The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We went there last year and this year in August. Last year we would have given five stars, this year just four. Prices went up, but quality and creativity wasn't as superb as the year before. Somehow imagination and passion are lacking a bit.

Lovely place. Not often the coffee is better than the pictures suggest. So uploaded a more recent pic as well.

What a tasty new menu. Love the Friday Bogoff. The service was great. The food was fresh and hot. The chips were amazing. Served by 2 bubbly helpful waitresses Nicole and Lauren. Nothing was too much trouble for them. That's why we return because all the staff are really friendly. The odd time when the food wasn't quite as good. They addressed the issue promptly and always with a smile. Great after sales service. Thanks guys

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

The curry menu looks amazing and tastes the part. Simply remarkable. If anything, service could be faster. The menu for dogs makes a difference for some of us.

Beef canapés is my favourite , amazing service and very busy

Amazing food! We was visiting the area for a dance competition the following day and our hotel didn't offer food. We looked this place up and the menu looked great so we booked a table. Food was delicious and staff provided great service. It was very busy, so it's obviously very popular with the locals and I'm not surprised why, with the vast menu options and delicious food. We both had the pie which was delicious. I had the cookie dough which was by far the best I have ever had and such a big portion that I felt sick when I finished haha, and my mum had the roulade which she said was the best she's had - even better than M&S! Only downfall for us was car parking was an issue, there was no spaces at all and I ended up having to park in a nearby street and walking with my disabled mum. It was probably because it was so busy though, so I wouldn't be put off!

Came with daughter and granddaughters for afternoon tea. Belated Xmas gift. Attentive, pleasant, excellent service given by Michelle. Nothing was too much trouble. Only downside, I thought the food was not a great choice and variety of desserts. Mainly scones, scones, scones. Rather overpriced compared to other venues.

Came with extended family and half of us had the roast, half had fish and chips. Starters were OK, fish and chips delicious, but Sunday roast was mediocre with lots of overcooked veggies. Desserts were lovely. Staff were great, with attentive service but food let it down today Bit of a mixed bag - have been before many times and have recommended to others but would try somewhere else now instead.

Lovely food and very friendly professional staff. Will definately visit again. Really nice mixed grill. Large spacious pub.

Stopped by for a quick drink and pizza for the first time. It had great potential and looks a nice pub. The pizza however took 50mins when they were not busy (4 other tables there only) and they managed to serve everyone else ordering after us their food out before ours. It was the worst pizza I have ever had. A tin of tomatoes as the sauce and an entire bucket of cheese on it. So much so I couldn't even pick up a slice of the pizza it was weighed and bogged down by it and the grease has pooled in the middle ...

This was as always, a super experience, not too expensive but has great food and excellent staff. Varied menu and wines made for a great evening out with friends.

Stopped in this lovely little retreat for a meal on the way home from Stockport County away at Mansfield. I was with my thirteen year old daughter. Bar Staff was pleasant. A bit of a wait for our meal however the pub was extremely busy. My daughter ordered cheesy nachos and myself the Beef and Ale Pie which was excellent I must say. My disappointment is the fact I have no grounds to write a stinking review as that would of prompted a hilarious response from Rick, that I have read on a couple of reviews. No complaints from me or my daughter, I am wouldn't hesitate to drop in again when passing. Thanks.

Lovely country pub, great food and friendly staff. Jasmine looked after us very well. Staying at a local campsite so very pleased to find this within easy walking distance.

We love some cheese. A lovely visit to Lincoln and we found this little star of an eatery. No booking, just rock up - if there’s space there’s space. The menu was everything cheesy; from soufflé to Mac & Cheese and to varied cheese boards. Absolutely scrumptious. And the service, impeccable. Beautifully welcoming, casual and fab. Absolute star of an eatery!! Thank you.
