The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

I am a regular here and love the food, the ambience, the warm welcome. go for Breakfast or lunch, you won't be disappointed. also delicious cakes and excellent coffee.

Although the food is good the reference to the bill on the receipt reference was "ginger sket biach" we will be forwarding this to the boss when they decided answer the phone as we sore this on our receipt after we got home .. my wife is very sad about this !!

A great local pub offering well cooked, tasty food with friendly and helpful service. Sunday roast was excellent. Dog friendly too and a good garden at the rear.

A very enjoyable Sunday lunch with good quality food served by great staff. To balance this review and explain why it wasn't 5 star, the roast parsnips were missed out from both our plates (plenty of other food though) and the restaurant is rather noisy. Would I return? Absolutely.

Oh WOW ............... if you are looking for a beautiful meal in a small boutique restaurant this is the place. We booked in for lunch a family of 6 and a birthday celebration. The menu was stunning so many dishes I could of had chosen from and a set menu of either 2 or 3 courses. We chose some starters off the ala carte menu and then a main and pudding off the set menu. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I had the stilton and walnut pate followed by beef and lamb shepherds pie with cheese mash and it was beautiful. A crepe to follow with gran marnia sauce was delicious. We had the crispy duck starters also which were amazing and the rest of the party had steak and chips and the steaks were everything you would expect from a restaurant of this quality. I know our food choice sounds a bit basic but the menu choice is excellent. I little gem of a restaurant in the heart of Market Bosworth and we will definately be going back.

Always a lovely experience at Tea Cottage. Lovely breakfasts for all of us. Lovely friendly staff. It’s a super place and we are so lucky to have it in our area. Food excellent We love it xx

Wednesday 18 September 2024 6pm - four of us, plus 3 dogs, celebrating my granddaughters 18th birthday. Her first time ordering drinks! The bar staff acted appropriately, they asked her for ID before wishing g her a happy birthday. The food is always excellent at the Stirrup Cup - a starter of chicken strips - then four different meals, all generous portions and served hot. Our dogs are always welcome here, which makes it our go-to local pub.

Good food and drinks. Might be nice if they offer avocado on toast as an option as I would love to have that by way of a change.

I recently ordered a cappuccino for £3.50, and while the coffee itself was really enjoyable—great quality and served at a perfect temperature, making it drinkable right away—the portion size was disappointing. The cup was so small, it felt like a child’s portion. For the price, the amount of coffee served doesn’t justify the cost, and you would have to purchase two cups to get a decent-sized amount. Unfortunately, because of this, I won’t be returning.

We received a warm welcome and were invited to take a seat and enjoy a drink before the meal. The drinks came and we took a couple of sips and were then immediately taken to our table. The menu looked very promising with a good range of specials on the blackboard. The fish dishes looked excellent prospects. I opted for a 30 day aged filet steak which was cooked perfectly. The three times cooked fries were certainly cooked but very blonde and lacking crispiness. Whilst everyone in the party enjoyed their meals, it felt that with just a few tweaks, everything could be taken to the next level. We sat on a circular table as a party of six but its position meant that servers had to constantly reach over diners plates to deliver and clear dishes. The wine list was good and priced reasonably. I recommend the Primitivo.

Pop being served in cans is a no no for me. Poor presentation and the side salad was very poor (nothing like the photos!!) Over priced and not that much choice (had run out of bacon, eggs, various other things). The panini was nice but not worth anywhere near the £6 price tag. And a waitress with a "piss off" tattoo on her arm?? Really??? I'm not averse to tattoos, have a couple myself but if it's something like that, cover it up when working!!! Won't be returning.

Called for lunch. Had a starter and a main each with a soft drink. The service was fantastic. The pub was very interesting- could have spent hours looking round the displays and the food was excellent. Very quick service and the food was hot and very tasty. My only criticism would be that the fish batter was very salty as was my spicy chicken starter but otherwise everything was spot on. First time we’ve visited but we will be back. They also do gluten free options for a lot (if not all) of the menu options. My only regret is that we were too full to have a dessert!! Very good food, value and the staff were brilliant.

I haven’t been here for at least 30 years, the atmosphere was ok, but the meal was very average, and overpriced, the vegetables were very bland and unimaginative. As other people have commented, It felt like an old people’s home, in an 80’s time warp!

Great service, atmosphere and decor Perfect for a romantic meal. The food was wonderful. I said to my partner, i would choose this as my death row meal.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and Wonderful food. Simple and relatively limited menu, but each dish was fabulous . Still the only place that serves good wine in Bingham !
