service and food and recommendations from the Manager on duty ,we will be back again,,the best fish and chips Nottingham has to offer without a doubt,
