The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Our choice of the tea cottage for a light lunch turned out to be a great one. The menu isn’t long but it doesn’t need to be because there is plenty of choice and freshness and quick service are the hallmarks. Delightful, apart from the difficulty parking.

Such a wonderful pub and amazing service. Food was delicious and would recommend to all. They go above and beyond we were a very large group but food was served to perfection I had the 3 course menu but I actually took my pudding home as I was much too full.nothing was too much, it was packaged up without any fuss and very much appreciated. Thanks again

The staff pleasant. The starters were not impressive. However the main course was delicious. Would recommend just gathering main as it’s a lot of food, starters are not really necessary anyways. All in all, nice experience. I would recommend them.

Coffee and food was good as usual. Just disappointing that the staff were so unfriendly and unwelcoming, miserable, as if they I didn’t want to be there.

Nice cafe with good coffee and some lovely pastries. Particularly like the cinnamon buns and the cardamom bu s

The food was good and the atmosphere great as the place was busy. On the downside, we were very cramped for space at the table because they had obviously squeezed as many people in as possible. Also, when my young granddaughter needed her nappy changing we discovered there were no changing facilities. We were told they didn’t have space despite having had a fairly recent extension. Unfortunately I don’t think we would go again with a child or children.

Had our works Christmas party here. It was very well organised, staff were super helpful and really friendly. Relaxed vibe and comfortable atmosphere. The dinner was delicious as well.

Fabulous meal for our Anniversary. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. We would highly recommend No.5. Atmosphere is perfect for couples and equally larger groups. Thank you

For the second time we were approached by the waitress who said 3 times that this is not available so we left for the second time! I know that place is up for sale but really!!!!!!!

It was a spur of the moment visit, but I wasn’t disappointed , got seated straight away, even though place was busy , decor very nice , staff pleasant and attentive

Lovely pub. We ate in the bar because our friends had their dog with them. Didn't see the restaurant area but hopefully next time. The bar area was fine but not very busy but I'm sure the atmosphere in the restaurant area was better but that's our fault for having a dog with us. Staff were lovely and friendly.

As it was a sunny day, the place was busy although we found a table. Recently the menu has changed in my view for the worst. Prices have leapt with choice not as good as it used to be. Although our order arrived in decent time one or two people who came in after us left upon being informed there was a waiting time of over 30 mins for cooked food. We have been regulars here but with the menu change and big increase in prices will sadly look elsewhere.

We bought sandwiches from Cintra to take away for our walk. Just a cheese and tuna baguette and a cheese and cole slaw baguette - nothing fancy - but they were £8 each! Neither sandwich had any seasoning and were completely underwhelming. If you’re going to charge that much for a sandwich, make it memorable and delicious. We won’t be going back.

First visit to this wonderful pub for Sunday Lunch. Booked a table in advance which I am glad of as it was very busy. Very cosy pub, staff very welcoming. I had a Roast Pork Dinner and my husband had Steak & Ale Pie. Both meals were delicious and generous sized portion. Highly recommend. We will definitely be going back.

On holiday found this pub by chance. Staff were so friendly, nothing too much trouble, meal arrived quickly although they were very busy. Food was excellent, piping hot and very good value, also good portion size. Given a bell on the table to ring when ready to order, not rushed at all, although as I said they were very busy. Which in its self shows what an excellent place it was. Fully recommend it.
