The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Great pub, good food and drinks, decent prices and friendly service. I was served by HW and RB and had a great time, would go again

Best eggs Florentine ever. Poached eggs were perfectly cooked, husbands English breakfast was piping hot with great quality sausage. Nicely done.

We visited last weekend with my family and we had a great time from start to finish, the service was so great for us , we also enjoyed all our food was really fresh And tasty too, I highly recommend this restaurant to every one as they have lots of nice food options not only on they menu , but they still have they daily menu which we think that is great to have on the restaurant, thank you so much to all the staff at Rocksalt Bistro

Had a fabulous evening with family. Food great as was the service. Thanks for getting my granddaughter a portion of mashed potatoes separately!! Thoroughly recommend

Lovely atmosphere & settings the staff were very polite & professional and service was quick and of a good standard. The food was amazing and good portions and hot and presented well on your plate. The wines we ordered was of good quality and we had a lovely meal. Re- booked, highly recommend.

It was a meal of a lifetime for us and absolutely sensational! My only slight disappointment was that we had no room for cheese at the end. We decided to try both wine selections: one opting for the cellar wine pairing, and the other for the standard wine pairing. Both were fantastic and included a creative selection, featuring Lebanese and Estonian wines I had never tried before, as well as an ice cider from Quebec, Canada. Every dish was presented in its own unique way and was a delight on its own. Thanks so much to everyone for making our evening special!

Good food, amazing carvery nice and local to Burton, Swadlincote and surrounding villages. Also friendly staff who go the extra mile. Highly recommended.

I'm not a local, but whenever I'm in the area I make a beeline for Turner's! Fantastic battered plaice fillet with chips and mushy peas, a bread roll and a cuppa tea. The fish was fresh, hot and very tasty with nicely browned chips and sweet mushy peas. A lovely soft roll with butter made for a lovely chip butty. Good portion size, plenty for a normal appetite. A fresh brew to wash it down. Very clean inside and attentive service. The carrot cake was also delicious. Yum yum 😋

Always go here every year when I go to mablethorpe market on Thursday, very reasonable prices , delicious fish and chips and a very reasonable price

We booked in for 3 nights from a Monday to a Wednesday on a bed and breakfast basis. We were aware that there would be no evening restaurant service for the first two nights. The location and grounds are beautiful and the front line staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Unfortunately the bed in our room was very uncomfortable - for a lightweight person the mattress was extremely hard with no give in it at all. As a result I had no sleep on the first night and was in a lot of pain by the morning, so much so that we reluctantly decided to end our stay. In accordance with the terms and conditions we were liable for the full cost, which we understood, and we paid without any fuss. However, as there seemed to be no other guests in residence at the time it was clear that our late cancellation had no impact on the ability to re- sell the accommodation to someone else, and I believe that meeting us half way with the costs would have been reasonable in the interests of good customer relations. We were offered another room but obviously the mattress was likely to be the same. I know everyone has different needs and there have been some very favourable reviews but I can only tell of my own experience. Our breakfast was well served and prepared but the choice was limited for a hotel of this standard - there did not seem to be any pastries/croissants on the menu.

Great service great value what's not to like. They have loads of offers but the lunchtime menu deal is with the cost of living the best value for miles around. Much better value than a certain carvery place not far away. Kitchen staff are faster than lighting as well.

Lovely food/drinks and friendly staff.

Birthday meal with family starter Asian beef salad stringy beef burnt crispy coating and covered in fried onions with soy sauce dreadful. Main lamb was OK dessert was Eaton mess more like Eaton mush. Over priced and pretentiousness. Great waiting staff very friendly

Stopped here whilst on a van journey across the UK. We picked this place largely in hopes of staying the night in the carpark and the staff were very welcome and happy for us to do this. We also picked this pub in particular as we saw there was Indian style cuisine on the menu and what we had was delicious. The Indian fish and chips were lovely, as was the chicken tikka masala. As soon as we entered the pub, the staff were lovely. Matt (I think was his name!) greeted us, kept the drinks flowing, had great recommendations and was easy to chat with. To summarise, anything we needed was provided, and we were left very happy. As a bonus, we didn't know they opened for breakfast, so had a great breakfast meal before heading south on our journey. I would drive through this way again just for the pub, so thanks very much!

I've had brunch here a few times and always enjoyed it. Today there were four of us: food & service were excellent. Highly recommend. Booking advised.
