The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Wonderful dinner and drinks, fabulous friendly staff and lovely cosy atmosphere. Would definitely come back again!!

The waitress was so rude demanding to know what we wanted giving us no time to decide left me feeling uncomfortable drinking my pint

Food was awesome, the place is larger than it looks, lots of space, dog friendly, will for sure visit again

Great food, we didn't have a booking but they kindly sorted us a table. Great service.

I’ve eaten here more than 20 times now, during the day, evenings and sometimes have a cheeky take away. Consistently excellent food, lovely staff and great atmosphere. My favourite place to eat. Highly recommend the smashed avocado with everything on it. The coffee and cakes are exceptional too.

Delicious food. Service excellent and staff were friendly and attentive. All round great dining experience

Positives first. Staff are pleasant and quick even on busy nights. However be warned, size portioning is VERY inconsistent and depends on who serves you. 9/10 I order a donor meat and chips, varying small or large depending on how hungry I am. Went this evening and the guy before me ordered a large, the box was overflowing even in a large box. This is what I normally expect. I also ordered and was charged for a large. Served by a different lady but was given less than a small just in the large box. Wont be ordering a large again.

Excellent fish and chips. The service was quick and very friendly. The high rating is well deserved. The place looks very clean. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful. Highly recommended if you're in the area and want to eat good fish and chips.

Lovely qirky pub in small village beer garden out back

A lovely sunset from the car park to an absolutely amazing meal with great service! The staff are so friendly and attentive to make your visit the best experience possible. The food was ordered and with us in no time at all. We had a starter of mushrooms which were lovely! Then we had the lasagne and goujons for main which was one of the best lasagnes ever eaten! For pudding we had a sundae and treacle tart which were so so tasty. Could not fault one element of this meal and it’s priced reasonably too. Best food and best service we have had in a long long time! Only wish we lived locally as we’d be in here all the time!

Good local pub,good ales,nice atmosphere

Had a full afternoon tea here and it was absolutely fantastic! So many delicious homemade savouries, quiche, sausage roll, vol au vents as well as delicious sandwiches with the freshest bread. Gorgeous scones and lots of scrummy cakes as well. Lovely friendly staff too. This is a real treat - Highly recommended.

Called in for late lunch, very traditional inside, menu as online, our food - pork pie, Stilton and ham - was very tasty and well presented, all at a reasonable price. Thank you.

Called here this morning before going for a walk round Matlock bath. Lovely quaint little tea shop with welcoming servers. Just had drinks but the menu stated a variety of food and cakes. Great prices also. Would call again as lots of Covid restrictions in place so felt safe.

Went in a couple of nights over the weekend, food was nice but had a bit of a wait. The so called manager, what an idiot, i have never seen anyone so rude and arrogant working in the hospitalty industry. He has absolutely no idea what he is doing, if you try to talk to him to explain something is missing from your food he says "its not my problem". We asked if the table was still reserved and were told "you've got eyes the dame as me, look dor yourselves". He has no manners at all, he spoke to some of the staff like they were trash and all he kept saying was "i'm Luke, i'm the manager", and that was pretty much his attitude. On the other hand there was a lovely lady calked Tilly who couldnt do enough for you. Made sure you had everything you needed, dealt with a lady with allergies impeccably making sure they could cater for her. I watched her go around the whole room chatting to people and making sure they were ok and made them feel welcome. This is how hospitality works, unlike "Luke the manager". The other members of staff that caught my attention was Zoe and Georgina, they are both lovely and if it wasnt for Tilly, Zoe and Georgina i would definately have left a bad review. If the owners have any idea what they are doing they would surely get rid of the alleged manager Luke and keep the other 3 staff as they would attract custom and not lose them as Luke will surely do that. I will go back again once back this way and hopefully it will have improved.
